We love Princeville and love staying in that area. This condo neighborhood is lovely and well laid-out and landscaped. We loved going to Hideaways pub one night and braved the steep walk down to the small beach. Perfect location for sunsets.
The unit itself is very nice. It is spacious, with nice furniture, plenty of beach extras, a large lanai, and comfortable king sized mattress.
However, the architectural design of these buildings is very flawed. I know that most places in Kauai don't have AC and when we visited previously, we didn't need it due to the tradewinds. This unit faces the sun all day. There are vaulted ceilings and the only windows are louvered and small and most of them are ground level so it is difficult to get good breezes in the unit. It was extraordinarily hot in the unit. There were a few fans, but no extension cords so you couldn't get the fans where you needed them. We called the rental agency and they provided two fans and two extension cords the next day. My husband was able to rig up an airflow that helped cool the unit down, but it was still fairly warm. So, great unit, helpful agency, but if you like AC, not the place for you.
