"Aging property but this unit has been partially updated. Great location in Princeville and all of the amenities we needed, but the condo is just well worn and could use some TLC. "
"Certainly the location and views are the best you can get! None come close.
The bed in main room was extremely soft and unusable. It was so soft it hurt to try. But fortunate ly the 2nd bed was okay and we were able to enjoy.

"The communication is the only thing I'd mention. During our stay I called the number that was provided and received no answer. Had to email. The last day we were there I'm assuming a maintenance man showed up and just walked into the condo at about 7am, because he was told that it was open all day even though our check out wasn't until 10am."

Comfortable studio with well stocked kitchen. There were more tools in the kitchen than in many Air bnb's I've stayed in. Nice grounds and pool. Since the property is on a cliff, there is a shuttle to the St. Regis to use their beach/bay/water sports/ cabana servers-- what a treat!

I only needed the room for one night, so I didn't stay there long. It was fine for just a bed and a shower, but the bathroom was really small. Also, there is no elevator, so you may need to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs. Parking was hard to find when I arrived at 9 pm, but there were signs that parking was available behind the building.

Positives: Grounds and condo are beautiful. Pool is original and well kept. Has its own nature path. Was immaculately clean upon check in. Great amenities with tennis courts etc. With free rental of equipment.
Negatives: Did cost an extra 25 dollars to park and condo fees. Parking should be minimal fee. 10 dollars max. Based on location /isolation of units, there should not be a problem with visitors parking there.

We were able to confirm that staying on the east of the island in Kapa’a was the most convenient. Although it does rain here and there it does clear away. You are very close to the airport and walking distance to great food options. If it matters a 2 minute drive to starbucks ;) We are coming back for sure...
