The views from the balcony of the unit are great, and the interior is very nice - modern appliances and well kept. It's very spacious, with high ceilings, nice big showers, and big beds.

The location is great too. It's a ways from Lihue (about an hour) and obviously the other Southern cities are further than that, but gives easy access to the rest of Kauai's North Shore and relatively small crowds.

Princeville isn't so much a town as it is a collection of condos, houses, and hotels built up around a golf course. There is a small marketplace nearby with several (good) restaurants, a grocery store, post office, library, and a few other things. Hanalei is the nearest actual 'town', just a 5-10 minute drive down the road.

There is also a hidden beach accessible via a (steep, but paved) trail on the Northwest side of the campus, which is a nice little hike to an uncrowded beach. There are also some barbecue pits down there for cooking.

The only thing to be aware of with this unit is that the neighbors can be noisy. This is of course luck of the draw, but the units aren't very sound proofed and you can sometimes hear your neighbors. For example, we heard a baby crying, someone blowing their nose, and loud talking even from the bedroom with all windows closed. They do post info about quiet hours and being courteous with regards to noise, which helps in this regard.

Another thing to note - this unit is managed by a company, Kauai Vacation Rentals, and they only use VRBO for the listing. As soon as you book, they'll tell you they use their own app for everything, including messaging them, which was a little surprising to us when booking through VRBO.com. Not a big deal, but we had problems contacting them through their app - sent several messages about recent historic rainfall and flooding without a reply (no replies on messages in the VRBO app, or direct email either), and finally had to call them.

You have the option of picking up your unit's keys at your rental car's counter, which is very convenient. They'll ask you to drop the keys off at their office in Lihue when you leave, which is not a big deal as it's right on the way to the airport.
