This was our first time booking a rental on VRBO, and frankly, we were just a bit apprehensive about what to expect. Our last visit to Princeville, Kauai, was at the Westin, a few years ago, so our standards were a bit high due to that stay. While we obviously gave up some amenities staying at a vacation rental by owner versus a hotel chain (the daily cleaning service), I have to say, that our stay at this property exceeded our expectations! This unit was beautifully updated and appointed, and it was very comfortable, and a pleasure to stay in! Everything was clean and well equipped, and we even found that the staff went to great lengths when we needed something extra-giving us the use of a couple of extra beach chairs to use for the week, for our party of four, to supplement the two that were provided. The unit came with a small cooler, four beach towels, and a a sweet drink mixer which came in very handy! Overall, I would say that the description of the unit was pretty much spot on (pictures on the website are very accurate), but included these extras, which was a pleasant surprise!
Shana did a terrific job of recommending places to see, and things to do on the island, and each of her recommendations was outstanding! She even helped out with our reservations and tried to help us make our stay as enjoyable as possible-very personable, and graciously accommodating-thanks, Shana! We definitely recommend this unit for your next stay in beautiful Kauai!
