The night skies in Hawaii have always been a treat for me as there is just way too much light pollution at home to see anything of note, but even more so this year as this unit provides a clear and unobstructed view of the north and northeast night sky from the lanei with no local lighting to spoil it. Indeed, the week of my stay, Pleiades, the entire Orion's constellation (including the the Orion Nebula!) and Taurus were visible with the naked eye. In fact, the skies were so dark that I was able to take legible pictures of it all with my cell phone which is completely unheard of. Jupiter and Mars were also present the entire week and being able to stare at it all for as long as I wanted two steps from the door wall was a gift from the Universe that I will never forget. As far as the area, there are restaurants and shops aplenty in the immediate Princeville vicinity, and even more in nearby Hanalei. Kapa'a is only 30 minutes away and is loaded with shops and restaurants and I made that drive multiple times during my time there without issue. There is also a path along the waterfront there and you can rent a bike or walk it until your heart is content...or your feet hurt, whichever comes first. lol All in all, Kauai did not disappoint and this condo with its amazing views of the ocean and Earth's wonderful nighttime sky was the star of the show. Book it now, thank me later.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the condo. You really can’t beat the views. The condo has a nice breeze when the windows are open. Everything we needed for our stay was provided (beach supplies, kitchen supplies, etc) Nice location, near beaches and restaurants and stores. Linda the owner was responsive and checked in to see how we were doing. Recommend staying here:)

It is all about the view!

Hard to put into words just how perfect everything was, but suffice to say that, even through an island-wide power outage, D3 was the place to be. Island Heat Wave? Never noticed it with the breeze. Nenes at the door every morning? They felt like family. And the lushest, most vibrant bluff imaginable. Seriously...we were so happy to begin and end our days in a modest room that doesn't have to brag...the views are just that good.

My wife and I stayed here while on Kaua’i for our anniversary this year. We have been to the islands several times, and this place is by far the best on the island. It’s clean, comfortable, and the views! WOW, the views. Best sunrise in all of Hawai’i. Hands down. Not to mention that Linda is incredibly responsive and makes sure that everything is covered. We will absolutely stay here again when visiting Kaua’i.

The condo is well furnished, cozy and has beautiful views of the ocean. We enjoyed our stay there.

Our stay here was lovely. We lucked into mainly good weather so coukd enjoy activities such as kayaking at Hanalei and snorkelling at tunnels. The condo was well equipped and we made two great fish dinners at home. Sunrise one an and a magnificent sunset on one evening from the other side of cliff were highlights. Highly recommend.

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with 10 nights in Princeville. Our last time on the island was 9 years ago, and I expected to spend more time walking the beach at Hanalei Bay and along the trails by the golf course. But we ended up staying "home" alot more to enjoy that view across Anini Bay over to the Kilauea Lighthouse. And even though it was the very end of the humpback whale season, we did see them breaching on two occasions! The NaPali Coast tour out of Hanalei Bay with NaPali Catamaran was a highlight of the trip. Snorkeling at Tunnels on the way back reminded me of Hanauma Bay on Oahu 24 years ago -- before overuse impacted the coral there. We didn't venture down to Sea Lodge Beach as the trail was VERY muddy. One evening we watched a rescue helicopter airlift a gentleman from the beach who had fallen 15 feet and broke his leg, so be careful! We loved the little alcove with windows on both sides to sit and enjoy the view when it was too windy or wet to sit outside. Linda was great and very prompt in responding to messages. We WILL be back, maybe to celebrate 45 years -- or sooner if possible!
