Property Location:
This property is located at The Plantation at Princeville, one of the newest condominium projects in the Princeville resort community. The property is approximately 28 miles from Lihue airport on the north shore of Kauai. This is an excellent location to use as a home base on the north shore and is within 10 minutes from Hanalei and approximately 25 minutes from Ha'ena and the base of the Napali coast hiking trails. You will find convenient access to beaches less than one mile away from the condo including Anini and Hidewayâs beach. The 1 Hotel Hanalie Bay resort (previously known as St. Regis) is located approximately 1 mile from The Plantation at Princeville and is an excellent location to grab a drink and watch the sun set over Bali Hai (currently under construction so the restaurant is not open). The Princeville shopping center is also less than a mile away where you will find a grocery store and several shops and restaurants. If you have small children you will find a community park and outdoor fitness equipment in the Princeville resort community just steps away from the Princeville shopping center. The community also has a jogging path which can be accessed just across the street from The Plantation at Princeville complex.

This luxury property is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom condominium and is a second floor unit with a lanai. This particular unit is located onthe exterior loop of The Plantation at Princeville and overlooks greenery and has a very small ocean view.

The main living space opens onto a spacious lanai with comfortable patio furniture that can accommodate 8 guests. The main living area has air conditioning but honestly we prefer to turn on the ceiling fans and open all of the windows and take in the trade winds Hawaii is so famous for. Our condo has local phone service, basic cable television, Wi-Fi, high speed internet (we cannot guarantee connection as we are at the mercy of our internet provider, but the connection has been great thus far). You will also have the use of the garage and one parking space just outside the garage.

Recreation
Where do I start, there are so many wonderful things to do while on Kauaiâs north shore. I have named a few of our favorite things to do below:
Beaches - we absolutely love Hanalei Bay for the surfing and boogie boarding! Anini beach is fun for shell searching, we usually take the hiking trail (access near the Westin in Princeville). The hike is a bit steep at times so if you are not up for that you can always drive. Tunnels beach is in Ha'ena near the end of the road and is a 20 minute drive, this beach has great snorkeling and has a great view of Bali Hai. Hidewayâs beach is also wonderful and is located about a mile away from the house, parking is limited, and there is a hike involved but once there you will enjoy this small secluded spot. Hiking - we love the Napali coast hike (Hanakapiai Falls), Stone Damn (Kilauea), Ho'opi'i Falls (Kapaa), Queens Bath (closed during winter months due to dangerous conditions), and Sleeping Giant (West of Wailua). For Napali Coast, you will find the trailhead at the end of the Kuhio highway (hwy 56) in Ha'ena state park (reservations required). Golf - Princeville is home to the Prince course and also the Makai golf club (across the street from The Plantation). Spa - spa treatments are plentiful at the Westin and 1 Hanalei Bay Resort (currently closed), both located within one mile of the plantation. Other - you may also consider a helicopter tour, boat tour, snorkeling tour, scuba diving, biking, horseback riding or renting a kayak/stand up paddle board. Our favorite excursion has been a small power boat or catamaran all day snorkel tour of the Na'pali Coast. Another fun excursion is tubing the irrigation tunnels through Kauai Backcountry Adventures!

âȘHanalei Bread Company (Hanalei) - Great for breakfast, lunch and people watching

Grocery Shopping:
Costco- we also like to cook at home so we always stock up on essentials upon arrival. The Kauai
Costco is about 10 minutes from the Lihue airport in the opposite direction so we usually stop in on our way to the condo after landing at the airport. Foodland - located in the Princeville shopping center, approximately one mile from the condo, you can pick up grocery items for your stay. Lappert's ice cream - grab yourself a sweet treat or treat the kids. Lappert's is located in the Princeville shopping center.
The Dolphin fish market (Hanalei) - great fresh fish, poke and suchi (also have a restaurant).
