Well appointed kitchen. Bed and linens comfy. Beach chairs, lots of towels and swim items. Just an A+ stay for nine days. Highly rated! PS Internet great!

AC Villa in Princeville, hotel in Kapaa

AC Villa in Princeville is located in Princeville, just a 16-minute walk from Sea Lodge Beach and 1.5 miles from Hideaway Beach.

I really enjoyed the nice, and thank goodness, AC condo. It is upstairs but we were ok with that. Beautiful u/s Patio to have coffee, tea etc. It is close to market 5 min (if you stay in Princeville you have to drive everywhere). Very nicely equipped kitchen. This is not a fancy place- which we liked. And three large bedrooms WITH three bathrooms- definitely a score. Hanelei is down the hill. There is a cool local bar in the same shopping center as the market- we went twice.

Kapa'a Sands 09, hotel in Kapaa

Kapa'a Sands 09 provides beachfront accommodations in Kapaa. The property is around 9.1 miles from Wailua Falls, 2.4 miles from Opaekaa Falls and 7.3 miles from Nawiliwili Park.

The apartment was a great size and very clean and the decor was perfect. It was in a great location and we could get to all parts of the island within 40 minutes or so. The apartment was close to Kappa which had good restaurants and shopping and everything you needed but was nice and quiet and away from major streets and noise. The sound of the waves were spectacular and the bed nice and comfortable! We had everything we needed in the apartment including cooler bags, beach chairs and lots of towels.

    Ideal location on the beach. Many restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. The town of Kapaa offers also many options at a 5 mins drive. Located on the east coast, it’s a very good base to explore the island (north shore is 30 mins drive, the canyon is at an hour drive). The pool and the yoga classes are very nice !
