This is a very nice place and a good value in the off-season. The photographs in the listing are not captioned and can make you feel like the place has a view of the water, but it does not. This did not bother me though, because the condo is so nice and is really well appointed. There is a mountain view out the master bath, but the rest of the views are of nice landscaping and other condos. There is excellent AC, but we didn’t use it much at all, the ceiling fans were plenty. There is a convenient garage to park in with electric opener. Check-in is super easy with just a code on the door to get in. The Internet connection on the TV would come and go, but again, no big deal – it seems like that happens everywhere I’ve been in Hawaii so far. There was only one moment when I started to question my decision to book this place, and that was on the third to the last day when a variety of ant called, “Little Yellow Ants” came out of the headboard of the bed and started crawling around the bed. It freaked me out at the time, but I have to say that the Vacasa rental management company handled the situation professionally. I called them and they sent out their lead cleaning person and she changed the bedding and took care of the ant problem. I do expect bugs and geckos everywhere I go in Hawaii, I just didn’t expect them to come from the headboard of my bed. But no ants returned and the situation was handled so nicely that I went back to giving the place 5 stars. I wish I had booked this place for my entire stay on Kauai, but unfortunately I had booked the remainder of my visit in a condo in Poipu that cost more and wasn’t even a quarter as nice. I think I got pretty lucky to have found Plantations at Princeville #1312 . It’s an excellent choice and the rental managers really have your back.
