Princeville Gem, Walk to Beaches, Shopping/Dining

This place definitely has potential. The check in process, super smooth. The location was great. Communication was great with the owner since we had to contact them about the tub not filling up. Things went downhill when we noticed how filthy the place was. We had messaged the host because the tub did not fill. I did mention the dirty areas( dirty coasters, dirty silverware, dirty drawers). She offered to send over a maid but i didnt want to have a maid and plumber over since the tub had to be fix so we did tidy up ourselves. Instead i advise the owner to relay the message to her maid so they could focus on cleaning better . During our stay after declining the maid, we also found old dirty food wrapper from burger king( not ours) near the couch. We also found a disgusting old green contact in the bathroom sink( not ours) this place has potential if they hire a new maid as the location is amazing. Lots of food and shopping near by as well as the farmers market. Another downside is the bathroom window does shut either. So we could hear the neighbors talking as it near there patio. Some talked late at night , while using the bathroom/showering etc.

The condo was awesome! Great location-quite neighborhood. It’s a fun place for kids with their own beds in the loft and close to the pool. It was clean and had everything we needed! Lots of snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards etc. had everything we needed to cook a meal or wash clothes. Definitely would stay here again!

We had an easy no contact check in. When walking in, we were hit with a nauseating smell of paint or varnish and all the windows open. It would be confirmed that a new wood table was the source. Most of the staging from the Vrbo booking pictures were removed when we arrived so it did not feel very homely. Some curtains had mold on them, some other areas of the property were not very clean as well. It was not what we were expecting when staying for our honeymoon. I attempted to contact host via VRBO app immediately on check in. Then I called VRBO support who couldn’t make contact either. At that point it was 8pm and we decided to stay the night, thinking maybe it would air out and the smell would leave. It was nauseating the whole night and into the next day. We ventured out in the morning to explore the town and when we returned at noon the smell was still there so we checked out early and booked somewhere else.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place to stay on north shore. Very clean. Good view of pool area and well kept grounds. A little odd that you can't grill past 8:30 pm. Rental team was OUTSTANDING to work with. I really appreciate their quick communication and service.
