This place is wonderful. Beautiful modern home, quiet end of cul-de-sac, and SPECTACULAR views of the ocean/waves. Every room has great ocean views. Back patio is a great place to sit and enjoy the ocean. Yen was an exceptional host. She met us when we arrived, and walked the home with us, explaining amenities, and as well sent us several restaurant options. And she followed up with us a couple of times during our stay to make sure all was well. Cannot say enough about how well she took care of us. Highly recommend this home as the destination in Princeville!
