Princeville House

As previously posted, we have moved to Princeville, Kauai, Hawaii (north shore) for four months. We still have our house with most of our stuff in Kalaheo, Kauai, Hawaii (south shore). RCM rented us a partially furnished house, so we brought what we needed. The house is very nice, 2 bedrooms (but they are seriously huge bedrooms), 3 bathrooms, 2 car garage. The best part is that the house is right on the sixth hole of the Princeville golf course.

DAD, you know this picture is for you. View of the sixth hole/ocean off the back patio. Yes, we have already found golf balls in the yard.

The best part about this house is the master shower. That shower head is HUGE. Weirdest part about this house, the bidet and urinal in the master bath. Yes, you read that right. I cannot give a full report as I am not yet brave enough to try the bidet. However, Rusty reported that he doesn't believe the cleanliness is adequate and will never trust the bidet alone. As for the urinal, I parked the laundry basket squarely in front of it and we have not had any issues.

We really like Princeville, beside feeling isolated by an 1 1/2 hour drive from all the people we know. Princeville is kind of a funny town, if you can even call it that. It is one three mile street off the main highway that dead ends at the St. Regis Princeville hotel (which is where Rusty is remodeling their fine dining restaurant). There are streets off to the right and left of this 3 mile road but they don't go very far. When you come in off the main highway there are fancy waterfalls including a 20 foot fountain and lush manicured vegatation. It makes you wonder, is this Stepford and will I see all the women wearing skirts with perfect hair and nails? All along the 3 mile road there is a walking/biking path. Immediately on the left there is a playground for the kids and the Princeville library and further to the left is a shopping center with a grocery store. We are on the first road to the right. We have to have a gate opener to get through the gate that blocks the street our house is on. The gate is kind of a joke, though, because it is only closed at night, and after it closes you can get through a little opening on foot and if you really wanted to, you could walk inside, trip the exit gate and drive in that way. Maybe it makes people feel important or something. I am pleased to report that I have not yet met anyone in a stepford uniform and we are really enjoying the change.
