About the host
Hosted by Property Owner
We purchased these two units in 2013 and immediately realized this was a very "special place". We remodeled and upgraded both units at the same time. We have just started advertising this "owner's Unit" on VRBO# 854197 as of May 2016, but have many satisfied guests staying in both of our units since 2014. See the reviews posted on our Guest Unit VRBO # 507795. We have guests who return year after year and always request this “Owner’s Unit” We visit this location ourselves 2-3 times a year with our own family and friends and continue to maintain and improve the units.
Why they chose this property
The Hawaiian Princess is a very popular year round destination. Our units in the Hawaiian Princess have fabulous views of the ocean, beach and sunsets. This unit is recently, remodeled, upgraded, with the attention to all the details. The unit is clean, well maintained, and our personal management of these units has added to our success. We have tried to make this your "home away from home". We want to share this piece of paradise with each of you!
What makes this property unique
As our" Owner's Unit" this unit has two unique upgrades. The first upgrade is mirrors along the entire wall in the living room. The mirrors give the illusion of a larger space and the offers of two different ocean views. ( one view is of course a reflection). The second upgrade is that the glass wall and sliding doors have actually been "pushed out" toward the ocean actually increasing the inside space. This also offers a more defined dining space while keeping the same spectacular views of the ocean, beach, and sunsets. This additional space allows for an upgraded glass top and wicker dining table and chairs. Once our guests have had the opportunity to stay in this unit, they ask to reserve it year after year.
