Is the resort offering shuttle service to the One Hotel regularly or upon request?

There's no longer any shuttle service to the hotel. That ended once Starwood sold the property to Starwood Capital (separate company, owners of the 1Hotel brand), and construction began. Additionally, there are no longer beach chair privileges in the sand available through 1Hotel, but you can certainly valet park your car, enjoy the public beach with your own chairs and dine there (the food is pretty good, albeit pricey).

Thank you for the update. We have been using the beach during construction phase and were aware of the end of the relationship. However we were visiting with a former member of the WP concierge staff last fall who believed that shuttling timeshare guests over to the "1" to be dropped off was under consideration. Obviously, the idea went no further.
So as far as you know, the shuttle is available to take folks to the nearby Foodland but to no other location? Thanks again!

Parking is I believe $50 pricey for a beach visit.

I agree! When we visited in April, we could get the valet parking fee waived for a minimum spend at any of the restaurants; maybe $100? may be worth a call to ask if they're still offering that.

I wasn't aware they were even offering a shuttle to the Princeville Center (Foodland).

During our last stay in January-February 2023, they would shuttle guests to the grocery store upon request.
But that was yesterday, and yesterday‘s………

There was no shuttle in July, but a discount card and limited ability to use part of their beach. We got breakfast and just tipped valet.
