My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this compact condo! Rick has clearly gone to great lengths to provide everything vacationers could need from a small cooler chest for outings to a complete assortment of shower products and ample back up of tp and paper towels. The small kitchen set up was just right for prepping meals to cook on the grill by the pool. Overall great stay and we would book this unit again!

I had a great 5-night stay at this property. The host was very accommodating and I could tell that they put in a lot of thought to providing a comfortable stay for their guests. I had everything I could need and more. I really appreciated the beach chairs! Plus, it was in a great location! I would definitely consider staying here again if I return to Kauai.

We had an amazing stay and found the unit to hold everything we were looking for. We like to cook our meals so it was wonderful finding an affordable place to stay that had everything we needed to cook.
We couldn’t get the TV to work but not a major concern.
Highly recommend for couples or solo travelers.

This property was perfect for our 7 day getaway as a base to explore the entire island. Cleanliness was a 10/10. I slept like a baby in the bed. Us Texans love our AC, but the amount of fans and windows provided made the room feel very comfortable. Very quiet and beautiful property grounds as well. For the price, you will not find a better place to stay in Princeville. Save your time shopping around. We will be back!

Our first time to Kauai! We are beyond happy with the condo and the host! The place has nice location in the north and was stocked with everything you could want. Very comfortable and peaceful. A perfect home base as we went out each day to explore this beautiful island! Thank you!

Rick’s place was cozy with all that we needed as a home base on Kaua’i. Great location in Princeville, with very good restaurants within reasonable driving distances. Rick even took my call at stupid early in the morning when I locked myself out of the unit and needed help finding the spare key! Sorry again, Rick!

Great location, very clean and organized place, it is obvious Rick has been doing this for years. Reserved parking spot which is not always included in condo type rentals. All the essentials are there to prepare food which helps with spending more time doing activities and saving money. We loved the place and would love to come back some time in the future.

This studio was more roomie than I expected:) It was in a great location and host really kept it clean, organized and met needs!! The stuff they had for beach activity was awesome!! Lots of fans, which i know would be helpful in hot times. I was there in Nov and it rained a lot. There are beaches both north & south so very easy to access. Easy check in process:) the hosts took pride in this space. Loved the beach themes:)

We stayed at Rick's property for 3 nights and it was perfect. He has supplied the unit with everything you might need on a short getaway.
He was quick to respond if I had any questions. It was in a good location for our purposes and I would not hesitate to book this unit again when I come back to visit the north side of the island.

We travel a lot and this was our favorite accommodation, remarkably inexpensive for what it offers. From the beginning of the booking process to checking out the host, Rick, was kind, receptive, respectful, and prompt.
The unit was furnished and decorated tastefully with local themes and had the personal touch. With the positioning of the windows and patio screen door, and multiple fans (we only used one), the inside was always cool and fresh. The back patio looked onto a wondrous green garden with a walk through it, and sunrise appears through the trees. No noise from the neighbours nor the condo complex.
Everything was thought of and included in equipment and supplies. The kitchen had complete eating sets and extras such as Tupperware and many condiments. There were two different types of cofeemakers, a large fridge, a toaster, a tea kettle, a pristine large electric skillet/pot, and a toaster oven/air fryer which made this a full kitchen except for a range/oven (not needed) which would have added a $100/day to the price. A clean easy-to-use barbecue at the pool area added to the cooking experience. We appreciated many contact numbers in case we had questions or difficulties. It is in the best location for things to do on Kauai and beach equipment is included. Princeville is a great place.
Rick clearly cares for the satisfaction of his guests. I have no doubt being a host is a passion for him, not just a business. I cannot recommend the unit, and Rick, enough.

Cute, quaint spot in Princeville. Love the quiet location and the walking path behind to the beach. It’s a real butt kicker hill, but so worth it!

Wonderful time. Thank you!

This was a great place to stay on our trip to Kauai. Beautiful area to stay in. The location was great for our travel plans, as we spent most of the time exploring the North shore. It is very close to the Princeville shopping center and a short drive to Hanalei. It also wasn’t too far from the South shore, where we made a couple day trips. The beach chairs and umbrella were a really nice touch and came in handy for our beach days. I didn’t realize that this place did not have air conditioning until we arrived, but we didn’t really need it. There were several fans that were helpful and the windows could be cracked open for air flow, along with a screen door to the back porch. Check-in and check-out was easy as well. We hope to visit Kauai again someday and would definitely consider staying here again.

Im overall very happy with this property. Things were clean and there are a good variety of kitchen appliances to be able to make food at the unit, which i loved since i was trying to stay within a budget. The location is great too, i really liked being within walking distance of a park, foodland, and anini beach. You can hear footstepts from the upstairs unit, but it wasnt bothersome. I would definitely recomment this property to anyone looking to save some money and stay in a studio style toom.
Steve J.
April 2023
This was a clean small place to stay. It was perfect for my wife and I. Good location for access to things as wanted to do, and Princeville shopping center right up the road. The only downside was no stove, only microwave and toaster oven, and directly behind the unit, where the deck is, is a major construction site that we noisy during the day. But fortunately we were out all day most days, and construction activity ceased around 5:00pm. Overall a great economical place to stay and I recommend it.

Had a really great stay at this property. Everything from check in, to amenities, to the kitchenette was greatly appreciated. Kauai is fairly expensive and it was great to make meals at home for myself. Also really appreciated the beach towels and chairs!
Would highly recommend this property for solo travellers or couples. Thanks again Rick, can’t wait to visit again.
Thomas L.

The property was close to the beach and had all the necessary beach accessories (chairs, umbrella, snorkelling kit and beach towels). The property itself was clean and perfect size for 2 people. Would recommend.
The owner was also very friendly.
A good addition to the kitchen would be a small induction plaque but otherwise everything was there.

Rick's place was exactly as advertised and perfect for a lone traveler or couple looking for some peace, rest, and location close to Hanalei and amenities in Princeville. The property is beautiful landscaped with tropical Hawaii flora, easy parking, great pool, and friendly locals that reside in the area (like Joy and Shelby). Super close to walking path, small beaches, and food options. Condo was stocked with all the kitchen amenities to cook and prepare meals and pack lunches for the beach. In addition, beach necessities such as cooler and chairs were an awesome addition and I used them everyday. Bed was amazingly conformable after a long day surfing and strolling the beach. All in all, super experience and would be delighted to stay in Rick's place again.

Perfect location to explore the north shore. Check-in process very smooth and parking very close to the apartment. Apartment has plenty of space for a couple and it’s very well maintained. We had a small problem the first night, due to a blackout which impacted the whole town, but the electric company fixed it in few hours. Overall a wonderful place the enjoy the beauty of Kauai island. Recommended!

Lovely property. Well stocked and very comfortable. We very much appreciated the snorkel gear. The back of the property opened up to a trail that led right to the beach.
Amy G.
August 2022
It's a great budget option for the north shore, located 10 mins to Hanalei and with close access to some great beaches right in the neighborhood. Aging golf condos, the course was fenced off so the lanai view is actually more private. Appreciated snorkel gear provided. You'll want to make use of all the fans (many are provided) to deal with humidity and airflow. Bed is comfy. Host provides lots of bathroom items including first aid and a great hairdryer. Many coffee makers but no coffee is provided. This was a good base, easy to get to, and it was always easy to park.

It was easy to get the keys in a little box next to the door. I entered the code that was emailed to me days before. No issues at all. Rick had a binder inside with detailed instructions for use of things and also nice suggestions of things to do in the area. This is the perfect place for couples. It was just enough room without being cramped. Nice and clean. This was actually my first VRBO and it was an excellent standard. Love the area. It's nice and close to the Na Pali Coast for hiking, Tunnels for snorkeling, and Hanalei for eating and shopping. Loved it.

This was the perfect place for my husband and I! The location is amazing, your back yard has a tree lined path with so many pretty flowers and plants, and this place had everything! Dishes, ice packs, a cooler, beach chairs and umbrellas. They also provided Many fans to help keep you cool on those warm Summer nights. We felt safe and comfortable! There was a blow dryer and shampoo and conditioner in the shower! It was a fully stocked house! Thanks for providing such a fun place!! We’ll be back!

Our stay in the condo was fabulous! The owner is Aloha in action—he provided everything we needed, and responded immediately to our emails. The condo was exceptionally clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the towels were very nice. The pool was just the right temperature and the gas BBQ came in handy. The path to beautiful, quiet Anini beach was just steps away from the back lanai. The shops and restaurants were also within walking distance. We definitely recommend choosing this condo!
Gloria V.
June 2022
We had a wonderful time staying at Rick's place. I actually think the condo looks nicer and seems larger in person than what the pictures show! Rick, the owner, is very kind and helpful and provided a ton of amenities that we didn't anticipate including beach towels and chairs, snorkeling gear, and spices and coffee in the kitchenette. Rick also left a very thorough and informative guide book for us that was helpful in planning activities. The place was very clean and the kitchenette was perfect for making simple meals. I would certainly stay here again if we were to return to Kauai.

Beautiful studio with patio for a couple or a solo traveler. Princeville is very close to beautiful Hanalei Bay. 5 min from all Restaraunt’s and shops, in a quite and very neat area right in the heart of Princeville. Rare find price and value is 10/10, definitely recommend

My partner and I stayed for 4 nights to be close to Hanalei Bay for my cousins wedding and couldn’t have had a better stay! The small but well equipped kitchen provided everything we needed to put together snacks and easy meals before our daily adventures. The home came equipped with everything we needed (and forgot to bring/couldn’t pack) to get ready for the wedding (an iron and a hair dryer!) I even read the copy of The Descendants which was amazing since some of it takes place in Hanalei Bay! Thank you so much for opening up your little slice of heaven with us. Mahalo and aloha!

Rick’s property was perfect for us during our one week stay in Kauai. The suite was clean and well equipped. The location was easy to find and within a short drive to all amenities on the north side of the island. Rick was prompt to respond to any questions and we appreciated him checking in on us during our stay. I would stay here again without a doubt.

Rick's condo (B-side) is exactly as advertised on VRBO. Its size is fine for two people, located in a very nice complex near a popular beach. Rick provides a lot of information via a notebook that outlines how everything works in the unit and includes places of interest nearby. I called Rick a couple times for clarification on minor things; he was very cordial and directly answered my queries.
I would recommend his condo to anyone looking for a clean, nice, safe studio-type property in the Princeville area!

Place is fantastic, exactly as listed. Condo is fully stocked, has everything we needed. Host was very responsive, couldn’t ask for better.
The unit doesn’t have air (as listed) and it’s not needed, wanted to notate if anyone was on the fence.
Great location! We had friends staying at the Westin, it’s an easy walk to the Westin or to Princeville shopping center. Save your money & stay here!

The room had everything I needed. Everything was very clean and check in was very simple. The place was easy to find if you follow the instructions messaged by the host. It was in a great location very close to Hanalei and not too far from the Kalalau Trail and Tunnels beach. I didn't need any of the kitchen items, but everything seemed very well stocked. I enjoyed my stay!

Loved this rental, the location and all the extras the owner provided. It was one of the best equipped VRBO’s we’ve ever stayed at. The Unit was clean and had room in which to spread out which was nice. The patio view was amazing. As long as you’re not looking for modern or luxurious, this place is perfect at a very reasonable price. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Easy walk to shops and grocery store, and right next to trail along the golf course. Fellow runners will notice that the trail is a gradual downhill in all directions, so if you run out and back….
We appreciated all the fans and the kitchenette setup with a real sink and fridge. More than one towel set per person for five days would have been nice, though.

We were very pleased with our stay. The unit was clean and efficient, and a great location, but remember there is no cooking stove or washer and dryer, and the grill at the pool needs an upgrade!

Quiet neighborhood, close to the Princeville center. This house doesn't have a full kitchen but has seriously everything you can think of needing. From beach chairs and first aid kits to wine glasses and ice packs. The owner is pleasant to deal with. Check in was perfection, we arrived late and were able to get keys from a lockbox. Would definitely stay at this condo again.

Really quiet, very few chickens here compared to anywhere else on the island.
Clean
Cute floorplan but not a lot of natural light.
Awesome TV
Close to shopping centers, chill beaches, grocery, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
No stove but nice toaster oven.
No AC but there are several fans throughout that accommodate the heat issue nicely.
Extras like after sun lotion, cooler bag, snorkel gear, pool access, two assigned parking spaces.
Beautiful area, safe and walkable.
Host was easy to communicate with and was quick to address any concerns or issues we had.
Easy lock box for keys so we didn’t have to worry about loosing them.
Would stay again based mainly on the location.
Brittany M.

Fantastic place, all the items you need for a longer term stay, hot plate, water boiler, microwave, small oven fridge, we found he rubber ware to be the most useful tool in the place.
Short drive to anini beach, short drive to haneli bay,l. Pool was great, neighborhood was clean and friendly very safe for all ages.
Would recommend this place for anyone traveling to Kauai looking to get everything they need in one place for aruably the best price on the island.
Thank you for the stay!

Rick’s property is a comfortable residence with everything you will need for a fun stay in Kauai. The back patio is relaxing with lush greenery to enjoy while having breakfast before heading out for the day. The kitchen is stocked with essential cookware. We really appreciated the snorkel gear and drying rack for our clothes. Check in and directions from the airport were easy to follow so we had a stress free time getting in after dark. We really liked being able to walk to the nearby beaches that require just a short hike in. There are restaurants, shops, and a grocery store within walking distance. There were two outdoor markets held during our stay that we could walk to as well.

Thanks for a great stay! We really enjoyed ourselves at some of the local beaches -- It felt so exclusive. Many of the nearby beaches have short hikes to them and were empty with no other visitors which made for an amazing experience. My favorites were Kauapea Beach and Sealodge Beach (within walking distance -- make sure to take the correct path). Check in was a breeze and the area was quiet and secure. We particularly enjoyed Henrietta, a name we gave to the chicken who frequents the back porch. She was there every morning to say hello - very friendly and likes grapes!
I totally recommend staying here. We were concerned about not having AC but it was no issue with the various fans turned on and windows open. We like cold temperatures to sleep and were completely comfortable all night.
