We absolutely loved our stay here for my spouse and I’s north side leg of our Kauai trip. It was a perfect home base, close to restaurants and walking distance to Hideaway beach and Queen’s Bath, which was one of most spectacular places I have ever seen. Parking anywhere on the north side is very limited so we were grateful we could walk to some of these places! The condo itself had everything we needed and coming back to AC after a hot day at the beach was amazing! I have no complaints and would 100% stay here again!

We had such an amazing stay at this location - it was cozy and modern and had everything we needed and more! The apartment has actually been remodeled, and as of this review (Sept 2024) looks even nicer than the pictures. The location is awesome and we will remember mornings and evenings at the balcony for a long time.
Here are some things I wondered about before our stay:
-Oil, salt, and other spices were available
-The kitchen is fully stocked, including tupperware and ziploc bags
-There's plenty of shampoo, conditioner, and soap
-There's a drip coffee machine and there was a couple of day's worth of coffee provided
-Laundry pods were provided for 2 loads
-Beach gear included several nice Tommy Bahamas chairs and an umbrella
-There are 2 snorkeling sets, although if you are planning on snorkeling a lot, I would bring/purchase my own
Definitely recommend staying here!

We loved staying at North Shore Bungalow in Princeville! It was located in a perfect location near beaches and right across from beautiful ocean views to watch the sunset. The apartment was beautiful inside and thoughtfully decorated. The lanai also had beautiful views. We really appreciated having a full kitchen, beach gear and laundry. We would definitely stay again!

We loved staying in this well stocked condo for our exploration of the north coast. Close to hideaway beach and walking distance to queens bath, we found the apartment to be comfortable, super clean, and stocked with all needed essentials and more. We loved mornings on the patio, looking over the jungle and watching the birds. Highly recommended for your Kauai trip!

We had the best time at the north shore bungalow. Perfect location, everything you could want inside the home for a week long vacation, very comfortable accommodations, and a very responsive and wonderful host. Hope to come back some day.

We were informed by Daniel of a leak in the condo the day before our arrival that required us to leave a couple of days early. Normally it would have required immediate attention to fix, but he was kind enough to delay the work for several days so we had time to find another place to stay our last couple of days. Not only that, he fully refunded the cost of our stay and was very apologetic.
We were sad we couldn't stay there the entire time only because it was a perfect place for us. The view was awesome, the AC worked great and it was within walking distance to Queen's Bath and Hideaway Beach, both of which are notorious for parking difficulties.
We would not hesitate to stay here the next time we're back! Thank you, Daniel!

We stayed here to attend our friends’ wedding and had the best time. This was the ideal place for us to stay, so clean, had proper kitchen ware, as well as beach gear: boogie boards, a cooler, umbrella… even an office desk for me to get work done at night. The backdrop is gorgeous, and the loft space was fun for my son to climb up into for bedtime. Thanks so much, we love Kauai and we will be back!

Liked the location: close to 1 Hotel for food and spa. Hideaway Beach is nearby if you want to do the hike downhill! Nice walk to the Farmers market and town center for food and groceries.
Did NOT like the old furniture, mattress and pillows. Place could use an update. Carpet (! Ick). Refrigerator was dirty inside and out. Overhead fans not cleaned in ages (!).
Owner should pay a bit more attention to the property.
Overall I would give it 3 stars.

Lovely studio with deck that features your own seemingly private jungle - no need to close the drapes! Super private with full on jungle /bird / mountain vistas for days and the sunrises EPIC. Comfy bed and slept like a rock. AC helped so much with being able to feel comfortable inside if needed- though most of the time just having screen door open was perfect!

The studio was a cute, well stocked apartment. Perfect for 2 people. We slept with the lanai door open to hear the birds in the morning. A very quick walk to one of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll see, anywhere. Perfect for a couple nights.

Michael thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality. You helped us when we had some extra days. Your homes were amazing and by far the best stays we had in our vacation.
Thank you so much for making this trip a memorable one. Kauai stole our hearts and we are filled with joy in all our memories we took with us.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location was extremely ideal. It was magical to wake up early and sip coffee to the sound of birds in the forest just outside the window, and then run or walk down to the beach. We’re avid runners and walkers, so we loved being able to walk or run into Princeville to grab groceries or get a shaved ice. The property manager was so kind and responsive. It was also amazing to have a kind bed. We slept so well. I can’t recommend this spot enough. If we come back to Kauai, we’ll definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect property for us. We ate breakfast looking out at blooming trees and singing birds and watched the sunset from the balcony. The house had everything we needed and more and when we had a wifi issue, the owner was very quick to help us. Plus we were very close to a hidden beach where we snorkeled and saw green sea turtles every day. Did I mention that beach chairs and snorkel gear were provided? We hope to be back soon!

My husband and I stayed here for a week. As soon as we walked in, I immediately thought it was way better in person than it looked in the pictures. The wifi password pointed out that it was like being in a treehouse. It definitely has that vibe. We could see the top of the napali coast from the lanai. All the lush tropical plants/forest with the birds chirping was lovely as well. A great view to wake up to each morning. The bed was really comfy as well. Parking was weird so if you hate walking that might bug you. We were in paradise, so it was hard for me to be that annoyed about it. But if youre an older person, it might not be for you. Getting to the apartment after 8, left us with very few permit spots to park in, and sometimes required us to walk up a steep hill to get there. All in all, I highly recommend. Beautiful property!

I have enjoyed my stay at this studio. I’ve stayed here before and I’ve always been very pleased with the unit. It’s a great location, waking up to that view every morning was a slice of heaven. To hear the birds singing, the roosters crowing, the bullfrogs, best sounds on earth. The studio was enough space for a single person & had everything I needed & more. Check in and check out process was very easy. I will definitely return in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed this condo for many reasons. The location was safe and within a lovely community. The lanai is long, has amazing views and fun animal visitors to see and photograph! Daniel generously provides snorkeling gear, beach chairs, towels and coolers. In addition, there are multiple sauces, spices and even plastic Ziploc bags of various sizes which were are greatly appreciated! We loved the lavender shampoo/conditioner & body lotion! Check in was easy and flawless! We highly recommend this condo! Mahalo Daniel!

Location, location, location. Couldn't ask for a better spot. From the view of the mountains from the lanai to viewpoints, beaches and walks/hikes within walking distance or a short drive, the studio was right where we needed to be. The host's "guidebook" in the studio was quite helpful. Parking was a bit difficult on our first day due to service trucks taking up spots, but then it wasn't a problem the rest of the stay. Host was responsive.

This rental is set, in my opinion in one of the most Beautiful places on the island. It is a 5 mins walk to my favorite beach “hideaways” and less then 10 mins walking distance from may favorite resort on all the islands.

The area was very nice. We had a lovely stay in the condo. The bed was cozy and the room was clean.
The only downsides were one of the snorkle was broken, and I couldnt use it with my daughter. The other was there were movies but the dvd was broken. Small area to cook, but worked great for the 2 of us. The view is spectacular! We lived waking up to the various birds and residential rooster. Fantastic location. We would stay here again.

The area the condo was located in was beautiful. The condo itself had a weird smell, the carpets and tile were very worn and old, the air condition did not work the screen door was rip and I saw a roach in the bathroom. Nice development, the condo needs updating for sure.

Condo was easy to access and has all the amenities for a couple to enjoy some quality time. Bed was comfortable (Pillows just "ok"), kitchen well-equipped and they had beach chairs/towels/umbrellas. The description accurately describes that the bed is in a loft. In hindsight, that was the only negative. We had an enjoyable time and may choose to stay there again. Owner was very friendly and easy to get in touch with.

We had just over a week here and had a great time. The lanai backs onto a strip of forest which is alive with birds in the morning. The place is a 5 minute walk from a viewpoint, food and drinks which was perfect.
The unit itself was clean and tidy and very well equipped, we'd definitely stay here again.

We had the best stay here. The place was so clean and we had absolutely everything we needed. It felt so good to come home to this condo every day and relax on the lanai. Also, the bed was super comfortable which is rare for home stays. We’ll be back! Thank you to the hosts for everything they did to make this stay what it was.

Had an amazing stay here with my wife for a week in paradise. This property is at a terrific location, steps away from an ocean lookout, walking path, and some small secluded beaches. The lush garden and mountain views from the bungalow itself are also a treasure. Wonderfully decorated, clean, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay on the north side of Kauai. There was some construction/repairs going on with the building, but the property manager was super helpful and we didn't have any issues.
The key question of any review is "would you stay here again?" Answer: absolutely!

What we were particularly grateful for was the walkability of this place. Just ten minutes away is the 1 Hotel where you can have a nice dinner, drinks, and an unbeatable view of Hanalei Bay. There's also Hideaway Beach, another short walk from the property with wonderful snorkeling!
My only complaint about this place is parking. The "permit-only" rule is somewhat complicated. You're only allowed to park in designated spots and there were several times where we would come back at the end of the day, only to find that all the spots were taken by people without permits, leaving us with no parking option. It was a little stressful and confusing at times.
Besides that, I highly recommend this place to stay and Martie was a wonderful and communicative host.

We loved the studio, it is very accurately described online. The views from the balcony are awesome, I couldn’t wait to look each morning to see what the mountains looked like. Also a very short walk to amazing lookout over the ocean and Hanalei bay. Very close to many shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and hope to return, probably the best deal on the north side!! Thanks again.
