In an expensive area, this unit is a gem. Room was clean, well stocked with essentials and bed was comfortable. Location was ideal, and overall value cannot be beat.

Great support from the host along with the amenities and privacy made this the perfect getaway and home base for our first trip to Kauai and we look forward to repeating this trip next fall to continue our exploration. Thanks Mike and mahalo my friend! (Sat Farmers Market down the street was fantastic as well)

The stay at Kimberlee's "Piece of Paradise" was all we could have asked for and more. The place is just as adverstised- just spacious enough to make the stay cozy. We really enjoyed the outdoor lanai for having all of our meals and hanging out in the evenings. Having all of the beach stuff there was also incredible- we were able to pack up the beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella and quickly head out to enjoy all the nearby beaches. The hiking poles were an unexpected blessing and really came in handy on some of the tougher hikes we did! As a cherry on top, Kimberlee is an exceptional host. She lives in the suite just across from this and was incredible about checking in if we needed anything. If we come back to Kaua'i, we'll absolutely be staying here again!

Very frustrating arriving at night with no idea where to park and never got parking decal and worrying all weekend about $100 ticket. No towels but three for four day stay. No communication with owner or manager once we arrived. Very frustrating

I can’t imagine a better place to stay in the area. Clean, quiet, and close to everything you need. Morning coffee on the lanai will be missed, until my return.

We very much enjoyed our stay here at Mike’s little condo. It was very clean and equipped with everything you would need considering the space. The AC unit was a lifesaver for sure and a huge reason in why we chose this rental. However the other major deciding factor was the listing states there is a washer and dryer to which there is not a set either in the unit or on the premises. I came more prepared because I’m a woman and tend to over pack but my husband brought very little with him considering he was planning on washing what little clothing he did have. Mike was great when we brought the matter to his attention and did his very best to accommodate us. I’m only bringing it up to inform anyone else who is booking this listing specifically for the washer and dryer. Other than the washer/dryer issue the space was perfect for our needs. We were there for eight nights and never felt we had outgrown the studio condo and again the AC was amazing! Overall great place and a perfect location in the stunningly beautiful North Shore of Kauai! One tip I can share is to buy any groceries you might need from the Big Save Market in Hanalei vs. the Food Land in Princeville. You will definitely save big!

We loved our stay in this perfect condo!!! It was the best one in the entire complex, especially for privacy on the lanai! And the owners are amazing and so very kind!!

Wonderful. Didn't know that the house instructions were all on line so had a few questions, but everything went smoothly and such a beautiful location.

It was perfect. The location allowed easy access to Hanalei and Kīlauea. Plenty of space and the amenities helped save money. The Snorkel gear was GREAT. The place was very clean and the vibe was perfect. The Host was extremely responsive and helpful. Literally couldn’t have asked for a better time on the North side of Kauai thanks to the Host and their amazing place.

1. The unit that we stayed in was okay. I made a big mistake not reading the reviews. I assumed they had AC in Kauai, this unit has no AC, just loud fans to keep it bearable. 2. We arrived after dark and found the directions were wrong. My son spent at least 300 minutes hiking around the complex trying to find where 116a was located. Good way to start a trip. 3. Parking policy terrible. They give you 1 parking spot that I thought was no big deal. When we found our parking spot had a car parked there marked 116B. When we called Vacasa they said it is a shared and it's 1st come 1st served. We had to use an unmarked parking spot when not available. Those spots tend to be much further away from our unit. 4. When we 1st arrived we had a 10 digit door code. Out of the many times we used the door entry system, there was only 2 times that it worked on the 1st entry. We called and they said we may have to lift the door or move the handle around. It would sometimes require 5 or 6 tries before opening. They made 0 effort to get someone on site to fix it. 5.I was wondering why they waited so long to get me the unit information till the night before we arrived. Now I know. 6. We spent 5 nights in Maui and 5 nights in Kuaia. We had a wonderful time on both islands. The only negative was Vacasa Property Management. Will never rent a place that uses their services.

Our contact, Mike, was very prompt with responding. The room was very clean and a good base camp since we were out exploring the island most of the day. The pool area was also nice. Close to Foodland grocery store, and we found a cluster of food trucks with the the Wyndham vacation rentals, which was close enough to walk to. Only thing that would make this a smidge better, is to have some laundry facilities on site.

We had planned a 3 days stay here/ Plenty of outdoor toys,chairs, ect (we left a few extras) Inside- microwave, coffee pot frig/freezer. Cups,plates are very worn unsure if the plates are. Microwavable., Pool was great and local neighbors were friendly

The property was exactly as advertised and well appointed with everything needed for a long stay and a great day at the beach. Could use better directions to the parking spot but not that difficult to find. The proximity to many beautiful beaches on the north side of the island is a plus. Mahalo Mike!

I could not have asked for better. I was extending a work trip for a few days and had not been to Kauai before. More than happy with this property for a few days stay. The amenities were beyond expectation.

The owner of this location was truly lovely and very prompt with everything. I’m super grateful for all of her help. This was a great place to stay. I definitely recommend it! It had all the amenities. If you want to go to a place on North Shore, looking for some time alone and want access to a pool a hot tube, this is the place for you!

This property had all that we needed for a comfortable stay. Mike was very responsive when we had a couple of questions. The lanai was very private. We felt totally private.

My stay at Sandpiper 215B exceeded my expectations! Mike was a wonderful host and very helpful with clear, prompt, and accurate communication. The property had everything I needed and nothing I didn’t. The linens, towels, and beach equipment was all like brand new and the place was spotless! I have stayed at many different sized properties in the Princeville area with a wide range of amenities and this was hands down my favorite! Clean, cool, safe, easy access and everything was in perfect working condition which says a lot for a rental property ! It seemed as if I was staying in somebody’s personal property since it was so well taken care of. The only reason I wouldn’t want to spread the word of excellence and recommend it is because I wouldn’t want it to already be booked when I want to come back!

Beautiful house, stunning view, but be careful because just in front of the house there is a street with a lot of traffic all day long.

This island is truly paradise, and as I told the host Kimberlee we would have loved to stay....forever...in this perfect condo. Every detail was satisfied, including cleanliness, comfort, beach fun, and even some basic kitchen neccessities. The location was amazing on the iconic North Shore and we enjoyed the beautiful beaches, Hanalei restaurants and shops, and farmer's markets. Kimberlee was the best host- we even had a tropical storm issue while we were there and she was so helpful and responsive, supporting us every step of the way to make potential travel plan changes. The outside porch was our favorite part of the unit. We will most certainly be back.

Amazing little place that was perfect for our family. Very clean, quiet and great to have laundry and use of beach supplies! Owner/manager was very responsive for any questions. Thank you only wish we could have stayed longer!

This place was great!! Had so much room. I would definitely stay here again. I have come in the winter it wasn’t as humid. Just something to keep in mind , during the day it does get pretty hot in the rooms. I don’t think this would be so much an issue winter months since I personally felt it wasn’t as hot and humid. I loved that the condo had chairs and coolers and the loft was amazing for two boys! Jim was great!! Answered all of our questions!!

This condo was super clean and welcoming, which made for great first impressions. The unit had everything we needed, including a life-saving sewing kit, reusable shopping bags, and an informational beach guide. Would love to stay here again if (hopefully when) we come back to the Island.

Everything needed for the stay was provided at the condo. The host was extremely helpful when needed and the neighborhood was very quiet and quaint. Parking right in the front of the unit and couldn't have asked for more. Extremely clean and pleasant would definitely stay again. Aloha and mahalo

The condo was everything we needed. Walking distance to the marketplace. Lovely grounds & super comfy bed. We knew we wouldn’t be cooking, so the lack of a kitchen did not impact us. We will definitely stay here again.

We spent a week in this lovely studio apartment in Princeveille. The apartment was closely located to Hanelei and it was easy to travel to areas such as Lithue airport. The apartment was nicely furnished with rattan furniture. We ate our meals out on the private lanai. There is also a pool within the neighborhood, a grocery store, golf course and beaches within walking distance. Kimberlee was responsive if we had any questions about the area. Overall, a great experience!!

Nicely equipped--water filtering pitcher & electric kettle for tea were especially nice to have. A/C in the bedroom for warmer nights greatly appreciated. Nice assortment of beach toys. Parking spot under a shady tree was a bonus.

Great location to stay in the area. Property was quiet, and comfortable, with groceries, etc. a fairly short drive away. Lots of beaches and places to explore close by. I enjoyed just walking around the neighborhood to take in the beautiful views in the area. I only wish there had been a few more amenities in the condo, such as an ice cube tray, salt and pepper (we bought some and left it there), microwaveable dishes and items you could bbq with. I have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this one had the least for these kinds of items. There wasn’t much for options to cook your own food other than a microwave (with no microwaveable plates to use) or the communal bbq by the pool (I wasn’t aware that the bbq was by the pool as it wasn’t clear in the description). Even a toaster or a hot plate would have been useful. Ended up buying some tinfoil pans I could use to bbq breakfast with, as there also wasn’t anything available to use in the condo (they cost almost twelve dollars and I left one there). For the cost of eating in Hawaii, it would have been great to have more options for preparing our own food.

This is the perfect location for enjoying the north shore. Was nice to have a pool and jacuzzi to enjoy at the end of the night as well! Mike is very responsive and accommodating- would definitely stay here again!

Everything was extremely clean! The space was fun and had character. It is in a wonderful part of the island, and left us wishing we had stayed longer!

Super clean, has everything you need to enjoy your stay on one of the most beautiful islands that Hawaii has to offer! Located right next to a foodland and only 15-20 minutes from Hanalei Bay! Mike was also incredibly communicative. Thank you again!

Our stay was everything we were looking for and more. From booking to checking out the process was seamless. Kimberlee was very responsive and has a heart of gold. From the minute you open the door you can tell the amount of love put into this beauty. The decor was perfectly fit for Hawaii. The comfort of the room was on point. Make sure you take out time to sit on the beautiful patio and enjoy the breeze. As far as "things you might need" she had it all, including beach gear, kitchen items, and a fridge and freezer which we definitely used. The cleanliness of the property was 5 stars! We felt comfortable every moment we were there. This property topped off our honeymoon experience. We would recommend our friends and family to stay here.

We stayed here for ten days. Wonderful trip. We rented e-bikes from paradise bikes and just stayed local (Princeville, Hanalei, Hanea SP). Hit the pool and hot tub every day. Lots of kids, which I don’t mind. We were blessed with great weather. The condo is fan cooled. Would have been uncomfortable if it had been any hotter, but we were okay in a cool July.

August 2024

It was perfect! The rental was small but incredibly comfortable and cozy. Every inch was thoughtfully designed, and it was spotless. Even though it was tiny, it had everything we needed to relax after a day of sightseeing. Overall, we had a fantastic experience!

The check-in was super easy and when I had questions they were answered almost immediately. The condo itself is very spacious and it was clean. In the kitchen we could find everything we needed and more. Can definitely recommend a stay there.

The property is beautiful super clean The room however for the price that we paid definitely not worth it all the remotes didnt have batteries besides one one of the fans didnt work very well. The vents really were not working couldn't open or close them they were stuck as they were. Parking was not the best die ti locals living on the same property.
Amalia R.

The pictures don't do the property justice. The bed was super comfy, the towels soft and place was small but cozy. Everything you would need for 2 people. It is on the second floor but super quiet. Kimberlee is a great responsive host!

Staying here definitely enhanced our visit. This is a well maintained property with a host who actually cares. It was clean, comfortable, and in perfect proximity to all the best spots on the North Shore. This host goes above and beyond to provide assistance. We couldn’t have asked for better.

Overall wonderful place to stay. Very clean and in a safe neighborhood. Short drive to all Princeville and Hanalei attractions. Communications with Property Manager were quick and efficient. No problems checking in with clear instructions for our late arrival. No A/C however did not bother us as there were stand up fans that kept us cool at night. Cooking ware, silverware, etc...in kitchen good quality (compared to other places we have stayed). Only thing that we wanted that wasn't available in the kitchen during our stay was a lemon squeezer. However we picked one up at the supermarket during our stay. We were there for 12 days. The only thing about our stay that wasn't ideal was that the apartment is located on a corner and there is early morning (very loud) traffic each morning. The fans weren't loud enough to drown out the noise so I had to turn on my noise cancelling APP to avoid being woken up at 6am-ish when the traffic started. My husband just put in ear plugs and slept comfortably. I would recommend to owners/property manager to have a noise cancelling machine in bedroom or louder fans to make the stay more enjoyable. The noise wasn't a surprise as other guests had mentioned it so we were prepared and not disappointed in our stay. Thank you for a great visit to one of our favorite places in the world!!!

July 2024

Great property location. Conveniently close to food land grocery store and restaurants that are about a 5 minute drive. Condo was clean and spacious . Had essentials for our stay. Mike our host was extremely kind, hospitable and responded to texts quickly. Would highly recommend staying here.
