The unit was tolerable though disappointing. It is clear that the bare minimum was done to make this a short term rental. For silverware there was only 1 of each utensil. The foldout couch was broken so the seat was slanted making it hard to sit on. The television did not work despite much work right the wiring and the remote. The blinds had mold and the top surfaces had not been wiped or dusted. For a low priced option we didn’t expect much, but did expect the basics of cleanliness. This is typical, though, with Vacasa run properties. We love VRBO but this is the type of place that gives short term rentals a bad reputation. This place would be good for 1-2 people in young 20’s or younger, but if you want any sense of comfort spend a bit more and avoid this place.

There is no AC so ventilation is windows an slated wall panels the units are right on top of on another so your neighbours hear you and you hear the neighbours. The ceiling is thin so the upstairs neighbours sound like elephants stomping around.We saw the pictures and the extra room and the fact it said twin bed that we figured that room was included. It was not part of the apartment they split that off as a separate rental. Instead, the second bed was a full size sofa bed that was stinky and had a bar in the center of your back. There were no spare sheets for it. The kitchen was bla and the fridge looks horrible the whole front is speckled with rust. It looked like a baby projectile vomited all over it. There are windows in the bathroom that give your neighbours upstairs a show every time you go to the bathroom, we put towels up to block it. There is also mold…. And there were roaches but to their “credit “there are roach traps all over so at least they are trying to get rid of them. It is very discouraging at night you see all kind of insects walking around. Finally, they have all sorts of warnings to leave the two parking pass … Stay away from Vacasa their customer service is just playing games sending back and forth nonsense messages ! they have 287 pages of complaints on BBB

We loved the access to the pool and hot tub especially after long day of hiking

Property was well maintained with all amenities you might need. Some inconvenience not being provided more than one roll of toilet paper, and some of the neighbors were interesting.

Very clean and efficient.
It only had a tiny refrigerator, no ice making or storage capabilities anywhere in site. There is room for the owner to upsize the refrigerator for that purpose.
Otherwise no complaints.

This was a great location but very basic. You’ll be spending most of your time outside of the house anyway so it’s perfect for those traveling on a budget.

Place was perfectly adequate. One small thing, I could not find a parking spot labeled 116b, there were spots not labeled that I could use tho’.
I did not realize how quite the island would be after dark, I thought 9 PM was a little early to kick people out of the pool area. I loved the fact that air conditioning was not necessary, but with the neighbors so close and all windows open it made for some awkward times (I could hear people’s conversations in their homes from my bed). On the flip side of that coin, people were kind and gave me tips on where to go and things to see (never would have found out about turtle cave without the help of locals at the pool.
Overall, the place was amazing, I wish I was still there. Check out Turtle cave!!

Lovely place, miserably hot without air-conditioning. The parking debacle was awful one spot for two units and a car was parked there three days without moving. I complained in the car disappeared so I parked in the spot and then got a notice that they were going to Barnicle my vehicle which required another phone call to point out that I indeed was in the unit that I had parked in the space as noted. On the plus side it was clean nice to have a microwave in a refrigerator with enough dishes to eat meals dish soap to wash the dishes and plenty of towels for all the shower if you take because the humidity was horrific. Hard to sleep when it’s 80° and 80% humidity

The room was nice but a little noisy from people upstairs and outside because we had to keep the windows open since there was no air conditioning.

Princeville is a great place to be, with a convenience store nearby, gas station, souvenir shops and a bar, you can easily walk around the village and see the waterfalls from afar! Close to the Limahuli Garden and the Kilahuea Reserve, just make sure to make a reservation.
Perfect for friends or couples, also being able to use the pool and hot tub is such a plus after hiking or being at the beach.

Very accurate description and pictures. Travelled as a couple and it was the perfect amount of space, including a nice outside sitting area. Small fridge and coffee maker allowed us to have breakfast there every day. Walking distance to shuttle stop for Haena State Park. Nice shared pool area. As others have pointed out, limited parking is the only issue, but there was no problem with parking irregularly at night and then moving the car in the morning (although we woke up early every morning, so not sure if they would enforce it in later AM).

Great studio all around. I was staying solo and found the bed to be comfy, bathroom and whole space clean, and location excellent. Would stay again for sure!

My husband and I felt very comfortable as part of the lovely community at sandpiper. Greetings with the very hard working gardener (grounds tended very nicely), other visitors and residents at sandpiper, and the location so convenient to head out and about the north shore and all over for our island adventures. Though, when returning Kate at night from our excursions, parking could be a challenge. We thought we had a dedicated parking spot, but turns out we did not for 116b. We made it work, though did have to park illegally a couple of nights. The bed was very comfortable and the studio was almost all we needed to base at home. The dresser could use replacement as it was mildewed and smelled of ammonia, so we did not put our clothes inside. Limited space to hang things in the closet, and would have been nice to be able to cook in more than microwave. The bbq at the pool came in handy too.
Overall we were very very pleased and would certainly return. Mahalo!!! 2 happy customers, here.
