The Blue Room is a “hotel style” studio with a private bathroom and covered lanai. Included are a comfy queen bed, wireless, smart t.v., coffee maker and mini fridge. There are no cooking or laundry facilities. Close to restaurants, shops, resorts and beaches. Cool and airy inside (fans but no A/C) with plenty of greenery outside. The perfect getaway for island explorers. After a full day of activities, return to take a soak in the jacuzzi or a dip in the pool. You're just a short drive away from golf, horse-back riding, surf lessons, scuba diving, ziplining, etc. Walk along the Princeville path to see the sunset or visit a resort for a cocktail. Sandpiper was one of the first condominium spilt in Princeville and many locals reside there, working, going to school, etc. guests can experience a real local vibe. That being said, there are units upstairs and on both sides so visitors seeking a tranquil respite would be better off in a private residence.

We’ve stayed at the other Sandpiper condos and this was a very nice studio. Was a nice clean unit. super easy to come and go provides all the basics. Fortunately this time of year it does cool down enough in evenings with cross ventilation and a ceiling fan. If it was June not so sure. Other condos provided floor fans as back up during seasonally warmer nights. It’s a wonderful place to stay on the North end when one understands simple Kauai vacationing having a clean comfortable room and a warm shower with a quite atmosphere to re energize. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We thought rental was good value for price,nice pool and great location enjoyed proximity to beaches and princeville and Hanelei towns for restaurants and shops Excellent farmers markets in area on different a days of the week . Make sure to add this north shore rental as well as a stay to south shore to your Kauai holiday

Awesome quiet neighborhood. Quick responses to messages. Clear instructions. Perfect location for us. Pool and jacuzzi were nice to relax in. We used them many times. Close enough to Hanalei to drive a few minutes. Hotel nearby has music every night and good choice of appetizers. One thing…small fridge and no utensils except one sort of sharp knife. Plastic eating utensils. Thanks Janet for your hospitality.

My experience was phenomenal and my host couldn’t have been more accommodating. I got to witness my best friend marrying the love of his life and made lifelong memories. I would highly recommend you stay here if you’re a small party (1-2) and plan on being out experiencing the island more than in. There are multiple amenities in the immediate area however some further destinations (even to the bay) require a rental car at the least. For the price point of the listing it should be more than feasible to appropriately rent a vehicle to accomplish these needs.

Lovely studio in quiet residential neighborhood, wonderful area for walking, enjoyed the lanai for relaxing in the morning and evening. Lots to do and see in Princeville. Thank you, Janet, we had a wonderful time!

Affordable no thrills studio in a great location. The address in Apple Maps does not take you to the correct location. The check in instructions could be clearer as we had trouble finding the complex. Pool and hot tub were nice touches.

Perfect location, perfect spot to sleep after a day of activities. The spot had everything we needed for the 2 of us.

We enjoyed our stay! The location was close to north shore beaches and shops. We also enjoyed having the patio and provided beach chairs. The only issue we had was parking . two of the nights we spend from 30 mins to an hour looking for parking when both the lot in front of the condo and behind it were full . We end up having to Park in a spot that said no parking due to having no other choices . Other than that the place was cute and location great!

This property was exactly what we needed for our two day stay before hiking the Kalalau Trail. Everything was as described in the listing, the property was clean and stocked with essentials, and check-in was extremely easy.

We had a lovely stay here. We asked if it would be OK to have three people including our 4 year old kid. Their was an air mattress available and the owner even brought over a nice foam mattress for our kid. The room was quiet despite all the neighbors having close windows open. We did need to work to make sure our kid didn’t talk loudly before 9am (quiet hours) which took some effort especially with the time change. But it felt like all the neighbors were doing their part to respect the quiet hours which we appreciated. We really liked the relaxed neighborhood feel of the complex. This was the perfect home base for our family to explore the area. Thanks!

The studio was absolutely precious. Quiet patio. Very clean room. Great amenities even stocked with Keurig coffee cups, the best! Had a visit from the community condo cat as well. Centrally located would absolutely stay here again and again. Janet was a fantastic host!


Angela H.

Had a lovely time. Unit was small but adequate. Really loved the covered porch for coffee. Noise from next door was a bit much due to thin walls and the parking situation was less than ideal. All in all would stay again. Clean, friendly, and wonderfully priced!

Took a three-day weekend away from Honolulu to Kauai. Perfect location to access North Shore of Kauai from. Clean, great for two people, reasonable price especially if you are going to spend most of your time outside hiking, beaching, and/or drinking :)

My husband and I stayed for a week in this condo, and it met our expectations. The condo was very clean, and there were no bugs. The bed, pillows, and patio chairs were super comfortable. The overhead fan and the cross breeze kept the condo cool. The location is perfect. It was a short drive to Hanalei, Anini beach, and many other north shore beaches.We even walked to the beach at the end of the road every night for the sunsets.There were plenty of towels and wash clothes, and beach equipment.We used the beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella, which came in handy. We stopped by Costco before checking in, and got some dinners and breakfasts that we heated in the microwave, and made coffee each morning. Another plus was the host, Janet.She was quick to respond to our questions, but was not intrusive. As mentioned in other reviews, the walls are thin, and the condo is adjacent to the parking lot, which was noisy at times. However, between the hours of 10:00 pm and 7:00 am, it was quiet, so we slept well every night.Best of all, this condo was affordable! Overall, we had a great stay, and would stay here again!

It was a lovely, colorful, beach-themed studio with a private patio. It’s centrally located to Princeville Shopping Center and other activities. We had a comfortable and wonderful stay. Janet was very responsive and kind. Would definitely stay here again. Mahalo💕🌴🌈🌺

This place was perfect for my wife and I on our budget trip to Kauai. The inside was nice and inviting, and the owner has thought of a lot of little details that made our stay that much easier. I especially enjoyed the sharp knife and cutting board for preparing our own fresh pineapple, as well as the beach supplies which saved us a lot of hassle. The patio was surprisingly nice to hang out on in the mornings while drinking our coffee and listening to the rain and bird songs. We would love to come back!

This studio is perfect for the island explorers! We just needed a place to sleep and shower, and this place did it justice. The walls were very thin but the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the unit was extremely clean and well organized. The host was quick to respond to all questions, which is always appreciated. We made good use of the beach equipment and cooler. I loved all the chickens and neighborhood cats roaming about daily. It felt safe and tranquil. Perfect location for night walks. The stars are unreal!! We would definitely stay here again!

The property is in a very safe and beautiful location. It was very cute and cozy, perfect for spending nights and mornings so we could go adventuring during the day. We felt very comfortable there and the host had the place set up nicely for us.

This was an awesome stay! Janet was great and easy to work with. The place was perfect for us... clean, spacious, and private. We'd definitely stay here again! One suggestion would be to reinforce the wall behind the microwave as the wall was thin and we could hear the neighbors.


Meg H.
April 2023
Janet's place was perfect for the two of us. Convenient location, very clean and comfortable, no trouble at all with noise or outside activities. Janet was on site when we arrived and we enjoyed her very much. She allowed us a late check-out, so we could go for a morning hike and come back for a shower and packing-up. But the day after we left, she charged our card an extra $200 for a broken floor tile in the bathroom. We're very sure we didn't cause this damage, and would have told her if we had, but she was equally as sure we did cause the damage and was in a position to charge us for it. An unhappy end to an otherwise terrific stay.

Location, location, location. This property is a great value for one or two people staying on the North Shore of Hawaii. We spent 4 nights here and only used the property to sleep and shower. It is more than adequate for that purpose. We would consider staying here again.

Great location, nice area, grocery store, gas station, and some shops right out front of the subdivision area and 2 miles from Hanalei. I did change the bedding it was way too warm for a down comforter but they had 3 different ones so I just grabbed the thin one! Very nice.

I liked this classic condo complex, it may be a little dated but it has island appeal with great foliage. Nice grass area and pool. The unit was clean and had on-demand coffee which was very nice. Parking was easy, even when arriving late. I would certainly stay there again.

My husband and I just stayed here. It’s in a great spot within the Princeville area and we enjoyed the walking path around the complex. The room was clean and was the perfect spot for us while we were on Kauai. Communication with Janet about the property was fast!


Michael S.

The unit was exactly as advertised, and my wife and I enjoyed our two night stay here! If I was being super critical, I would mention that the front door shuts super fast when you let go of it (would be an easy fix). I know this has also been previously mentioned in other comments, but you definitely can hear the conversations from people in surrounding units. This did not bother us at all but just something I would point out in case that’s a major concern to someone else!

I had a mixed experience at this stay. First, the positives: the unit was extremely clean. Bed was comfortable.The location was a good home base to explore the north shore. The unit was well priced. The negatives: I understand at this price point, you cannot expect a luxury experience, however there were a few things that made our stay not enjoyable, most which could be easily fixed. First, the curtains were not acceptable. The curtain that covers the lanai (big) window does not span the full length of the window and is translucent. When people are coming from a more eastern location, they will want to fall asleep before the hawaii sun sets. I couldn't sleep without placing a rag over my head which was very unpleasant nevermind the lack of privacy from a curtain that is too narrow and see through. Next, the walls in this complex are paper thin. It feels like they are made of cardboard. You will hear every footstep of the people upstairs, every conversation of the neighbours, and everybody coming and going outside the unit. Combined with the poor curtains, it did not make for a restful sleep. Finally, but most concerning, was the keychain on the door key at checkin which was the name of an extreme right wing intellectually dishonest racist, homophobic, white supremacist "university" that prepares cancerous ideologies into nice looking videos to recruit dumb people. That was quite a poor first impression that our host possibly subscribes to these ideologies.


Rachel V.

Decent location. Very simple small changes could make this stay a 5 star. Area rug under bed, better curtains, a toaster. No AC which was OK, but having AC would make this property worth the value of the price per night.

Heather P.

We stayed here for our last 2 days in Kauai, it had everything we needed. The bed was super soft and comfortable. They had lots of items to use for the beach available. Couple things to keep in mind parking can be a little tight and the room does not have AC but they have fans and you can leave the window slats open to increase air flow. About 5 mins from shops and restaurants, 10 mins from beaches.

Janet provided a comfortable space for us during our 1-week stay in Kauai. The listing was accurate, and the check in/out process was smooth. There was usually plenty of unreserved parking available for us. It was in a quiet area, and the location was safe and accessible to downtown Princeville.

We had a great stay. This room was plenty big enough for my husband and myself. We really enjoyed spending time on the secluded porch after being out and about all day. The kerig coffee maker and organic coffee and tea were most welcomed! The host was very hospitable. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfectly accurate directions to navigating the property that made checking in/out smooth and easy. No issues at all—apartment was clean and the perfect size for us. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom with good shower pressure, good WiFi. All you could need for a long weekend or more. Loved that we were so close to Kilauea and Hanalei. Highly recommend for your Kauai trip! Thank you Janet!

Our second time in the Sandpiper was as good as the first. It's a great way for us non-posh folk to have a convenient home base from which to explore the island. And the communal jacuzzi is a brilliant way to mellow out after a day in the surf.

We asked the property owner to come clean a problem that we found and she criticized us. We have stayed in Princeville in November for 7 out of the last ten years and have never had a response like that.


Katie E.

Great little place to stay in a convenient location in Princeville. It's a small studio type apartment, great value for 2 folks but any more would get over crowded quickly. With the size of the unit they've fit in many essentials; mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and beach supplies. I only stayed 2 nights while waiting for friends to arrive, but loved the location close to Princeville shops. The pool had nice lounge chairs which was nice for an afternoon in the sun.


Marilyn L.
November 2022
We had only 3 days to stay at our room and enjoyed it. It was a quaint studio with everything you basically need. Janet was a great host and her generosity was much appreciated. You can’t go wrong booking this unit for exploring Kauai. There was a mini-fridge, coffee maker, lots of Kuerig coffee pods, paper plates, utensils, microwave in room. And also beach chairs, mats, cooler which came in real handy Thanks Janet!


Dean M.

I spent 3 nights at this comfy rental. Amenities include parking, use of the pool and jacuzzi, and beach supplies: chairs, a cooler and straw beach mats!

If you're just needing a space to shower and sleep, this place is it. The bed was comfortable. There are plenty of fans to keep you cool at night. And if you place them just right with the windows open, it brings through a very nice breeze. We were appreciative of the little extras that were available. We were only here to sleep and this studio met our needs.

I stayed here alone for a few days. Quaint room perfect for my needs. Grounds were quiet and clean. Pool and Jacuzzi were a nice addition to help relax after days of exploring the island. Host was helpful and very responsive to messages. Would stay here again!

This is an older property so don't expect polish and pizazz. Instead, be awed at the thoughtfulness Janet put into your vacationing needs. Fridge, coffee maker, microwave, eating utensils, towels, beach and snorkeling supplies, fans, extra electrical outlets. She has what you need here. This was a wonderful way to see paradise. Thanks, Janet!

We had a great stay here. Clean, equipped, with a nice patio. Check in was easy and the back parking lot was very easy to use of the front lot was full. Shower was great. For me, it was comfortable with the windows open and fan running but too hot in the evenings for my husband. This little community is close to the spots you want to visit but doesn’t really have a town that we saw. Seems like mostly a resort community. You’ll need to go a few miles for coffee and food. It’s a very convenient location for anyone visiting Hanalei.

This is a perfect studio for an active vacation when you're spending most of the time out exploring the island. Close to snorkeling beaches and hiking, a grocery store, coffee, with spectacular mountain views near the property. Comfortable bed, a microwave and fridge in the unit to save $$ if you don't want to eat out for every meal. Solid wifi in the unit, breezy covered outdoor patio. We'd stay here again!!

I stayed here for one night while visiting Kauai. It had a great location and good amenities. The only thing that was difficult was parking -- you can't park anywhere that is "reserved".... which is essentially the entire parking lot. So finding parking was particularly annoying. Otherwise we loved our stay. :)

Charming and well-equipped room, suitable for one or two people on a budget. I didn’t feel comfortable, though, in this day and age of Covid, with the owner’s unhygienic practice of leaving opened and partially used toiletries, such as shampoo, and suntan lotion, from previous guests for use by succeeding guests.


Candice P.

Positives: easy check in via key lockbox. There was a patio with beach supplies if needed. Coffee was provided and smart tv was easily accessible. Negatives: Noisy neighbors, poor ventilation, and mold in the shower and on provided wooden utensils.

We stayed for 6 nights in Princeville and thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. Amenities were in perfect working order. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, tubing, and a Catamaran trip to the MaPali coast. Janet had a book of places to see and things to do. Thank you for hosting us! Dennis and Susan Stank

First the location is absolutely ideal! Minutes to all of the beaches on the incredible Napali coast. It was 10 minutes to our shuttle to the Kalaulau trail hike and to all of the pristine beaches. The Queen's Bath is a walking distance. There is a great grocery store about a mile away along with shops and restaurants - it really can't be more convenient. The pool and hot tub are great and right outside the back of the unit in the courtyard - and there are two very clean and nice gas bbq grills to use. There are several fans in the unit which were more than adequate for our needs. Janet was great! Her communication was great and so were the instructions and ease of getting access. She made sure we had parking instructions and a parking pass and access to the pool area. We never had trouble getting a parking spot in the back lot. We got to meet Janet when leaving and it was obvious she was a great owner who cared about her place and her guests. We would stay there again without hesitation.


Cedar Y.
February 2022
Perfect little spot for my stay on the Northshore! Walkable to foodland and Hideaways Beach. Definitely recommend renting a car if you want to go into Hanalei or see the NaPali Coast. Unit was stocked with plenty of towels and beach gear. Plenty of coffee supplies. Thanks for a great stay Janet!
