Communication and check in was easy and straightforward. Property was clean and well maintained. Great location in Princeville. Be sure to read the listing carefully as there is no A/C (which we were aware of), but the fans do a pretty good job keeping things cool. Would recommend as a home base for your north shore adventures.

Great little hideaway with everything you need for a great stay. Kimberlee was easy to communicate with and responded quickly!

I stayed at this delightful studio in Princeville for 8 nights while exploring the gorgeous North Shore of Kauai. This was an ideal location: very quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to walk to shops and restaurants in Princeville and a great base for day trips to Hanalei, Ha'ena, and Kilauea. The studio was so comfortable and spacious, with a lovely lanai for relaxing and dining. The bed was very comfortable, and it was a delight to wake to the sound of birdsong. I never used the air conditioning because it wasn't hot and the ceiling fans were so pleasant, but it was available. The studio also had a nicely supplied kitchen and all kinds of beach items like chairs and snorkel equipment. Everything was spotless and decorated with style and care. I didn't want to leave! And Kimberlee was a wondeful host, so kind and easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Kimberlee for the warm welcome and peaceful stay!

Loved it! Clean, quiet, and thoughtfully furnished studio. Nice little balcony area to relax. Beach gear was handy. Close to Hanalei Bay and all the beaches on the north side.

We love this location and have stayed at the Sandpiper Village many times. Princeville is such a nice quiet area. The condo was nice and as expected. It could use a little touch up here and there but we have found that's the case with most places. It had all the appliances that we needed to fix meals when we wanted which was mostly breakfast. The burners on the stove are a bit uneven but they did work. It was a nice spacious place and we would defiantly stay here again.

The place was clean and stocked with everything we might need. Would come back again.

Very clean and well-appointed studio with your own private balcony patio (lanai). The condo is filled with a lot of considerate touches: lots of outlets everywhere to charge your devices, flashlight for emergencies, ceiling fans, dish soap, sponge, little hotel-type shampoo/conditioner/soaps, hooks to hang things, old towels to wipe off mud, bug spray that I'm guessing was left from previous guests, toaster, plenty of towels, luggage racks, coolers, beach gear. My back does not like mushy matresses and this bed was fine. Whoever cleans the place does a really good job; even the knives in the drawers were evenly laid out all facing the same direction. Thanks for the stay! Communication with the property manager was good. Trying to navigate this resort area is very confusing though; not the fault of the condo, but it's tricky to figure out how to find the place and parking, esp, if it is dark, as others have said.

Close to Princeville & Hanalei, so super easy to shop or grab a cup of coffee. It’s near the golf course, where there’s a great sidewalk that wraps around it for walking exercise. Many families live in the condos around this unit, so noisy children can be an issue, especially if you want to use the pool.

Great condo, clean, everything in good shape, a small kitchen area, a super comfortable large bed in which we slept wonderfully and new bathroom with large shower. What we enjoyed most was the large lanai that we used as a living and dining room. In addition, everything you need for the beach is available. But the icing on the cake was our hostess Kimberlee. She took great care of us before and during our stay and was always available.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the North Shore and the condo was lovely to come home to each night. The pictures do not do it justice. The decor is charming and fresh, the place is spotless, and the air conditioning was refreshing. If I could make one suggestion it would be to provide a portable fan as the bathroom area gets stuffy even with the air conditioner. The place is well-appointed and Kimberlee is a terrific host. The condo is in the Sand Piper community within Princeville.

The location was central to many of the activities we wanted to do. Vacasa lived up to its billing as to the properties amenities. However, there property issues that couldn’t be resolved.

It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It was warm at night and there was no air conditioning. Since the fan overhead was quite noisy when turned on we needed to use fans at the open windows to cool the studio. Also, a stove would have been more useful since we could only cook what we could grill or microwave. It was nice to have the beach chairs and towels. Overall, I would recommend this to others looking for an affordable, safe place on a beautiful piece of property.

The location was good, the pool was wonderful, the unit was fine except it did not have live TV so we could not access local news or regular news like CNN. We also had a minor theft so management changed out lock number and failed to tell us. We were locked out of our unit for 1.5 hours until I finally got someone to call me back with the new code. They said they would text or email the code to me but never did.

Excellent location with easy access to Haena via shuttle, Hanalei for shopping and dining, and lots of beautiful nearby beaches with INCREDIBLE snorkeling. The condo was a bit dated but was clean and well-stocked with just about anything you might need for a longer stay. The patio was expansive and great for coffee/breakfast in the morning and winding down in the evening. The host was attentive, checked in with us regularly, and responded quickly to inquiries. My only complaint (and it's minor because we spent little time inside during our stay) was the air conditioning/windows. The condo does not have central air. Instead, 2 portable units have been installed which were insufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature in the condo during the heat of the day. This situation was not helped by the fact that a couple of the louvered windows were damaged and couldn't be closed. We stayed in May so we just opened all the windows when we got back in the evening and it was cool enough outside to make the place comfortable reasonably quickly. The complex has a great little pool which stayed at a perfect temperature, and a fantastic (actually HOT) hot tub which helped sooth our aches after hiking, along with a couple of gas grills for community use. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for a few days as part of our 2 week tour of Hawai'i. Out of the 5 places we stayed, this was our favorite! It was easy to access the condo on the ground floor. The area was spacious. The shower was nice as was the outdoor area. We made use of the laundry machines and beach gear especially the boogie boards. Overall we had an excellent stay and recommend this place for any trip on the north coast.

We loved and always love our stay on princeville. It’s in a prime location and Mari was extraordinarily helpful. The beds are super comfy, the shower was hot and the condo was entirely functional (aside from the dryer) That said there is LOT to improve the quality of this condo. The lanai is super dirty, the pool equipment was rusty and filthy - we didn’t use it. Both bedroom are in good shape, while some of the drawers don’t open or have bottoms. The refrigerator is 30 years old but works well enough, but knocks. The dryer didn’t work when we arrived, but was fixed. The appliances are old, the doors are off track on the pantry, the screen door to the entry is ripped.While we’ve stayed in princeville 3 times, and all the condos are dated, this one needed attention. We likely wouldn’t stay here again due to the lack of TLC.TLDR: this condo is old but comfortable, there are better quality condos for the same price in the same area. The host is lovely.

Place is pretty clean. Patio is super dirty and the cooler for the beach was nasty but we washed it and used it. Beach chairs were rusted but that comes with keeping them outside in a wet climate. Biggest problem was parking. You have one assigned spot but it’s shared with the neighbor next to you. There are unmarked spots you can park in, but they fill up by 7:30pm. This rental would be great for someone who wants to be home early. That was not us as we went to 1 Hotel for dinner and drinks nightly. We tried to get a hold of the on island host at 9pm one night when there was no parking and they never responded until the next morning. Giving us mad anxiety that our rental car would be towed since we parked on the grass (which it says is a towable offense).

It was dirty and dilapidated and not even ready at our check in time. Still had trash and disgusting sheets from previous guests. We checked in one night to another place which cost us 3x what we would have paid but then found another rental which was incredible. That being said, the agent we worked with was amazing and refunded us the full amount.

Just the right size for us 2. Clean and convenient. Stocked with every amenity needed for our stay. Beach chairs and umbrella were especially appreciated. M (manager) responded immediately to every inquiry we had. His instructions for check in and out were spot on. We stayed in Princeville several times and this is our favorite property.

The condo was exactly what we needed for a short two night stay. The host provided a lot of good tips and pointers for exploring the North Coast. The unit had a lovely bed, a clean bathroom, and a lanai with a great view. The AC unit was much appreciated for the warmer nights and afternoons when we were returning to relax before dinner. We liked the provided gear such as the cooler and beach chairs, but the only downside was the cooler needed to be cleaned (beer spillage and sand) and one of the chairs had a broken strap and mold growing on it (probably from storage on the balcony it could get wet). The other chair was newer and fine. We did not use the snorkel gear.

I stayed at this property solo for a few days. It was exactly as described and extremely well appointed and clean. The sun porch was nice to hang out on. I went to the pool a couple of times and it was well kept and not crowded. I would stay again and recommend it for either solo travel or a couple that plans to be out sightseeing and doesn't require a ton of extra space.

Me and my wife had an amazing stay here! The room was very comfortable, nice and clean! The outside lanai was a great place to sit and hangout. The amenities in the room were very convenient and the refrigerator and shower were bigger than expected. The pool and jacuzzi were great and very relaxing. The grills available next to the pool were also great and we made a nice steak dinner during our stay. Robyn was wonderful, friendly, very communicative, and responded quickly to any questions we had. Highly recommend and we hope to stay again sooner rather than later at our next available chance! Thank you again Robyn for an amazing stay! Can't wait to stay again!

Staying at Kim's home in Hanalei was an absolute dream.. The setting is nothing short of breathtaking—lush greenery, stunning mountain views, and the calming sounds of nature all around. It’s incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind and truly relax.The home itself is beautifully maintained with thoughtful amenities that made our stay so comfortable. From a well-stocked kitchen to relaxing outdoor spaces, everything was just right. The bed deserves a special mention—it was unbelievably soft and cozy, and we slept better than we have in ages.This home is a true gem, and we feel so lucky to have experienced it. We would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for tranquility, comfort, and beauty in Hanalei. We already can't wait to return!

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. The king bed was very comfortable with a nice fan overhead. A/C worked perfectly. We loved the lanai to enjoy dinner and just relax. The use of beach chairs and snorkel equipment was very helpful. Kimberlee was always available for any questions and the check-in was super easy. A great place to stay!

Great location. Condo is more updated than some. Has a hot tub and pool and is walkable to many beaches if you are in shape enough for the trails down. Only things to know is there can be quite a bit of road noise if you are not used to it. I found the sound proofing between the condos was better than most. Cookware was in good shape Furniture has the normal type of wear and tear a beach condo gets. It does get a bit warm. No air conditioning. Wasn’t too hot the week we were there. Probably not above 80.
