About this property

E Komo Mai!
Come enjoy my newly remodeled tropical island studio on Kauai's lovely north shore. Your perfect day starts with breakfast on the sunny and private East side lanai. Next, grab the beach toys, pack a cooler and roll down to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Come home and take a nap in the cool AC and then go down the street to Watch the sun set over Bali hai view. Top the evening off with a barbecue by the pool-side and a mai tai. There’s also always night time fun at places like Tiki Iniki or the famous Tahiti Nui down the hill in Hanalei.
The tiled bathroom feels like a jungle spa -for those who like the idea of jungle camping but want to be sheltered and pampered.
As the evening cools down you make yourself comfortable on the king size bed situated to watch your choice of entertainment on the the flatscreen smart TV under the ceiling fan. Or maybe you'd like to sit out under the party lights on the private living room-like and enjoy the breeze from the ceiling fan.
The modern kitchenette that includes all the basics you'll need for prepping small meals, and you always have the choice of numerous wonderful restaurants within a mile. You'll find a cooler, beach chairs, boogie boards and pool noodles on the lanai for your use, and even my hand-drawn map for special place to hike to right from your unit.
The North Shore of Kauai is unparalleled in it's beauty and my little 'piece of paradise' will make your stay just right! Tranquil, relaxing and comfortable. I promise you'll LOVE it!
I also pride myself in helping to customize trips to hike on my favorite trail in the world; the Kalalau. Let me know your itinerary and I may be able to arrange shuttles to the trail head, store your luggage, or even give you trekking poles to borrow.

I love to cater to adventurers so send me any questions. Regarding access to our spectacular areas north of Hanalei visiting Hi.dot.Hawaii.gov.

Thanks for your interest! Feel free to make an inquiry before booking if you have any questions. I would love to hear from you.

Lovely condo for short stay

Well appointed small condo to enjoy for a few nights. Very comfortable bed with large fan overhead. Lanai is square with comfy chairs for relaxing & small table for dining - like a family room outside. Kitchen area has all you need for breakfast or lunch, fridge is large for a studio place. Heard some noise by neighbors tho not very late. Pool & hot tub pretty nice, close by

Perfect location for north shore sites!

We stayed three nights at Kimberlee’s cute studio. There was designated parking, pool towels and beach chairs… all things one would need for a relaxing vacation! The lanai was perfect for working in the morning and reading at night! There was enough kitchen utensils that we did not have to buy anything. The neighborhood is wonderful for walking around !

Peaceful

Kimberlee was wonderful, she was very attentive to our needs. We were there on our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more perfect..The bed was soooo comfortable , cottage was very clean, it was great having a parking place, we got a chance to use the ocean toys and snorkel gear provided. We really enjoyed having coffee in the morning and a nice drink at sunset out on the lanai.The beaches on the North shore are wonderful and very relaxing. And there was plenty of supplies. As you can tell we can’t say enough about the quaint , comfortable cottage. Thank you Kimberlee we will definitely stay here next time we are on the island

Location in primo!

This stay was simply wonderful and everything as expected. The property is fantastic and the location is magical. The grounds and the surrounding areas are great if you like to jog and enjoy a beautiful view. The location in proximity to Hanalei is unmatched. Bed was beyond comfortable and the lanai was an oasis in itself. Kim made everything so comfortable and I would come and stay again in a heartbeat!

Perfect studio stay in Princevill

Kimberlee was a great host and her studio was a perfect stay for my partner and me. The communication and check in was all easy. A dedicated parking spot was great. The studio has everything you need for your stay. Kimberlee also had beach equipment for use which was very handy. The studio was comfortable and more than enough space for two people, with a nice balcony. There are plenty of restaurants just a short drive away. We were there in January so the weather in northern Kauai was kind of chilly, and the beaches aren't super swimmable in this area at that time of year apparently. If you are doing things in southern Kauai it may be a long drive (1-1.5 hours), just something to keep in mind. It's very close to Na'apali Coast park though. We'd definitely stay at Kimberlee's again if we wanted to go back to Princeville.

Perfect Space in Paradise

If you’re looking to stay in the North Shore—this place will not disappoint! It went above and beyond our expectations, and had everything we needed for our week-long stay to explore and bask on the beaches of Kauai. The aesthetic patio/lanai was our favorite part of the place and we enjoyed slow mornings with tea and light breakfast. The apartment is conveniently located near beautiful must-visit beaches, historic areas, and delicious restaurants. Kimberlee is a fantastic host and did an amazing job making sure we were comfortable. She’s super accommodating and would love to return again for another stay in the future :)

Tropical Paradise and Tranquility!!

My daughter and fell in love with this condo! From the moment I booked this vacation, I knew I had made the right decision. Kimberlee was so helpful and accommodating. She was so helpful and patient when I had to make some changes. The condo is amazing!! I have been to Kauai 3 times and this was definitely my favorite place. I will definitely be returning. I just love being in Princeville. It is so beautiful and peaceful. The condo is exactly as pictured but they don’t do it justice. The personal touches and plants made it feel so inviting. The outside patio is so relaxing. You will truly love this place! Thank you Kimberlee!!

Watching the rain in the lanai

What a great place. The nearness to the beaches on North Shore is excellent with ability to hike right from the place. Kimberlee was so great at communicating from start to finish. The only thing we needed was a bigger kitchen knife to cut up some of our Hawaiian fruit… we did not use the snorkeling gear as it was a little rough and rainy during our stay. All other gear was awesome….

Perfect bit of paradise

After having a few adventurous days on the south side, I came up north for some quiet relaxation and got that with this condo. The lanai was my favorite part of the condo. It was spacious, comfortable, breezy, and relatively private with the shade down. It was perfect to drink coffee on in the morning, or to enjoy some takeout in the evenings. If you want a place on the north shore that is calm and relaxing, this is the perfect location.

Convenient for North Side

The North Side is lovely. We chose the location for proximity to the Danali Coast/hiking which was amazing! We had expected/hoped the beach access to be better/easier but we did find our way to Sea Lodge Beach (thorough private property!) and Hideaways. Both are very steep climbs down/up and not for the faint-hearted. The studio was very clean and it was nice to have poles, chairs etc available. In terms of food, plan to have breakfast or light lunch as it is a little challenging to make dinner (although ordering in works).

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.

Peaceful vacation rental

This property was exactly what we were looking for! It was quiet, clean, beautiful, and RELAXING!! It came with serval amenities both indoor (cookware and guide books) as well as outdoor (beach chairs, cooler, snorkels). The lanai was our favorite place to start the day drinking tea and coffee and to end the day eating dessert under the party lights! Kimberlee was an AMAZING host who was always responsive and helpful with any questions we had! She was always friendly and had a great sense of humor! We will defiantly recommend this spot to our friends and family who head to Kauai!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberlee Stuart

I am a semi-retired teacher and have taught here in Kauai for over 30 years. I continue to teach for the State of Hawaii in online science courses. I am an athlete and a water woman and I enjoy surfing and compete in outrigger canoe races between the islands. I am a grandmother, a scientist, and a world traveler.
The photo is of my parents and I on a lake in their beautiful Vermont during the fall.

Why they chose this property

The folks that live in Sandpiper Village full time call it 'The Village'. Although it's a condo in a resort community we have families and working folks that live here along with the lucky visitors that we share the neighborhood with. The grounds and plantings are lush and tropical, the pool is crystal clean and the groundskeepers and management are friendly members of our village.
I rented this unit for over 20 years before I got a fortunate break and was able to purchase it in March 2019. I worked through an intensive renovation, refurbishing everything from floor to ceiling and placed in on VRBO in May. I'm hoping that my new VRBO business will help support me in my retirement!

What makes this property unique

Pool, hot tub, barbecue.
Hike paths to several beaches.
Walking path runs from the shopping center, through Princeville, and to the stairway to the beach.
