About this property

"Bamboo Bungalow" Spacious & Bright, w/ Full Kitchen, W/D & Large Bath

FULLY EQUIPPED, QUIET AND CLOSE TO EVERYTHING!

This is a clean, bright and spacious condo with bedroom loft in Princeville!

We provide you with everything you need and in good quality, making it easy to take advantage of all the spectacular wonders of the North Shore which are all within minutes of this prime location.

This one bedroom loft, bungalow-style condo is located in the Princeville Resort community. Kept in immaculate condition, the condo has nearly every amenity. The condo has a beautiful view of green space and a bit of ocean as well, right on the Anini Beach path (1/2 mile with steep hill, great for a morning workout). The kitchen is fully stocked and ready to go, so all you need is great local produce from one of the many farmers markets and you're good to go!

Tastefully designed, this upper story, bright and airy, studio condo with loft has a balcony where you can wake with the warm morning sunshine and views of the lush trees lining the Queen Emmalani pathway that leads to Anini Beach (1/2 mile away). This charming condo borders the beautiful green space of the Prince golf course and offers privacy from other units. You can also take a dip in the pool, which is just out the front door!

The bedroom loft has a California King sized bed, equipped with 4 inches of memory foam for ultimate comfort. The condo is further outfitted with a large bathroom, a dining table that seats four, a comfortable sleeper sofa (queen), a 32' flat screen HD TV with Roku (free Netflix provided) as well as Wifi.

A half mile walk down the path in front of the condo will lead you to amazing views and to the secluded end of Anini Beach (there is a steep hill for the final stretch). Anini Beach has excellent snorkeling and swimming (it is also a short drive to get to by car). FYI, Anini has the longest barrier reef in the state of Hawaii! This reef breaks all the waves, leaving a lagoon of protected and calm water.

Within a very short walk the other direction from the condo (5-10 min), you will find the Princeville Shopping Village. This is were the primary grocery store on the North Shore (Foodland) is located as well as Lappert's ice cream, shave ice, a coffee shop, boutique stores, multiple restaurants, live music, a yoga studio, a post office, banks/ATMs, a library and bus stop. As mentioned, this condo is situated next to quiet green space yet it is the most nearby condo to these amenities, making it an easy and enjoyable walk. You simply turn right on the Anini Beach Pathway (heading towards the mountains), cross the road and walk through the beautiful Princeville Park and you're there. It's the perfect location! The condo is ideal for anyone who would prefer not to drive, with plenty to see and do on foot.

The greater Princeville area is a quiet resort community located on a bluff overlooking Hanalei Bay and offers spectacular views of the ocean and surrounding mountains with waterfalls and the famous “Bali Hai” ridge that earned its fame from the movie South Pacific. For golf lovers it is also home to the Makai golf course.

Beautiful Hanalei Bay is only 10 minutes away by car. A beautiful place to walk, swim, boogie board or enjoy surfing from beginner to advanced abilities.

Kilauea, with it's scenic lighthouse and wonderful bakery, restaurants and shops is only 15 minutes away by car and your choices for nearby beautiful beaches are endless in either direction

More In the neighborhood (just a few minutes away by foot):
Start your morning with a 15-45 minute walk down the Anini Beach Path OR to the Princeville Shopping Village for breakfast or a latte. The Princeville center also has fantastic options for ice cream, shave ice, smoothies as well as eatery options for lunch and dinner as well.

The Magical North Shore:
The North Shore of Kaua'i is ideal for spectacular adventures and tropical escapes. Kauai's dramatic landscape has been carved for centuries by water and the island's stunning scenery and misty cliffs are punctuated by cascading waterfalls with countless breathtaking vistas. The adventures available to you on this Garden Isle are endless; trek the Kalalau trail and be humbled by the deep ancient valleys, wash your cares away under a waterfall, take a surf lesson in beautiful Hanalei Bay, explore a river on a kayak or take a bird's eye tour of the island by helicopter. Take in the scenery on a hike, ride a horse in the backcountry, or take an awe inspiring walk around Limahuli Garden and Preserve. The list goes on, with opportunities to visit sacred Hawaiian ruins, walk along white sandy beaches, take a boat down the unforgettable Na Pali coast, body surf in playful waves, snorkel with sea turtles or test your balance on a stand-up paddleboard. Find your own dream adventure, relax and take in the wonder of this magical island.

We are proud and excited to be offering this beautiful condo to travelers wishing for an affordable place in paradise to call home. Come, enjoy and play!!

North Shore Getaway
We loved our stay at Lani's condo. Lani was thorough and detailed in her communication and checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure we were comfortable and to give us any updates. The condo had everything we could have asked for during our stay, including Kauai guidebooks, beach chairs and umbrella, beach towels, in-house laundry and basic cooking condiments. Princeville ended up being the ideal place to stay as during our visit as further up north the road to Hannelei closed due to flash flood warnings. We're grateful the Princeville section of highway consistently remains open so we could drive down south. Thank you Lani for contributing to our lovely vacation!

Perfect location for food and shopping!
The walking trail to the shopping area is quite pleasant. We did walk part way to the beach, but being in our 70s didnt think it wise to tackle the steep incline on mud. The place is adorable, steps are steep but doable. The fresh beans and grinder were a def bonus! The island itself is AWESOME! Spent the $$$$ on the coastal boat tour, the gardens, and the food. HI is very very expensive, but worth it!

Relaxing stay in nice space
The layout of the space is nice and open. I enjoyed that the dining table is adjacent to the porch space so even when it rains, you can enjoy a meal or drink while listening to and feeling the breeze. Laundry was great since everything got muddy. The loft is a little warm if you go to bed early but does cool off in a few hours. The location is close so several uncrossed beaches and a few areas with restaurants etc. I mostly just cooked and ate poke!

Great place for two people!
We looked at many properties but didn't need or want a 2-3 BR as there was just two of us and I didn't want to pay for a big place. This one was perfect. The host/owner is amazing! She totally took care of us like we were her kids (I'm 60!). Everything we wanted or needed was there. I had a question for her while there and she responded immediately! We've used VRBO many times from Tel Aviv to the Oregon coast and there is a HUGE difference between working with the owner(great!) and a property management company(Not so much). Great location for walking to the beach, grocery store, restaurants. Very short drive to other beaches and food carts. The property looks out on the pool. A 30 second walk to the pool after a long day is great. We had the pool to ourselves every evening. I can't recomend this place enough!

Great Space and Location
The Bamboo Bungalow is perfectly situated and within walking distance to Anini Beach and the Princeville Shopping Center. It's only a short driving distance down the hill to Hanalei. The condo itself was immaculate and well stocked with everything you could want or need. The best thing about this Condo though was Lani. Her communication and suggestions before and after we had landed made for a more enjoyable and seamless experience. We felt like we had our own Conceirge to help us navigate and make the most of our stay. Her Island guide proved to be invaluable throughout and we referenced on multiple occasions. Thank you Lani for a most memorable stay!

Beautiful, quiet location! There is a trail right behind the unit that takes you to secluded Anini Beach. Great snorkeling. This place had it all, from the fully stocked tickle trunk of boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear... to the great loft bedroom where you could hear the occasional rain hitting the roof. Magical spot in a great location. So well stocked with everything you need for an awesome vacation. Thanks again for hosting us!

Princeville Stay
Lani is an exceptional host and went out of her way to make our stay perfect. She even made an accommodation for us to rent another one of her properties when VRBO double booked our original booking with her and we were left without a place to stay. The only negative, if there is one, is that the upstairs bedroom in the Bamboo Bungalow gets quite warm during the day, but it does cool off at night with fans. Other than that, the place and host were fantastic!

Hot, uncomfortable and outdated
Great communication with host- and amenities such as towels and washing machine was great. Unfortunately the unit fell short in most other aspects- the unit was outdated, and very hot especially upstairs (no AC, only fans), uncomfortable soft bed, with many nats and spiders. Also encountered geckos, and although we were informed beforehand, we did not expect to see multiple especially by our bed at night. Overall, felt like we were camping, which was disappointing considering how much this place charged per night. Would recommend staying at a hotel or somewhere else for this price point. This was our 5th time in Hawaii and this was the most unpleasant and uncomfortable lodging we've had.

Our stay at Blue Skies condo
The location was great. Lani has put together an awesome book of instructions, places to go, well updated with the recent changes due to the hurricane last year.We had a couple of minor problems/concerns (i.e. the hide-a-bed got stuck). Lani was immediately responsive by phone, and also came by to be sure the problem was solved. Hurrah! The condo was clean, well equipped, appliances in good order, same with the grounds. Pool was great, heated by the sun, so crisp after dark. Tenants we're quiet, birds were abundant, no traffic noise.

Bamboo Bungalow was accurately described. Perfect place for a couple who can do stairs to the loft.
Chose the spot for it’s location, size and access to the condo’s pool. Plenty of space for two of us. The condo is in the quieter corner of a small complex. Easy to walk for leisure or shopping. Kitchen was well equipped. Nice deck off the back. Beach equipment, beach towels and coolers available for guests. Found the space very relaxing for reading, sleeping or watching movies. The open windows kept the place fresh and airy. Designated parking space added convenience. I loved the condo pool. Clean and not crowded. Beats an overcrowded pool at many resorts. If it is your first visit to Kaua’i, the Princeville area is less commercial, beaches are fewer than on the South. However, if your goal is to enjoy warmer weather in a relaxing spot, this place will fulfill your goal. Foodland Market is a well stocked store. A few restaurants and bars in Princeville, but more in Hanalei and Kilauea. Lani was a good communicator from our first contact. Appreciated her attention to detail. Would consider returning if Kaua’i is on our future travel list.

Kauai North Shore Condo
We enjoyed our stay in the Bamboo Bungalow. We chose that location to be near our daughter and family staying in a nearby timeshare. Everything in the condo is exactly as Lani and Sky describe. In the kitchen there is everything one needs to make meals if you are planning to cook. We especially enjoyed seeing and hearing local birds land on the lanai and the sound of rain on the roof at night. During our fifteen day stay it was mostly sunny, except for one day, which gave us a day of recuperation during our holiday. For good or bad there is not a paucity of nearby things to do and see. Lani and Sky were attentive to our needs. A few minor repairs (replacing fluorescent tube and night lite) there was a very quick response. Another positive response for us was that after climbing stairs for 15 days we noticed a marked improvement in our leg muscles! Maholo, Kay and Lige Christian

About the host

Hosted by Lani Forster

Host profile image
Aloha! I am Lani and I am passionate about sharing the love I have for my island Home of Kauai to those who visit this special place.

I’ve lived on Kauai for much of my life. I was born near Tunnels Beach and have always considered the North Shore of Kauai “home”. However, adventures beyond the islands, eventually brought me to the mainland and abroad. I went to school in Santa Cruz California and even got interested in colder climates for a while. Between travels abroad, I worked as an entrepreneur and in various outdoor industries for the better part of a decade, living in amazingly scenic, rural towns. One of my favorite of those towns was Jackson Hole Wyoming, where I lived for several years before moving back to Kauai. It took searching the world to ultimately realize, there’s no place like home.

I truly enjoy passing on the love and reverence I have of my island home to my guests. I offer my local knowledge and recommendations in addition to providing exceptional quality accommodation and service. I want to ensure that my guests have as much fun and as little worries as possible on their visits to Kauai!

I love offering conscientious travelers an amazing home while they explore the Garden Island, and both my condos are thoughtfully equipped, well located and always kept clean and attended to with lots of love.

I am are honored to have received such great reviews, and maintained a consistent Airbnb SuperHost rating that I have held strong for several years.

I am grateful for my guests, as they give to me just as much as I give them.

Happiest of travels and lots of Aloha to you!

Lani

Why they chose this property

Paniolo is great for several significant reasons. One of the biggest is the convenience of the location. The condo is close to the Princeville entrance so it provides easy access to your island adventures as well as the nearby amenities of the Princeville shopping area. On a related note, Princeville roads have many speed bumps, but Paniolo is perfectly situated in a prime spot closer to the entrance of Princeville which conveniently allows you to avoid these buggers. When driving into the Princeville community, the Paniolo complex is one of the first group of buildings you will pass making it quick and easy to find.

What makes this property unique

The "Bamboo Bungalow" is positioned strategically in the quietest depths of the Paniolo condo complex, farthest from any road and closest to bordering green belt. Some faint sounds of cars during the day can be heard, but what is most predominant is the sounds of bird songs and the cooling trade winds through the Java Plum trees. At night you'll hear the crickets and the waves crashing off the Anini reef. This is a quiet and peaceful unit!
