About this property

North Shore Activity Base. Sandpiper Village 229B

Our lovely second floor studio unit now provides A/C. We've installed a high-velocity ceiling fan that seems to do the trick when AC isn't needed! The covered lanai has a view of the mountains and lush tropical plantings. Free, limited, unassigned parking spaces are included with your rental, so try to arrive early to secure a spot.

Our studio is decorated with furniture in the Hawaiian and Asian whimsical style including a lovely rooster who doesn’t crow and wake you in the middle of the night! You’ll find a bistro table and chairs, if you’d like to eat on the lanai. We offer you a comfortable King size bed with fresh, crisp linens.

We provide Spectrum cable and internet and an LG TV for relaxing after your days of exploring, shopping or enjoying the many beautiful beaches. The TV is mounted on the wall at the foot of the bed. We provide dedicated wireless internet, along with 2 large power strips to charge your various electronics.

The studio has a private bathroom with a roomy shower. The vanity area is separate from the bathroom. The deep, stainless sink also serves as a dishwashing station. Provided drainers and supplies are under the sink.

Relax on the private covered lanai you will discover a pull down, semi-transparent shade to filter the afternoon sun. You'll find a roomy rocking chair as well, with a second in the studio.

Sandpiper Village is nestled on several acres of paradise in Princeville. The complex has a large enclosed swimming pool area with a communal hot tub. Plenty adjustable loungers are available for your comfort and convenience. You also are encouraged to barbecue in this area using the two Weber gas barbecue grills and provided utensils. Sandpiper Village is close to the Princeville Shopping Center and restaurants, jogging path and the lovely Makai Golf Course and tennis courts. Miles of beautiful beaches at Hanalei, Haena, Anini and many more locations are only a short drive away!

I am just a 5 minute drive away in the event you need my help.

Local independent, streaming Community Radio station, 90.9 KKCR, plays Hawaiian music overnight and often during the day. There's a great variety of talk shows and "DJ choice" music programming beginning at 7am. Listen to it online when you return home!

DON'T FORGET to return parking pass and pool key to hooks on the wall. Door keys should be on the wall and in the lock box to avoid $50 replacement EACH! We don't want your last reminder of Kaua'i to be a notice from Vrbo that you are being charged!!

Mahalo!

The Kauai Adventure
Sandpiper is conveniently located to all the adventures in the north with easy access to Kapaa and Poi Pou in the south. The development and condo is clean and well maintained. The owners were accurate in their description of the property and condo. We would definitely stay again!

Exactly as advertised
Easy to find and was fully stocked as advertised. We didn’t use any of the kitchen items as we were with another group who had a full kitchen but it does have a full size fridge. The bed was comfortable, cold AC if needed, big shower with bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. As mentioned in other reviews the walls are paper thin so bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. It’s on the 2nd story with no elevator. The snorkel gear provided looks new and in great shape but we didn’t use it. Also provided are 2 beach chairs, beach umbrella, small 6 pack cooler with frozen cold packs, 3 beach towels, which we appreciated very much, and a rain umbrella. The bathroom sink is a big bar sink with a high kitchen faucet. Plenty of supplies for washing dishes under the sink. We didn’t use the pool but it’s close by. The lanai faces the parking lot so not much to look at but it was still an enjoyable stay. It was a good location for our 3 days up north.

Noisy, won’t stay again
First, the owners were great with communication. I loved that they set up the room to be cooled off and even had chilled water in the Brita, much needed! The owners were very quick to respond to my questions the first night. The problem was with parking. There is no designated parking space for this rental. It wasn’t a problem most nights but two nights we couldn’t find any spots available. The owner to allow renters the space and hey have. Second was the noise. There was roofing construction going on most of the early mornings and the gardeners were literally using the leaf blowers outside of the unit about 5 mornings out 7. There were also people loudly yelling in the early morning of our last day. I will not stay there again. I did not get the peace and tranquility I was hoping and needing.

Excellent North Shore Home Base
This great little condo was exactly as advertised and made the perfect home base for my husband and me as we enjoyed the beautiful north shore of Kauai. Having a full-sized refrigerator, coffee maker & kitchenette on the lanai was perfect for breakfasts and helped us save a bit on food. The studio's decor and furnishings are pleasing and high quality. We'd gladly return again. Mahalo for a great stay!

Perfect little stay
Everything you need and nothing you don’tPerfect location with a lovely pool and hot tub after the long flight. It’s a small space that was perfect for the two of us for a couple days. Great stars! Beautiful walks and just a couple minutes away from the little shopping center with a Foodland and a Tiki lounge. Highly recommend this spot for an affordable stay in Princeville. Thank you for a lovely time!

More than impressed
We were so happy with this property. The location was great, close to Princeville and many wonderful places you can walk to. We never had trouble finding parking and the check-on/check-out process was totally seamless. The bed was SO comfy and we very much enjoyed spending time on the lanei with a cold beverage after a long day of hiking or swimming. When I first booked this I thought "why would we use a hot tub in this tropical location?" (we are from Canada where hot tubs are definitely associated with cold winter days after skiing) but it was so lovely to have especially after treking along to Na Pali Coast.I would 100% stay at Marilyn's place again. She was super responsive and provided us some good tips on places to go.

The condo was everything we needed. Walking distance to the marketplace. Lovely grounds & super comfy bed. We knew we wouldn’t be cooking, so the lack of a kitchen did not impact us. We will definitely stay here again.

Well kept studio/condo
Princeville is where you want to be as it's the most highly sought after places to be on Kauai. The Studio rental looks just like the pictures. I love the full size fridge. We don't need a kitchen since we enjoy trying out the different food places on Kauai. The high ceiling makes this unit feel so grand. Getting into the unit was easy. The access to beach chairs and snorkel equipment is a nice choice, but not used as we brought our own snorkel gear. Note: an entrance to the other unit is on the same landing and as long as you are ok with noise/chatter from other tenants, you will be fine. I am used to living in close quarters on Oahu so it wasn't as issue for us. Early in the evening we could hear our neighbor's tv on, but they shut it off relatively early. We had a patio with chairs and a drying rack. As mentioned in previous reviews, the sliding glass door's lock wasn't working. Unless someone is scaling the wall to enter it's not an issue, but it did my my young teen a little nervous initially. It's a simple fix. I would recommend this unit to others as Marily was very quick to respond to an inquiry. The price is right for this unit and I would most likely return to this unit when I visit Kaua'i once again.

Just Right
Ive been island hopping and stayed in a vrbo property for each stay. This was the best property. Pictures can be deceiving. In this case the pictures didnt to the property justice. It was much nicer and very well equipped. They thought of everything. It was clean, roomier than expected and easy to check in and out and parking was also easy. Excellent.

You have to know that it is only one room with balcony. If you would never cook on your one it might be ok but preparing meals is almost impossible (not real cooking gear,no space,washing dishes etc in the sink of toilet/bathroom).nice pool and jacuzzi. Helpful owners.

First ever visit to Kauai
This was our first ever trip to Kauai, so when booking it’s tricky to try to visualise what your vacation stay will look like. Princeville is a lovely, wealthy, tidy village and this condo was lovely, ideally located for Hanalei Bay as it’s just a few minutes drive down the hill. Shame you can’t walk to it but there are plenty of other places to hike and walk around. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything you would need - the beach chairs were fab! I would say in the message about checking in, the notes say apartment 1, but it's marked as B, so until we scrolled & saw the wifi code which contains the B we were a bit flummoxed! We also had a note from the Princeville committee on our car on the final morning, despite being in an unnumbered spot as instructed. If you’ve seen the film Hot Fuzz, for Sandpiper read Sandford and you will get it!

Why they chose this property

The quiet and beautiful location, well-maintained property, neighborhood atmosphere, pool/jacuzzi/grills in excellent condition are all reasons to love it.

What makes this property unique

Just minutes to everything that you want to visit on the North Shore. The drive down into the Hanalei Valley is stunning. Easy-to-get to Poi Day at Waipa every early Thursday morning is a "must try." Summer Na Pali boat tours leaving from Hanalei are a photographer's dream. Trips include lunch, drinks and spinner dolphins. Turtles and tropical fish are a great possibility!
