About this property

Modern Island Studio in a spectacular location on Kauai’s lovely North Shore

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.

Family time in Kauai

We came to visit our daughter who lives on Oahu. We all decided to spend a few days in Kauai. This property was terrific! Kimberlee was very communicative. Had a little mix up on arrival, but I really appreciated her responsiveness and quick remedy. The place was very clean, and I have extremely high standards for cleanliness. What I really loved were all of the extras that were provided. Beach towels and chairs, a small cooler, hiking poles, umbrellas, fins and more!!! You can really tell that Kimberlee loves her property and cares for the people who stay there.

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.

Nice stay in Princeville!

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.

Great place in Princeville!

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.

Great studio condo in Princeville

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!

Charming North Shore Cottage

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!

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 !

About the host

Hosted by Kimberlee Stuart

Host profile image
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.
