About this property

Modern Island Studio

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.

We had an amazing stay at this property! It is the perfect location to explore the north shore, and has on site parking. The property was spotless and had everything we needed - the beach gear was a great addition. We loved spending mornings on the spacious and well furnished lanai. Kimberlee and her team are so helpful and communicative, I’d highly recommend staying here.

Kimberlee has put a lot of thoughtful touches into this place. It has a great location if you’re planning to golf at Princeville Makai, and you’re less than 10 minutes from Hanalei Bay. We had everything you could need, including items to make our own food (which is nice when it’s so expensive to eat out in Hawaii). She also has snorkel gear available for use. The unit is close to the pool/hot tub and to parking, so you only have a short way to carry luggage.

My husband and I had an excellent stay in this cute little condo! Kimberlee was a gracious host and the unit had everything we needed. It may seem small but we especially loved that condiments were stocked in the fridge. The lanai was lovely, the bed was super comfy, the air conditioner worked great and the pool at the complex was perfect for us. The area was quiet but still close to amenities and multiple great beaches. I also enjoyed running along the golf course that was across the street from the complex. The fan on the lanai was also a spectacular feature along with the party lights! Thanks for an amazing stay.

Nice clean place . We love Princeville. Food was great. Everything was very close. Pool was not heated but the day we were there it was taken over by a birthday party.I was really hoping we would have a view of the ocean but that was a 10 min walk away.

Response from VrboOwner on May 19, 2026
Aloha and thanks for your review. I'll have to pass your great feedback on to my cleaners. They work hard and take pride in their good work:) I am very sorry about the birthday party at the pool! Parties are absolutely prohibited and I don't know how they got away with that except that we just got a new Resident Manager and he may not have gotten the message but he will now:). Yes the ocean views condo's reflect a much greater price but they also deal with lots of mildew. I do have a walking map for how to hike to all the beaches and will include some shorter walks to ocean views at your suggestion. Thanks again! Kimberlee

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.
