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.

Everything was beautiful and awesome! Host was very attentive to questions we had prior to arrival. Had a chance to meet her in person and she is very nice and grateful to have us.

This compact but perfectly equipped studio for 2 was just right for our needs for several days before meeting up with friends and moving to a larger venue. The overhead fan and light unit was not completely functional and the very heavy bedframe needed adjusting, but neither one of these things resulted in a significant issue for us. Kimberlee was very attentive and responded to emails and texts quickly. Overall this was a good find.Gail R.Westerly, Rhode Island

Aloha and thank you for supporting my small local business! I really appreciate your great review. I’m so glad those two “fix it’s” didn’t pose a problem for you. I appreciate the notice and have them repaired immediately after your checkout. So glad you found the unit equipped with all that you needed. I aim to please and make sure that the spot is comfortable and relaxing after a day of adventures in paradise. Thanks again, Kimberlee

Great location to explore North Shore beaches. Our host was most welcoming! Very comfortable accommodations. We slept so well! Our host provided great recommendations. Everything we needed for a relaxing stay and beach adventures was provided. We cooked breakfast and had takeout from the local Foodland. We didn't use the pool, hot tub or grill as we were more interested in the beaches but they looked good too.

We loved our stay at Kimberlee's studio. The apartment was clean spacious with plenty of room for our luggage. The lanai was perfect for sitting out in the morning with a cup of coffee and enjoying the bird sounds. Kimberlee and Malana were lovely hosts. We would definitely stay again. The pool area was relaxing and never crowded. We even had the hot tub to ourselves one night. We enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub and found the parking lot to be very convenient.

Aloha and Mahalo for your lovely words and praise. Aren't the birds great? Sometimes I have full 'conversations' with them whistling back and forth from our little tree top stay. Glad you caught the pool area so uncroweded at all. That's actually fairly typical. Wow! Stargazing from the hot tub. Malana and I truly appreciate all of your praise of our little family business, 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.
