Reviews
Rick(owner)was very friendly and responsive. As soon as I made him aware the keurig in our unit was shot we had another one delivered to our door within the hour! Our little studio was cute and well equipped.All cooking and cleaning supplies we needed were supplied. Shower stocked with nice shampoos. Towels for the pool too.Unit was very clean with comfy queen bed.We enjoyed the polar bear plunge in the facility pool as well! We were surprised it wasn’t heated over the winter, but it felt great having it to cool down when needed!Highly recommend Rick and his little studio. It’s perfect for a single person or couple to enjoy staying in the North shore for a few days!
How was very accommodating. The place was very cute and welcoming. Many things were supplied to make our time there feel like home.
Clean and comfortable
The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and a spacious fridge! We were close to the pool and parking was super easy. The bed was super comfortable, shower was great and the bathroom had more than enough. Rick left all the beach supplies you’d need, including snorkeling gear! Wish I sat out on the terrace more so we will definitely try to book this place again. The trail to the smaller private beach was fun but definitely wear good hiking shoes especially if it rained! Definitely would suggest booking here if you have a rental car since you’re pretty close to Hanalei Bay and Anini beach! Easy and beautiful drive to other remote further beaches as well. Overall a great stay!
Our stay was short but it was a very sweet place.
Condo was very clean and in a great location. The complex was quiet and well taken care of and within walking distance to the market square. Would definitely stay here again.
It was very clean and had everything you need. Clearly the owner cares about his home and his guests. A lovely location!
No air conditioning and to advertise no air conditioning
We would and will stay again! The location was perfect for us. Everything was clean and as described. Appreciate the attention to detail in all of his communications. If you read all the information he provides both in emails and in well-organized binder Rick left, you shouldn’t have any questions. I wish all hosts were as descriptive. Thank you!
Such a great stay, 10/10 recommend
Great location, nice condo, only issue no a/c, nights were a warm with just the fans. (But there were 4 of them!) Really great having beach chairs, umbrella ( which was broken, the screw in bottom portion stripped out so couldn’t drill it into the sand), snorkeling gear for 2. Nice it had a toaster oven for cooking and a big fridge and freezer.
Overall we were very pleased with the location, amenities and how comfortable the apartment was. Although the apartment is compact, the space felt open and offered a large private patio with a lush tropical view, in addition to a community pool. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The check-in and check-out instructions, property and parking access, use of electronic devices in the apartment were very clear and easy to follow. However, the modem was tempermental and we could not access or log-into our streaming apps. The amenities were beyond awesome - beach chairs, beach umbrella and towels were provided for two, along with a cooler and ample shampoos, conditioners and toiletries. The kitchenette offered a microwave, toaster and toaster oven. We highly suggest that a hot plate be included for boiling water for cooking food, along with a metal tea kettle. The plastic water kettle created bad-tasting water and we did not feel that we could cook pasta or rice with it. For the price and location, we give 5 stars!
*The property was cute, having perfect space for a solo traveler. My suggestion would be to incorporate a hot plate or an electric stove/ skillet to be able to cook.*The breaker would pop if I left the toaster oven on too long.*The tv could be more user friendly. It kept saying it couldn’t find a connection to connect. Otherwise the owners intrusions to using the tv were great. The pool hours stated in the owners FYI booklet were incorrect. (I didn’t have a pencil to leave him a note :( … besides the cooking stuff, great time and great place.
Everything was perfect! Exactly as described and expected. We greatly enjoyed this cute bungalow on the north shore. Highly recommended and would come back in a heartbeat.
It was a nice stay and the host had good recommendations for places to go and things to see!
Given that this is Hawaii and it is a Studio rental the condition , cleanliness and facilities were very nice
My wife and I stayed for a week. Location was perfect for all the activities we had planned. The drive to the other side of the island wasnt very long (about an hour) so on days we ventured to the southern part of the island it was no problem. Check in process was easy and the condo was well stocked. Would highly recommend this property.
Everything was great about this vacation rental experience. Rick, the owner was incredibly helpful as we set things up, and while we were there, genuine aloha... There were no big issues, but he was immediately responsive & helpful. The unit was exactly as described, extremely clean and comfortable, perfectly set up for 2 guests in a lovely easy to find spot. (We also appreciated good quality fans, and enough of them during a very hot weekend.) Rick also provides extremely helpful info in the unit with a great map, about what to see and do, exactly how to find places-so we wasted no time figuring things out. We already know the area very well, but imagine to a first timer this info would be priceless. He even suggested a few things/places were unaware of-mahalo! It was an excellent experience. We'd love to come again and stay longer...
It was a great location. Close to many beaches, including one real secluded beach just down the street. Close to grocery stores and amazing restaurants. Response time from owner was very quick. Great experience.
Our stay here was great. The property was beautiful, in a great location and easy to access. Rick communicated with us very well, he responded quickly and was very professional. This property was wonderful for my wife and I on our honeymoon stay, however there is no A/C so it does get hot.
Everything was just perfect 10/10
We had an excellent experience staying at this VRBO. Property was clean, had all the amenities you’d need, and was a great deal for the area. I would stay here again when I return to the island.
Perfect place in the best location on the island. We couldn't be happier with our stay.
We absolutely loved our stay here, and it was the perfect location for the northside of the island. The place was clean, stocked with what we needed, and an incredible valiue.
We loved our time in Kauai and in the Paniolo condos. The room was clean and Rick had all the kitchen supplies you could need. One piece of advice, read through the red folder when you check in. It wasn’t until the morning we left that I realized we had snorkel equipment in a box on the porch and I never got to use it!
Very nice place, full equiped and clean
The perfect, central location in Princeville! Clean, cute little studio. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.
Such a cozy, well appointed space!
Stay was just ok. Instructions and parking directions were helpful. Ok clean. Nice little deck outside. The bed was a little too small and hard for two people and the kitchen lacked a stovetop. You could hear the people walking around above us when we were sleeping.
Many Aloha
This condo is well supplied and comfortable. We really appreciated the beach chairs, cooler and snorkel gear! Bed was very comfy! Peaceful setting.
Great stay!
It was the perfect place. Clean and had everything I needed. Walking distance to Foodland and just overall beautiful. Perfect for a solo or couple trip no complaints
Rick was really responsive when we had a request. He let us check in early. The humidity caused us to need to hit a laundry facility half way through because the towels don’t dry very fast. An extra big POWERFUL fan would make it a little more comfy but it did cool down enough at night to sleep with the fans provided. Overall a really great stay, especially for the price. Location is nice. Thank you for the great stay.
This was a very comfortable place, very clean, with good access to the beaches, restaurants and other fun adventures on the North Shore
Perfect space for a solo traveller while in Kauai. Great stay, highly recommend. Host provided great instructions and information. Easy check-in and parking. Would stay at this VRBO again.
My husband and I just spent 7 days here. The host, Rick, is true to his word about wanting to create a space that is restful, well equipped, and comfortable. We cooked full meals here using the toaster oven and hot skillet, enjoyed coffee on the porch, and loved walking to the beach that was just 8 minutes away. Would highly recommend staying here - it was quiet, felt safe, and a great distance from a lot of good adventure opportunities. Thank you for an awesome week on Kauai!
good location, quiet and peaceful area. the house included all the necessary accessories for a stay of a few days. in line with other accommodations in the place that are not luxury hotels.
The apartment had all we need. It was very clean and the host was very responsive. Thanks for having us.
Easy to find with the directions and check in process after a long flight. The property was clean and very lively from people taking walks and cats and chickens of course. Defiantly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay on the north side of Kauai. :)
loft with a lot of amenities in a quiet neighborhood, near a beach and hiking trails
So much attention to detail.
Great location! Very convenient to Anini beach. Very clean, equipped with a good selection of kitchen gear (the French press and blender came in handy) and snorkel gear.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this compact condo! Rick has clearly gone to great lengths to provide everything vacationers could need from a small cooler chest for outings to a complete assortment of shower products and ample back up of tp and paper towels. The small kitchen set up was just right for prepping meals to cook on the grill by the pool. Overall great stay and we would book this unit again!
It was very clean and gives off a relaxing feel!
Rick was very helpful. He provides everything you may need for your stay, including beach chairs, a beach umbrella and snorkel gear!
the host has thought of everything. had a great experience highly recommend
Convenient location close to the market and restaurants and walk down the slope to Anini beach. Nice accommodations with lots of information and tips from the owner.
I had a great 5-night stay at this property. The host was very accommodating and I could tell that they put in a lot of thought to providing a comfortable stay for their guests. I had everything I could need and more. I really appreciated the beach chairs! Plus, it was in a great location! I would definitely consider staying here again if I return to Kauai.
I had a wonderful stay! Everything was tidy and cute and the neighborhood and proximity to cool natural places couldn't be better. I'll be coming back. Price can't be beat.
The studio is well equipped and very cute. We had a great time there.
Nice condo with everything we needed. Would stay here again.
The property was everything and more. Very clean and had everything you could want on a short trip to Kauai. Rick seems very organized and a great host. So grateful for everything.
We had an amazing stay and found the unit to hold everything we were looking for. We like to cook our meals so it was wonderful finding an affordable place to stay that had everything we needed to cook. We couldn’t get the TV to work but not a major concern. Highly recommend for couples or solo travelers.
It was great. Lowkey and easy!! Great weekend getaway from Oahu.
This property was perfect for our 7 day getaway as a base to explore the entire island. Cleanliness was a 10/10. I slept like a baby in the bed. Us Texans love our AC, but the amount of fans and windows provided made the room feel very comfortable. Very quiet and beautiful property grounds as well. For the price, you will not find a better place to stay in Princeville. Save your time shopping around. We will be back!
Our first time to Kauai! We are beyond happy with the condo and the host! The place has nice location in the north and was stocked with everything you could want. Very comfortable and peaceful. A perfect home base as we went out each day to explore this beautiful island! Thank you!
We were sick the whole time, so we had to stay in and didn't get to use the accomodations much
Location was great. Condo is thoughtfully supplied with mist of the extras one may need to make the most of their stay! Can hear everything sound neighbors across & above make though.
Rick’s place was cozy with all that we needed as a home base on Kaua’i. Great location in Princeville, with very good restaurants within reasonable driving distances. Rick even took my call at stupid early in the morning when I locked myself out of the unit and needed help finding the spare key! Sorry again, Rick!
