Rental Details

Rental Overview

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.

Kimberlee has a great little appartment with an awesome location! It was clean and well kept. We really enjoyed our stay here and even decided to extend a night which she quickly approved. She was always quick to respond and very helpful. Thank you so much Kimberlee!

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.

Our stay here was great! Kimberlee was so kind and generous to us as her guests; she was extremely responsive to questions and even provided us with some places to check out while enjoying our stay. The stay had everything listed and is the perfect set up for a couple staying on the north side of KAUA’I. Would highly recommend this stay, we will definitely be back!

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

Host was amazing and accommodating when we arrived a little later than expected. Very clean space and perfect for me and my fiancée to come and go while exploring the island. 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. Would definitely recommend this property and host.

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.

Kimberlee is honestly the best host! She is so personable and is there if you ever need anything! The place? Absolutely gorgeous! A beautifully remodeled and aesthetic place with AC, a full size fridge, a table and seating, nice kitchen and any appliances you need. Also, the thing that surprised me the most when both my fiancé and I walked in the door was the GORGEOUS large patio! Decorated with string lights, a little table and 2 chairs to have a nice meal and enjoy the outdoors, comfy seating, and overall amazing vibes. Kimberlee also provides a few extra things for you adventures in Princeville and beyond. She provides snorkels and flippers, beach chairs, boogie boards, and more. Not only that, she is prepared for the small situations as well. She provides umbrellas and ponchos (it was POURING rain on our last day and those definitely came in handy!), guide books, first aid kit, etc. 10/10 recommend this place! My fiancé and I plan to come back to Kauai for our honeymoon and will definitely be staying with Kimberlee here again :)

The condo has everything you need here! It’s so nice to not have to pack all of the beach stuff, umbrellas etc. The unit is very clean with nice decor. We loved being able to sit on the shaded balcony with plants all around. The area is superb! Very quiet and Very classy neighborhood . We love the North Shore. 10 ranking Thank you so much! We will be back as soon as we can to Paradise!!

This was the perfect place for us to stay for four nights during our North Shore adventure on Kaua'i, as first-time visitors and honeymooners. The studio was clean and serene. We looked forward to relaxing on the lanai for leisurely mornings and breezy evenings. The property is well-appointed for beach excursions and located in a great location close to groceries at Foodland, within walking distance to Queen's Bath, and a short drive to Hanalei Bay and the surrounding shoreline. Kimberlee was easy to communicate with and listed some solid recommendations in the property guide. We would come back in a heartbeat!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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 !

Kimberlee was a great host and her studio was a perfect stay for my partner and me. The communication and check in was all easy. A dedicated parking spot was great. The studio has everything you need for your stay. Kimberlee also had beach equipment for use which was very handy. The studio was comfortable and more than enough space for two people, with a nice balcony. There are plenty of restaurants just a short drive away. We were there in January so the weather in northern Kauai was kind of chilly, and the beaches aren't super swimmable in this area at that time of year apparently. If you are doing things in southern Kauai it may be a long drive (1-1.5 hours), just something to keep in mind. It's very close to Na'apali Coast park though. We'd definitely stay at Kimberlee's again if we wanted to go back to Princeville.

We were there on our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more perfect..The bed was soooo comfortable , cottage was very clean, it was great having a parking place, we got a chance to use the ocean toys and snorkel gear provided. We really enjoyed having coffee in the morning and a nice drink at sunset out on the lanai.The beaches on the North shore are wonderful and very relaxing. And there was plenty of supplies. As you can tell we can’t say enough about the quaint , comfortable cottage. Thank you Kimberlee we will definitely stay here next time we are on the island

She was so helpful and patient when I had to make some changes. The condo is amazing!! I have been to Kauai 3 times and this was definitely my favorite place. I will definitely be returning. I just love being in Princeville. It is so beautiful and peaceful. The condo is exactly as pictured but they don’t do it justice. The personal touches and plants made it feel so inviting. The outside patio is so relaxing. You will truly love this place! Thank you Kimberlee!!

If you’re looking to stay in the North Shore—this place will not disappoint! It went above and beyond our expectations, and had everything we needed for our week-long stay to explore and bask on the beaches of Kauai. The aesthetic patio/lanai was our favorite part of the place and we enjoyed slow mornings with tea and light breakfast. The apartment is conveniently located near beautiful must-visit beaches, historic areas, and delicious restaurants. Kimberlee is a fantastic host and did an amazing job making sure we were comfortable. She’s super accommodating and would love to return again for another stay in the future :)

The North Side is lovely. We chose the location for proximity to the Danali Coast/hiking which was amazing! We had expected/hoped the beach access to be better/easier but we did find our way to Sea Lodge Beach (thorough private property!) and Hideaways. Both are very steep climbs down/up and not for the faint-hearted. The studio was very clean and it was nice to have poles, chairs etc available. In terms of food, plan to have breakfast or light lunch as it is a little challenging to make dinner (although ordering in works).

What a great place. The nearness to the beaches on North Shore is excellent with ability to hike right from the place. Kimberlee was so great at communicating from start to finish. The only thing we needed was a bigger kitchen knife to cut up some of our Hawaiian fruit… we did not use the snorkeling gear as it was a little rough and rainy during our stay. All other gear was awesome….
