Kimberlee's place was very tastefully arranged and organised, with plenty of little attentions. The space was large for a one bedroom, and we found most of the comfort we were looking for. She was very easy to communicate with and the check-in and out processes were very easy.The only watchout we'd advise to keep in mind is that the construction, as is pretty common in Kauai, includes venitian blinds as walls to let the air in (when opened). This means the sound insulation isn't ideal (to no fault of the owner, it's just the architecture of the area), and since you're staying near a small road, you're likely to want to use earplugs at night if you're sensitive to noise in the evenings/early mornings. We did ok, and again it's a fairly standard construction standard on the island, so you're likely to find this in most places you rent. But better be a little prepared!

Just stayed for almost a week in Kimberlee's place in central Princeville. It was great! We travel a ton, so feel we have pretty good context to compare and this was a top notch experience. Kimberlee was a great host! Highly recommend this rental.

This was my fourth time staying in Kimberlee’s beautiful spot on the north shore. It’s has become an annual tradition. Her place is beautiful with tall ceilings in the bedroom and a private bath. The porch looks out over the eucalyptus trees on the gold course and it’s close to a nice walking path that you can take down to the water. Comfortable mattress and soft sheets, windows with beautiful view and nice cross breeze. But the thing I love most about staying here is Kimberlees’s generous hospitality. She is a wonderful host and always makes me feel at home. She has great recommendations for surf spots and is a kind and welcoming host. Even when my flight home was canceled, she welcomed me back for an extra night. I look forward to many more stays here at Kimberlee’s lovely spot! Thank you!

This was my third time staying at Kimberlee’s place in Princeville and us usual it was wonderful! The location is great being right in the middle of the north shore. The room is beautiful with tall ceilings, lots of windows providing a nice cross breeze. The bed is very comfortable and the sheets are soft. Access to a nice porch with gorgeous views of the golf course and mountains surrounding Hanalei. But what I love most is Kimberlee, she is the perfect host and always makes me feel right at home. She’s also a great reference for surf spots and beaches. I always enjoy my stay here and I look forward to many more visits here.

The host was responsive when needed. The property was conveniently located for our needs. It is nice to be able to hike to beaches.

My family and I stayed in Kimberlee’s rental for 10 days. This unit was not professionally cleaned (despite a hefty cleaning fee). There were pests on countertops and in silverware drawers, the owner had expired and moldy food in the fridge and the fridge itself was dirty. She claimed she didn’t clean a top shelf but the cleanliness and health concerns extended beyond a top shelf. There was a dishwasher advertised in the listing but it didn’t work and no one was sent to fix it. She offered for her granddaughter (since she was out of town) to do our dishes—not sure how many guests would feel comfortable contacting a host’s granddaughter to come in repeatedly during a stay to do dishes. Furniture was old/not maintained, the bed was uncomfortable, and the road noise was loud even with fans and a noise machine.
This is the owners home and half of the lanai is blocked with her belongings and there is limited closet/shelf space for travelers. The shelving available was broken. We expressed our concerns to Kimberlee soon after arrival and while she felt bad, little was done.
Since we were traveling a distance with an infant we wanted to avoid moving rentals but as the issues began piling up, we saw no other option. When we asked for a refund for our remaining dates, she denied our request. If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet getaway that meets basic health/cleanliness standards, please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Kimberlee's property is delightful! Waking up each day with coffee on the lanai overlooking the golf course with the mountains in the background was the perfect start to the day. A short drive to Hanalei Bay and walks to great beaches for snorkeling. Kimberlee provides beach towels and snorkeling gear - a much appreciated extra! Never had a problem finding a convenient parking space in the complex.
Everything about our stay was comfortable and convenient - this is a great value!
Thanks Kimberlee!

We enjoyed our stay at Kimberlee's home. Parking was ample, and check-in was easy. We appreciated the A/C in the bedroom. The shower had nice water pressure. The place is nicely decorated and homey. We did encounter a couple of small pests, but we tried not to be alarmed as that is pretty common for island living.
The location is central for the north shore--easy drives to Haena State Park, Hanalei Valley and Kilauea towns. It's also a lovely walk to the golf course where you can see sweeping views of the mountains.

Such a lovely self catering apartment with beautiful views and fresh open plan layout. Has everything you'll ever need and the best host ever! I'll be returning soon and would more than recommend Kimberlee as your first choice!

We came in sick and tired from a long trip from the Philippines and was welcomed with such an inspiring and comfortable stay. Kimberlee has a little gem here in Princeville. A home away from home. The space was shared with some of Kimberlee’s personal things which was the prior agreement and that was fine with us. Can’t thank her enough for this wonderful stay. Oh and the AC was so helpful. This space is for the open traveler interested in comfortable rest and beautiful experience.
