Comfortable Private Studio

Reviews

• Reviewer: Laurent

  Comments: We had a great stay at Erin's place. Even though we did not have the chance to meet with Erin in person, he was a great communicated and answered rapidly to all our inquiries. The studio is big, perfectly located and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the private Lanai (outdoor terrasse). There were towels and beach towels available which was very convenient. Hardly recommended!

  Comments: My niece Jia Lani and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to beautiful Kauai and our stay in the Princeville condo. The neighborhood was lovely and Dan, Erin and their nearby neigbors were friendly yet not overbearing, giving us our space and privacy. The studio is cute, clean, modern and though small, it has a light airy feel and been set up in such a way as to maximize space and comfort. We really enjoyed the nearby hot, bubbly jacuzzi and pool as well. It is a great North Shore deal for budget minded travelers who want their own space. Mahalo, Dan and Erin, we hope to see you again soon!

  Comments: We stated at Erin's for 3 days: the space was very private and cozy and had everything we needed. The layout isn't typical of an apartment - there was no kitchen per se, but there was a full sized fridge, along with a hot plate and other kitchen supplies if you want to cook in the suite. Alternatively, there is a BBQ in the pool area which you can use. The lanai was large and furnished, and a fan kept the room cool at night. There were also beach chairs, a cooler, towels for guest use, which was excellent. The suite itself was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The only downfall was the parking - if you didn't get there early enough all the non-reserved spaces were full. We got a warning for parking on the grass, with a message that we'd be fined and our tires booted if we did it again. Re: location - Princeville is a super posh resort area and you kind of have to drive to go anywhere cool (e.g. Hanelei) so we didn't love it, but it definitely depends what you are into. There are restaurants, shops and groceries nearby, and the suite is within walking distance to Queen's Bath and Anini beach (long walks, but walks nonetheless).

  Comments: Everything about the studio in Princeville met our needs. Erin was in contact with us before we got there, and was available for anything we needed once we arrived. The studio was clean, and all the essentials were there for us. We appreciated the beach towels, and chairs, as that cut down on things we needed to bring/rent. Also, the pool area was a huge plus, having a hot tub and bbq to use at night was a real positive...and having a wireless connection was key for my wife to keep up with her work needs. We also loved the lanai, very relaxing and comfortable.

• Reviewer: Andrew

  Comments: Small, cozy, comfortable and affordable little studio. The Airbnb description of the place is spot on with what you get. Place has a small kitchenette where you can cook basic meals for breakfast/lunch. A big dinner may be tough to do since you only have 1 hot plate to work with but there are a couple of grills at the pool that you can use to make a feast if you want. Location also is very good. It is less than a 10 minute drive from Hanalei Bay and just a few minutes from Princeville Shopping Center. You can also drive a few minutes or walk 15 minutes to the ocean, in particular Queen's Bath, which is a beautiful area - just be careful if surf is up and waves crashing high on rocks. You definitely need a car to enjoy the area, though, unless you're willing to wait for bus or good at hitching a ride. Overall, we were very happy with the place and would stay here again.

  Comments: Room was exactly as described. Private entrance, plenty of towels for beach/shower, great location on north shore, very soft bed, parking lot fills up fast, was forced to park in a reserved spot and woke up to a nasty note, luckily wasn't towed tho, enjoyed the guide books in the room and the sea shells that welcomed my arrival. Only complaint was a broken alarm clock. Would def stay again.

• Reviewer: Peter

  Comments: Dan and Erin were wonderful hosts! Our unit was exactly as described on airbnb. It was clean and comfortable. The wireless internet was fast! Princeville is such a wonderful place to be in! The lanai was spacious and the pool and hot tub were an added bonus! Had a great time staying at Dan and Erin's place.

• Reviewer: Karen

  Comments: The condo was as described and in a perfect Princeville location! The community has quiet hours that were respectfully observed, which made it a peaceful place to unwind at night. The pool & hot tub area are beautifully done and just a few steps from your door. The condo is a great deal for seeing the beauty of the north shore...convenient to charming Hanalei & Queen's Bath.

• Reviewer: Sher

  Comments: The studio was as represented in the photos and description. It was self-sufficient, well equipped, had towels and a small cooler for the beach. We did not meet the hosts; we had no need to ring them as everything went smoothly. The location is convenient and located in an apartment complex with families and children. We always found parking available in the lot near the studio without a problem. Thanks.

• Reviewer: Edward

  Comments: Nice studio. Very close to facilities, to Hanelei and beautiful beaches. Great pool, hot tub & BBQ available. Erin and Dan are very kind and were a very useleful ressource to give us advices especialy for the Kalalau trail ;-) Mahalo :-)

• Reviewer: New

  Comments: I loved the space! The studio did not feel small at all with the soaring wooden ceiling and the airy windows. The shower had great water pressure and actually got hot. A perfect location to explore the North Shore, I wish we'd had more time here. Would come back in a heartbeat!

• Reviewer: Marian

  Comments: Erins apartment was an excellent and safe area of Princeville. Great for our cousins wedding,which was just a mile down the road. Erin was communicative before our stay to recommend sites and places for us to visit. Apartment was a good size with all you need. Definitely keep your screen door closed to avoid getting bitten by mosquitos.

• Reviewer: Catie

  Comments: What a great place to stay! We went surfing, explored the Na Pali coast, ate amazing food, and went skydiving. All great location to this space. Exactly as described on the site. Had a little outside porch that we used at night to wind down. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: Our host Erin was present when we arrived. She was helpful when we asked for a second set of pillowcases. We expected a kitchenette as the property was listed as a studio. We were only able to heat water for tea in the coffee maker. It would be nice to have a hot plate . We didn't like washing dishes in the bathroom sink. The place was pretty noisy with noise from neighbors and the parking lot at all hours.

• Reviewer: Thaisa

  Comments: All was done well. Erin was gracious and welcoming. Location is great, access to beaches, etc.. Breakfast was easy, lunch and dinner best done in a local restaurant.

• Reviewer: Kendra

  Comments: Simple, comfy unit, just as described. My husband and I stayed for two nights at the tail end of a week long visit to Kauai. Honestly, we weren't there at the unit much, we just needed a place to sleep, shower, and maybe cook a little bit of breakfast or dinner. Who needs more than that in beautiful Kauai? There is so much to do and see! We left the unit early each morning, and always managed to be back to by 7 PM, so we didn't have any trouble with the parking. If we needed food after that, we just walked to the market or restaurants in Princeville. We couldn't get the electrical outlet near the sink to work (The most convenient for cooking, or hairstyling devices), but it wasn't important enough for us to contact the owners. It's an apartment complex, and just as you would expect, you can hear people talking and shouting to their friends and kids. Although we never met, directions from Dan and Erin were clear and easy, and all communication was friendly.

• Reviewer: Carolyn

  Comments: The studio was comfortable. There is no air conditioning so we were a little to warm, especially sleeping at night. The studio was clean and there were plenty of towels. There is an outside deck to sit and relax.

• Reviewer: Nils

  Comments: Perfect studio, very comfortable, spacious terrace, quiet, luxury residential well located to take advantage of Hanalei and northern Napali Coast. Excellent organization. In short, perfection!

• Reviewer: Sean

  Comments: This place was perfect! Good location. Only a ten minute drive down the hill to Hanalei Bay. Super close to Princeville shops for supplies. We cooked in the unit a few nights and had everything we needed. The place is way nicer and newer than the photos suggest. The bed was really comfortable and nice clean sheets and towels. We used the pool which was great and the lanai was also awesome to hang out on. Didn't hear a peep from the owners. Only their extremely well written and informative guest book. Would definitely stay here again. These guys have a awesome place!! Thanks for having us!!

• Reviewer: Olivier

  Comments: Nice place to stay. We enjoyed the large room and balcony.

• Reviewer: Meytal

  Comments: The studio is exactly as listed on the site. Comfortable and fairly convenient as long as you have a car. Parking is easy in the lot and the pool is right down the stairs and didn't seem to get too busy. We were able to use the grill there to BBQ one night and eat at one of the tables by the pool - although, there isn't really enough lighting and it gets buggy, so I can understand people cooking out and carrying back to their flats to eat. There isn't really any space in the flat to sit or eat though - that is one downside. For breakfasts we ended up perching on the sofas outside and using the corner of the table that is out on the lanai. Also the condo management seem quite strict so be careful about leaving your towels out to dry -- we ended up having to go home with a bag full of wet towels and bathing suits because there is no place suitable to hang them to dry. Other than that, this is good value for the money and you can drive easily into Hanalei (which is much more laid back than Princeville). Erin was a good hostess - generous and easy to communicate with, and the flat was clean.

• Reviewer: Jeff

  Comments: Thanks for letting us stay at your place! It was comfortable and clean, great landing spot for us as we started our Kauai experience. It feels great to sleep with the windows open at night. We appreciated the space and it is conveniently located to lots of beaches, trails, and restaurants.

• Reviewer: Denise

  Comments: Wir haben uns dort nicht so richtig wohl gefühlt. Alles war schon sehr abgewohnt. Das Fenster im Bad konnte nicht geschlossen werden und die Duschwanne und der Duschkopf sahen schon etwas eckelig aus. Das Toilettenpapier hat nicht gereicht und wir mussten neues kaufen. Küchenrolle gabs leider gar nicht. Die Handtücher hatten ihre beste Zeit auch schon hinter sich. Der Fernseher hatte keine Fernbedienung und das Bild war schlecht. Das Internet hat aber gut funktioniert. Es gab einen großen Kühlschrank mit Eisfach. Leider gab es drinnen keinen Tisch und keine Stühle an dem man essen konnte. Es gibt statt einer Klimaanlage einen Deckenventilator, der aber nach einer Weile nervige Geräusche macht, deswegen haben wir ihn nachts ausgeschaltet. Ohne ist es aber sehr warm. Die Fliegengittertür ist uns mehrmals raus gerutscht, die Balkontür lässt sich nicht vollständig schließen und auch nicht abschließen. Der Lamellenvorgang ist auch schon kaputt und man kann an einer Stelle durch sehen. Als wir uns mal ausgesperrt hatten haben wir nach einem Anruf schnelle Hilfe bekommen. Die Umgebung ist ganz nett. Ein Haus weiter wohnen Kinder, somit ist es morgens und abends etwas lauter,aber das hat uns nicht gestört. Wir durften während unseres Aufenthalts den PKW-Stellplatz benutzen. Wir würden dort nicht nochmal übernachten, aber wer keine hohen Ansprüche hat kommt damit vielleicht klar.

  Comments: The studio was perfect! Great location, clean, parking, safe. I really enjoyed my stay there. I highly recommend this space!

• Reviewer: John

  Comments: The studio was homely and comfortable and well-located. We didn't meet our hosts but access was easy via a code on a lockbox on the door. The studio was clean and the pool area was fantastic. We wish we'd found this place before staying at an over-priced hotel for a week!

• Reviewer: Norv

  Comments: Dan and Erin's place did the trick for its price point. Not a big place but had all the basics you needed for a relaxing vacation. Towels, pool/hot tub, and lanai were nice touches. Kitchenette, sliding door, and freezer door were a lil janky. Prime location for the north shore.

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: We were not looking for anything super fancy, as we knew we would be out and about on Kauai during our trip. This studio was clean, comfortable and in a nice group of condos in Princeville, minutes away from Hanalei Bay and beaches. The bed was very comfortable with warm blankets for the cooler, rainy weather at night. The owners were incredibly helpful and responsive with questions and directions. The neighboring units were quiet (we never even heard anyone!) and it was a very nice vacation for an incredible price! We will definitely come back again!

• Reviewer: Max

  Comments: Great hosts, nice place, and an amazing location. Recommended.

• Reviewer: Esther

  Comments: HIGHLIGHT: It is a full studio apartment with a hottub. You cannot get this kinda bargain anywhere else. LOCATION: great location in the heart of quiet Princeville. A really short drive away from Hanalei and Kilaeua, which is nice because these streets (with their lack of streetlights) get pitch dark at night. THE SPOT: Hot tub, which we took full advantage of. A private, comfortable and clean balcony complete with a couch (that is totally nap-able) and surfboards. NOISE/CLEANLINESS: Clean (even cleaner than things look in the photos). Walls are a bit thin and your host does live right next door, so no loud shenanigans. Pretty quiet apartment complex (with the exception of the roosters)

• Reviewer: Mike

  Comments: The listing was as described and quiet except for the roosters which are everywhere on the island.

• Reviewer: Brad

  Comments: Great place. Location was superb. Most of our time was spent on the road visiting destinations. If parking, try to get home early as after 8:00pm parking is scarce. Erin was sweet and accommodating. The pool on site was very convenient as well. (Just remember no glass by the pool) Tip: if this is your first stop on your trip make note that they have items to borrow on site during your stay. (Cooler, boogie boards, some sunscreen and towels) Cheers, Brad and Katheryne

• Reviewer: Molly

  Comments: It's a nice little room with a private bath in an apartment complex. It's right near the pool but you can't hear it from the room. I wouldn't say it's a studio, though, as it doesn't have a real kitchen. It's more of a hotel room-like kitchenette, although they do outfit it with some hotplates and whatnot. It was very clean and Dan and Erin were kind and helpful. Although they had a baby, as did we, I didn't hear much from next door and we all slept well.

• Reviewer: Lang

  Comments: This was a small unit, well-located in a quiet group of condos. It was comfortable for two with a nice bed and pleasant roofed porch overlooking the parking lot. It is perfect for someone looking for a convenient location and a good place to sleep at a low price. A pool, gas grill, and jacuzzi were on the premises. It is not a place for people who want luxury, to entertain guests, or cook indoors.

• Reviewer: Riley

  Comments: This rental was perfectly comfortable for two people. In fact, it seemed larger in person than I initially thought. Dan and Erin were very nice and welcoming. Also, the location is awesome, as we discovered the North Side and Hanalei Bay to be our favorite location on the island. Everything you could need (towels, silverware, a cooler, etc.) for your stay is already there, otherwise It's an easy walk to shops, restaurants, and a grocery store. Queen's Bath is nearby and fun to see. There's a pretty cool waterfall on that trail as well. Although to see the best waterfalls you'll need to hike a ways or take a ride in a helicopter! We really didn't hang around the rental during the day... We would leave early to beach it, hike, explore and come back at night to sleep. But for less active people, I think spending more time around these condominiums would be extremely easy. The noise level is fine, the pool is quality, the grills are brand new, too. Whether you spend lots of time at this rental or not, its extremely affordable and livable for two people. I give our stay five stars!

• Reviewer: Jean-François

  Comments: Nous avons passé une très belle semaine à ce studio. Dan & Erin ont été très sympathique dès notre arrivé. La ville de Princeville est très bien situé sur l'île de Kauaï alors les déplacements étaient simple. Tout ce qui a été promis a bien été livré et le balcon fût très apprécié également. Merci encore à Dan & Erin.

• Reviewer: Brandy

  Comments: Dan & Erin's studio was clean and had everything we needed for our stay in Princeville! It is located very close to Hanalei and North Shore sights. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay with them again :)

• Reviewer: Vaclav

  Comments: Great location on the North shore; no problem with parking. The apartment was very clean, as in the pictures. We especially loved the patio and the hot tub. We would recommend it. We enjoyed the stay here much more than in a similarly priced hotel on the East shore.

• Reviewer: Yuto

  Comments: An ideal place to stay for vacation! The town of Hanalei is only a short drive away with the beach and many places to eat and hang out. Room is clean and comes with towels, beach chairs, WiFi, basic kitchenware, and beach chairs. Comfy couches outside on the balcony, too. I never met the host, but contact via messaging was speedy.

• Reviewer: Ann

  Comments: I felt very welcome and comfortable in this condo. The neighborhood is excellent -- very safe and close to many good beaches, restaurants and stores. It was well-equipped with all the kitchen utensils, beach towels, sunscreen, beach chairs, brochures about activities in the area. Although the condo is a small studio, it is well-appointed and feels spacious, especially with the sliding door open to the porch. I would highly recommend this condo.

• Reviewer: Maree

  Comments: Bright, clean, spacious apartment. We felt comfortable and at home at this place. The location is a short drive to shops and restaurants. The owners also provided extensive tips on what to see and where is good to eat which was very helpful.

• Reviewer: Alexandra

  Comments: Very cozy studio, nicely located, perfect for a couple. It actually is better looking in person than on the pictures! The little terrace on the back is wonderful. Dan & Erin made everything very easy and enjoyable for us. Great experience overall.

• Reviewer: Douglas

  Comments: Great studio close to the beautiful north Kauai experience. Wonderful community with pool and BBQ available after a day spent in the natural beauty of Kauai's north shore beaches and trails.

• Reviewer: Martin

  Comments: We had lovely stay here! Thanks a lot.

• Reviewer: Allen

  Comments: Dan and Erin welcomed us with email messages and texts that were helpful and worked well. the neighborhood was good in parking worked well I don't remember hearing about the long stairwell going up to the door but it was ok. The first two nights of our stay we really wished we had air conditioning then the weather changed and it was not an issue it would have been nice to have a fan.

• Reviewer: Megan

  Comments: Erin and Dan have a great space in a good location! Exactly what I needed to rest my head at night and come-and-go in between activities. If you're planning on spending more time on the North Shore, this is definitely the right spot for you. It's 10 minutes to Hanalei and 25-30 to Kalalau Trail!

• Reviewer: Leslie

  Comments: Both of our hosts were very friendly and Erin made sure we had everything that we needed. The highlight of this studio was a nice warm shower and more kitchen gadgets than you could ever need. The location was good and their extensive directions were easy to follow in finding the place. The unit is up a large flight of steps and due to the arrangement and island style construction its not very sound private to other neighbors or the weed maintenance in the morning. Really appreciated the hosts.

• Reviewer: Kyra

  Comments: Dan & Erin were amazing hosts! We saw them a few times while we were leaving or coming back from our adventures on the island and Erin always checked to make sure all our needs were being met. As a side note, as with everywhere in Kauai, there are roosters and they can be a tad bit loud in the morning but this is nothing against our hosts! The room is actually quite a bit larger than we were expecting and was well appointed. There are enough kitchen gadgets to make any food you'd like and there are really nice grills out by the pool (which is literally right out your door). The stairway wasn't any longer than any other apartment stairway but it is a tad narrow if you have really large luggage. You do get very nice trade winds coming through and at night we actually found we needed to close the windows as it would get a bit chilly. There were a few days that the trade winds were gone but it didn't make the room unbearable. You are about a 5 minute drive from a Foodmart and about a 15 minute drive from Hanalei! The neighborhood is high end and you are right next door to a gorgeous golf course! We would definitely stay again!

• Reviewer: Kris

  Comments: The studio is great and the location is convienient for the north shore. There is a grocery store that is very close and the studio has all the kitchen things you need to make meals in if you so desire. We loved sitting out on the lanai in the morning and the evenings. Erin was super helpful and friendly. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Aaron

  Comments: We had a great time in Kauai and Dan and Erin's place was a good place to recover after hiking the Na Pali coast. The pool and hot tub were wonderful for our aching feet. It was a good launching point to explore the rest of the island - we drove to as many parts of the island as possible and were glad we chose to stay in the area we did. It was close to the things and places that we enjoyed the most during our stay. The space was comfortable for us, even without the A/C - there was a good cross wind that kept us cool enough at night and we were usually out and about during the day anyway. The only trouble we had was the neighbors dog - they must have had a new puppy or something but it didn't sleep through one of the two nights we were there, so neither did we. It would have been totally manageable except we needed to leave the windows open to keep the cross-breeze, so we couldn't shut it out by closing them. Someone left a note on their door, so apparently we weren't the only ones disturbed and hopefully it will be figured out soon. Despite that issue, we still give it 4 stars. As many others said, there were plenty of kitchen items to use, and we put them to good use with the amazing fruit available from the fruit stands around, and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai one evening as the rain fell and in the mornings with our tea as the sun came up.

• Reviewer: Elisabeth

  Comments: We stayed at Dan and Erin's place for a weekend and loved it! Great location (really close to Hanalei where we spent most of the time), and a perfect place for a weekend away. The place was very clean and it was nice to have a pool. We arrived late at night so we appreciated having Dan and Erin's detailed directions to their place. Would definitely stay there again.

• Reviewer: Geoff

  Comments: Great little studio in Princeville. Simply can't beat it for the price. The location is good, and there is a nice pool. No full kitchen (i.e. no stove) if you're into serious cooking (which I'm not), but it has a fridge and some kitchen gadgets which is plenty for me. This was my first time using airbnb and Erin made everything very easy. Would recommend!

• Reviewer: Sdf

  Comments: The residence was very nice; it was roomier and more livable than the picture let on. It had everything we needed to use as a comfortable basecamp for our activities on the north side of Kauai in between camping trips. Erin was friendly and accessible for anything we needed. Great stay, overall, and definitely recommended.

• Reviewer: Colleen

  Comments: The room was very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The lanai had a wonderful cross breeze. The location of the condo was convenient for visiting the North Shore and it was great to have such easy access to the lovely pool and hot tub area. Erin is a helpful and friendly hostess.

• Reviewer: Andrea

  Comments: We spent Two nights at Dan & Erin studios and it was ok. Is in princeville, next to Hanaley. It's quite big with a nice lanai , clean and well equipped. You can buy your own food and cook it if you want. There is just one missing amenity ... Hair drier but the rest is very good. They are very responsive and the let us check out a little bit later. In my opinion the north shore is the best part of the island, if you want to hike remember to be equipped and well trained, the trails are not for everybody. So Kauai is north shore and the studio is a right place to stay.

• Reviewer: Anne

  Comments: We had a very nice stay! The studio is comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the close proximity to many attractions on the north shore. Erin was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub in the evenings. We would definitely recommend this spot!

• Reviewer: Todd

  Comments: We were here for 8 days and had a great stay! This studio is definitely cuter in person than the pictures give away. Even though we were constantly driving across the island for certain activities, we were so happy we chose to stay in this area. It is absolutely beautiful and this location is a short drive away to some of the best views and beaches on the island! I imagine it might feel a little weird trying to do much cooking in the room, as it's not really an actual kitchen, but I was surprised at how many utensils were available if needed. There is a cute pool with bbq's if needed. If you're a light sleeper, I'd suggest bringing earplugs. You will definitely be hearing roosters at odd hours and the neighbor kids like to play outside in the mornings. If for some reason the power were to go out, there is an LED candle by the bed that's got some pretty major power, just an fyi. haha! Our hosts were pleasant, the price was great, and we would definitely stay here again!

• Reviewer: Bob And Barbara

  Comments: The hosts weren't available during my stay, but Erin left phone numbers and helped me find the condo and also when I had an issue with my pool key. They were always available and helpful. The studio is a completely separate and self sufficient space. It is thoughtfully appointed and a found everything that I needed. It's in close quarters with other condos, but also very close to the swimming pool and some very nice beaches. Shopping and restaurants are just a short drive away. It's a great place in a lovely area.

• Reviewer: Leila

  Comments: My partner and I got engaged on this beautiful Kauai vacation so their place will always leave us with fond memories. Dan and Erin's place was perfect for us and suited all of our needs and desires. We made use of the kitchenette which was super convenient. The lanai was perfect for relaxing with a beer during the afternoon rain shower. We would definitely stay there again!

• Reviewer: Nancy

  Comments: Le studio est dans un beau quartier tranquille. La piscine et le jacuzzi sont très agréables. Le studio est tel que présenté sur les photos, salle de bain privée et accessoires de cuisine disponibles. Le balcon fut très apprécié et le studio est bien situé pour visiter le nord de l'île. Nous n'avons pas rencontré les hôtes mais l'information disponible était claire.

• Reviewer: Ryan

  Comments: 1) PRICE: A very good deal! Comparable condos in Princeville can be much more expensive, and we found that this condo served our purposes very well. 2) COOKING FRIENDLY: We like to cook, and that’s why this was even better than staying at a hotel. There are conveniently located supermarkets in Princeville and Hanalei that made it very feasible to cook our own meals. At the condo we used the community BBQ (there are two) and within the room we used their hotplate, full-sized fridge, and microwave. They have plates and cutlery, but don’t expect any common household basics like oil, paper towels, and seasonings. 3) BEACH ACCESSORIES: They also have a small cooler that we brought to the beach and three beach chairs. They have two sets of towels for both beach and bath. 4) OTHER AMENITIES: Even though there is no AC, there is one ceiling fan that kept us comfortably cool. We also made use of the community pool and the room’s lanai/porch, which has a couch, multiple chairs and a table. 5) NOISE LEVEL: It’s a family friendly area and close to the pool, which means it’s not uncommon to hear children and neighbors through the window. On the other hand, this area had very few roosters (which in Kauai, is a rare find). We stayed at other places on the island and had many roosters wake us up, but this was not the case here.

• Reviewer: Sarah Thomas

  Comments: The perfect place when exploring the North Shore! Comfortable bed, great use of space and the perfect balcony to enjoy a few drinks in the evening. The photos don't do it justice. There isn't any air con but the fan did the job with the breeze from the balcony. I would recommend renting a car when staying on the island as there isn't much public transport and taxis are pricey. We loved it here!

• Reviewer: Lizbeth

  Comments: Our stay here was very nice. Great location, Queens bath is blocks away and Hideaway Beach is just down the street (def check out both if your are in good shape!). We ate in several nights after some grocery shopping at the super close Foodland but also dined out a few times. Hideaways Pizza was AMAZING. Super fresh food and fantastic service at the bar top. We were up early and out exploring all day long so the hot tub was very nice to have in the evenings for our tired bodies. The only downsides to this unit are by no means the owners fault. Be forewarned Kauai has lots of chickens! This goes for anywhere you stay. Bring earplugs to sleep with if you don't want a 4am wake up call from the dumb rooster who thinks its sunrise. This was to be expected, however the neighbors here have LOTS of children. If you are not an early riser be prepared for squealing and screaming at 7 am sharp. We used it as our alarm clock and didn't mind so much but they are LOUD. Everything else is amazing, lovely balcony clean bathroom tons of cookware and utensils. Would absolutely stay here again, you can't beat this price at this location! I fell in love with the north shore of Kauai 100%!

• Reviewer: Bobby

  Comments: Nice simple studio with kitchenette. Comfy bed, fridge, wifi, ceiling fan. Easy parking and central to north shore activities. Hosts were responsive to questions and provided all the details for the stay in advance. There were a few items missing I expected, like a kitchen sponge and (more than half roll of) toilet paper. No biggie.

• Reviewer: Christine

  Comments: This was a perfect place for our trip. The studio was spacious and very comfortable, the bed was large and had a great mattress. While we only made breakfast there, it had everything we needed if we wanted to do a lot more cooking (Glad we stopped at Costco right off the airport so we had very little food shopping to do while we were there). The balcony provided a lovely place to relax outside. My husband went to the pool and said it was great. The complex is very quiet. The parking is right off the unit. The location on the north shore is ideal, lots of trails to walk to, good beaches to relax and the St Regis Hotel right next door. Will rent there again if we go to Kauai. Thanks to the owner for making this place available and comfortable.

• Reviewer: Noelani

  Comments: Dan and Erin's studio was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a relatively inexpensive home base for that portion of our trip that was clean and comfortable. That is exactly what we got.

• Reviewer: Sara

  Comments: I loved the location of this condo. The pool and hot tub were great bonuses to my trip. The room was spacious, the lanai was relaxing, and everything was clean and ready for my arrival. The chickens can be heard in the morning, they're part of the experience of Kauai. No complaints at all! Perfect for a solo traveler like myself, I could see it being great for a couple too.

• Reviewer: Ciaira

  Comments: This is tropical living. I truly felt like I belonged on this island after my stay at Dan & Erin's! Although I never met with either of the two, communication was efficient enough and the directions to get to the property and inside the building were simple and easy to follow. The apartment itself was clean and had the basic amenities. No A/C which was no problem for me, as i had all the windows and doors open to get a nice breeze throughout the place. It's in a big neighborhood with lots of families throughout. Safe and clean and quiet. You need to drive a little bit to get anywhere like a restaurant or a hiking trail or the beach but that was well worth it; the sights on Kauai are unbeatable.

  Comments: We felt very welcome. We received detailed emails and there was a binder at the unit including everything we needed to know. It's in a good neighbourhood, safe and friendly. Thank you for an excellent stay.

• Reviewer: Lex

  Comments: We had a slight mix up with the key to get into the apartment but once we called Erin, the neighbour came to let us in and after a few hours the apartment was cleaned. Princeville is a good area to stay and the apartment is good for a couple, although if you plan to cook, it would possibly be better to find somewhere with a proper kitchen as this is better suited to making hot drinks rather than food. There is only one sink in the property which we found a bit odd, as you need to was your hands in the same place as you prepare food, but otherwise it is fine.

• Reviewer: Kirk

  Comments: The place was amazing, well furnished, large, a great temperature with just the fan, and very close to amazing views. Overall, we absolutely loved the place. As other reviewers have mentioned, be prepared for the chickens and other birds to wake you up early. They start crowing between 4-6AM and though it's possible to sleep through it, it's hard. I'd recommend earbuds! The apartment has an amazing porch with an okay view of the jungle, but a very comfortable and nice place to eat meals. Large bathroom, and living room. We had some issues with the hotplate (wouldn't work in a couple of outlets, so we had to cook on the floor), but other than that and the noise, it's a great place. Thanks for the great place!

• Reviewer: Candice

  Comments: Kauai is a magical little place and this location was perfect. The place is accurately described. I was only there 3 nights but found it had everything that I needed as I was only there to sleep basically.

• Reviewer: Christina

  Comments: What a gorgeous place! We had a great stay.

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: Dan and Erin were easy to get a hold of. Their directions to their condo were exact and easy to follow. The condo was perfect fit for us, single room with bathroom to the side and a lovely outdoor patio which was covered. Nice, relaxing stay. They have a binder to go through which lets you know more about the parking situation and when we had an issue with it Dan was quick to respond and help out!

• Reviewer: Nicki

  Comments: Great place for us to be close to all of the surf spots. Convenient, clean and basic.

• Reviewer: Kerry

  Comments: Erin and Dan provided an accurate description of their unit as well as directions to locate and access the space. They responded to our inquiry and other communications promptly. This was a good fit for us because we were able to make breakfast each day before we started on our planned activities. Thanks for having the grocery store frequent shopper card attached to the keys - we didn't have to "join" anything to purchase sale items.

• Reviewer: Alison

  Comments: Nice and clean space that looks like the photos. I'd been traveling for a while in Hawai'i and appreciated the fast wifi and Erin and Dan's clear directions about getting to their apartment and navigating the area. It's also a great location. For other travelers, I feel obliged to I note that it's a pretty lively community so between the chickens and the kids leaving for school, it's not a place that you can easily sleep late (though the bed is very comfortable). And while I appreciated having a fridge and many other small kitchen appliances provided, though found the lack of garbage cans (I realize it's to prevent pests, but having something I could put stuff in and then bring it to the dumpster would have been nice) and a drying rack a bit limiting in being able to use all the kitchen supplies.

• Reviewer: Beth

  Comments: We really enjoyed the location the barbecue the pool and the hot tub. Host was great about giving recs. for the area. Place was spacious and clean and nicely decorated. Lanai was best we've had. Parking fills up early and we had to park on grass. Our white noise machine was beneficial in drowning out outside noise.

• Reviewer: Jan

  Comments: Nice studio. Good location. Comfortable. Fairly well appointed with plenty of towels, including beach towels. The place was clean & spacious. Erin was easy and timely to work with. There is limited indoor lighting in the living area, so if you want to read it is a problem. Parking is a major issue. We never found a real parking spot but managed to find small corners to wedge our tiny rental car into except one night. I would love to see a small dining table with a couple of chairs rather than a single large easy chair and ottoman. The porch has a sofa, easy chair, & rattan chair upon which to lounge. This is where we had to do reading, as there is lighting there. The multi-use sink/food prep area was nice, although small for any real cooking. There is a full size refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, toaster, electric skillet, hot plate, coffee maker, and toaster, plus a couple plates, cups, glasses, tableware, and cooking utensils. We had to use an extension cord hanging down from the outlet high on the wall because the lower one didn't work. But everything worked out OK. There are two large frying pans to use, so plan meals accordingly. One pan is a badly torn up teflon, which I would never use, so I opted for the badly burned stainless steel. It cooked fine, just looked bad. The downstairs children are a great 7:00 AM alarm

• Reviewer: Todd

  Comments: The host was very helpful in the whole process (though directions were a bit vague on the final approach). The unit was very nice and met my needs completely. Location was perfect on the North Shore for my time in Hanalea and hiking the Kalalau trail.

• Reviewer: Lainie

  Comments: Easy directions provided for us. Great area of the island. Nice walking path down to ocean. Studio was comfy. Complex was a bit noisy until 10-11 pm, then settled down. Parking quite a challenge. Overall, good experience!

• Reviewer: Stephanie & Amanda

  Comments: Dan & Erin's condo met our needs, staying on the North Shore of Kauai. The location threw us off a bit, as it is nestled in a very nice community surrounded by golf courses and beautifully manicured lawns. While beautiful and convenient to much of the North Shore attractions, it had the feel of a retirement community therefore recommend this space to an older crowd or avid golfers, not necessarily young to mid age travelers. Contrary to other reviews, the kids and chickens were not a problem, as we were up early and stayed during the week, while the kiddos were in school however parking was definitely a thorn in our side as mentioned by a few reviewers. Additionally, the neighbors were less than friendly, as we overheard a couple unwelcoming comments (seemingly unaware that the room was an airbnb?). The actual space was great. Clean with some dishes and basic appliances and the porch was a great space to enjoy the morning cup of coffee.

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: The space was fine, lanai very comfortable. We didn't really know Princeville before--always avoided it--so this was a great place to use to explore it. Didn't run into owners, contact was good.

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: The place was actually much better than we expected, and more private than expected. It was well stocked with anything we might need for small kitchen essentials. We did not get a chance to meet the owners, but check in was simple and we didn't need help with anything. The location was great. Very near places to eat and shop, also a couple of nice beaches and queen's bath. Also great access to our favorite beach ke'e. We had a great time!

• Reviewer: Kevin

  Comments: Perfect place for two people! Located in a very nice place- and everyone we encountered were friendly. You can take an afternoon walk down the main road and you get amazing views where St Regis is located. Pool and jacuzzi was awesome after a long day of hiking. Also, having that lanai was a plus. Would definitely consider staying here again if I come back to Kauai.

• Reviewer: Tadd

  Comments: Directions and key exchange was super easy and done by email. Dan and Erin were very helpful. The neighborhood is in a great location. We felt very safe. The neighborhood was friendly and appeared exactly as pictured. Parking was easy and the beaches were very very close. The accommodations were economical and simple.

• Reviewer: Lee

  Comments: Dan and Erin's place was great - just as advertised. The private entrance/exit made coming and going a breeze and the room was large and very comfortable. Great spot on a gorgeous island.

• Reviewer: Julia

  Comments: Dan and Erin's place was absolutely perfect for what we needed ! The location was amazing with tons of beautiful beaches near by. The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and the lanai was a great added bonus. Would definitely stay here again. Dan and Erin were also super friendly and lovely.

• Reviewer: Ann-Katrin

  Comments: We truly enjoyed our stay at Dan and Erin's place. The apartment was exactly as described and everything was organized so well. We did not get a chance to meet the hosts but they arranged for us to get into the unit very conveniently. So everything was self sufficient. In our opinion the apartment was even better looking than the pictures here on Airbnb. We especially enjoyed the lanai and the small kitchen space. Even though it is not a real full kitchen we could always prepare our meals conveniently which saved a lot of money. Also the amenities like the hot tub or the swimming pool were great after a day of hiking. The location in Princeville is very convenient to explore the whole island with a rental car (in our eyes you definitely need one here on Kauai). Beautiful beaches such as Hideaways and Ke'e Beach are just a short drive away. Dan and Erin also provided beach chairs and enough towels which was very nice. Be aware that it can rain a lot on Kauai. However, we always found a way to enjoy our time anyway (for example on the nice lanai). All in all it was a perfect week in the private little apartment. We would definitely recommend it. Mahalo Dan and Erin.

• Reviewer: Indira

  Comments: Dan and Erin's place was a good homebase for driving to the various sites on the north shore. Princeville is very different from the impression I got from other parts of the island. Orderly, great for families with kidsand, tugged away in what feels like a gated community. Our hosts provided plenty of detailed information and instructions via email and in a binder. Loved the large fridge and shady balcony with a comfy couch.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: Dan and Erin were very nice hosts and a very interesting persons to talk to. They did everything for us to feel welcome which they achieved. The accommodation itself has everything you need and even more. Others complained about noise (children, roosters) we did not hear such noise at all, only some children during daytime. Also parking, which supposed to be an issue on earlier reviews was not trouble at all, lots of space available, also in the evening. We can definitely recommend the place.

• Reviewer: Margaret

  Comments: We could tell what we were getting from the pictures but I feel the place was very overpriced for a bedroom.

  Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dan and Erin's place. The space was comfortable, the lanai was cozy and the location was perfect. We would definitely stay there again.

• Reviewer: Dustin

  Comments: My wife and I spent one of two weeks of our honeymoon in Hawaii and wanted a place off the beaten path that was affordable and in a picturesque Kaua'i setting. Erin's second floor place had a cozy tropical cabin feel with a beautiful lanai (covered porch), and we opened the screen door to allow for a cross-breeze when the place got hot. The listing was exactly as described, including a full fridge, coffeemaker, utensils, towels, a huge shower area, Internet, and we had a great conversation with Erin about the region and Hawaiian lifestyle. We'll keep Erin in mind when we visit Kaua'i again to hike the NaPali Coast.

• Reviewer: Bhavana

  Comments: Dan & Erin gave very clear instructions for arrival. The room was very self-sufficient but it was comforting to know that Dan & Erin were next door if we needed anything. In the room, there was a great hiking guide book which was a fantastic resource. The full size fridge was very useful for us -- we stored lots of tropical fruits in it! And we enjoyed eating our tropical fruits on the deck outside :)

  Comments: It was so easy to check in - on time with everything clean and ready for us. We booked last minute and they were able to quickly accommodate our arrival which was greatly appreciated. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the wifi was fast. We loved the seating area on the balcony, the surprise discovery of a hot plate so we could fry eggs and the use of the pool/hot tub on property. They had beach towels available for us which came in very handy!

• Reviewer: Helene

  Comments: Le studio est situé dans un quartier résidentiel. Il a un grand balcon et nous avions accès à la piscine et au jaccuzzi qui était fort agréable. La cuisine est très petite et pas évident de cuisiner. Nous avons dû acheter le nécessaire pour laver la vaisselle. Même absent de l'île Erin a répondu rapidement à toutes mes questions. Le studio est confortable.

• Reviewer: Brittanee

• Reviewer: Bernard

  Comments: Directions were perfect. Check-in was easy. We never used the pool or BBQ area, but it always seemed to be active. I could see parking being an issue if the property was busier, but not something that would have stopped me from renting this place.

• Reviewer: Cindy

  Comments: We didn't meet Erin or Dan, but the studio apartment was exactly as advertised and is very well situated for activities on the North coast. If you plan on cooking, there is sufficient kitchen equipment but very little prep space and no table and chairs. The sink is shared with the bathroom. Eating on the lanai on the comfy sofa and chair is pleasant and works fairly well, and the community hot tub is great!

• Reviewer: Jerome

  Comments: All in all, we thought it was a very good value. The room was accurately described, although it should be noted that it is a second-floor studio with access only by stairs. It was clean, reasonably spacious, and well located on the north shore, although not within walking distance of much, which is true of pretty much all of Kauai. It is relatively close (about a mile) from the only shopping center in the area. The hosts communicated well, and everything met our expectations. In particular, it was very fairly priced, which is important for someone on a budget. The lanai was very nice to sit out on. There is also access to a pool, which we did not use. The room includes a refrigerator and microwave, but there really isn't a kitchen (there are lots of kitchen utensils, including plates, glasses, cutlery, a coffee maker, etc., and a hot plate which we did not use). There also really isn't a table at which to eat. There are grills next to the pool which we believe can be used and would probably be better than trying to cook in the room. There is a single sink outside the bathroom. The bathroom itself was fine, with a good shower. The hosts supply four bath size towels (two for the bath, two for the beach), but they are getting old and could be replaced. They also supply two beach chairs, which were very much appreciated. There is no real closet, but there are hangers and hooks on which to hang things. There is adequate drawer space for things that don't need to hang. Our only real issue is that several slats were missing from the vertical blinds on the door to the lanai, reducing privacy. Also, there is limited parking -- if you expect to be out late at night, it may be a problem finding a space when you return. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

The home was clean and had everything we would need for a perfect stay. The neighborhood was calm and quiet and the complex had a really nice pool and hot tub to enjoy. I would definitely recommend staying here.

• Reviewer: Nathan

  Comments: Quaint little apartment with just what we needed. It's located in a nice area and felt secure. We were able to cook a few meals using the hotplate and cookware provided. There is not a full kitchen but we didn't need that. The lanai provided a nice spot to hang out in the evenings and enjoy the warm weather. Overall, a perfect little place for one or two people.

• Reviewer: Sue

  Comments: Our stay at Dan & Erin's place was great. The private studio had everything we needed and I loved sleeping with the cool breezes flowing through. It is only a short drive to beautiful Hanalei, which has a great vibe, spectacular beaches, shops and restaurants. Princeville itself has some wonderful eateries and a fabulous shopping center that is a comfortable walking distance away. The studio is clean and cosy, in a safe area, exactly as described.! The pool and hot tub an added bonus. Highly recommend seeking out the Happy Talk Bar at Hanalei Bay Resort for an ice cold beer, the staff are brilliant! Mahalo Dan & Erin we loved Kauai!

• Reviewer: Celia

  Comments: Dan and Erin's place was a very cute and clean studio. It had everything that we needed from kitchenware and a grill down in the pool area to even a small cooler that we used everyday for beach trips!

• Reviewer: Charles

  Comments: The location was terrific in terms of getting to some really nice beaches on the north side of the island. Very convenient to the shops as well. The kitchen facilities are a bit awkward If you like to prepare your own meals as opposed to dining out. I value a quiet place during the evening and I was pleasantly surprised that the complex was very quiet after 9:00pm. Most appreciated. All in all, the location and value make this a good stay.

• Reviewer: Nathan

  Comments: Dan and Erin were not on site but communicated everything clearly and were very quick to respond. After being in Kauai for 10 days we could not imagine staying anywhere else. Princeville was and absolutely perfect location for everything we wanted to do on the island and the room was exactly what we needed. It was comfortable, clean, and in an extremely quiet community. It's right down the road from dining and shopping and a short drive to Hanalei, one of the best neighborhoods on the Island. We really felt at home in the studio and couldn't be more pleased with our choice.

• Reviewer: Ronald

We loved our stay and would definitely book this again!

Comfy, comfy bed and clean. The second floor outdoor balcony is so nice - has a comfy couch, great for morning yoga. Oh and the pool / hot tub is close and AWESOME, nice and warm, 3-7 feet deep. Would love to stay here again! :)

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: The rental unit was as described for the most part. The "amenities" within the unit, specifically the kitchenette utilities and utensils, were fairly outdated. However, the pool and location of Dan and Erin's place was worth the money! My husband accidentally broke a plate while washing it, so I messaged our hosts immediately. They did not seem concerned and for that, we are so gracious. Although we did not meet the couple, their level of communication was unmatched. They made check-in and out a breeze, and responded quickly when messaged. Mahalo! :)

• Reviewer: Jordan

  Comments: Dan and Erin's place is a cozy and comfortable second floor apartment in a very quiet neighborhood in Princeville. It had everything my partner and I needed. We saved a little money and cooked dinner in the apartment a few of nights we stayed with the electric rice cooker and hot plate they had provided. Perfect! The community pool, jacuzzi and BBQ grills were all a very nice option for us and everyone we met in the complex (just a few) were super friendly and either retired, vacationers or families. Best part of their place is the breezy balcony and plenty of drying hooks for all of your wet things. Super timely response and communicative to the one question we had (where's the pool key? near the door of course!).

• Reviewer: Daiana

  Comments: This place was great. We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is nice and cozy and the location is fantastic. You are close to all the most beautiful places along the North Shore of Kauai. Keep in mind that you need a rental car to get around, but if you have one, you can basically get anywhere on the island in a short amount of time.

• Reviewer: Jamie

  Comments: Thank you Dan & Erin. Princeville is a beautiful location. Make sure to rent a car to get around the island with ease, the beauty will take your breath away. The studio was small, comfortable, clean, quiet and easily accessible. All the necessities were provided and we had great communication from Erin, although our hosts were not on the island during our stay, we were able to check in and out with ease and had no problems throughout our 9 day stay. We thoroughly enjoyed barbecuing at the pool and spa and sitting on the lanai drinking our coffee every day. We will be back again!

• Reviewer: Jennifer

  Comments: Dan and Erin's studio is exactly as promised. It is clean, comfortable, and very relaxing. The bed is super comfy and the mornings are cool and quiet! We enjoyed the location and easily visited the nearby beaches and Hanalei town. Unfortunately, we were out too late to make it back in time to thoroughly enjoy the nice public hot tub (closes at 9pm). Dan and Erin were easy to reach and responded to questions promptly. I am grateful for their flexibility when I had to make changes to my itinerary. I would love to return to Kauai soon and hope to stay in their place again!

  Comments: Good location, everything was as described, parking can be a bit of a challenge a times, it is noisy early, so no sleeping in. Good value for the price.

• Reviewer: Natasha

  Comments: This is a nice little studio at the heart of Princeville. The location is all one could ask for. Hosts have provided most of the amenities including every little thing one might need for cooking meals but there is really not any space to make use of all that. There isn't a dedicated parking spot. We were a little disappointed with the cleanliness. There was dust all over, couple of unclean towels, utensils, dirty shower floor and curtains. The place missed few basic necessities like hand soap, kitchen towel, tissue paper. We were informed of missing toiletries when asked so we were prepared accordingly. Shower is low for tall people. There isn't any closet space in the entire studio.

• Reviewer: Duncan

  Comments: The stay started on a bad note as we had a check in time of 3pm but were unable to get ahold of the hosts and couldn’t actually check in until 6:40pm which changed our plans for the evening/night. This was unprofessional and disappointing. When we did get the access code to check in we arrived to a lovely studio apartment with a nice balcony area. The studio was very small but had everything we needed. We ultimately enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. I hope the communication issue is taken as constructive criticism and they fix that bit.

  Comments: Great place! The studio itself is perfect! The only draw back is the complex has a lot of people and they were loud at times. We also had no luck getting into the hot tub because it was being heavily used or closed for cleaning. But overall we had a super positive experience and would definitely come back!

• Reviewer: Deanna

  Comments: We appreciated having access to the space for the duration of our stay. It was adequate for our needs and was mostly "as advertised". There were, however, a few things that would have made our stay more comfortable (ie, sufficient enough toilet paper, clean towels [towels smelled of being wet in a washing machine for too long], more hooks or racks to hang things on, sharpened knives, a dish sponge/brush, dish soap, shower soap, a deck of cards etc.). The hosts were responsive when we asked about the toilet paper and clean towels; the neighbor brought us one more roll (three rolls for a nine day trip for two women) and washed/dried the towels for us. Overall, the space was sufficient for our needs and accurately advertised, but certainly didn't provide any extras to make it more comfortable/homey.

• Reviewer: Renata

  Comments: Erin's place is a great self-contained studio in a residential area (the pictures don't do it justice)! It is an ideal spot for exploring Hanalei, the Napali coast and the occasional trip to Lihue. We loved having breakfast on the covered balcony each morning!

• Reviewer: Kris

  Comments: Dan and Erin's was an A+! Huge bang for your buck in terms of what you're getting for going rental rates on the island on AirBnB! If there is any downside at all it's that the location is a bit of a drive from the airport on the South Shore end, otherwise everything was exceptional. Pool/hot tub area on site is far nicer than even the pics posted in the listing give it credit for! Relaxing spot to wind down each night before heading off to sleep. The shower area is spacious! Very big advantage when washing all the sand off from our beach adventures each day! Hot water availability was never an issue. Porch area is a nice amenity, unfortunately it's not screened in so mosquitoes were plentiful out there at night given the time of year we visited (early April) as things were rather damp outside all trip. All necessary amenities were exactly as listed (if not better). Beach chairs and beach cooler were an added bonus that we got full use out of every day. Place is fairly easy to find and parking was never an issue. Cannot beat the price for those looking to get a taste of the North Shore life, as it was only a 5-10 minute drive up to Hanalei Bay and all of its little store fronts/restaurants. Very outdoorsy, more scenic part of the island compared to the other parts and we explored it all! We would stay here again and certainly recommend to others looking for a nice place to simply lay your head at night at an affordable rate!

  Comments: Nice neighborhood (neighbors were a bit loud at times but not constantly) , pool/BBQ area was a nice plus too. The studio itself was falling apart in places/dated. Coffee maker didn't work, screen door and a few other things didn't work properly. It was clean and they did have a blender, toaster, fridge, pot and pan which made it helpful for eating in. Nice outdoor deck where you can eat and watch the rain. :)

  Comments: Dan and Erin are were quality hosts. They're both relaxed and offered good advice when we talked with them about local spots, issues, and everything in between. Their kids were adorable and brightened our day every time we saw them! My wife and I found walking and public transit to be an awesome way around the Princeville and Hanalei areas (we enjoyed slowing down; Princeville shopping centre, Queen's Bath, Hideaway Beach, and a bus stop were all within a half our walk of their place - albeit in different directions). Be prepared to wait for the buses. Any other adventure you are looking to have will likely need a rental car.

  Comments: ***STAY HERE*** You won't find a better value for such a beautiful place in Kauai. This was my third visit, second time staying in Princeville. This studio is in a gorgeous area! We loved that there was a full sized fridge so we had plenty of space for all of our food/drinks/frozen items. (We made a trip to Costco right after the airport). We used the coffee maker everyday. There were sugar cubes there for our use as well. There is a hot plate which we used several times, another plug in skillet type pan as well which we used multiple times. There was a blender, toaster, I think a rice cooker as well. We cooked at home everyday, it was awesome and definitely a money saver. There is a pool/hot tub/bbq area just steps away from the studio. You MUST bbq! The bbq's are really nice and the pool was awesome. I reget not spending more time in the pool. Hideaway beach is my favorite place on Earth and it's just minutes away from here. The lanai (patio/deck) is amazing, it was a major added bonus. We really enjoyed spending time out there everyday and it's an awesome place to eat breakfast. There wasn't AC which surprisingly was not an issue for us at night. You can keep the sliding door open (with the screen door shut) and there are shutters beside the bed as well as a ceiling fan. We had no issues sleeping! I struggle with sleep normally but I can honestly say I had some of the best sleep in my life here. A couple of tips - bring your own bar soap/soap for washing hands because there was only a small dish soap. I read previous reviews very carefully so that I could be fully prepared for our stay and someone else had said there wasn't soap. I packed dish soap, hand soap, roll of paper towel, some ziplock bags, and a dish sponge (I didn't see any dish sponge for doing dishes in the studio so I'm glad I brought one) You can easily buy stuff when you are there too, but nothing beats hitting the dollar store and just packing a few things. If you enjoy cooking as much as we do AND if you are checking in some luggage at the airport, I highly recommend packing a couple of your go-to chopping/pearing knives. The ones in the BNB are very dull, but we made it work! I could go on and on about how awesome this place is. I've stayed in Princeville down the street at another studio and it didn't have nearly as much to offer as this place did. I can't wait to come back to Kauai and I would 100% recommend staying here. Mahalo!

• Reviewer: Alex

  Comments: Great value. Really nice place to stay for a few days.

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: The apartment is clean, spacious, and in a great location close by to Hanalei. We loved that there is a BBQ, pool, and hot tub available. It is a bummer that the apartment complex requires guests to leave the pool area at 8:45pm because we would have liked to use it later. Overall we’d recommend Dan and Erin’s at Sandpiper Village.

• Reviewer: Clay

  Comments: Great value for the area. Would stay again. There was a few things we would of liked better but for the cost I can deal with it. Great value

• Reviewer: Michèle

  Comments: Nice place. We appreciated that we could cook small meals. The place was clean. There were a few things that we could borrow to go to the beach. I would recommend this place.

• Reviewer: Ceung C

  Comments: Wow! Great place to stay in the northern shore of Kauai! The appartment is big en the patio was great for breakfast. The swimmingpool was a surprise, it was better than the online pictures. We left 4 beers (2 glass + 2 cans) in the fridge for the next guests. We’ll stay again in sandpiper village if we go to kauai! We had lots of fun! CC

  Comments: Dan and Erin were excellent hosts with a very clean space. The private lanai was a perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning and having access to the pool/hot tub was great. Very friendly community. Local tips/recommendations were awesome and helpful in deciding our daily adventures. Super close to St. Regis for a beautiful sunset cocktail!

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Lovely studio with balcony in the quiet and green heart of Princeville. Near to Hanalei Bay and Na Pali Coast. Very nice place to stay especially with family and kids, pool area accessible and shopping area with large super market 5 minutes away. I would highly recommend staying at Dan & Erin's place!

• Reviewer: Katie

  Comments: Dan and Erin's was just as listed, a simple studio with basic amenities for a great price. There is no AC but the fan was usually okay- not sure how uncomfortable it would get in summer though, especially if you get hot easily. Otherwise they were very communicative and helpful, and gave lots of recommendations for the island.

• Reviewer: Colleen

  Comments: Great location, bring your own toiletries, hair dryer, coffee filters and wine opener. Great value for the $$$.

• Reviewer: Alex

  Comments: Large space for a studio. Not a full kitchen, but everything we could think of was there to cook meals. Hosts are friendly and provided a lot of tips and suggestions for what to do on the island!

• Reviewer: Ryan

  Comments: The location was great. The lanai was relaxing. The pool/BBQ area is great and even had wifi. Check in was very easy and for the most part the place was very comfortable. We did not sleep well on that bed and the pillows were very thin. We had to buy a wine opener and toilet paper so hopefully the next people get to use it.

• Reviewer: Joe

  Comments: Fantastic stay for a superb value. Mahalo Dan and Erin for letting us stay. Happy New Year

• Reviewer: Colly

  Comments: Great location and value in princeville. Spacious for a studio, nice to have a deck as well. Bit noisy only because of close quarters in the condo complex but excellent budget option for the north shore.

• Reviewer: Derek

  Comments: Good value for money. We didn't use any of the amenities at the location. Check-in was easy. Hosts were responsive when contacted. The oft-cited parking issue was not a problem for us since we were out early and back by 8pm during our stay. No air conditioning but the ceiling fan was sufficient for our January stay. Overall good value for the money.

• Reviewer: Rene

  Comments: Nice and quiet place to stay when you want to visit the north shore. Great swimmingpool with BBQ’s. Be aware that the road is closed after Hanalei, so you can’t do some tracks over there or visit some beaches
