  Comments: Michael and I loved staying with Paulina and her family! They were so accommodating during our stay on the North Shore and made our last few days on Kauai very enjoyable. The location of the house is great, right in the heart of Princeville and only a few minutes drive to Hanalei. We spent most of our time at the beach and also enjoyed a beautiful sunset at the St Regis Hotel, which is just right down the road from Paulina's house and provides incredible views. We will definitely keep in touch with Paulina the next time we come to Kauai, and I recommend her hale to anyone looking for a welcoming and wonderful stay on Kauai's north shore.

  Comments: The room was clean and nicely set up. Though we stayed only one night- I can easily see myself staying longer. The bathroom was right next to the room and clean with nice towels. Paulina was very hospitable and the house was easy to find. Great location for North Shore exploring!

• Reviewer: Yevgeny

  Comments: My girlfriend and I needed a place to stay before backpacking the Na Pali coast and found this little gem. The place was easy to find, clean and cozy. Paulina was very responsive and provided everything we needed.

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: My husband and I stayed at Paulina's place before backpacking the kalalau trail. Paulina was great! She was quick to respond to all communication. Both her and her husband were very friendly and happy to provide suggestions and answer our questions. The bathroom is shared with the other air B&B room that she rents out which was perfectly fine with us and fun to chat with the other couple. Everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable! Thanks so much!!

• Reviewer: Stephane

  Comments: We had a great stay at Paulina's home! great welcome and very good tips! Well located on the North Shore , not far from Hanalei bay where you have many options to surf.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: Neighborhood was really nice and Paulina was very nice and accommodating. Made us feel right at home.

• Reviewer: Luke

  Comments: Our Kauai experience was greatly enhanced by our host's interaction and assistance. Paulina and her family personify the island's aloha and ohana spirit. Thank you Paulina and Harry! My daughter and I take home a better understanding and appreciation of just why so many people love your beautiful island. It's not only the picturesque beauty but the people. Mahalo...

• Reviewer: Ivan

  Comments: Thank you, Paulina for sharing your home with us and letting us be your guests for a week!

• Reviewer: Allie

  Comments: My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay with Paulina on Kauai. Her and her husband were great hosts and gave really helpful advice on where to go and what to see. We were able to visit the Queen's Bath, Turtle Cave, great beaches and beautiful hiking trails all in two days since the location was so central to these activities. The room is located in a private area of the house with a separate entrance from the main one and the space is shared with one other air bnb room, which could be great for travelers with four guests. We had a great time and would definitely stay with them again the next time we make the trip back.

• Reviewer: Dike

  Comments: We stayed here for 5 nights, and Paulina and Harry were wonderful, gracious hosts. They loaned us beach chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards for our entire stay and gave us great information about nearby beaches and places to eat. The room has a private entrance that is shared with another rental room and bathroom. Very comfy bed, peaceful nights. Thank you so much!

• Reviewer: Deborah

  Comments: Pauline and Harry were very welcoming hosts. Beach towels, chairs, boogie boards all available for use as well as laundry. Location good for north and central coast.

• Reviewer: Roz

  Comments: Paulina made me feel very welcome. She is polite and willing to give information. The listing was accurate. I was surprised to find that Princeville was such an upmarket area with manicured gardens and absolutely beautiful homes. The 2 rooms underneath her house were perfect. Lovely towels and a drier which was great! Own entrance and about a 15 minute walk to Princeville Centre for shops, groceries, restaurants and a bar. You need to walk to the centre in order to catch the local bus which leaves from the main highway. That's if you don't have a car. A 15 minute walk to Queens Bath. I would highly recommend staying at Paulinas.

• Reviewer: Kathleen

  Comments: This was our favorite place we stayed on Kauai! Paulina and her family were very welcoming and provided us with an oasis in between hiking, snorkeling, and all the other outdoor activities on the island. The room is quiet and has a private entrance and a deck outside. There's also a small kitchen with a coffee maker, dishes/silverware, and fresh fruit so you can comfortably have home made meals!. I will enthusiastically recommend this place to my friends and family traveling to Kauai.

• Reviewer: Eric

  Comments: The room was nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. It's was just as described in the listing. Paulina and Harry are super friendly people, and wish we could stay more than one night. Mahalo

• Reviewer: Cynthia

  Comments: They are very friendly and nice, the room is very clean, very good.

• Reviewer: Crystal

  Comments: In a great area! Close to Hanalei Bay, tunnels beach and Na Pali coast. I stayed in the room closest to the front of the house, amazing breeze, clean and big comfy bed. There is a small kitchen with a mini fridge, a single electric stove top and coffee maker. There are grocery stores in the area. I highly recommend Paulina's place.

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: Casey's place was very nice and welcoming. The price is great as is the location; close to many things in Princeville and in a lovely neighborhood.

• Reviewer: Jo

  Comments: Paulina and Harry are awsome hosts. The room as well as the little kitchen, the bathroom and the lanai are super sweet, very clean and nice located in sandpiper village. We felt comfortable from the first minute on. Also our little one was in paradise, since Paulina is well equiped with baby and kids toys :) Thanks very much for lending the surf- and boogie board (and the very good surf lesson by Harry), the invitation to the Easter Saturday dinner and the nice conversations. It was a pleasure staying at your place. We would do it again immediately :)

• Reviewer: (Email hidden by Airbnb)

  Comments: A convenient location to explore the north coast. Keep in mind that there's a family living upstairs and the bathroom kitchen/lounge is shared with another room of guests or family. Harry and Paulina are very welcoming and helpful. Great if you want to be able borrow the surfboard or kayak and go down to Hanalei Bay.

• Reviewer: Justin

  Comments: Such a beautiful home! Very spacious rooms. Paulina and her family were awesome! Super friendly and very accommodating. Being able to use they're surf boards was such a luxury! I'd highly recommend Paulina and her ohana!

• Reviewer: Nate

  Comments: Paula was very kind in welcoming my wife and I into her home. Her location is in a great little neighborhood in an ideal location on the North end of the island. She was generous to offer beach towels, chairs, surfboards, snorkel gear, kayak, and more. We had a great stay!

• Reviewer: Lee-Sean

  Comments: Paulina was unable to greet me when I arrived, but she gave me a thorough walk-through of the property on the phone. I did end up meeting her in person later on in my stay and found her friendly and helpful. She told me about a "secret" beach in the neighborhood that (Hidden by Airbnb) Maps alone would not have revealed to me. Another plus is that the place is even nicer than it looks in the photos. The Princeville neighborhood is quiet and suburban, a mix of homes and hotels, with easy access to beaches, a grocery, and restaurants.

• Reviewer: Alex

  Comments: We had a great stay! Unfortunately it was only one night. They have surfboards that we were able to use and helped us tie them on our car! Very clean and comfy bed and a convenient kitchenette.

• Reviewer: Corina

  Comments: Very friendly and open family, beautiful house and nice place to stay :)

• Reviewer: Ilana

  Comments: Great hosts, very friendly and helpful! They supplied us even with surfing gear. The one night we have stayed there, they really made our stay comfortable!

• Reviewer: Bethan

  Comments: Paulina and Harry were great hosts, they made us feel extremely welcome and were very generous, allowing us to borrow a surf board, bringing us fresh fruit from their friends farm, and always greeting us with a smile. We were there with our six month old son, and since laundry is a huge part of having a baby it was very convenient to have unlimited access to the washer and dryer. The bedroom was large enough for our travel crib and our belongings, and the sitting area/kitchenette area was a good size. The only drawback would be if you were wanting to cook a lot of your own meals as the fridge is very small and its not possible to buy much and store it, and there is limited facilities for cooking, but we were easily able to make breakfast daily, some lunches, and a few dinners as well. A great location in princeville, walking distance to queens bath, hideaways and sealodge beach (handy since there is no parking there most of the time), and close to a small shopping centre and to Hanalei Bay with all of its shops and restaurants (not walking distance).

• Reviewer: Sioban

  Comments: Paulina was an exceptional host! She was always available if we had any questions and made excellent recommendations for local hikes and adventures. Her family was very polite, warm and welcoming!

• Reviewer: Elizabeth

  Comments: The host was very welcoming. The entire house was gorgeous. Especially our room. Everything was very clean. We had full cooking capacity and utensils as well as a beautiful back porch. The host helped with tons of tips and beach equipment to borrow. Would recommend

• Reviewer: Kelly

  Comments: I can't recommend Paulina's place enough! Amazing location on the north island, and easy access to Princeville, Hanalei and tons of great hiking. Her husband Harry is awesome, and offers surfing lessons and board rentals. I did two lessons with him and he showed me how to find good locations, read the waves, and on my third time out I was able to get up on my own and 'ride the rail' a few times. They also do a great job keeping the place clean and comfortable. Some girls staying before me left a huge mess of sand and food, but a few hours later it was spotless. Also has a mini-kitchen with a small fridge coffee maker, toaster, dishes, etc. which was great for making breakfast. You can't go wrong staying here!

• Reviewer: Jason

  Comments: Beautiful area, home is in a golf community. Harry met us when we arrived and was super friendly, just a great personality with lots of Aloha! Paulina was out of town but was very easy to reach and helpful in every way. The space was much bigger then expected, we were able to just relax and have a great time in the house when we were not out exploring all the beauty of the North Shore of Kaua'i!!

• Reviewer: Rafaelle

  Comments: Super accueil par Henry! Logement tres spacieux dans un quartier luxueux et tranquille. Toutefois tres humide donc rien be séchait.

• Reviewer: Matteo

  Comments: Amazing stay, in an amazing place with amazing host

• Reviewer: Ulysses

  Comments: Great stay! The space was clean and comfortable. The other Airbnb travelers staying in the other room were friendly. Paulina couldn't have been more accommodating and it was wonderful using the bikes, beach chairs, and surfboard. Nice place in a fabulous location! Thank you!

• Reviewer: Asa

  Comments: Paulina and her husband were extremely warm and welcoming but also gave us plenty of privacy. The apartment was situated on a beautiful property and we loved having coffee on the porch in the morning. The bed was very comfortable. There's great food and places to hang out, swim, and surf nearby. Paulina gave us great recommendations for all those things.

• Reviewer: Kim

  Comments: We absolutely loved staying at Paulina's place! It was the perfect place to stay if you intend to be mostly on the north side of the island. The extra perk of having surf boards, snorkeling gear, beach towels, etc all available for our use was the icing on the cake for us at this wonderful accommodation. Would definitely stay again!

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: -gracious host with palpable 'aloha' attitude. -every visitor I had was surprised with how much I got for the price. -immaculate part of town. -cozy communal area shared with only one other room; private entrance. -wifi; full kitchenette, large outdoor deck; bodyboards, surfboards, snorkels, beach chairs, matts, umbrellas... -the two rooms are separated by the bath so I never heard a peep from the couple down the hall. -outside the bedroom window are 60ft. stalks of bamboo that sound like rain when the wind blows. -there's even a guitar & didgeridoo should you feel the need to express your joy.

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: Paulinas place is awesome! It is basically a holiday apartment with two bedrooms, bath and living room with small kitchen plus lanai! You will have a lot of privacy, parking at the house, beach gear, surf boards and a well sorted foodland right around the corner. We enjoyed our stay a lot and can highly recommend this place!

• Reviewer: Rosie

  Comments: Paulina was very nice and the place was very comfortable. Unfortunately there was a mix up and no one was available for a few hours after check in to let us in. She was very nice and apologetic about this offering a refund. Also let us store our bags while hiking for a few days- this was great!

• Reviewer: Tina

  Comments: Paulina is very easy going, open, and was a great host. Great location with the ability to relax on the lanai and enjoy fruit from their trees!

• Reviewer: Lena

  Comments: Paulina is such a warm spirit. She was very welcoming and gave us great recommendations. She has multiple water sport equipment available to borrow during your stay. Its a close drive to many Princeville points of interest. I'd definitely recommend staying with her!

• Reviewer: Lucia

  Comments: The best Airbnb I've ever stayed at! Everything was Perfect: the location, the place and the host. Residential and quiet area. Very very clean and beautiful apartment. Very very comfortable bed. Fast internet connection. Paulina's welcoming, passion, attention to details and refine taste, made her the ideal host. She really knows how to exceed guests' expectations. And her beautiful family too.

• Reviewer: Paul

  Comments: This is a perfect location, the room was quiet and very nice. Paulina is a great host, we recommend this place!

• Reviewer: Aj

  Comments: Paulina and her family is very welcoming. Their place is close to beach and a couple minutes drive to restaurants, local places. The house has everything you need but the best part is waking up with bird chirping. Would definitely be back!

• Reviewer: Skyler

  Comments: Paulina's place was beautiful and her communication was great! Wish we could have stayed longer!

• Reviewer: Irina & Ole

  Comments: We had a great stay at Paulina's place! Everything is exactly as described in a safe neighbourhood and close to beautiful beaches on the North Shore.

• Reviewer: Kyle

  Comments: Paulina was a great host -- always quick to respond and handle any questions. As far as the location, it's in a very nice residential neighborhood. Only negatives are that it doesn't have a TV and was a little loud in the mornings. However, overall, I think it's a good find.

• Reviewer: Kira

  Comments: My friend and I had a wonderful time staying at Paulina's place! She was kind enough to have towels, snorkel gear, bikes and gave us plenty of recommendations for things to do around town. Would def stay here again!!

• Reviewer: Angie

  Comments: I highly recommend this place to anyone! Beautiful home and neighborhood, walking distance from incredible beaches. Paulina was a great host!

• Reviewer: Bethany

  Comments: Really nice place, very clean and well presented, and in a great location. Loved our time their, the whole island was beautiful. The place actually was a lot nicer than what we expected too!

• Reviewer: Tyler

  Comments: Paulina's place includes the bottom floor of her house, with living room/ mini kitchen, a big sunny deck, and two rooms available to rent, so you may have great privacy, or may have roomates! You can walk to princeville center, or use her bikes to get down to the st. Regis beach, plus theres surfboards, boogie boards, and snorkeling equipment for all the fun you need. I did not have a car (would recommend getting one on kauai) so all this worked out great for me. I biked around and surfed the bay every day. Place was clean, had coffee, fridge and hotplate/pans to cook. Mahalo Paulina, a great stay.

• Reviewer: Mary

  Comments: Paulina is a nice host. Her place provides a nice place to land after time spent at Kauai's many attractions. Her home is close to Tunnels Beach, Ke'e Beach and the Na Pali Coast. Paulina shared her beach gear (umbrella, cooler, snorkeling masks and fins, and beach towels) bikes, and kayak gear. I cooked fish every night on the hot plate and baked brownies in the toaster oven. The bed was comfy and the space was homey. No TV, which might be a problem for some, but you're in Hawaii, so who needs TV! Wi-fi works great, though

• Reviewer: Marissa

  Comments: Paulina's place is near to beautiful Hanalei Bay and the Na Pali coast. It is located in a nice, quiet neighbourhood and waking up to the sound of birds and the ocean was very serene. Paulina has bikes, kayak, snorkel gear etc that you can borrow which was appealing to me and I could really take in the beauty of the island.

• Reviewer: Benedicte

  Comments: We arrived in the afternoon and Paulina was here to show us around. Interaction with guest is limited but if you have a question Paulina is easy to reach. Very nice and easy going. The appartment is the bottom part of the house with a large uncovered deck at the back. You are sharing the appartment with one other airbnb room. There is one shared bathroom with a bath tub in it. The toilet is in the bathroom which is the only downside as when we stayed someone decided to have a bath in the evening so no access to the toilet for about an hour. The kitchen is simple but has everything you need to cook simple meals, pots, pans, dishes etc. There is a hot plate, oven/toaster. The living room is nice and cosy. Internet worked well too. The house is in the heart of princeville in a cul de sac, lots of kids around but overall its slick and quiet (except there was a kid gathering for easter and that was very noisy). Easy parking in the driveway and close to beaches too. Note that the washing and dryer are adjacent to the unit it can be noisy if people decide to do a load in the evening. Paulina was flexible for us leaving our bagage in the living on the day of our check out so it was convenient.

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: Wonderful stay in a quiet area about 10 minutes from Hanalei Bay. Paulina is a great hostess, friendly and accessible for any questions but we also felt like we had plenty of privacy. Great location, close to St Regis (great sunset drinks) and surfing is great in Hanalei Bay. Would definitely stay here again!

  Comments: Skvělý

• Reviewer: Gabriel

  Comments: My wife and I had a great time. We stayed 5 days and cooked in the kitchen and tried to do as much exploring as possible. This house is the perfect location for surfing and hiking the Napali coast.

• Reviewer: Maren

  Comments: We loved staying at Paulina's place. It was quiet, clean and our room was bright and had its windows to the garden which was beautiful. We slept very well in Paulina's bed. We had the ground floor for ourselves, only shared it with other AirBnB guests. Next to the bathroom it consisted of a living room area with a mini kitchen and a terrace where we loved to sit to greet the night and welcome the day. Paulina was there, when we needed her, but left us our privacy otherwise, which we very much appreciated.

• Reviewer: Ryan

  Comments: Amazing place to stay, close to Many of the well known beaches/hike. Great public park nearby with playground, work out equipment.

  Comments: Go for it. Paulina is awesome. Place is beautiful. Cozy, quiet, you can relax and is very convinient, especially if you want to explore wonderful north shore.

• Reviewer: Alexandra

  Comments: Paulina's place in Princeville was perfect for me! She was so warm and welcoming. The Airbnb is in the heart of the North Shore of Kaua'i, very close to beautiful beaches and restaurants shopping etc. She has a very nice family (her and her daughter) along with 2 outdoor cats and a sweet older dog. She provides boards, snorkel gear, towels, chairs etc for a perfect beach day. Paulina's place was a hidden gem, truly blessed to have found her. My favorite Airbnb ever! Mahalo Paulina and family !

• Reviewer: Ricardo

  Comments: My parter and I had an amazing time at Paulina's. Location is great, room was perfect and confortable and Paulina was fantastic. We felt lucky to use her surfboards and snorkeling gear! Highly recommend.

• Reviewer: Meredith

  Comments: Wonderful host and great airbnb experience! Private entrance, porch, kitchen and sitting area separate from rest of house. Comfortable bed and room. Shared bathroom with one other room, so very easy to access. Area is right next to walking trails, golf course, and Queens Bath. I loved walking to get fresh smoothies in the morning at the shopping area nearby--check out the rainbow eucalyptus trees on the course! Paulina gives guests use of snorkeling gear, beach towels and washer/dryer. Would definitely stay here again. A gem!

• Reviewer: Stacy

  Comments: Paulina was great and super responsive - especially since I had a last minute booking (just 1 hr prior to arrival). The place is clean and location is amazing. We stayed just one night and location was perfect for the activities on our list (St. Regis happy hour, dinner, Queens bath the next morning). There was a fan that was used by us all the time and the kitchen toaster oven and patio made for a great breakfast at home

• Reviewer: Eszter

  Comments: The house is in a really nice neighborhood. The house is quiet. If you are looking for a place, where you are not disturbed by the owner this is your place. Room is good, bed is comfy. Kitchen is not really practical. Good for making sandwiches and tea, but not really well equipped for more "complex" things (like heating food). Fridge is small, so buy your grocery and drink for the day. Providing beach towels, chairs, snorkeling gear for free is priceless. Other tenants leaving things behind is helpful. Grocery store is close, area is beautiful.

• Reviewer: Martin

  Comments: Paulina's place is comfortable and clean, and she's a very warm and welcoming host. Hopefully we will be back soon. Mahalo!

• Reviewer: Lotte

  Comments: Paulina took me in at the very last minute (i think I gave 30 mins warning?), for which I was hugely grateful. The place is exactly as described and Paulina even got up before dawn to help me when I had been blocked in by another car. Fantastic host, great if short stay.

• Reviewer: Amy

  Comments: We had a fantastic stay! I can't say enough great things about Paulina. She is a wonderful person :)

• Reviewer: Marie-Alicia

  Comments: Paulina is such a nice host! She always was there for us... giving us recommendations and lending us surf boards, snorkel equipment, towels...Also is a plus that it has a kitchen next to the room, you can cook and save some money. The house is located close to the best surfing beaches and best hiking. Also she is a warm and authentic kauaian woman. Thank you Paulina we will come back for sure!

• Reviewer: Michael

  Comments: We had an amazing stay in Paulina's place! Always quick to respond to our questions and very hospitable. Would love to stay there again!

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Place is clean, safe, convenient, and cozy. Just what I needed while I explored Kaua'i. Paulina was great--very hospitable and friendly. She even lent me her hiking stick while I hiked the Kalalau Trail! Kitchenette served all of my needs to make/prepare/store my own food/snacks. Would definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Katelyn

  Comments: Paulina's place was great! We had just finished hiking the Kalalau Trail a day earlier than we expected and Paulina answered us within minutes. Centrally located and very clean! We wish we could have stayed longer.

• Reviewer: Joseph

  Comments: Great place to stay with lots of things to do near by. We stayed here before hiking the kalalau trail and it was perfect. We woke up early and got to the trailhead before anyone was there. Paulina was very helpful, she let us do laundry and also stored our stuff in her garage while we were hiking which was fantastic!

• Reviewer: Kenny

  Comments: Ruhig gelegen, hatten keinen persönlichen Kontakt mit Paulina. Für eine Nacht aber völlig ok.

• Reviewer: David

  Comments: Good accommodation with all the beach/surf gear you need near the beautiful hanalei bay.

• Reviewer: Nate

  Comments: We just stayed for 4 nights and had a nice stay. Paulina was very friendly and responsive and easy to work with. The room was very nice and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shared living area was simple, but nice. We used the hot plate to cook breakfast and the refrigerator was useful. There is no microwave. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The living space is shared with another Airbnb guest room, and we had a nice couple to share with. Porch was nice. We used the beach chairs available and the laundry. It is a great location to explore the north shore. Our only major surprise was that it was a shared bathroom. The listing says "1 bathroom shared laundry." I guess it should read "1 bathroom, shared, and shared laundry." It was not a big deal for us, but just be aware. Overall, a nice place and we would stay again, especially for the rate in that location.

• Reviewer: Craig

  Comments: Great location, great bed, nice towels and soap, enjoyed other guests. Good value; would stay again.

• Reviewer: Jamie

  Comments: Great location near Hideaways beach, Princeville marketplace, Kalalau trail, and Hanalei. Great touches such as beach gear, guidebooks, and a great lanai to eat on. I was surprised to be able to hear the surf at night! Paulina is very friendly and willing to offer advice if needed. Yes the bathroom is shared. We enjoyed meeting the others that were staying down the hall so no problem. They also offered advice on things to do/see. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay here! Can't wait to come back!

• Reviewer: Amanda

  Comments: The room is a nice size with good storage space. The shared kitchen and bathroom area are welcoming and has everything you need to make coffee and whip up a simple meal. We enjoyed meeting our fellow guests. Paulina is a great host. She had lots of little beach items available like chairs and beach mats. Great experience.

• Reviewer: Abi

  Comments: Very nosy. We were waken up every single morning at 4:15 am. We will never stay her again.

• Reviewer: Ben

  Comments: Very good experience. Just as described, had a great trip!

• Reviewer: Riley

  Comments: Great location in Princeville, and lovely bedroom space (one of at least three that are rented out on the property), with two windows that open to a beautiful yard view from either one. No roosters (yay!)!! Very clean living areas, including the nice, elevated lanai. Recommended!

• Reviewer: Jo

  Comments: You get what you pay for

• Reviewer: Alex

  Comments: Good place to go for it's value, just remember that they don't have a microwave :) If you're afraid of your stuff getting stolen, don't stay here, there isn't a way to lock up the place (we didn't have any issues, but just thought I'd let you know.) Also if you're deathly afraid of bugs this may not be the place for you, we definitely had our fair share of beetles, cockroaches, spiders, and ants while we were there, but that's pretty hard to avoid when going to Hawaii. They're not taking over the apartment by any means, but every night we had to kill a few bugs before going to bed. Also it's a bit out of the way from most of the island, so make sure you have a rental car to get around, this is not a central location.

• Reviewer: Stephen

  Comments: This was a great value on the North shore. Self check-in was easy, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.

• Reviewer: Monika

  Comments: Schöne Unterkunft mit Strandutensilien (Stühle, Sonnenschirm, Schorchelsets...)

• Reviewer: Jenny

  Comments: Very charming and peaceful place. Location was excellent to the north shore beaches and Queen’s bath in Princeville

• Reviewer: Jess

  Comments: We stayed for three nights, it was a comfortable way to begin our vacation before going camping. The location was perfect, down the street from beautiful beaches and close to a shopping center where they played music two nights we were there. Paulina provides plenty of beach towels and supplies (like snorkeling gear and boogie boards). There’s also a dog and cat on the property, both very friendly and love to be petted! A huge plus was the washer and dryer, which came in handy after falling around in the mud one morning. But beware of huge cockroaches- I could have gone my whole life without seeing that little guy!

• Reviewer: Britt

  Comments: Enjoyed my time. The room was lovely. Didn’t get to enjoy the deck because it was raining. Great location!

• Reviewer: Suzanne

  Comments: This room was cozy, clean, and felt like home right away. The living area was spacious and the bathroom pristine. The walls were a little thin at times, but we didn’t mind so much since our neighbors were respectful and quiet. The mini fridge was convenient for storing a couple meal staples, but don’t buy too much; it is a mini fridge after all. Whenever we come back to Princeville, we’ll first check to see if Paulina’s place is available. Cat and dog were precious too! :)

  Comments: The stay was as described in the listing and generally everything was good but a few minor issues. For starters the bathroom lock didn’t work and there was no way to lock up the room/house when you left. The neighborhood was very safe and never had any issues but some might not feel comfortable with that. The bed was also overly soft and our backs hurt every morning when we got up. The property was clean, but there were a few bugs, not a big issue. The location was fine for visiting north coast attractions but it was very far (2 hour drive) from Waimea Canyon and NaPali coast. I didn’t realize this when I booked this place since on a map it looks right next to it. Also due to all the rains/flooding/landslides this past April the road didn’t go past Hanalei so you couldn’t get to Tunnels Beach or the Kalalau Trail. Having said all of this Pauline was very nice and we’d stay here again, just not for the entire time we were on the island.

  Comments: Paulina is lovely and her place has wonderful energy. It's a beautiful patio/yard to relax in. She keeps it low-key so there is no pressure to interact but always was available if necessary.

  Comments: We had a one-night stay at Pauline's room. The other room was occupied by two Canadian girls, with whom we shared the bathroom. Room was small but clean, and bed was comfortable enough. Shared kitchen looked clean (we did not use it), and shared fridge was clean and very convenient to store food. The lanai was the best part of the shared spaces: it was very nice to spend the evening there having dinner and a glass of wine, watching a movie or chatting with the other guests. Bathroom is small and the drain of the sink was not working properly. Fresh towels and soap were provided, but no shampoo. It was possible to park for free in fron of the house, but parking was a little crowded with the host's car as well as the other guests' car. It was ok for one night.

• Reviewer: Ginny

  Comments: It was a welcoming, relaxing place to stay. Everyone else who stayed there was respectful and friendly. I found the location perfect for my needs - I love the North Shore! Paulina was warm and easy to relate to, available if I needed anything but left me to my own devices if I didn't.

  Comments: Zimmer schön. Paulina schwer zu erreichen, nur über teures handy und waren noch viele fragen offen. Wlan ging nicht richtig.

• Reviewer: John

  Comments: I had a VERY comfortable two-night stay. It was very easy to find and was perfect for my short stay. Paulina is friendly and welcoming, and the neighborhood is amazing. Highly recommended!! :-)

• Reviewer: Priyanka

  Comments: As a solo female traveler, this spot was it. I spent a couple of days on the north shore to see/do things that are normally far from a day’s drive from the south shore (where I spent majority of my time on the island), and this location was super. If I wasn’t in Hanalei, I was on foot exploring Princeville and nearby beaches/snorkeling/biking the path. Unit is clean, quiet, gorgeous deck/view, and my air bnb house mates were wonderful (noise wasn’t an issue - for me).

• Reviewer: Rachel

  Comments: We loved our stay here and enjoyed having access to snorkeling gear that Paulina has available for guests to use. The rooms are very cozy and the neighborhood is nice. You do need to have a car if you stay here. Everything is easily within driving distance but there is not much that you can walk to.

  Comments: Muy buena habitación en muy buena urbanización.

• Reviewer: Taylor

  Comments: pictures were accurate and Paulina is great, very friendly! for the price this was perfect and she had snorkeling gear, beach towels, chairs, and a small cooler all available for use. very safe and quiet area, great for relaxing, and I will definitely book again next time I'm on the island!

• Reviewer: Jennette

  Comments: easy access Princeville location great for an adventuring person who will be out and about most of the time. bring ear plugs and eye mask to sleep beyond sunrise and rooster talk as windows are open for breeze due to no central air. this room is in a shared space with other airbnb renters, not the hostess. sweet outdoor pets and close to late night grocery.

• Reviewer: Prashant

  Comments: Paulina’s place is very clean, visually appealing and has everything you need for your stay!

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: We never met Paulina, but the place was good for our short stay (2 nights). We overlapped for one night with another couple in the other AirBnB bedroom -- they were easygoing and we didn't have any problems with noise. The laundry access is a plus, and wifi was excellent. The mini-fridge is small to be sharing with folks if you're planning on cooking and eating a lot of your meals in.

• Reviewer: Emma

  Comments: A pleasant stay. Very comfortable bed. Basic cooking supplies. Calm space to be in. Good area.

• Reviewer: Emily

  Comments: Good place to use as a home base on the North side of the island. Need a car to stay here but easy access to Hanalei, hikes, grocery stores, etc. Good budget option.

• Reviewer: Patrice

  Comments: Two bedrooms for guests are located in a roomy downstairs of Paulina's house, along with a laundry room (available to guests), partial kitchen, and shared bathroom. Outdoor access is thru a shared (unlocked) patio door; bedroom doors do not appear to lock either; take note if this is an issue for you. Paulina was generous, and accessible by text.

  Comments: Paulina was very kind and responded quickly to questions and communication. The backyard garden is very lovely and the kitchen and laundry amenities were basic but comfortable. It is very close to all the happening resorts and beaches in Princeville. Great location and a cozy place to stay!

• Reviewer: Gary

  Comments: Paulina was an amazing host! She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay! She made sure we knew all the great spots to swim, snorkel and surf as well as all the awesome attractions and things to do! She was so caring and understanding to our first Christmas away from home and made sure we felt the Aloha spirit!! The house was great! Very clean and had everything we needed and more! Also there was laundry which was very much needed due to swimming and snorkeling daily! She provided a hunch of extras as well - snorkel gear, towels, cooler etc to be used while we were there! Overall we had a perfect Kauai experience thanks to Paulina!! We will definitely stay with her again and will recommend her to everyone we know!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thanks Paulina!

• Reviewer: Nicole

  Comments: Paulina’s home is beautiful and in a very nice community. She let us use her bikes to get around and gave some tips about where we could rent a car! The home itself is a bit far to walk to many places but the bikes were very convenient! If your looking for a relaxing beautiful home in a nice area, this is for you!!

• Reviewer: Susan

  Comments: Cozy room, shared kitchen, large living room and bathroom, a lanai with a table and chairs, and Paulina is a very sweet and friendly host. She helps wherever she can and answers all sorts of questions you have. It is a very peaceful place. We cooked breakfasts and dinners for us, and if there is another couple who does the same, the fridge can be too small. We would return anytime again, we loved the peace and quiet, too.
