I’ve been to Kauai many times and this community where we stayed was perfect. Great views, equipped kitchen and all around amazing home. We will definitely be visiting and staying here again!

Stayed here 10 days. Great property. Other reviewers were correct about it being close to main road in Princeville, however any downside was outweighed by the stunning views from every room and the spacious patio. Well appointed and accurate listing. Thanks

My husband has never stayed in a VRBO and was skeptical, but he’s a convert! We loved our home away from home and would happily come back to this place. It was clean full of little things to make it more enjoyable and lots of room for a family of four.

The good: -Amazing location! -Very clean & spacious -Well decorated -Management was very responsive (we contacted them at 4am and they got back to us 5 minutes later) -Great view with big patio -Best bang for your buck! The bad: -No AC (we knew this going into it) -Very thin walls, you can hear EVERYTHING -No beach towels (we forgot ours lol) -Downstairs neighbors smoke a lot of weed and the smell leaks through -Downstairs neighbors can be loud, & they request you to be quiet with your steps (a little ironic) -Busy road in front but you cannot hear it if the fans are running & the road isn’t as loud as the other reviews make it out to seem The pros 100% outweigh the cons! We went for our honeymoon & loved it!

The Good: * The view out the balcony was amazing. * The location was convenient to Princeville shopping and restaurants. * The unit was tastefully decorated and well stocked. *The owner provides 4 electric fans to help deal with the heat of this upstairs unit. The Bad: *The picture of the balcony in the listing is beautiful, but the railing hides a very busy and noisy road. * There is no air conditioning in the unit, so all of the windows needed to be open at all times to keep the unit hospitable. Because of the open windows, the neighbors hear everything. * The window in the main bathroom above the tub can't be closed, leading to a lack of privacy. The neighbor's balcony is only a few feet away. * The road noise is load due to the need to keep the windows open. Bring earplugs. * A neighbor below the unit smokes a lot of pot throughout the day and night, so the unit frequently fills with the smell of pot. * Neighbors below have a newborn. Signage in the units requested that we be extra quiet for the baby. It was not the relaxing Oasis that we had hoped.

To start with, I have never reviewed a property, but I feel obligated to for this one. First of all, Kauai was great, the location of the complex was great, the weather was great. But for what we paid to stay here, the condo experience was awful... and I have actual safely concerns for any renter in the future. The first thing we noticed on arrival was how the booking photos make this place look way bigger than it is, it's much smaller in person and on a main road. The photos you see, conveniently cover the road with the porch railing. This wouldn't be a problem, except there is no air conditioning so the windows are open almost all day and it creates an noise issue. Secondly, because the windows need to be open, you never truly have privacy. The bathroom window is directly next to the four other apartments balconys on the backside of the building. You can hear every word when they talk...I know condo's and hotels are close...but this is different. Lastly, the neighbor you are above are locals and DO NOT LIKE TOURISTS. We were told they have a new baby and we need to be quiet. We walked on eggshells for the week while listening to the female yell and complain while she sat outside and smoked Marijuana all day. An accurate estimate is about 10 times per day... this became a problem because of the open slatted windows...where now we were by virtue smoking with them second hand, including my child. We complained, the rental management was responsive...but what can they really do? We were also greated by this same resident with a "Welcome to the F***** Sandpiper" as she tried to fight my wife in the parking lot. In conclusion, the condo itself was a ok, just not in this location, and its current environment. It is incumbent of the managment to update this listing once the current neighbors move. Until then, I wouldn't suggest this rental to ANYONE. It you value your privacy, your safety, and don't want to waste your money. Choose another location. I know that many of these issues are not the responsibility of the owner of this condo or management...but they still are issues. Issues that someone wishing to spend good money on, shouldn't have to deal with, especially on what supposedly is a relaxing trip to Kauai. If this saves just one person from a bad vacation, it's worth it. To be fair, there were nice elements to the condo. But the negative issues and bad elements far outweigh any positives it had.

We already love the location and the pool/hot tub (A+). We've been to the Sand Piper before. The only reason for not giving an overall 5 stars rating... The front room furniture, specifically the couch; it is in dire need for replacement. Otherwise, this condo was great for our family.

Second visit to Kauai and best place we've stayed on the island. When we booked this there were 0 reviews so we were taking a chance. It paid off big time as this place is tremendous. Yes, there is a road behind the condo, but it did not negatively affect our stay at all. The golf course and mountain views are gorgeous! The Princeville location is great as it's about a 5 min drive to a grocery store, shops and a few restaurants. Plus, only about 10-15 mins to get to Hanalei. We stared our trip off with 5 nights in Kapaa and this was significantly less touristy and significantly more laid back. The condo had everything you would need including the full size washer and dryer which was amazing since we are hikers. Really updated throughout and everything seemed pretty new. Small issue with the shower handle but management was VERY responsive and it was fixed within 30 mins. Reserved parking spot was nice never having to worry about finding a spot. HUGE bonus! Multiple options for beaches within a 15 min drive (Hanalei, Queens Bath, Hideaways, Secrets, Annini). We would for sure stay here again on a future trip.
