“A Definite Diamond in the Rough”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Just recently stayed in Sandpiper Village in 229 A and B and loved it!! Wasn't sure at first after the lack of reviews and the negative reviews on here, but we really loved it and had a great time! It was quiet and beautiful, the condo had everything we could possibly need!! True, Princeville is far from everything, but it is sooooooo worth it! Would definitely recommend Princeville Ranch Adventures if you are into ziplining, kayaking, hiking, etc. We had an awesome time! Would definitely recommend Sandpiper to others, and would definitely stay there again!! The price is right and it is a beautiful location! Ready to go back now!! :) Condo Bob is awesome! www.condobob.com.

“Sandpiper 121B- Cozy Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2010

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed for a week in Sandpiper 121B and it was just right for the two of us. The first night, it was a little loud but the next day we went and bought a little fan and that made a world of difference. We loved that we were able to make all our meals in the kitchen and make a little home for the week. The manager was very helpful with the questions that we had. There were never any problems with parking. The best part was being close to Hanalei which is where we spent most of our time. I would highly recommend staying here, its not a luxurious hotel but for the price it meant we could take a trip to Kauai so it was definitely worth it!

“Beautiful location”

We stayed at Sandpiper for a week in April. This was a last minute trip for us and we booked our trip with condo bob. We originally were going to stay at The Cliffs but he told us it got booked before we confirmed, so we stayed at Sandpiper.

We had an assigned parking spot, #62 so that was good. I could see if you did not have an assigned one how parking could be a problem here.

We had a 1 bedroom condo - 130A that was really nice. Walking in, you are in the living room with a few chairs, pull out sofa & tv with cable & dvd. There is a dining area as well. The kitchen had marble countertops and newer appliances. It was also fully stocked with everything we needed.

There was a washer/dryer unit in the condo which was really helpful. The patio area was lovely and private - this condo was on the bottom floor.

The bedroom had a comfy queen sized bed with dressers & tv. The bedroom had the sink & vanity outside of the area with the shower & toilet so that made nice for getting ready. The floor was a lovely ceramic tile.

This condo had everything you could want, beach towels & chairs, coolers, etc. The pool area was decent with a barbecue grill for all to use and a jacuzzi. It was not busy at all when we were there, at most 5 other people in the area.

Sandpiper does NOT have an ocean view. Maybe if you were on the top floor with some binoculars, yes, but otherwise no. But it is across from the golf course and in a really nice location. It also does not have air conditioning. This wasn't a problem for us because it wasn't hotter than 85 and there is a ceiling fan as well as 3 standing fans in the condo. Also, some of the walls beneath the windows were screens with wooden slats, so open air. This place gets a nice breeze - but it also allows noise in and out pretty easily.

We used this as a place to crash after being at the beaches all day and to wake up and get ready for our day, not really the kind of place you just want to hang out at all the time, but very good for those looking for a home base.

If you rent through this particular owner, they work with you a lot on the price. We paid $70 a night taxes & cleaning fee included which was a steal for this area and this condo. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

We had an excellent vacation while staying at the Sandpiper Village condo's. It was completely furnished with everything you would want or need. The grocery was expensive, but convenient. The Sandpiper Village was well maintained and beautiful. The neighbors were friendly and helpful and the noise level was zero.. The owner communicated with us via emails and phone calls and answered all questions. He also thanked us once we got back to the mainland and offered his condo again to us if we were interested. If we would go back to Kauai, we most certainly will contact him. We'll send all referrals your way Mr Forer. Thanks for making our visit to Paradise and memorable one..

“Musty, smelly, noisy...”

Arrived at dusk to find out that there are only a limited number of parking spaces. When I called the manager he said to park anywhere but to keep going out to check the parking lot for an empty space because they will tow your car! His other suggestion was to park about a 1/4 mile way at the Princeville overflow lot, an unlit compound, and walk back to the unit in the dark.

The unit smelled of mildew. The room is separeted by a single locked door, behind which in our case was a loud TV. For the price - pay a little mopre and enjoy a better place!
