My wife and I stayed in this condo for 4 nights. We selected this property after reading the good reviews on the AirBnB website, including the “Superhost” rating, the A/C and a washer & dryer. The rental price is about half of what you would pay to stay at one of the nicer Princeville resorts. Sandpiper Village is an apartment complex with individual owners; apparently some tenants live here year round while others are short term rental guests like ourselves. The nearest beach is a short drive away but too far to walk.
This unit provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we never used the air conditioning since there was excellent ventilation and the weather was cool and rainy during our stay. The kitchen was moderately well-equipped and had a dishwasher. The appliances were older but worked OK. The refrigerator and cupboards were stocked with many items left by previous guests. Downsides were the late check in time of 4 PM and the fact that the floors and refrigerator were not very clean. The small TV in the living room broadcasts programs in a very low volume but the commercials broadcast at a very high volume so we had to turn the volume up and down frequently.
The location of this property is in a very nice area of Princeville with many elegant properties but this particular complex appears to be one of the oldest in the area with 1970s or -80s style plain aluminum frame windows and sliding doors. The unit and the furniture are well-worn but functional and comfortable. Some of the drapes and window coverings are missing and baseboard molding and some walls are scuffed and marred. Some things in the unit are newer, including the laminate flooring, the kitchen countertops, and the very nice circular staircase to the 2nd floor loft and half bath. The very nice, large deck can be accessed through a couple of doors and has clean patio furniture and everything you need for a trip to the beach. The owner provides dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent & fabric softener, and toiletries for the shower and bathroom sink. There are instructions by the washing machine requiring guests to use only cold water settings for wash and rinse. Some of the towels were quite worn but there were plenty of them. The king sized bed in the main bedroom was comfortable.
I contacted the owner a few times by email and text message and he always responded promptly. He also forgave me for accidentally breaking one of the wine glasses.
Tip: be sure to see the flocks of the rare and endangered Hawaiian Nene geese by the strolling path next to the nearby golf course.
