You also have an ocean view from a lanai located off the living room and master bedroom.
Princeville is a golfers paradise with the number one course in Hawaii (The Prince Course) and the number five course (The Makai Course). As a guest at The Sandpiper Village (or any of my units in Princeville) you qualify for golf discounts on both the world class 18 hole 'Prince Course', ranked Number 1 in Hawaii and Number 43 of 'America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses' and the 27 hole 'Makai Course', Ranked Number 7 in Hawaii and also in the top 100 by Golf Digest. In addition, as a guest at The Sandpiper, you are offered a golf discount (check here for rates) on all the courses on the North shore. The Prince Golf facility also has a lovely gym and fitness studio which is available to the public at reasonable rates.
Hike the World Famous Kalalau Trail on the Napali Coast also located on the North Shore of Kauai and see the breathtaking views of the mountains, many waterfalls, and the ocean.
The North Shore of Kauai has some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the world. The Island of Kauai is said to be one of the most beautiful Islands in the entire World.
Condobob's Cliffs and Sandpiper Village condo units located in Princeville, Kauai recently received special acclaim in the November 2003 issue of Arthur Frommer's 'Budget Travel' magazine for being one of the best budget buys on the Island of Kauai.
The unit is located in the center of the beautiful gated community of Princeville, Kauai and is next to the Makai Golf Course and tennis facility. The Princeville Resort was voted the best resort on Kauai and the 8th best in the world by Conde Nast Traveler magazine and is dramatically situated on a bluffs located between the blue Pacific Ocean and craggy, green, mystical mountains and is indescribably majestic. It offers home sites, condo's, hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, and 45 holes of golf.
The world famous beaches of Hanalei Bay and Lumahai, and the spectacular scenery (the movie Jurassic Park was filmed here), are just a short, scenic drive away. Travel and Leisure magazine recently chose Kalalau Valley, located on the North Shore's famous Kalalau Trail, as one of the most beautiful places in America,'
Condobob's Facts On Kauai Beaches:
The very best beaches in all Hawaii are located only five minutes from the bluffs of Princeville. They offer excellent snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, and kayaking. You can also kayak up the nearby rivers that connect the waterfalls to the ocean. You can also hike the Kalalau Trail on the Napali Coast, which is located on the North Shore of Kauai, and see the breathtaking views of the mountains, waterfalls, and the ocean. The North Shore of Kauai has some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the world.
Basically Kauai is a natures' paradise.
Ski:
As referred to earlier, our very favorite private beach is five minutes from Princeville and is located in Hanalei Bay which has three miles of white sand coral free beach, and seldom has over 50 people on the entire beach. There are a few mansions around but it is still private to a major degree.
The North Shore of Kauai, near Princeville, has more of the best beaches in all Hawaii than on any other Island. It is eight miles to the end of the road from Princeville and it is a nature's wonderland and a beach lover's paradise. You will find lovely Ke'e Beach at the very end of the road in a park setting where the Kalalau Trail commences. It is great for snorkeling and for little ones as the beach area inside the reefs and coral is wave free and a giant tide pool that is crystal clear.
Kauai is not like Waikiki Beach or Kanapali Beach. They are both great beaches, but they are often filled with thousands of people.
Golf:
The most beautiful areas are still pristine areas with no houses or hotels and the better beaches are generally not accessible directly from condos, like Lumahai beach where scenes of South Pacific were filmed, or Secret Beach and many others. You must search them out and go to them and one cannot live right next to them close to the beach. Some are a 1/2 mile walk from the roadway and others are a few hundred yards down a slope or through the trees, etc.
In my personal opinion, if you want to visit other beaches on other parts of the Island of Kauai, the Marriott Hotel located in Lihue has the best Hotel beach on Kauai at Kalapaki Beach, and it is free and accessible by all visitors. Jan and I go there when we want to be close to things beautiful like the Marriott and yet far away by ourselves on a little section of lovely beach in an Island Paradise. If you want more private beaches you need to go to the ones I have mentioned.
