We are experiencing winter weather on Kauai.  Those of us who live on Kauai are able to pull out our sweaters which do not get much use the rest of the year.  It was a chilly 66 degrees today on the north shore.   Here are the listing we previewed.

Remarks: This is a beautiful, well kept first floor unit. The high, open beam ceilings above the living room, and dining area give this this unit a sense of openness and size not found in many condo units. Step down into the carpeted living room area and open the two large sliding doors and walk out onto a covered patio area and into a secluded and beautiful yard. Perfect for entertaining. The adjacent kitchen had a convenient breakfast bar where guests can sit while you prepare a meal. This open design is more like a comfortable and cozy home than a condominium unit. The master bedroom has a spacious bathroom and nice dressing area. The second bedroom is adjacent to a separate bathroom. Laundry facilities are in the hall way conveniently located close to both bedrooms. This unit is close to parking with one level access. A stone's throw away is a wonderful pool and cabana for your pleasure. This unit is a perfect set up for someone who wants a comfortable and care free place to live or it could be a very nice vacation rental as this complex is located in the Princeville VDA. Recently painted, the Kamahana building complex is well managed and well maintained. It is also close to shopping, restaurants, golf and tennis, not to mention being in the very heart of the North Shore of Kauai where some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are located. Dollar for dollar, you are not going to find a brighter and nicer unit.

Remarks: You've never seen a Paniolo like this one!

Free standing Paniolo with no neighbors above you, below you, or on either side, this condo is really a Kauai cottage reminiscent of the cane houses of old.

Inside, it's a different story. Owners spent $175,000 on renovations, including an expanded kitchen with granite counters, solid wood cabinets, stainless appliances, and a wine cooler. And that's just the kitchen! They also added a finished loft that could be used as an extra bedroom, sitting area, or yoga studio. The floors of the cottage are porcelain tile, which is easy to maintain and doesn't get stained from the island's red dirt. Many other upgrades - you need to come see it for yourself!

Back yard off the lanai borders on a tree-lined path leading directly to beautiful Anini Beach. The property is located within the county's Visitor Destination Area and would make an ideal vacation rental, or a private, comforting island retreat.
