Wonderful location. Beach and bike bath on one side. Coconut market place on the other. Clean and great communication. The only changes needed were small ones due to being at the ocean- new lamp shades and shower curtain.

Perfect Island retreat

We loved our stay- the suite was just as advertised, clean, comfortable and the location was perfect for quiet days at the beach and easy to access food and shopping. The lanai was our favourite part-nothing beats starting your day with coffee overlooking the waves! We would definitely come back.

Perfect Location

Everything was perfect and as shown in photos. There are lots of nice restaurants, shops, and activities within a less than 5-10 minute drive. Is easy to walk to lots of different things from the location. You can drive to anywhere on the island in around an hour or less, even the furthest parts of the island. Walmart is 15 minutes away. Very relaxed and quiet environment. We went for our honeymoon and it was perfect.

The view was beautiful!

First time in Kauai for myself and hubby. The room was perfect for us, we loved the view from the balcony. We didn’t have any issues, didn’t have to communicate with the owner. The room was clean and comfortable, so glad I we had AC. There’s plenty of restaurants in the area that you can walk to. Staying in Kapaa was perfect because you are in the center to the north and south. Would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing location. The place was clean, centrally located, and had a great view. We loved being able to watch the sunrise each morning, having the marketplace so close, and enjoying a walk each day. There was a Monk Seal who would lounge on the beach in front of the property each morning. Would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back.

Great property

The location of this property is amazing! It’s right on the beach with amazing views of the ocean! There are local shops and restaurants within walking distance. It’s about a 45 minute drive to the north side and about the same to the west side - traffic dependent. The space itself is as described with all the extras needed for an unforgettable trip. We would stay here again!

This was the perfect place to use as “home base” during our week exploring Kauai. The location had good nearby shopping and dining options and we spent hours on the lanai watching the sunrise and the ocean waves. The condo was comfortable, had everything we needed and was decorated nicely.

Overall a good stay, but pictures are deceiving

Our stay was good. The bed was a bit hard for me and it was a lot of stairs to go up and down with a bad back. I didn't have the back problem when we originally made the reservation. The shower drain wasn't working well, but it was fixed 2 days later. They did give us a $75 credit for dealing with the shower drain issue for 2 days. The photos make the unit look bigger and much brighter. It is actually quite dark inside both the bathroom and the main room. The balcony is a great addition to the room and we loved sitting outside in the lounge chairs. We didn't use the pool area.

Islander on the Beach

I really liked this condo. 11 out of 11. Clean, quiet and well stocked with towels (bath and beach). It was conveniently located, not far from the airport (important on an island, unless you're never leaving...) and basically right in the middle of the traversable parts of the island, so one could get to either the west or north sides in about the same amount of time. The nearby town was very nice, offering various dining options. And it's Hawaii, so it's gonna be nicer than wherever you usually spend your dreary days. Thanks for the nice stay!
