Great location to overlooking the ocean. Property is close to shopping and restaurants. The beach on the property is very small but almost no one goes there. Would definitely stay again!

For our age, retired, we just wanted quiet, relaxing time. This was just what we needed. This was our fourth year in a row in Kauai. We'll be back next year.

Fantastic!
Top floor oceanfront unit highly recommended if you like watching whales! Everything you need within walking distance. Definitely the sunny side of the island, if the forecast says its going to rain all day, it never does.

Amazing
The apartment's prime location by the ocean and proximity to restaurants and stores are its standout features. However, cleanliness was an issue as I observed numerous hairs on the floor. The Vacasa team's prompt response and willingness to rectify the situation showcased their commitment to customer satisfaction. They truly excel in their service.

Needs cleaning
The Islander is in a good location and it has a laid back vibe. I'm familiar with the property so I knew what to expect of the location and amenities (thumbs up for those). This unit; however, needs some serious cleaning attention. Upon check in, the bathroom sink was clogged, there were spiders at the ceiling corner above the front door (in the room), the bathroom door had dirty handprints along the edges, there are tiny sand-colored ants that make their way to the dining table, and there is mold on the framed photos, portions of the walls, and on the drapes to the sliding glass doors. Maintenance was able to clean away the spiders and unclog the sink (turns out the pipe was filled with sand from prior guests). But, these are things that should be noticed and taken care of by house keeping during cleaning. I will stay at the Islander again, but not likely in this unit.

Beautiful Beach Front Location
Condo, was right on the beach. You could hear and see the waves right on the Lanai. Condo, could use a little upgrade, but was very comfortable. The grounds at the Islander are beautiful, and the nightly Tiki Bar at the pool was wonderful to have.

Great Value
The unit was clean, the bed comfortable and it was nice that 2 beach towels, beach chairs and a little cooler bag were available for use. The complex is a bit dated (and a little worn from the sea/salt exposure), but the waterfront view is awesome. Nothing fancy but the value is great and it is in a great location to go anywhere on the island in not too long a drive. Plenty of places to get food if you don`t want to drive too. Check in was easy, we didn`t have any problems while we were there. Kitchenette is small but allowed for us to keep perishables in the small fridge (worked well) - we used the gas grill down by the pool.

Pretty good
Overall fine. Price was cheaper than the property`s hotel owned units. Great location, directions for check in clear via email, etc. Some extras were available like beach umbrella and chairs,& yoga mats, which was nice. Overall pretty clean, but some items should probably be replaced due to age and wear and tear, like a discolored toilet seat. Shower curtain had a strong sour mildew smell, so needs a very deep clean. Pillow had a mildew smell as well, but i flipped it over and it was ok. Shower has very little water pressure and shower head should probably be replaced soon. Was told a reasonable amount of paper products would be provided and then I`d have to buy the rest on my own. Well there were two toilet paper rolls for a ten night stay for two people. That`s a bit unreasonable in my opinion.

Mixed Feelings
The view is fantastic, the location is great,the bed is very comfortable, the landscaping on the property is lovely. Unfortunately the room itself is old and tired, definitely needs a refresh. The sofa was grimy, cleaning utensils were left in the bathroom, there were long black hairs in the bathtub, the safe was broken and there was no instruction binder. At one point we asked for some more soap and were told we only get a starter kit. We tried to change the garbage and there were no garbage bags in the unit. We asked for more and were assured we would receive them but we had not by the time we left to come home.

Great location
First -We loved it was on the beach with nothing obstructing the view (other than a few trees)! Such a beautiful view!! It’s not a luxury condo with fancy frills, but it met all we wanted for our stay. Somewhat outdated (older cabinets, shower pressure was so-so, and the smoke alarm was disabled) but it was clean and quiet and that was what was the most important to us. The gardens are BEAUTIFUL. We were very happy with the price for all we got. The bed is nice and very comfortable! Air conditioner worked great, which was a must for my husband. There’s beach chairs and an umbrella provided, as well as a soft sided cooler. You have to walk 3 flights of stairs as there’s no elevator, but we didn’t mind that. Shopping and grocery store nearby was such a nice convenience!! . We loved eating at the next door restaurant, Lava Lava, our favorite restaurant we tried in Kauai!! Cocktails at the pool tiki hut was also a huge plus (strong and tasty!). I would DEFINITELY recommend this place if you’re on a budget and want a great location overlooking the ocean!!!

An absolute must
You definitely will not be disappointed with this condo. The view of the ocean and the sunrise is absolutely gorgeous. Super easy to get here from the airport and there is a shopping center right next to it. It’s located on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators, so keep that in mind.

Angiolina K.

Fairly clean. Not very accommodating or understanding whatsoever
The room was pretty clean with the exception of someone’s makeup or self tanner smudged on the fitted sheet when we pulled back the covers. We simply rotated the sheet and did not complain due to our fatigue from attempting to make it there and not be charged for another night we were not present for since our flight had been cancelled the day prior. When we reached out about possibly not getting charged for the night we were unable to be there, we were met with the comment, “Well there’s nothing we can do. We didn’t cancel your flight.” As if I had cancelled my flight. I know your staff did not. They obviously could not have but that insensitive, complete lack of empathy comment matched with the small refund of $18 because we reached out to VRBO and they said we had to be refunded a minimum of the tax for the night, along with the dirty or stained sheet, AND having to check out and move to another room because of “mandatory renovations” that the Islander on the Beach staff knew nothing about.. We needless to say, did not enjoy our stay as much as we had hoped we would. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

You get what you pay for
Positives first - great view of the ocean, wonderful grounds around the complex, nice pool, grill was fine, easy parking and easy to get washers/dryers in the laundry room. The entertainment unit was excellent, though no instructions how to use it. Negatives - This apartments appears not to have been renovated since Hurricane Iniki in 1992. Kitchen range/oven is rusting and the refrigerator is functional but old. Microwave and dishwasher were relatively new. The carpet is old and rather gross. Mice in the apartment. Called Val, who is suppose to address all our concerns...responded only to repair the electrical front door lock that took us 6 tries to open when we arrived after traveling 24 hours. The problem reoccurred a day and half later. Left her a voicemail message about the door and the mice. Never heard from her. The door did work fine after that, but mice turds and urine were never addressed. Really gross. The phone number for maintenance on the wall of the apartment is disconnected. I told Val, but no response. The shower faucet is ready to fall off at any time. We had no fire alarm. It was disconnected from the ceiling. We found it on the top shelf in the closet as we were packing to leave. Old and yellow. The mattress was comfortable, but the pillows were old and cheap. We saw other units in this complex that were lovely. The summary of this unit on Vrbo says nothing about no linen/sheets exchange nor unit cleaning until after you have put down your deposit. Then lo and behold, no linen/sheets exchange nor cleaning unless you pay for it. We were there for 11 nights and we had to pay for these services? I have stayed in many places in my life, but this was a first. Another way for the owner to increase his profit. The daily rental fee is more at much nicer apartments in the complex, so again, you get what you pay for. If this is what you can afford then fine, but if you are looking for a lovely apartment in Kauai, do not rent this apartment.
