We had an enjoyable 9 day stay. Lost a day due to airline issues. Our condo was very clean but we had
several electrical issues. None interfered significantly with our stay though.

This condo is located next to great shopping and LiLikoi just down the road had excellent food. The condo is clean supplied with necessities to get started with a grocery store located about a mile away to pick up other food items need for the visit. The beach is only a 5 minute walk that we hit daily. The wagon their made it easy to lug our stuff down.
Diane was super easy to work with on booking and changes we made. She has a binder with fun activities with contact information. We liked that for all excursions we went to the longest was 30 minutes with the rest being 10-15 minutes with the airport only 5 minutes away.
The only thing we would have liked better was newer cooking pots and pans.

I took my 12yo son to a week long vacation trip right after New Year holidays. We had a perfect time and returned home refreshed and full of energy. The condo is clean, well equipped and comfortable, has a nice backyard. Walking access to beach, convenientce store, food restaurants. Diane is a great host showing true care about her guests. We hope to visit Kauai and stay there again some day.

This unit has had some nice upgrades e.g. granite countertops, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, kitchenware, vacuum, newer washer/dryer. Well stocked with extra paper products and cleaning supplies as well as books, games, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and umbrella. Beds were comfortable. Not the Ritz, but great value!! Diane was a super host.

We had a very enjoyable stay. We had every thing we needed to be comfortable for the week. It was so nice to be able to eat in when needed and the pool was a plus with a great view. This was a pretty central location for us and we were able to visit most of the island. The chickens were entertaining as well.

Th unit is Clean, neat & full of kitchen stuffs like cookwares, utensils, seasoning, napkins, towel paper… There are beach towels, coolers, mosquitoes repellent & beach toys just like mentioned on the website.
The owner, Diane, was very responsive, providing us detail of checking in & out. She was also very flexible on checking in & out time.
The backyard of the unit is spectacular with the forest view. We enjoyed sitting outside in the balcony in the evening, so peaceful & beautiful.
Would definitely recommend Diane’s unit with friends & family.
Thanks Diane for letting us stay at your unit.
Mahalo,

We loved the location to explore all parts of the island. We quickly felt at home in the condo and anything we needed was nearby. Highly recommend this condo. It comes with pet roosters to enjoy each time you sit on the lanai.

Pros: Unit was clean and had lots of things to take to beach. Easy to get to from airport with beach across the way. Diane was easy to communicate with
Con: really only negative was the people above seemed to stomp late at night and in the morning. But that can happen anywhere.
Location was great and we felt very competitively priced.

This condo is in a great location, close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. If you’re driving you can go in either direction for great sight seeing and activities.
The place is clean and bathrooms and kitchen have been nicely updated.
There is some traffic noise and of course the chickens. The only bad thing I can say is that the upstairs neighbor isn’t very thoughtful that there are people below.
Would I stay here again? Yes; for the price you probably won’t find a better location.

We enjoyed our month stay here very much. It was the most relaxed vacation we've ever been on. The central location is perfect for day trips exploring what Kauai has to offer. The nearby beach is ideal. The beds were very comfortable. You can hear the roosters, but we found them charming. We would love to stay here again! Mahalo!

Great location and all the needed amenities. We may be different than a lot of people given the reviews but we found the beds very uncomfortable (far too hard) and the couch very uncomfortable as well. The upstairs neighbors were very loud waking us up many times. It's a great base with the necessary items but if you want to spend any time just relaxing in the unit, it might not be for you.

On-site check in was a breeze. The condo and complex were both pristine. We cooked in often and took picnic lunches on our adventures. The condo had everything we needed. The many fans, ceiling and portable, circulate the air conditioning nicely. We enjoyed the Hawaiian prints and decor. Fresh tropical flowers when we arrived were delightful. The condo has a peaceful garden view including a resident rooster. Diane’s tip to park in the upper parking lot was a great suggestion and it was only a few steps down to the condo. The location is great for seeing the whole island. Easy day trips everywhere. We do recommend Lydgate Beach for a calm beach experience.
Diane worked with us to add a half day to our vacation to accommodate a very late night flight which was greatly appreciated!

Pros:
- good location for exploring the island
- nice community with BBQ area and pool
- beach, restaurants and ABC store in walking distance
- kitchen adequately equipped
- lots of beach equipment
- furniture in sleeping rooms is nice
Cons:
- noise from street and upstairs neighours
- rather dark inside, lights were needed most of the day
- generally clean with minor shortcomings (carpet not vacumed, dust not sufficiently removed from fans and ceiling)
- sofa/couch needs to be replaced asap
Summed up it was a good accommodation for our 7 day trip, but nothing overwhelming.

Kauai vacation— The property was very close to many of our excursions and to the beach. The owners provided lots of beach towels and beach equipment. They were very responsive to any request that we made. It also had a nice pool area.

Good location and would be great for two couples to rent as there are two very separate rooms, bathrooms and patios. Diane responded to emails immediately. Great experience!

Just as listed in photos but road noise and upper level sound transfer can be an issue.
Great kitchen, comfy beds, lots of room and additional amenities like beach equipment. Very helpful on- site staff and the location is excellent for seeing most of the Island sites.

Our stay at this 2 bedroom property,met all of our needs. Location was great. A 5 min walk to the beach and restaurants was a bonus. Location was perfect, to explore the north or south part of Kauai. Owner communicated with us to keep us informed with any questions we had.

We enjoyed our time here. Nice location. Comfortable beds. Nice updated bathrooms. Lower level so heard upstairs neighbors a lot. Rooster are great morning alarms right outside bedroom window. Apartment had most things we needed. Washer and dryer was nice addition. We would return, nothing fancy but certainly nice rental.

The location was perfect for us. Our son lives less than a mile away.
Friendly community. Really liked "living" in the condo over any sort of resort or hotel.
Diane was great to text back and take care of any little thing. There was only one and it was minor.
Will hope to stay here again. I like dealing with the known not the un known. I really had no surprised other than how nicely remodeled the place was. Very comfortable for both myself and my wife. Ground floor was a must and we got to park right in front of our door.
Thanks Diane, call ya soon!

We just returned from 10 days in Kauai at the Banyon Harbour. We were really pleased with the location and all the amenities that the condo had. Diane the owner is very accomodating and is easy to work and communicate with.
Loved the pool, the barbeque area, the office had lots of info on tours and everything very close to Harbour Mall where you can pick up things at ABC Store ,5 mins from Costco and the other mall for shopping. Kalapaki beach was in walking distance. Loved the beach amenities in the condo to use. Saves buying and hauling stuff from home.
Will be returning some day for sure.
MAHALO Diane!

Place was clean and quiet. Diane was quick to respond to any inquiry. The walls are a little thin as these units are dated. But for the price you really can’t beat this location. The North Shore and Waimea Canyon are equidistant from this condo. Grill was nice and close to the Apartment also. Highly recommend this place

The condo is in good location. Very convenient to food and gift stores. One suggestion to owner is bathroom needs to be updated.

Our family 2A/2C stayed here for 7 nights. We found the unit to be presented clean. The bathrooms and kitchen and overall decor is very dated. The shower curtain in the second bathroom had mould over it and the bathroom had a roach problem. The lanai furniture was tired and dirty. The unit was very noisy, especially in the morning from road and occasional plane traffic. I had to chase up the reutrn of our deposit. We won't be staying here again.

Our Banyan Harbor stay was excellent. The unit is very well furnished and the kitchen is supplied with everything needed for cooking. Its central location makes it ideal for exploring both "ends" of the road, about an hour either way. Too, it is well located for shopping (Walmart/Costco/grocery store/etc) and for restaurants. And it's nice being so close to the airport. Being 5 minutes from the airport can be a huge benefit since Kauai traffic can be a nightmare during rush hours if you're staying many miles away. The only downside is that there are no TVs in the bedrooms. This was no problem for us but for others, it might be.

Very close to shopping and food. We often walked to breakfast and dinner.
Liked the garden lanais. Clean comfortable, washer dryer great surprise, very useful.
Fans were helpful, a/c not strong enough. Super location one of the better views in complex.
September 2013
My family and I had a great time staying at this property! It was spacious enough for 4 adults and 2 children. I love that it was at ground level, it was easy to bring the groceries inside. Thank you for all of the extras...beach towels, cooler, beach chairs, Tupperware, Ziploc bags, etc! It is centrally located in the island. Kalapaki beach is a nice area and there are also restaurants nearby (walking distance). My family and I will definitely come back again and hopefully stay in this unit! Mahalo, Diane!

My coworker and I rented this condo for 5 days while we served at the Kauai County Fair. We selected it because of its great location near the airport and Vidinha Stadium.
At the time we were checking it out online,there weren't any reviews because it was a new rental property on VRBO, but because of its great price we thought it couldn't hurt to try out.
Well we were pleasantly surprised. The condo is charming. Much of it has been newly renovated. It was nice to have 2 full baths and 2 nice size rooms. It's not fancy but it is cozy and quaint. This condo also had a washer and dryer so we could clean our clothes. Plus it had the most comfortable beds and couch. An extra bonus is that the condo is within walking distance from some great restaurants. I definitely recommend Dukes or JJ's Broiler right off the water.
The only confusion we had was with where the location was. For some reason GPS had difficulty, finding it. You can check into this condo at the Banyan Harbor. It is a really simple check in process once you know where to go.
If you are looking for an adorable little spot to vacation in Lihue, you cannot beat the price for a better place.
July 2013
Our experience was exceptionable. The owner was extremely helpful and courteous. The unit is very clean, and the amenities nearby are exactly as described.
Many new improvements to the unit and it was kept very clean. The owner also had a very extensive knowledge of the island and helped us with many choices.
We will definitely return and have kept Diane's number and happily recommend her to our friends.
Well done.
