My family and i, [myself, wife and mother.] The place was easy to find and conveniently located near both local shops and a chain grocery. Our rental unit was the corner unit closet to the beach/water. At approximately 20 feet from eaither doorstep/patio and another 20 or so feet to the water. The constant sounds of ebb and flow waves. Along with a steady breeze the combo of noise made where it was easy to slip into a brief nap inside the unit or outside in the beach side chairs or pool. I had never had such a relaxing vacation stay. The unit has amenities necessary for an extended stay : washer/dryer, stove, microwave, fridge, coffee maker etc (check listing for all.) I will be looking to book this unit again, should i get a chance to return to Kauai.

We have rented a lot of short term rentals all over. This may be the best value we have ever rented. I normally approach where I stay as “it’s just where I sleep” but we found the views and the comfort of this unit so wonderful, we actually adjusted some of our plans to spend more time there. We even ate almost every meal there because the views were better than any restraint we could find. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean and well maintained. It was hard to leave and we already want to go back.

Great beach/tide pool walking. Swimming pool was a big hit. No bugs or ants in house! Beautiful ocean sounds. Thank you for a wonderful stay for the second time!

We stayed 6 nights in Kapa'a and had a fantastic time. The rental was comfortable and had everything we could need. I especially liked the comfy outdoor loveseat on the lanai. There is a closet with beach chairs, masks, fins, and snorkel stuff which was nice. There's a washer and dryer which we also liked. There are lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the condo. We could hear the ocean at night, so nice! Since this is a ground floor unit people do walk by on their way to the beach but we didn't mind. We spent lots of time sitting outside enjoying the view and hanging out with the chickens and local birds.

Condo was great and was ground level corner unit right on ocean. Sheila was super helpful. Centrally located to swimming beaches and snorkeling. Perfect for family of four to stay and eat meals overlooking the ocean.

The condo is the best unit in the complex. Right on the beach with beautiful views of the coastline. Everything you need for a stay is available. New washer/dryer and all other amenities. Short walking distance to supermarket and shops, short drive to the airport, and centrally located on the east coast for easy access to all tourist destinations on the island.

Really liked the location of this condo on the property and on the island. An obstructed view of the ocean within steps of the beach. A well equipped kitchen and lots of "take to the beach" stuff. Within walking distance of Kapaa and a major grocery store right across the street. Nice to have a washer/dryer on premises.
A dresser in the bedroom(s) would be nice even if in the large closet(s).
5 stars for Sheila (housekeeping services). Easy and communication with the owner.
Would definitely stay here again.

This oceanfront property was everything we were looking for for our week-long getaway. The condo was clean, quiet, and stocked with everything we needed - towels (beach and bath), beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, and coolers to carry our lunches and drinks. All appliances were new - oven/stove, fridge, and washer/dryer, which, in particular, we made good use of. Loved sitting on the lanai each morning with breakfast and coffee, and each evening with beverages (we stocked up on essentials at the Safeway right across the street!)…just steps from the ocean! Owner Susan was very accommodating and quick to respond by email; and we met the property managers, Sheila and another gentleman (didn’t catch his name)- super-nice folks! We look forward to our next visit to Kauai - will definitely look to book this same unit! Mahalo!

This was our first trip to Hawai'i, and it was our 25th anniversary. So I wanted the trip to be the best. Thanks to Susan, it was even more than that! We stayed a week, and we loved every minute of it. The location was perfect...right on the beach, 20 feet from the sand. The sound of the waves was so soothing, and sitting out on the lanai to watch the world go by was just what we needed. We had a full kitchen, and I was able to make some delicious meals when we weren't eating at one of the area's excellent restaurants that Susan recommended.
The bed was very comfortable, and there was plenty of closet space. We didn't even use the television, but the living room was cozy. The shower had a great shower head, unlike the paltry ones at most of the hotels. And the ocean breeze was just perfect in the condo.
Susan was very attentive and friendly. I love a property owner who is truly invested in the property, and wants to do everything they can to ensure their customer is satisfied. On this particular trip, the washing machine wasn't working (and there was a shortage of new ones on the island). But we were able to work around that (and even had the offer of their property manager, Sheila, do laundry for us if needed). Ultimately, we didn't need it, and Susan still refunded us part of our money because of the "inconvenience". That is customer service!
I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to visit Kauai. A million Mahalos!

We love this place as my parents were one of the original investors back in the late 60s!!! It is centrally located to both ends of the island.
However our unit did not have ample papertowels, tp or garbage bags for our two week stay. We supplied the extra tp. Had to ask for the other items.
Our remote did not work for local tv channels even when Shiela brought in a new box.
My suggestions would be to have fans available and a safe for the unit. We are use to humidity but several other families we talked to were not, and were uncomfortable. We felt bad for them.
We enjoyed meeting the property managers. Hoping the beach comes back!!!!

Great central location with easy drive north or south. Unit has all the amenities you could need and awesome supply of beach, pool or day away necessities. Unit has a wonderful ocean breeze that keeps it comfortable day and night. Beach restoration directly out in front of the complex was in progress at time of stay but when completed will just be amazing! Enjoyed walks on the beach to the south along with seeing the occasional monk seal sleeping on the beach. Restaurant next door was fantastic and the Safeway across the street kept us well supplied.

Fabulous condo right at ocean's edge! The sound of the waves soothed our souls night and day. The host and the property manager are wonderfully responsive and truly care about your stay and anything you need.

The condo was wonderful and welcoming upon arrival. They literally have everything you need. My only issue was needing access to cleaning supplies. It needs sweeping daily and I would have liked to mop the floor a couple of times. It is on the ground floor so there is a moderate amount of foot traffic and chatter, especially when guests congregate outside the ocean side (bedrooms) at sunrise. Overall it was heaven and I would stay again.

Our family stayed here for a week. It was the perfect launching point for all our island adventures. A very clean unit, comfy beds, Well equipped kitchen. The storage closet had boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear and more. The morning sunrises were phenomenal. We will definitely stay here again.

There is no beach associated with this waterfront property because it has washed away. There are some massive bags of sand (or similar) positioned to prevent further erosion, but they are behind the signs that say to go no further.

Lovely property that is steps to the ocean! Was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up every morning to watch the sun rise. The beach isn’t exactly swimmable as there are a lot of rocks and waves at this time of the year (November) but because of the central location was really easy to get to swimmable beaches. The property is conveniently located with Safeway, Ross, Wailua shaved ice and other restaurants within walking or close driving distance. We were able to get to north shore or south shore within 30 min either way. The property owner was great to work with. Responded to all of our questions and was very flexible with any of our requests. Items of note: there is no air conditioning but it didn’t bother us as the wind from the ocean kept things cool in the condo and there is good circulation of windows are kept open. We would definitely stay here again!

Great tide-pooling, wave jumping, beach walking, and swimming right in front of you. Comfortable beds. Helpful extras for excursions- cooler, beach chairs, beach towels etc. Great pool. Great breeze in condo.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and know that anyone else would as well! Who wouldn’t want t sleep right next to the ocean listening to the waves rolling in? Just a perfect location! Communication with Susan was prompt and nice as well.

We really enjoyed this condo and this location. King size bed in primary bedroom was comfortable. Tile, kitchen, bath, decor, paint are tasteful and pleasant. Loved the lamp between the twin beds for ambient lighting first thing in the morning. We had everything we needed to cook our own meals. Location location location!

My daughter and I had an amazing stay!! Ideal location, paces from the water and even woke one morning to sea lions resting out on the rocks at low tide. Already missing the sound of the ocean, so peaceful. Kitchen allowed for affordable meals with groceries (and Starbucks!) just a short walk away. Thank you for sharing your fabulous property!

Our family (2 adults & 2 kids - ages 15 & 6) enjoyed our stay at this property. The location of the unit is literally steps to the ocean (and pool) and we LOVED falling asleep to the crash of the waves every night and waking up to the beautiful sunrise that greeted us each morning right outside our windows. This property is also located within walking distance to many stores and restaurants and ideally located on the island for us as we spent some time on the north shore and on the south shore - about a 20-30 minute drive to each. We'd definitely stay here again!

Incredible property, if watching the ocean and hearing the waves all night is your wish this is your home away from home for you.
Waking up to step outside and watch the sunrise with a fresh cup of coffee.
A walk to food and Safeway, Starbucks, ABC and Ross.
Will definitely return.

Could not have imagined a better location and view for our stay. Loved having the windows open and hearing the waves crash.
We had 5 people in our group which was a little tight with 3 beds. But our 7 year old did fine on the couch.
My only other complaint was the masters mattress. After sitting on an airplane for many hours I was hoping for something a little more comfy. The king mattress is firm. Just personal preference is more plush.
You definitely won’t be disappointed with the location and views from the property!

My fiancé and I loved our stay! The location is perfect. This ocean front condo has the best views when sitting on the patio but it is also close to many great restaurants and shopping. The kitchen is well stocked and everything you need such as laundry is conveniently there. There was even a small gift for us when we arrived. We will be staying here again on any of our trips to Kauai! Susan (the owner) and Sheila (the property manager) are easy to reach and so kind. 10/10!

Waking up to a sunrise and sleeping to the sound of the ocean - it can't get any better! The kitchen can be better equipped with cooking utensils and the bath can be fixed so the faucet is not leaky when showing. Other than that, it was perfect.

Amazing spot! Great location, short drive from the airport. Just a few steps out of the lanai and you’re right there on the beach! So relaxing! My husband and I will definitely be coming back!! Thank you!

Really amazing location, walking distance to grocery stores and a short drive to restaurants.
But the best for me was to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. I watched every single sunrise from the beach right in front of the apartment.
Everything you'll need to enjoy your stay is in the unit.
Thanks you!!

Loved the lanai, steps away from the ocean Beautiful views, trade winds & sound of waves crashing. Saw a monk seal on beach next to us. Sheila was amazing & promptly came to help with cable tv so my husband could catch the big game. Ceiling fans & 2 extra floor fans plus cross breeze was a big help on warmer more humid days. Bedroom with 2 twin beds was our favorite so we pushed them together. Would have liked for the larger bed to be off the living area closest to the lanai but we made it work!

We were seriously wowed by the condo. Incredible views of the ocean, we loved being on the ground floor and our kids really
Loved all of the grass to play in with other kids in the complex. I appreciated the keyless door so that we could come and go and a reserved parking spot. The washer and dryer was seriously a lifesaver. My only recommendation would be that the pool gate lock didn’t work so vigilantly watched my kids outside to make sure they didn’t get into the pool. The unit doesn’t have air conditioning but you don’t need it with the ocean breezes. Susan was so responsive and kind and we did a lot of her recommendations for snorkeling, sight seeing and restaurants! Thank you Susan! We’ll be back!
