Just what we were looking for! Loved the islander vibe and the view from the lanai looking out into the ocean which also offered garden views from the condo. Glad to have some beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards, etc. to use. Great location for getting around the island. Our hosts were great, quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!

First time to Kauai. This location was perfect for us-close to restaurants, groceries and many small shops. Also, the East Coast (Kapaa) was an easy drive North or South to everything we wanted to see and do. Room was very clean and had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time at Islander on The Beach (unit 244.) The view of the beach and palm trees were tranquilizing. The ocean was fantastic for swimming and lounging and was just steps away. Parking was easy and lots of shopping and restaurants close by. Very happy with our stay. Thanks Don.

It is a pleasure for me write this review... Very clean room with everything we could've needed... fridge, freezer, cable TV, DVD, WiFi, beach towels, sofa bed worked perfect for our kids, plenty of cooking appliances, dishes and utensils. More than enough clothing storage space, including a wardrobe cabinet with more clothing hangers than you'd find at a hotel.
Really appreciated the use of boogie boards, beach chairs, and cooler.
The room has a great view of the pool and beach, has a lanai with patio furniture and table. It's literally only feet away from the beach, and the Islander has placed reclining lounge furniture on the sand, barbecue grills at the pool, and flaming tiki torches every night. The resort is extremely clean and well taken care of. Loved our room and the resort. Coconut Grove marketplace has everything too... equipment rental and wide variety of activities throughout the week-- hula show, sarong tieing, farmers market, deli, cool shops.
Don and Christina have thought of every detail and have provided everything one could need. They're extremely helpful, responsive, and detailed, and they share their knowledge of the island.
Many thanks for making our vacation memorable.

This condo was absolutely wonderful. Everything worked perfectly, was very clean and comfortable, and had the best views. The resort itself was beautiful, with great landscaping, pool and proximity to the beach (although swimming was not recommended do to high surf, but this could be different during other seasons). There were great restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Everything else on the island is a short drive away. Loved the the location and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

The location is great, the room while quaint for 4 people is clean and functional. The sink is rather small for washing dishes and please be sure to have some dishwashing soap on hand. The pool is nice but the beach is rough as is very windy. There are shops nearby and access to other areas is great as Kauai is small but Kapaa is a nice area to be staying at.

We were very satisfied with our stay at this place. It was the cheapest yet the nicest of all the places we stayed in Kauai. It was very clean and well equipped. In the place there was everything we needed to make our trip more affordable and fun; boogie boards, a cooler so we could pack our own food, beach towels, plenty of cooking equipment, a freezer and more. The resort it is located in is very nice, and the beach is right there. We for sure would stay here again, and recommend it to anyone wanting to travel to Kauai!

My wife and I stayed for 2 weeks and the unit was very comfortable and Don was very helpful. It was our first stay in a studio suite so we had to get used to not having a full kitchen. It was no big deal and we barbecued at the pool every night. A great way to meet other guests. We did have some difficulty getting wifi in the unit, however, it is easily available in the lobby. The beach out front was very nice and the view from the unit was mostly of the pool and inner courtyard. The complex is quiet and very well kept. This area is central so getting to either end of the island is pretty easy when traffic isn't heavy. We would recommend this unit and would book it again when returning to the island.

Mahola. We loved your Island retreat, it was perfect! We met such wonderful people and ate at great resturants. We managed to see everything we wanted to without renting a car. We rode the city bus for a dollar each way seeing the North end of the island. We took a very intersting bus tour to the south/west part of the island. Also, had a great time at the Smith's Luau. The condo was in a perfect location. Great view, close to the ocean and wonderful breezes. We celebrated my husbands birthday on Kauai. Would definately love to go back again.

Had everything we needed. Just steps from the ocean. Good starting point for all island exploration being situated kind of in the middle of the north side and the south/east side. Close to airport. Even used the boogie board and it was fantastic! Reservations were easy to make and I would certainly recommend.

My family and I recently stayed here and we were very happy with the place. Being that it's located on the East side, it makes it easier to get to all parts of the Island. The property is right in front of the pool and just a few steps away, the beach! It's also very close to the shops, restaurants and grocery.
The unit is as clean as advertised and very comfortable. We really appreciated all the utensils provided: clean towels, kitchenware, cooler, extra linen sheets, iron & board, Kauai travel guides, etc...
Don is very good with communication and makes the booking process smooth and easy. He made sure we were able to get in OK and followed up after our stay.
Thank you for making our very nice stay in Kauai! We will definitely book this place again!

For the price, this place was perfect and had everything we needed!
The location was fantastic. Located on the beach, it was nice to walk a few steps and read a book with the ocean at your feet or relax at the pool and hot tub and grab a cocktail at the pool bar in the evening. Located on the East Side, it's right in the middle of the North and South shore making it easy to explore (with a rental car of course)
We really appreciated the beach cooler, chairs, beach towels and all the kitchenette utensils.
The owners were extremely quick to respond with any questions and we felt very safe and taken care of during our time here.
We would stay here again on our next trip to Kauai!

This studio was a very good choice. Great location if you like to explore Kauai. The whole property (Islander on the beach) is super clean, nice staff at the reception.
The studio is well equipped (every thing you need) and in a very good condtion. we made our own breakfast and had it on the lanai every morning. (Supermarkets neraby) In the bathroom were enough towels, also for the beach. Good idea: the provided beach stuff. But good to know that the beach infront of the property is good for relaxing and walking but not for swimming. But a 3min drive away is the Lydgate Beach Park, there you can swim safely. Or you jump in the pool.
Next to the pool is a BBQ-grill so we prepared our steak or fish. Also the bar by the pool is great (nice service, deliciuos drinks).
The owner Don was very helpfull with everything:contact and making the agreement and payment were easy, without any problems. Don anserwed all my emails very quickly.
Overall:a very good choice. Mahalo and Aloha, Don and Christina. We will highly recommend your studio.
PS. By the way:there were constructions (very noisy from 8 am.) at the building behind Oahu wing. That was the only thing we did not like.

Don's unit at Islander on the Beach was simply perfect! The location is great, it was very easy to get everywhere in the island. The room itself was in a perfect condition, with some beach equipment and a lovely balcony for breakfast. The hotel's pool is awesome and we spent almost every evening sipping drinks by the pool bar.
Don was extremely helpful and responsive and answered all my questions quickly and efficiently.
I highly recommend this unit for a perfect Kauai vacation!

My wife and I loved this unit! We spent our 10 year wedding anniversary on Kauai, and unit #244 meet all of our needs and then some! The owners were a pleasure to work with, answering all of our questions promptly. Being located on the east side made for a great central location on the island. We enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning from the beach which is literally steps away from the room. Overall our trip was amazing and we highly recommend this unit.

My husband and I just spent 12 wonderful days in Kauai. We're avid hiking enthusiasts and Kauai didn't disappoint. No annoying insects, spectaculars views and terrific weather. The studio was exactly as described, clean and well decorated. The grounds are well maintained with a great beach just steps away. Booking was extremely simple and stress free. The resort location is very central for hiking and beaches. There are lots of opportunity for shopping and dining for folks that enjoy those activities as well.
We had to come home for a rest....til next time!
Thanks again, Christine and Don
