Our host was very attentive and prompt responding. We asked for early check-in and she made it happen. We loved the “hidden “ beach right next to the condo. Beautiful !! At close proximity is the Wailua River where we also walked for a kayak tour. Having Lava Lava Restaurant, and other shops and restaurants at a walking distance, was a plus. The pool area is small, but very well maintained.
The condo is nicely equipped with beach chairs, buggy boards, ice chest, umbrellas, and beach towels. Kitchen is also equipped with anything needed for making your meals, along with basic cooking condiments. The bed was very comfortable and has AC in bedroom . Though, no AC in the living room, which was a bit tough for those sleeping on sofa bed. Overall, location was perfect for us .

Was an amazing trip. The island itself is serenity and this stay is amazing. Comfortable and clean and the grounds are very nice.

Candace was always very pleasant to speak to and quick to respond. Unit was nice with great view from balcony. Only adjustment was not having full A/C - there is unit in the bedroom and a fan in the living area; however, we did fine. Convenient location to airport and a nice cafe across the street to eat at; plus a gas station close by.

We liked that this condo was super close to everything we wanted to do on our trip. The condo was clean- and the bed was super comfy! The temperature inside was comfortable, and we didn’t have any issues with the property. The view of the beach was great from the balcony, we enjoyed watching people wind surf out the window. Main reason for choosing this condo was its central location to the activities we had planned for the trip. There are also lots of yummy restaurants within walking distance.

Located in Kapaa, it is a central location with short travels to anything you want to do. Private balcony overlooks the beach and ocean. Beautiful pool area. Recommend this location/ unit for your enjoyment.

The location and view were wonderful; however, the condo had several issues that made our stay sub par. The bed was horrible—most uncomfortable. We would recommend that the owner replace the mattress and sheets before renting again. Throw rugs in the bathroom and kitchen as well as the screen door to the patio are dangerous. I fell onto the patio as a result of the problems with the screen door. Both of us tripped on the rugs. Fortunately, we did not fall. I, did, however, have some deep cuts on my arm and sore places on my torso as a result of the fall on the patio. .

Location and check in was great. Condo is within walking distance to many good restaurants and activities. Condo could use some repairs and upgrades as others have mentioned. Screen doors, bathroom walls and toilet kept running. Carpet in unit was a turn off. Street noise and construction made having the air conditioner white noise useful. Bed was comfortable

Nice central location on the island and the brewery across the street was a plus. We have stayed at this development previously with a much different experience.
Unit 203 is tired and in need of an upgrade. While the unit was recently painted, there are several maintenance issues in need of attention. The patio door needs replaced, currently a series of wood shims are holding the door in a quasi workable condition. The screen door is only useable by holding on to the bottom portion to keep it from falling off the tracks. I would not want to have any young children near this door. Offers to remove the screen would have created an unworkable situation in a unit that is not air conditioned. The patio door curtain appears to have mold on the lining. The shower doors need to be fixed or replaced and the toilet handle sticks.
This unit is very close to the main road through the area, definitely a consideration for light sleepers. Our previous stay was in a unit closer to the middle of the development and was much quieter. The units near the road also have a close up view of an old structure that appears past due for demolition. The small beach area below the unit is a popular place for local fisherman, which is fine, however, the burning of wet driftwood creates quite an unpleasant odor.
I hate to sound like a complainer, however our stay was only four days over a weekend so I did not bring all of these items to the attention of the property manager.

This place had everything we needed and many extras. The view was fabulous from the balcony and living room.
The pool and the grounds were excellent. The location was great, the only drawback being the traffic noise from the street, but the sound of the waves pretty much neutralized that.
The following items were not satisfactory: the screen on the sliding door came off and needs replacing, the wall in the bathroom needs repair, the tub faucet needs replacing. Honestly, with some basic renovation, this place could easily be a 4- star.
All in all, it was a wonderful stay.

Spectacular ocean views on this 2nd floor unit. We stayed with 2 teens and 1 used the pullout and Candace was nice enough to send an air mattress for the other. Kitchen fully stocked, pans, plates and a few spices, oils. Beds were comfy. Pool was great. Access to beach, shopping and bakery near by. All within walking distance. This is a well loved unit and can use some new carpet and repairs to the sliding glass doors, but the view made it all worth it. Road noise in front bedroom might be an issue for some, but was fine for us as we live in a big city. Value of this condo would bring us back again.

In truth, we spent very little time during daylight hours in the unit, and it was adequate for our needs. The location is convenient for both south and north side island activities whether it is Waimea Canyon hiking or Hanalei Bay / Na Pali Coast surfing, snorkeling or exploring. Grocery stores are close and you can walk to the Coconut Market.
The unit is well equipped for basic needs. One of the Tommy Bahama beach chairs was broken beyond repair so we hand to purchase a replacement. The unit is only air ci destined by a portable unit in the bedroom and the e rest of the unit gets very stuffy during the day. But the bedroom unit cools the sleeping area adequately well for comfortable sleeping.
It looks like the carpets, paint and furnishings have not been replaced for more than a decade but are comfortable and for the little time we spent in the unit (mostly watching Netflix after dark) was just fine.
The best part of the unit is the view the value.
For value and convenience we would consider staying here again!

The beachfront location of this condo is great for watching the waves. Perfect location makes it easy to get to anywhere on the island. One drawback of the location of this condo was the road that was close and very busy and loud day and night. Check in and check out process was very quick and easy. I had noticed other reviews saying that the screen door was broken, unfortunately it was still broken for our visit. One of the beach chairs and a chair on the lanai was also broken. The condo was very clean but needs some attention and updating. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. The pool was very cold, even on a hot day. Overall a great condo for the price.

Really nice space with a fabulous view of the beach which is easily accessed from the condo building. Some street noise BUT closing the bedroom windows eliminated that.
Would absolutely recommend this place to others.

This condo was exactly what we were looking for. Located right off the main road, it was easy to get around. The beach right next door was beautiful and it was a quick walk to and from a little shopping mall and differemt beach up the road. Many restaurants in walking distance also. Having in room laundry was a perk, and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. Bedroom was comfortable with the AC, and the rest of the condo stayed pretty cool with windows open and fans on. You can tell the condo is a bit dated but for the cost, it is more than worth it. Would definitely stay again.

We stay at this complex due to the great ocean view and location, depending on the price and availability of the units. There are tradeoffs: the nicer, upgraded units are more expensive.
Pros: Beach equipment, numerous towels & hangers, kitchen accoutrements, A/C and sound machine in bedroom.
Cons: screen doors need to be replaced, tripping hazard separates kitchen, carpet dinginess, dingy foam sofa.
The screen doors were in terrible shape. The righthand door was completely off the tracks, leaning against the lanai, and the lefthand one barely moved. We asked the property manager about it the next day. Although the response was quick, we were told that they had "screen door specialists working on the door" who have "been making great progress." (???) And someone "will come in the morning" to work on it. No one came after two more days, at which time we reached out again. Although someone did eventually come, the doors remained difficult to move. Multiple reviewers have mentioned the screen doors, which continue to be problematic. They need to be replaced.
The carpet in the photos looks newly cleaned and thus didn't represent what we experienced; it could really use a thorough cleaning. There is an unfortunately located raised laminate bar thingie on the floor separating the kitchen from the hall that we both hurt our feet on.
While we'd stay here again, just know the unit is dated and the screen doors are in sore shape. The ocean view is always a winner!

My family really enjoyed the condo and the views. The decor was cute and cozy, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking needs, and having beach chairs and an ice chest was nice: The back bedroom is air-conditioned and far from the front of the condo. My husband and I were cool in there, but the teens slept in the living room, and the ocean breeze was limited by the condo wall next door. A fan was supplied from maintenance, which helped us with the heat. The place was clean, but a few updates (screens, shower doors, bed pillows) could make this place perfect. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

The rental was wonderful in every way. Beautiful view and comfortable, clean living space. Plenty of room for 4 adults. Easy walk to beach and hose for showering off sand was super helpful! Great location for getting anywhere around the island. Nearby Safeway and drug store. In room washer/dryer was a plus too! Would highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Wailua Bayview. The condo was very clean and was exactly as advertised. I especially appreciated the beach gear. I fell in love with Kauai, and I would definitely stay here again. The location is perfect for exploring any place on the island with approximately 40 minute drives for the north shore or poipu. Waimea canyon is also a reasonable drive from here. The condo itself was very comfortable and the perfect place to relax after our adventures. This was a trip I will never forget!

We enjoyed our stay at this Wailua Bay condo. It is in a central location on the main road that takes you to Lihue, the South shore or the North Shore.. Even though it is close to the road,, the traffic noise didn't bother us. A sandy, swimming beach is right next door.
When we weren't out exploring the beautiful island of Kauai, we were jrelaxing on the balcony overlooking the ocean and enjoying the cool breezes.
The condo could use an update. The furniture and carpet appear old and need a good cleaning. The bed was a bit soft but comfortable. The air conditioner sits in a corner of the bedroom and cooled the room down nicely.. The kitchen had a minimal supply of dishes, pots and pans, and utensils - enough to cook simple meals - unless you want to cook in the microwave - there wasn't anything to do that. There was salt and pepper but no other spices or staples, and nothing like saran wrap, tin foil, or ziplocs.
Overall, this was a good place for our stay on Kauai.

We enjoyed staying here, it fit our needs, there is some traffic/ construction on the main street that made it a little hard getting in and out but for the most part we were leaving early enough in the day for our excursions it wasn't a problem. It was nice being able to see the beach from this condo.

had a great time at this condo for my stay on Kauai! it had everything I need for my stay , it had a great location and was close to everything. I was gone most days but when I returned for the night I felt right at home. the condo has a great view where I would spend my morning having coffee while watching the waves hit the beach. the unit had a washer & dryer which is one of the best things to have, it allowed me to not have to bring a lot of clothes I was able to do laundry without having to try a laundromat. There is an AC unit in the bedroom which allowed me to sleep very well, wish the living room also had one I could have enjoyed it more when it was hot. like I said I was gone most of the time so wasn't a hug issue. Overall I would highly recommend this place & would return on my next visit.

Arrived on a Tues in late June for a 4 night stay. The room has an incredible ocean view an accommodated a family of our 4 fairly easily. To be honest, we were up very early and not back home until later every day. For that purpose, the lodging worked well. We're not the type of family that dwells on staying in our room during a trip to Hawaii. Room was fairly clean with no real issues to point out. We almost never turned on the TV and we didn't eat any meals at the residence. I would recommend this condo but always balance who you are, what you expect, and what you're paying so that you and those staying with you can have a good experience. Thanks again

The location is actually good in spite of the traffic jams in Wailua area on a daily basis. Plan to either get out early or sit in traffic. Morning and afternoons especially clogged up on highway.
Kauai was home to me for 40 years so this trip was not really about seeing the sites, but about seeing my kids and grandkids who still live here. We made use of pool and bbq area 2 of the 3 nights we were here. Thanks! It was great!
Loved walking down to Coconut Marketplace for evening meal and live music at center stage. Many places to choose from for eats.

Lovely little condo with a great view. Had a couple of minor issues on check-in and they were addressed immediately. Good location for north or south shore activities and close to stores and shopping. Great price too! Would definitely book it again.
