love to stay at this place. I only wish there's is AC.. it is hot and stuffy in the condo.. thanks god for the fans. but adding AC for nighttime would be nice.

This is a good place for two people. They had dishes, microwave, towels and most anything you may need. The bed was comfy and the shower has excellent hot water and pressure. The host was quick to respond to our request for extra pillows. ☺️ The beach is right around the back and it’s quiet. The A/c works great and they even have several fans in the room. The property is centrally located for easy walking to shops and food. Ross is right across the street for quick necessities. My only disappointment was the parking. If you’re paying that much you expect to be able to park close by. The parking lot was mostly empty but you will not be able to park there. You have to park under some trees that will leak sap all over your rental car. We winded up having to wash our rental twice that week because we couldn’t see to drive. So a dedicated parking spot up close would have been nice. My other recommendation would be to put a door sealer or pad at the bottom of the front door because there is a huge gap with causes noise and the A/C to leak out. We rolled up a small blanket and placed it under the door but it could be an easy fix. Also adding a cheap electric tea kettle would be amazing. Thanks again!

We would definitely stay in this unit again. It was perfect for the two of us. Coffee in the morning on the balcony overlooking the ocean was lovely.

Apartment was conveniently located and as described. Though it was also showing signs of wear. Had a hard time figuring out if we were turning the ac warmer since displays didn’t work.

The location and views were great! The condo was very nice but needs a little more personal or homey feel. The kitchen is very sparce. I like to cook most of our meals to save money.

Clean apartment with everything you need for your vacation. Supermarket is directly across the street, plenty of food trucks are nearby. Location is very good, as all parts of the island are easy to reach. The beach of the condo is not really a swimming beach, but that was totally fine for us, as there are so many beautiful beaches to go and the pool works totally great for short cool downs.

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.

The condo was great, clean and very well stocked. Sheila was attentive to our needs and made sure that we did not need anything. It was a great central location for all the activities we wanted to do whether to the south or north of the island.

We stay on Kaua’i often and we will look for this condo from now on. We love the location in Kapaa where our favorite coffee shop, juice bar, fish deli, and shave ice spots are located. We loved having a washer/dryer and AC at night. The beds were extremely comfortable tempurpedic style mattresses. Communication and date modifications were easy. Great place and host!

This place was such a nice spot for our vacation. Such a cute little unit with an amazing view. One thing to consider is air conditioning. Our unit did not have air conditioning. They do have lots of fans available to use which was really nice. The air conditioning situation didn't bother us at all but if you are someone who needs air conditioning this might be an inconvenience. Also the beach. The walk is super easy and it it right there. Although beautiful it is not quite swimable because of the rocks. It is only minor because swimable areas are available just down the way! such an amazing place it was perfect for my family!!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 1. We were not notified that the rental was a private party and that local manager was not supportive of issues2. The mattress needs to be replaced. We had back aches for 2 weeks3. Inadequate outdoor lounge chairs to accommodate the number of guests and no umbrellas to avoid sun burn.4. Unit was filthy and mid stay cleaning only included sheets and towels changing. We had a 1 inch size roach in living area. 5. Locks on screen and sliding door broken.6. Couch cushions were old and ptobided no support7. Tub was slippery and we had to purchase mat so we would not fall. 8. Curtains in living roo, should have tie backs so venting window can circulate air

My family enjoyed our stay. The location is great, right on the ocean, very close to a grocery store and restaurants. Property is clean, nicely decorated and easily fits family of 4. Jay was very responsive and helpful. We would come back.

We absolutely loved the condo. Well located in Kapa’a, with all service easily accessible by walking. Just next to the beach, easy to take a coffee during the sunrise, or stay on the lawn chair on the balcony to watch the stars. It’s probably the best equipped kitchen we’ve seen on a vacation home. As a family of 3, it the best condo or home we ever rented. The owner was quick to resolve a minor issue and really efficient. We’re giving 5 stars! We had a few extras like the beach chairs, snorkel equipment, bosrds, beach towels, beach mat, parasil and cooler. Everything needed for a beach day.

This property was an amazing place to stay for our vacation. Waking up to the peaceful, serene sunrise was priceless. I rented a bike to ride to and from the Coconut Marketplace for breakfast and coffee. The property is perfect, and I would highly recommend staying here. The constant ocean breeze made air conditioning unnecessary. Our host, Vickki, was very accommodating and ensured everything was to our liking.

This beachfront condo offers direct access to pristine sandy shores and sunrises. Plenty of amenities on the property to go with the clean unit at a decent price. Centrally located to airport, beaches and lots of stores and restaurants.

August 2024

Great property exactly as listed. The location is great as you are centrally located between north and south shore. Walking distance to the grocery store, incredible shave ice and amazing sushi. The view on the beach is spectacular and their are two pools for a quick dip. Not a huge place but it makes a great basecamp for seeing the sights. Super close to secret falls and the sleeping giant trail which are both must see attractions. We would stay again in a heartbeat and you cant beat the price! We loved our time here and cant wait to see Kauai again!

Great condo, feel lucky we found it. As advertised it is corner end unit ocean front. Very clean fully stocked unit. We appriciated the extra supplies like dishwasher and laundry tabs as well as cleaning supplies so we could keep the kitchen clean. NO bugs whatsoever, took the rubbish out each day. The comfortable bed. We were happy there was the portable AC in the bedroom and used it at night.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed at many vacation rentals and this one is top notch! Fully stocked kitchen, linens and everything in between! We loved the ocean front pool and lounge chairs. So close to groceries and restaurants. Right on the main road, but not loud/busy. It was a wonderful stay and I will book again!

We couldn’t be happier with our stay! Our condo was spotless when we arrived and we loved having all the utensils and dishes for our meals. We walked to the beach everyday and figured it took us less than 5 minutes to get there. There is a Safeway, Ross, and ice cream shop across the street too. We can’t recommend this property enough!

Magnificent location! End unit with wonderful sunrise views from the balcony. The unit was very clean and stocked. The washer and dryer is a huge bonus (bring liquid soap). Assigned parking spot is conveniently located next to elevator if you choose to use. Wonderful cool ocean breeze from every angle is amazing as well.

July 2024

David's condo is suitable for 2 people. It is furnished with a king sized bed and is actually very spacious for a studio. We loved starting each day by opening our front door, cup of coffee in hand, and walking less than 50 yards to the beach to watch the sunrise. The location was perfect for us because it is halfway between the north and the south. If you have excursions planned like hiking, diving, kayaking, snorkeling, or exploring remote beaches, then this condo will be just right for you. If you are looking for a place where you want to spend the bulk of your visit and cook your meals in-unit, then you might be disappointed here. We loved our stay here and we would book again. The communication with our host was excellent from start to finish and the property as a whole is very well taken care of. It is quiet here, too. As a bonus, each time you drive out of the complex, you are facing a beautiful Wyland mural that you get to admire.

Wonderful views especially during sunrise. The breezes off the ocean always kept the condo cool with refreshing smells, and the constant sounds of the ocean put you to sleep at night. Beautiful beaches to walk. The condo was clean and had everything we needed to cook in most days. The hot water availability was a bit iffy but I would definitely stay here again.

Rosa R.
July 2024

Overall the stay was okay. I feel “steps to the beach” might be misleading and even dangerous for some. I’m a seasoned traveler and have been to Hawaii many times and grew up fairly close to beaches. The beach this unit is steps to is definitely not ideal for beginning swimmers or people who are not aware of the power of the ocean. I knew this was a possibility when I booked but kept an open mind. I’d still like to warn future travelers. The sink faucet was missing buttons to switch to spray mode. The dishwasher wasn’t useful at all. We ran it once and it barely did anything, and then wound up washing everything by hand. No recycling cans on the property that we are aware of. It’s weird that so many other units have a reserved parking space but this unit does not. This is disclosed in the listing but I found it odd that some units do have a space but some don’t, It also appeared to be the only unit without air conditioning in that building. The sliding screen doors were both coming off the track. They were not able to fix that right away but assured me they’d have it fixed after I leave. They were prompt in responding. I hope this helps the host and future customers. Mahalo. 🙏

Location was great. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to be able to go to anywhere on the island in no more than an hour. Kapaʻa is a great town with a lot of restaurant options. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to explore the island and stay away from the crowds of the resort areas.

July 2024

Everything about this location is perfect. Literally steps from the beach as the listing describes. All the amenities you can possibly need - even had some basic cooking ingredients/seasonings in the pantry (which were maybe left by previous guests). My two kids (10 and 8) also enjoyed their own bed each. The washer was broken which would have caused a minor inconvenience. But hey, unforeseen and uncontrollable things can happen at any time. What matters is how the hosts handle those situations. Jay was quick to respond and Sheila helped us get our laundry done. So it all worked out in the end. I believe Jay said he's getting a replacement so subsequent guests shouldn't have this issue. The only issue I can think of is that the electronic door lock sometimes took a couple tries to unlock. But again, minor issue which I believe will get resolved soon. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here on our next trip to Kauai!

Our stay at this condo was really great. We really appreciated all things provided like beach chairs and boogie boards. It’s perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids. Safeway was walking distance along with many restaurants. Overall, highly recommend!

Great little condo in a great location with beautiful sunrises! Halfway between Ha'ena State Park and Waimea Canyon, it was a great spot to see both sides of the island without moving mid trip. Good restaurants in walking distance and a grocery store very close. Note the AC is only on the bedroom and the beach is not for swimming.

This condo was even better than advertised and the hosts were very quick to respond to any questions. Very well stocked on anything you need for a stay on Kauai. Condo was clean & beautifully decorated and you can’t beat the view on the lanai! We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to Kauai

Overall good place to stay, Safeway was right across for convenience of grocery shopping. The beach however is rocky but you can walk to other areas too. My only complaint was its proximity to the busy street and getting used to sleeping at night with traffic sound. But its central location made it worth it.
RAJ C.
July 2024

I had a wonderful time here with my daughter. The location was perfect, walkable to the grocery store and restaurants as well as an easy drive to all points of the island. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the ocean view. The place was spacious and had everything we needed ! Thank you for a great stay.
