The location is busy but the view from balcony is gorgeous. Walking distance to Lyngate, coconut marketplace, lava lava restaurant. AC in bedroom. Luke is very easy to communicate with. AA++

First Ilse was very kind to permit us to reschedule our visit from March to September. Thank you. The property is very centrally located and the pictures are accurate. The view from the balcony is terrific. Our main gripe was the stuffy feeling because even though we bought two giant fans to force fresh air into the apartment we were dying in the stuffy atmosphere. Thick pile carpet made the place seem dingier and stuffier than reality. The ac in the bedroom was effective somewhat, but that meant trying to stay there most of the time. The kitchen was well stocked. Washer and dryer worked well. The bathroom was ok....not unpleasant, but clearly dated and could use a thorough clean up but ideally a full remodel.

The property is amazing! Sounds of the surf and stunning views abound! But we especially loved the location, which was located strategically between south and north sides of the island. Very close to shopping and restaurants which made quick decisions very easy. Thank you for playing a huge part of our memorable experience!!

We loved staying right on the ocean here. Kitchen was well stocked. Bathroom is large! Air conditioning cooled down the bedroom quickly! Would recommend this to anyone and would love to stay again!

The condo was dated, but overall we enjoyed our stay. Luke did tell me the condo is scheduled for renovation next spring. The air conditioning was great in the bedroom but the rest of the condo was very hot. The windows on the front door didn’t open so we couldn’t get a cross breeze to cool things off. I appreciate having beach towels and an umbrella provided. This condo works well if you plan to spend your days exploring the island rather than staying inside.

Great view of Wailua Bay, enjoyed eating on the lanai. Nice to have chairs, umbrellas and icechests. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed. Bed very comfortable and blackout curtains. Excellent communication with Mgr., he responded quickly to messages. Most important, would we stay here again? Most definitely YES!

This unit was super quiet. We had the beach below practically to ourselves, outside of a few local fishermen who added to the scene. The owner quickly responded to all questions, and was very helpful with suggestions for the area's activities. We would recommend this rental.

A beautiful ocean front setting near lots of restaurants and shops as well. Overall a clean condo, but for the price of the stay plus fees, the cleaners should have done a better job with the somewhat out of site areas.

The location was perfect. I loved how it sits up on a small bluff overlooking the ocean and the beach is just steps away. We ate breakfast almost every morning enjoying the view and watching the sunrise! The condo was incredibly clean and I felt at home immediately! I am a travel advisor and have already recommended this place to several friends and clients. Thank you and can’t wait to come back!!

The property is tired, needs some updating. The area rug on the worn out carpet is a tripping hazard for older people. The bedroom is nice, very comfy bed. I cleaned the coffee pot so I could use it. A replacement is needed. I also cleaned the filter in the dishwasher so it could actually clean the dishes. The location close to the Coconut shopping center was great. The condo is in a very good location for traveling around the island. It was so great to see the beautiful sunrises every morning while having coffee on the lanai.

September 2024

The property is in a great location, central to everything. The property is well maintained and the view from our condo was nothing short of amazing! It was well stocked with everything you would need to go to the beach, cook, snorkel and paddle board. The description that the owner provides is very accurate. The washer and dryer were so nice to have in the unit. We couldn't have asked for a better stay! We will be back!

The property was an easy drive to most of the places we visited. Loved the view from the balcony of the ocean so close and the sound of the waves. It was clean and well stocked. Had a minor problem and the property manager was on top of things and followed through to make sure there were no problems. Highly recommend it!

My husband and I had a great stay at this condo! Very clean and comfortable. The lanai with the ocean view was spectacular! The pool area and grounds were very well maintained. We would definitely come back!
Constance K.
September 2024

We absolutely loved out stay! The location can't be beat! We were centrally located on the island and right across the street from some wonderful food options. The view was outstanding! We loved just sitting on the lanai and watching the ocean waves. The pool was very convenient and parking was easy. Plenty of room for us and we were able to easily prepare meals with ingredients from some of the many farmers' markets on the island. Absolutely loved having a full size washer and dryer! The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioner kept us cool while we slept. This was definitely a great deal and we're glad we booked this property!

We were very happy with the size of the condo--room to relax. The private lanai was wonderful, the beach view never got old. Marvis was a great resource for nearby recommendations, and she left us a spotless condo to move into. The Wailua River is just down the street and accessing kayaking was easy--same with the Sleeping Giant. A very nice stay. The heavy traffic did make it hard to get around, but that's the price for being in the middle.

September 2024

Keyless entry was so easy to use throughout our stay. The basket of coffee, chocolates and granola bars was a thoughtful touch. We love staying in smaller properties and this was perfect. 100 yards from fresh malasadas, close to restaurants, shopping, and beaches. Never tired of watching the unobstructed ocean view of Wailua Bay from sunset to saying goodnight to the moon and stars.

The check-in process was seamless with the instructions emailed ahead of time. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the AC in the bedroom worked well. The balcony overlooking the ocean was enjoyed every morning and evening! The Coconut Marketplace was a short walk away, where we had dinner and bought groceries a few times. We would definitely stay here again!

You can't find a better place for an amazing view. And, the location is perfectly situated where you can get to either side of the island fairly quickly. We'll definitely be back!

We loved the location and convenience of this property. The condo was clean and the view of the ocean from the lanai was perfect. Would love to stay there again. Would just like to see the flooring updated from carpet to laminate flooring. It other than that, we loved it.

Bed was difficult to sleep in, dips to the left. Uncomfortably hot in main area at night. Property itself was just ok.

This was a great location to explore the island from. The view of Wailua Bay from the balcony was amazing. The sound of the waves breaking was soothing. Full kitchen and washer/dryer was super convenient. Would absolutely recommend!
Dylan N.
September 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay in this condo that was well equipped with most anything you might need during your stay. The kitchen had pans, spices and even food storage containers you might need, and there were beach chairs & even an ice chest. It was great to have a washer & dryer available, too! Both of us agree that this was a great central location that we would for sure stay in again!

Husband and I stayed at this lovely, updated place for a week. Unit had everything one could want for a beach vacation including beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella, bogey boards, snorkeling gear. Kitchen was recently remodeled and nicely stocked with spices, decent cookware, dishes and paper products. Refrigerator had an ice maker! Bathroom was also remodeled with double sinks and a great shower. King bed was very comfortable with nice sheets. 10 minute to coconut marketplace that has shops, restaurants and grocery store. We would definitely stay here again. Only upgrade I would recommend is a more comfortable chaise lounge on lanai so one could read or take a lovely nap while enjoying the ocean and beach view.

We arrived at 203 Wailua Bay View knowing this property and loving it! We had a few things that were out of the norm for what we were used to but after contacting Candace, everything was fixed and she was AMAZING! We look forward to coming back to Kauai again and this property soon!

September 2024

Teflon Pots were scratched up when we got there, probably because there were few nonmetal utensils to use to cook with; can opener barely works; no water boiler/tea pot. The Brita needs a new filter. The condo smells a bit musty or mildewy; the smell goes away quickly when the ac is run for a while. Other than the above, it was great - wonderful view, wonderful to have a kitchen, nice to have the ac option, we liked the non key entry; it was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, the lanai is fantastic, we loved having a washer/dryer, we could walk to the beach and kayaking...

We had never been to Hawaii so decided it was the place to go to celebrate our 50th anniversary. This condo was perfect. It was in a great location to get to different parts of the island. It had an awesome view of the water. We enjoyed sitting on the Lanai and watching the waves and the surfers. It had everything we needed including beach toys, towels and bathrobes. There were USB cubes on the tables by the bed which was convenient. The bed was very comfortable. The unit was very clean and well stocked with items we could use. Teri and Ron were very easy to communicate with. Mahalo.

Nice oceanfront condo, comfortable and great location on the east coast. Amenities are great. The only downside for us was the lack of air conditioning in the entire unit. It was very warm during our stay and winds were not blowing in thru the patio. Overall a nice condo in a great location. We loved hearing the waves crashing on the shoreline!!

The properly was ok, I had to deal with a lot of flying insets didn’t know where it was coming from. I think from one of the side window. I didn’t feel much of the Ocean breeze from the top building. The view was nice.

Our stay was excellent! We were thrilled to find the Condo went above & beyond our expectations! It was spotless, well equipped with cookware, eating utensils, glasses, etc. The bedroom was very quiet even with the traffic outside. The view and the grounds were beautiful and the pool was beautiful. The Condo was centrally located to everything we wanted to see. We will definitely be back!

A very well kept property with good ocean views.A short walk from Coconut Market place which has many restaurants and shops. The busy road outside condo is a bit distracting but not too bad.Many other restaurants are a short drive away

This was our first time on Kauai and we had a great relaxing time. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and so glad we chose this island and condo. The condo had everything we needed and was spotless. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai and watching the surfers and waves. One day there were dolphins right in-front of the condo which was really amazing. Thank you Teri and Ron for sharing your condo with us and ensuring we had everything we needed. We also met Marvis and enjoyed talking with her. We hope to be back someday. Thanks again, Jeff and Betsy

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. 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: Everything in Wailua Bay View 110 was great with only a few things I would change. The location is centrally located to the north and west side. Good food spots close by for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Clean and well taken care of. Only thing I would ask the owners is to get a new mattress for the king bed and new couch to use for sleeping.
