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!

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!

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...

Beautifully landscaped condo complex overlooking Wailua Bay. We walked to the beach every morning to catch the sunset. The condo had everything we needed and we especially appreciated the beach towels, chairs, cooler and snorkel equipment. Bed was very comfortable and shower had great pressure.

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.

The property was more than we expected. Great middle ground for anything you want to do in Kauai. It was private and quiet, just what we needed. The unit is a great location. The deck view is amazing. Watched the ocean as we ate our meals. Pool was fabulous. We will be returning !

The condo was in a great location and had a beautiful view of the ocean. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and ate every meal there. It was clean, and had a nicely stocked kitchen. Even though it did not have AC, it did have 1 oscillating fan that we took to bed at night.

The property is good. No AC in the living room kinda junk. There was a lady that complained about noise in the pool. From my granddaughter kicking the water. I guess we suppise to sit still in the pool. No swimming. The toilet not working properly scary, it

We loved the condo, and spent a lot of time on the lanai! The AC in the bedroom worked great, so we could sleep at night. Central location, easy to get to stores and restaurants. Appreciate the amenities like beach towels, chairs and umbrella, even a rice cooker! Would stay again!

We enjoyed everything about our stay! The condo is very comfortable and clean, it’s great to have a kitchen and laundry facilities, and the balcony is the crowning glory: it looks out over the not-crowded beach and you can see for miles. We ate all our meals out there, listening to the waves and watching surfers try their luck. We look forward to visiting again!

August 2024

Well situated in Kapaa town, lovely comfortable condo with all the conveniences. Everything was easy. And the view from the balcony was AMAZING. Thank you so much!

Your right in the middle of many site seeing locations. Loved Lydgate beach! View is gorgeous (a little close to the main Hyway. Needs air conditioning for the whole condo, not just the bedroom. Hosts were great!

This place is amazing! The location and views are unbeatable. The only downsides are the place was a little hard to keep cool and the floors were a little dirty. We eventually figured out a good system to keep it a little cooler and there is AC for the bedroom only at night. Overall it is a great place to stay with many of the comforts of home.

It’s a beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing property. The ocean waves breaking are the only sounds you’ll hear. Lovely and healing place — perfect for stress reduction and finding calm. Reasonable price and a good value.

Great location just above Lihue - easy to explore both sides of the island. Close to shopping, restaurants, and tons of beaches. Simple, clean condo and everything works. Very nice pool and pool area to relax. Views of the ocean and constant sounds of the waves were fantastic.
Scott H.
August 2024

The condo was clean and well equipped. We really appreciated the stock soups, shampoos, coffee, etc so we didn’t need to stress about the small things that we take for granted at home. The location is ideal as far as travel, we were really close to great restaurants and our kayak/hikes/boat events. I didn’t love the Hwy being in my ocean view. At times we could hear the street noise. We also struggled with the patio door. It’s no joke a pain in the butt, my husband needed to fix it several times. I also was surprised to find the entire condo was not air conditioned, just a noisy unit in the bedroom. Because of this, we spent all of our time on the porch or bedroom. Overall, for the price I wasn’t disappointed and we didn’t spend a lot of time in the condo anyways. The grounds were beautiful and the pool was refreshing after our adventures.

First trip to Hawaii and we couldn’t have picked a better condo! Location was so central to all parts of the island. And the million dollar view! The property exceeded our expectations on every level. The hosts truly go above and beyond with so many personal touches. Although we rarely needed ac it was lovely to have that option when we did want it. Super comfy bed, starter supply of coffee pods, lush landscaping, proximity to Passion Bakery and Lavalava Beach Club and easy communication with the hosts are just some of reasons we loved staying at this property.

August 2024

The owners really thought of everything you could want/need and is labeled to eliminate any doubt! The amenities are over the top and the place couldn’t be more perfect for the price! The unit has AC and that is NOT alway the case when you rent a condo here in Kauai. The temp is always great but after a long day out side it is so nice to take a shower and not instantly be sweaty from the humidity. 11/10!
