We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location is fantastic, being close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and the Wailua River. The pools and jacuzzi added an extra layer of enjoyment after spending our days exploring various beaches around Kauai.
However, there were a few aspects that weren't as positive. The condo had an unpleasant odor that made us spend most of our time outside, only using it for sleeping. Even then, the odor seemed to linger, affecting our comfort.
Additionally, although we had reserved accommodations for five people, we were unable to use the rollout beds provided. This forced us to make do with the sofa, which didn't have clean sheets. The sofa bed also lacked extra blankets, leaving my son without sufficient cover and having to improvise with what was available. Despite having initially reserved for five people, it turned out there were only accommodations for three beds. This was unexpected, especially since my husband and I shared the Queen bed.
Despite these inconveniences, the condo's location was a major highlight, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience.

This rental was honestly spectacular! It has three bathrooms (one is a smaller space -- a toilet, shower and sink) two different bedrooms, a living room, and a full kitchen. The beds are very comfortable. My only suggestion would be to add spare blankets in the closets. There were spare linens and towels available. It's clear that the unit is just a rental and isn't lived in; you'll notice some strange things (the plates don't fit in the dishwasher, for example). It's modern and has central A/C, which is crucial for anywhere you stay in Hawaii (A/C prevents mold and bugs). The washer/dryers came with a big tub of non-scented detergent which was great.
The property itself is beautiful. You get full access to the lazy river pool and beach.
A word of caution -- this apartment is through Remax Kauai and we had to sign what was essentially a rental agreement. There are a lot of rules and you sign away a lot of your rights, so if something goes wrong, you're paying for it. I will say that I get why it's so strict; some visitors will just trash these apartments. If you take care of it like it's your own home and clean up after yourself when you leave, you should be okay.
Lastly, our contact through Remax was so helpful. We had an issue with our flights and had to extend our stay last minute, and she let us do so, no problem. She was also quick to respond when we had an issue with the a/c not turning on (make sure all the doors are shut)! We would absolutely come back.

We stayed at this property for 8 nights. The condo was very nice and spacious for our family of five. We really enjoyed the pools and the beautiful grounds. We had a couple of issues with the condo, which management did fix. Our first night there the AC wasn’t working. It was very stuffy and we had a hard time sleeping. We called the next day and someone came out to fix it quickly. Another day the cooktop wasn’t working. We called that day and the following day again, and someone came out after the second call and fixed it. Overall we were happy with our stay and would stay there again.

Condo was nice! Lighting situation was a little awkward because most of the lamps were unplugged. The staff listed as point of contact were exceptional and very helpful with our questions as we had to reach out to them for some information. We had just arrived and encountered who we believed to be the owner coming in the door just after we arrived wanting info about pillows. The individual did not say sorry walking in on us to check on unit and could have been have nicer and handle things better as we had just arrived in the unit. As for the unit we would stay again and found it to be a great unit! Recommendation Drain Screen/strainer for Kitchen sink very cheap and effective. Prevent clogged sinks. Our Trip was Amazing we miss being there!Thanks!

Five adults rented this property. Generally a decent property in a very nice family friendly complex, with a lovely beach, pool area and beach restaurant. My complaints for what there worth. Upon arrival the carpet and tile flooring felt like they had not been properly cleaned from the previous use of the unit. For the price of the condo rental unit the bed in second bedroom was uncomfortable with added foam topper (needs a new mattress) The bathroom tub for this bedroom could use a shower so there would be no requirement to share the adjoining third bathroom which has a stand alone shower. The sofa was not comfortable when converted into a sofa bed. The lanais were very small and not as per the picture. Only one outside the master bedroom comfortably seated two people. The dishwasher had two load compartments that were very small and would not allow for washing larger items including the standard size dinner plates. Overall the unit was a good size with a nice kitchen and very serviceable for five people.

We loved our stay at Waipouli. This is our second time there and we couldn’t have been happier with the resort. Exactly what our family needed— family friendly pool, enough space and beds for all of us, and a fully stocked kitchen to keep us fed!

This rental is awesome! There were 6 of us and there was plenty of space. The amenities all worked inside the rental and the grounds were clean. Pools were fantastic and it took only a 2 min. walk to get to the beach-loved it! There is a store right across the street and the location was stellar with regards to booked activities.

Thank you for letting us use your condo. Our family had a wonderful vacation. Everything was easy and stress free. The location was wonderful as is the condo itself. Lots of eating options within walking distance and an easy drive to anywhere on the island. If you want to just, relax they have an amazing pool and beach right there. Thanks again for the amazing trip!!

The rental was just as advertised. Spacious enough for 6. Provided with boogie boards (2), ice chests, umbrella, chairs, mats, and beach toys. Pool towels provided by the pool area in resort. Check in was a breeze, even though I received clear instructions from Remax, I also received an email from VRBO asking to check in with administration. I emailed Remax to clarify but never heard back. The condo was perfect for our needs however I need to point out that it is not as clean as other properties I have stayed at. Bed linens were all grayish/yellowish and some were stained. Extra pillows in closet were yellow (sweat stains)as well as extra linens. All linens smelled clean but definitely not crispy white. Glass shower doors had soap scum and mold on plastic sealers which could be better cleaned. This is by no means a reflection on the owners but more an issue with the cleaning crew. Convenient location, pool was fun for kids, resort was nice. We only used fridge, so can't really give opinion on cooking supplies. We only used boogie boards and small ice chest. Good overall.

Walking in, it is just like the pictures, nice and spacious. The location can’t be beat. We were so close to everything just a few minutes drive to other activities. Very nice pool, the kids loved it. Excellent restaurant on site. Communication with Angela was great! This place is very well maintained, would stay again!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and had plenty of kitchen essentials and basics (coffee filters, ziploc bags, salt/pepper, etc). The best part was the amount of beach gear available to use in their closet - lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys (we left a few as well), boogie boards, coolers, ice packs in the freezer, etc. The unit had a great layout for our family with the two bedrooms on opposite sides of the living room, a large open kitchen, and a half bathroom. The outdoor balcony was also lovely to sit and have breakfast together - it overlooks the parking lot but you can also see the mountains in the distance :) The pool was a short walk. Our kids (5 and 7) also loved walking along the beach. There are large sandbags at the beach near this end of the property to help stop the erosion of the land - our kids loved climbing on these and playing in the water in front of them (partially protected area without large waves). The restaurant on the property is great as well and has a large grassy area the kids can play on to get some energy out before dinner - note that they used to serve drinks and food for the pool area earlier, but now they don't open until 3pm.
The only downside is that there must have been a leak coming from the wall in the main bedroom as the carpet was wet. We didn't notice it the first few days, but then it got very musty and we felt the wet carpet. We notified the property manager but didn't hear back that day about any action plan. The next day they sent someone to look and bring a fan to try to air it out. Unfortunately, the fan was super loud and the unit got fairly hot with the windows open and no AC. We were out most days for the majority of the day, but the room became unusable to sleep in and we had to sleep on the pull out sofa - not very comfortable. It would have been nice to receive some sort of credit or acknowledgement of the inconvenience, but I won't blame the owner for that as I'm not sure they were aware or if it was all the management company. Either way, I'm assuming it'll get fixed. We'd definitely stay again.

Well equipped condo. Appreciated the beach gear/cooler. Only downside is the beach on property isn’t swimmable due to it being rocky. We brought laundry and dishwasher detergent, trash bags etc… since other reviews said they don’t leave enough for you entire stay which was true. Still a great place, plenty of room for us and three kids. Great pool area and on-site restaurant is delicious!

My family and I have stayed in properties in Poipu and Princeville areas, but this place was probably the best location we've stayed at. Centrally located with shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cycle and SUP board rentals, snorkelling close by. About 15 minutes, with not traffic, from the airport. And the best shave ice in all the islands, the Wailua Shave Ice!!!

Everything was clean, furnishings up to date and comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, quiet complex across from grocery stores, souvenir shops and food. Kind of in middle of the island, we drove North, almost to Hanelei and South to Poipu. We did rent a jeep for our time on Kauai. Pool area nice for a family or for a couple...steps from the beach. My only complaint is the mattress topper in the Master bedroom...its way too soft and its memory foam so you can get stuck...quick!

Overall it was fine, the unit looked like the pictures. It was nice. Downsides were we had to take out our trash and recycling to the main floor drop off areas and even though there were 5 of us staying (one of them an infant) we got 3 trash bags and hardly and dishwasher soap. Sort of ridiculous.We also had someone from the cleaning company knock on our door the last day we were there saying “they noticed we were short on hand towels”. Not sure how they noticed this when I didn’t think someone was coming into our unit which is interesting. We refused them and they told us “they couldn’t leave until they gave them to us”. Sort of strange. Wouldn’t stay here again and would just put a little more money into a nice hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo itself was clean and comfortable with lots of little extras that helped us enjoy our vacation. The resort is beautiful with a nice beach and wonderful pool. It is very convenient to shopping, restaurants, and other destinations on the island. We really appreciated having a few boogie boards, a cooler, and a shade umbrella supplied. Those little details really made a big difference for us. While no one wants to do laundry on vacation, it is great to have them available. We especially appreciated having a dryer to dry swimsuits and towels each evening. The beach is not great for playing in the water as there are many rocks just off the sand, but the sunrises were spectacular. It is a great central location and easy to head south towards Poipu or up north to Hanalei. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

We love staying at Kapaa in Kauai as it is a central location to everything. Angela's place is in Kaipouli Beach Resort conveniently located right across from Safeway and ABC stores as well as multiple stores and restaurants. The unit itself has all the comforts of being a home and we especially appreciated all of the pots, pans, plastic bins, rice cooker, blender, etc. It was the first time that our 4yr old learned to swim. We rented a life jacket at a nearby Snokel Bob. He then hit the kiddie pool with small rock/sand and then migrated over to the big pool. We are saving the pool slides for the next visit. Having fresh new towel from the pool was added bonus.

the condo was lovely and clean. We did try to call Remax regarding entry a bit early, but were unable to get any answer. The sofa bed was broken, with a note not to use it. This was unhelpful as there was a need for 3 separate beds. we found a roll a bed and had to put it together. As we had specifically chosen a condo that could accommodate 3 separate sleeping areas, we sure hope no one minds that we used the roll a bed. It is significantly smaller than the queen size sofa bed, but we made it work. The ice maker was not functioning, and yes, we read the instructions. so annoyances were minor. and we would stay there again. overall, very nicely decorated and stocked.
