We stayed at this unit for the first week of our honeymoon and it completely exceeded our expectations. There were a ton of places we could walk to and fell asleep to the sound of the ocean every night. We will absolutely be returning here.

Direct access to the beach with amazing views. Great location in Kapaa with prestine grounds.
Condo was clean and organized with the AC functioning upon arrival however the code on the door entrance did not work and had to contact Candace who was very responsive in providing a new code.
The beach chairs and coolers were a great add to take around the island with us. Would return to this location again in the future.

My husband and I stayed here for our 11th anniversary, and our first time in Kauai. What a perfect, dreamy place this is!! Where do I start… we loved spending time on the balcony and taking in the sounds and sights of the ocean just several feet away. We loved walking the lush, tropical property grounds with easy access to restaurants, souvineer shops, and a market that had anything one might need. Every morning and afternoon we enjoyed the sights and sounds of roosters and chickens, and every evening the tiki torches danced in the night light and lit the walkways throughout the complex. The pool bar was great and offered a daily happy hour, with plenty of yummy drinks to choose from, and the hot tub was wonderful to enjoy in the evening after a day of hiking. The room itself was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We especially really appreciated the beach chairs and coolers that were provided! Candace was great and extremely responsive when we had questions. We had an incredible time in paradise!! We would absolutely stay again, hands down. Thank you SO much for an unforgettable experience!

Stayed here with my teenage son, who is hard to impress. But the photo from the website was 100% accurate, the view was amazing and the location was exactly what we were looking for. Shops and restaurants within walking distance, so you don’t need to drive if you don’t want to. The room was clean with everything we needed and the A/C was on point. We loved it!

My husband and I have stayed at a VBRO at the Islander before. This area has a lovely beach to relax by, food and shopping within walking distance and the Islander itself is well maintained and the pool is so enjoyable. Additionally this location is pretty central to everything you might want to do on the island.
We enjoyed snorkeling at Anini Beach, rented equipment from Kapaa Beach Shop, super friendly and they offer reasonable rates, prescription masks available. Kauai Back Country adventures for tubing, so fun for the family. There is a beautiful botanical garden just down the road, you can walk through at your own pace and feed the birds as you go along, Smith Botanical Garden (they have luaus and fire dancing too).
This unit was very nice, the bed was comfortable and they supplied coolers, chairs and towels for the beach. They have dishes and some cookware but no cutlery, you will need to purchase your eating utensils. My only disappointment was that the pictures we saw of the balcony furniture are not what we got. We found the patio furniture to be a little old and worn. We still spent a lot of time out there enjoying our breakfast every morning. I would love to see the owner invest in bar height patio furniture so that guests can really enjoy the beautiful view without looking through the railing.
We would definitely come back again.

Had a blissful few days in oceanfront Islander On the Beach #352. Fridge, sink, microwave, coffeepot, blender, toaster and property grills took care of meal times. 10 minutes from the airport and many attractions (like the mountain tubing through 150 year old plantation irrigation canals!). Free parking, nice oceanfront pool with tiki torches, poolside bar open half the day. Grounds lush with trees, flowers, and birdsong. Coconut shopping center with many restaurants is a 2 minute walk.

Condo was advertised as being air-conditioned when we got to the condo it was not air-conditioned the air conditioner did not work when we called the owner she proceeded to tell us that if we hadn’t read read the contract we would see that if one of the appliances breaks down it will not be fixed she went on to say that we got the cheapest condo that she had. The condo was on the 3rd floor and with no air conditioning and 80% plus humidity every night’s sleep was miserable. When asked if she could provide us with another condo she said none available. She owns 52 condo units. Thanks Candice our dream vacation was ruined.

This was our first time to Kauai and we had a terrific time. Staying at this wonderful unit was a highlight. Waking up every morning to the sunrise right from our lanai was a perfect way to begin each day. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was a perfect way to fall asleep. Plus, the unit was clean, had everything we needed for beach days, and was centrally located. We plan to return again.

WARNING the AC unit is broken, and they don’t bother to tell us until we checked in. Then after spending a very hot sleepless night the owners refuse to refund us or apologize!!! This added several hundred dollars onto our expenses because we had to scramble to find another unit that actually had AC….. The owners of this unit flat out lied about it having AC, as they knew it was broken. What a nightmare!! Our Hawaii vacation was filled with a sweaty night, lots of panic, and extra money spent on a place we could not even stay in…. Candice was very accommodating and tried to help us the best she could, I would rent from her again I just not this unit!

Excellent stay with almost all of the amenities we needed. Only thing missing was access to washer/dryer room. Room had EVERYTHING else though. Right next to the pool, Ocean, and great restaurants. Sleeping Giant was our favorite. Also located within walking distance to market. Prime spot to stay in. AC in room was a bit finicky but we found a happy medium with it. Would stay again for sure.

This place was an amazing find. The property has the same view shown in the pic. Hey to wake up to a sun rise every morning. You are right next to the water and pool so you and take a dip whenever you want. Also snorkeling was just as good as any other beach we went to. Ana amazing experience!

Property was great Communication with the Property Manager was totally unacceptable, and scary if we would have had a real problem. We thought we did and could not even reach the manager! Really! The Islander people would not help at ALL. Sorry, you need to do a better job of simple communitcaiton, this is 2022 and between cell phones, texts and emails, we should be able to get a response from the people we rented from! Secondly the Islander Staff at Check-In could have cared less about us staying on the property. They were rude and not helpful whatsoever. My wife thought the unit we rented had someone in it. Yes, it was our fault here, it was night and she tried to open the wrong room. But we had "Absolutel" no help! No respoinse from the propery manager and the Islander staff was outright rude. I travel for a living and some people do not belong in hospitality, The one girl working for the Islander should not be in the hospitality business. It was unaccpetalble how our situation was handled.

Wonderful spot to play at the beach, hang at the pool, or drive a few minutes and hike some direct trails. The only issues we had were the loss of the laundry (didn’t see that in the listing) and the bathroom drain, and they fixed that the next day.

We loved this property! It had everything we needed and the view was beautiful. So nice that it was within walking distance to restaurants and shopping and having the on-site pool bar was a perk as well. The grounds are beautiful. We wished we would’ve had longer to stay!

The location was amazing, I mean can it get any better than waking up to the sights and sounds of the Kauai coastline out your door?! The property was very well maintained, cleaned, and groomed. The room had everything we needed too, from beach towels and coolers to glasses for our wine on the deck to over watch the pastel sunset. It was a perfect stay in every way.

We loved our stay at Islander on the Beach #352. The location was great! It was so nice to be right on the water with an amazing view. It was cool enough at night to leave our sliding door open with just the screen closed and have the ceiling fan on. We slept great with the ocean sounds and comfortable bed. Having the Coconut Marketplace shops, grocery store and restaurants within walking distance was wonderful to. We definetly hope to stay again in the future!

Overall this was a lovely place to stay and we would stay here again. The room was clean and the view was fantastic. The location on the south shore is convenient from the airport and there is much within walking distance including the fantastic Lava Lava Beach Club. There were a couple of small things that could be improved if the property managers paid a bit more attention to detail. First, there was no silverware at all in the room. There was not a spoon, not a fork to be found. All other dishes were there including things like a spatula and large serving spoon. The coffee filters were the wrong kind for the coffee pot. There was a notice that all the information we would need would be in a white binder. There was no white binder. Maybe that binder would have helped us figure out the TV because we could not do it on our own. We ended up watching the Olympics on my laptop in the evening. Despite these small glitches, this still is a very nice place. The pool is good, the beach is fantastic and there are plenty of nice places to eat within walking distance.

This place is a must stay if you come to Kauai. Location was excellent as we were basically in the middle of everything. Easy access to shops, restaurants, and coffee places. Beach access right from your front door was a highlight every morning and evening for us. Exactly what we wanted for our trip here. Cannot recommend this place more for your trip to Kauai.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beachfront studio. The check-in process was easy, the room was clean, and the views were breathtaking. A big downside to the third floor unit is hauling all the luggage and groceries up 4 flights of stairs!
The location was nice with easy access to both the north and south ends of the island, however the amount of traffic southbound was terrible. If you are coming from the north, be prepared to wait 10-20 minutes to be able to turn left onto the property. If you are trying to leave the property going south, also be prepared to wait in a long line of traffic. The coconut marketplace was nice to have within walking distance to grab a bite to eat at a restaurant or do a little shopping!
The beach was nice and easy to access, however the sand is much coarser and is not the fine white sand I usually enjoy sinking my feet into. We enjoyed the chairs on the beach and most days were able to get the lounge chairs even if we weren’t out first thing in the morning.
The pool was small, but did the trick for cooling off after baking in the hot sun. The rest of the property was maintained beautifully.
Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Candace’s place was the perfect spot for our getaway. Close to many shops and food spots, great for walking or driving in either direction. Views are beautiful and easy parking. Room is on the third floor which we enjoyed since we could have the door open at night for a cool breeze and listen to the waves. Thank you so much!!!!

Beautiful grounds, great location and the condo was very clean and well maintained. The bed was so comfortable, giving it a 5 star. My only comment is for the owner to put a new shower head. Not a complaint but just a very minor upgrade., otherwise everything was perfect. The condo is near a shopping mall which has restaurants, coffee shops and a general store. Highly recommended
