The unit is supplied with all the necessities you need. Great location; not far from the airport and on main drag to other island sites. Safe/secure area. Loved the big-screen TV during the World Series!

We mostly enjoyed our stay but beware, the roosters crow early mornings and don’t stop til late morning. The unit was comfortable and clean and we loved the beautiful ocean view from our deck. Beautiful sunrises!

Just returned from our first trip to Kauai. It was wonderful. We really enjoyed our unit and will miss the amazing views and the morning sunrises. This place was as described. It was decorated in the typical Hawaiian theme. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen had all the necessities. The lanai was perfect to have a meal and enjoy the view. The property manager was very responsive to any inquiries. Safeway is close by as well as some really good restaurants, Starbucks,ABC Store,etc. The beach in front is not really for swimming but other beaches are close by. We didn’t rent a car (but will next time) but we were able to use Uber when needed. As stated there was no air conditioning but found it to be quite comfortable as there were fans in both the living room and bedroom. We can’t wait for our next trip. One thing, the roosters get up very early so if that is an issue would suggest earplugs. Didn’t really bother us and they are all over the Island so it wasn’t an issue specific to this unit. We would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing time during our vacation. This property was a excellent choice as we woke up to beautiful sunrises every morning and the Oceanviews were spectacular. Thank you for sharing this home with us ❤️ Mahalo

I feel like we were "those people" that contacted management company a lot, but they were very responsive and did everything they could to accomodate us. I highly recommend Garden Island Estates for that alone. Thank you!

The property is extremely clean. The pool area was never too crowded, and it was well maintained. The location is perfect to be close enough to all parts of the island.
The unit itself was as described. Sitting on the balcony is so relaxing. We didn’t need AC because of the constant breeze from the ocean. The mattress is very comfortable. We are returning in August and would stay here if there was room for 4.

This little condo is perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the views from the lanai were fantastic. The beach out front is amazing to go tide pooling. And just a short stroll along the beach you will find pretty decent swimming spots. The pool and hot tub were excellent as well. The building the condo is in is off to the side of the main resort buildings which was fantastic for privacy. Plus it was the only building that had direct ocean facing lanis.
I was a bit worried about the room being too hot for sleeping, but they provided more than a few fans to get the air moving.
The only downside was that there wasn't a washer/dryer in the unit.
I would absolutely recommend staying here.
Centrally located and a quick and easy walk to stores/restaurants. Plus being in Kapaa, you can make it to either side of the island in an hour or less. (Traffic can be a duzy in Kauai).
Mahalo!!

We so enjoyed our stay in this condo. 10 minutes after walking through the door and opening the sliding glass door to the lanai, we knew we picked the right place. The condo was extremely clean as well as the pool area. The view of exceptional. Talked to couples who had been there three or four times and I can see why. So well located and we walked to dinner at great restaurant a couple of times and having Safeway right there was a plus! Hope to be back someday. Mahalo!Leslie and Jerry

Everything was as described. Be aware that roosters are very loud very early in the morning and you need good ear plugs and turn on the fans/close the windows to get any sleep. Surprising there are places with no AC on the island. But it's in the descripion. The resort is nice. Wasn't a fan of Kapa'a though.

Very quiet area, condo was clean and as pictured. View of ocean was wonderful and close to DT Kappa and sights. Check in time of 3 and check out at 10 is bit irritating but the office team was very nice and let us use pool since we came in early. I would definitely recommend this condo.

Great condo, lovely view from lanai, convenient location. Equal distance to north shore activities and to Poupu, Waimea. Lots of linens provided; large, safe walk-in shower. In addition to the proverbial rattan sofa, two comfortable easy chairs. The street-facing side of the building is in an alley that gives an unkempt appearance that initially alarmed us, but the interior of the condo and all the resort grounds were immaculate. Be prepared to haul your suitcases several hundred yards and up to the second floor. We’d definitely stay here again. The rental folks were very accommodating when we ran into two self-created problems.

This condo was clean and nice inside. It was stocked with everything we needed plus ice chests and chairs in the closet. It was on the second floor (which was a surprise because it looked like ground level in the pictures and did not specify). The view is perfect! The beach right there is not smooth, but not a long walk to one that is. The building is located behind the other Kapa'a Shore Resort buildings off to the side, so it is a little ways from the parking lot. The surrounding neighborhood is a little rough, but not an issue for us. Overall it is a nice condo to stay in with an amazing view.

This was a great rental! We were concerned that we would not like it because there was no air conditioning but the ocean breeze was great! Because of a pre planning problem we stayed in another property close to this one that had AC but we actually preferred this property. It felt super homey, had a large linai with direct views to the ocean and was all around great! The only thing lacking was in room laundry which would have been very helpful since the coin operated laundry was not great.

Loves this property! Best sunrise view I’ve ever had. Place was quiet and not full of screaming children. Pool was busy but always had an available chair or two. Kitchens well stocked, and had all the amenities. Safeway was across the street for groceries and three good restaurants within a block. We will be back!

Despite six days of torrential rain, we enjoyed our first trip to Kauai. The accommodations were very nice. The condo complex itself, while a bit dated, did not show in Unit 202. The unit was very well provisioned, and a fully equipped kitchen. The Murphy bed in the living room was very comfortable and beats any pull out I've ever slept on. The unit was very clean as well. The only issue we experienced were the occasional nocturnal visits from the small ants on the counter tops. Despite being extra diligent in securing all food items in the refrigerator, they made their appearance anyway. This is a privately owned unit I'd recommend. Incredible view from the balcony.

This path is so beautiful to walk, run or cycle on at any time of day. The condo is equipped with everything one could possibly need from beach equipment and picnic bags, even ice packs. The view from the lanai is wonderful We thought it was the perfect holiday home. Will be back.

First time visit to Kauai. Very pleasant correspondence with Garden Island Properties. Condo was as described & had everything we needed.Loved the view from Lanai. Just a few things that would improve the condo: more overhead lighting in living room/bedroom; replace carpet with hardwood or tile. Even though carpet had been cleaned, due to the fact that it was very old, it did have a musty smell. We bought air fresheners that help a little bit. We will be back.

The unit was pretty dirty I,e, the dishes and bathroom, floors. The noise from the upstairs unit above 202 was UNBEARABLE. It felt and sounded like it was thundering because the unit shook from kids upstairs 😞 We smelled cigarette and cigar smoke on lanai and in our unit from the Designated Smoking Area in front of the unit. Unit was well equipped, and had great view. But the noise from above really ruined our week. I'd never rent this unit again, and I've been staying at Kapaa Shore since 1978.
