Great ocean view, condo has everything we could need and more, near restaurants and stores there’s a little beach in front, the only bad part is that we had to leave

The place was very clean and looks just like the pictures featured. The kitchen was well stocked, and the air conditioning in the master bedroom worked great. The condo itself is well taken care of; however, the Kapaa Shore resort is dated and the landscaping needs some upkeep, grass is dead, paint peeling. Also, the pool area is mediocre, no umbrellas, just the bare minimum.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Kapaa Shore Resort. Great centralized location to Princeville and also Poipu Bay. Our only complaint would be the portable AC was not working in the best condition during our stay. It was not blowing out cool air the whole time we were there.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and the sunrise. The listing said air conditioning, but it did not say that the air conditioning was only in the bedroom. That made it uncomfortable in the living room in the afternoons. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

We stayed this lovely ocean view condo in Kauai, and it was an unforgettable experience. The breathtaking views of the ocean from the lanai were truly mesmerizing and set the perfect backdrop for a relaxing vacation. The condo was immaculate and beautifully furnished, offering a serene and comfortable environment.
One of the highlights was the attention to detail in providing small comforts that made our stay even more enjoyable. From the well-stocked kitchen to the plush towels and comfortable bedding, everything was thoughtfully provided. The hosts were incredibly hospitable, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay.
The location was ideal, with easy access to beautiful beaches, local shops, and delicious restaurants. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying our morning coffee with such a stunning view.
Overall, I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking to experience the best of Kauai with all the comforts of home. We can't wait to return!

Great home base for our trip. The condo was clean and well furnished with a wonderful view of the ocean. The ac in the bedroom was very much appreciated. The lanai was the perfect place to watch the sunrise. The grounds are well kept and the pool was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The condo itself was clean, well-stocked, and overall as-advertised. The ocean view was beautiful. The air conditioner unit in the bedroom was very loud and didn't appear to do much, so sleeping at night was hot. The back side of the property (where we entered through) was looking a little rough, but the beautiful ocean view on the other side made up for it. The pool and hot tub were nice.

Great central location. Nice view, but no sandy beach out front. All lava. Sandy beach is further down but you have to cross private property. Pool and hot tub are nice. Portable AC unit works well for bedroom but has little impact on kitchen/living room. So can be warm for guests using the Murphy bed.

The views are real! Waking up to the beautiful and ever-changing sunrise and ocean view was my favorite part. The Murphy bed was super comfy, plus you can hear the waves! Kitchen and bathroom were great and well stocked.
Only negative was that this area seemed to be a wind tunnel almost all the time. Due to the windy conditions, we never used the pool since we'd be chilly with the wind. The hot tub was closed in early March 2024 and we were not notified, so that was a bummer due to the wind since it was too chilly for the pool.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
