The overall layout was spacious. Great King bed, nice sized bathroom, and walk-in closet also serving as the mini kitchen. The bathroom exhaust fan was clogged with dust. The folding bistro chairs were flimsy & uncomfortable (reported by another guest), & the kitchen area had no plates (problem also reported in Sept.), no wine or beer openers or glasses. Cheap fixes that would have really increased my overall rating. The pool and waterfront area were nice. The photos of the unit were accurate. However, the unit did not hsve a deck/patio or any view. I think that should have been noted. Comnunication was great

After arriving, the first thing we did was unpack and cool off the made ready for dinner. After we got ourselves acclimated we enjoyed anything and everything, after each excursion we returned to the home base to rest up and refresh ourselves. It was great!

The property is well situated. The host is extremely responsive.
However , we found the property to be very cramped , the furnishings weak and amenities lacking — no plates , 2 mugs with no wading soap , side table unstable , chairs uncomfortable , no bathroom rugs
It was well below our expectations and we would not go back there again.
It is ok if you only want to be in the room to sleep at night — not comfortable to spend any wake up time there

This place while not charming or cute in any way is a great functional place to stay in a great location. It’s next to a beautiful beach front (though not really that swimmable) and right in the center of town. Walking distance to main shopping area and a great place to plan excursions throughout the island. The unit has only one window and making it feel a little gloomy during the day but we didn’t come to Kauai to sit in our room all day anyway. It was a little difficult to keep the room cool enough without using the AC in the 83 degree summer heat we got when we were there but the AC worked great on auto (we tried saving the money). Overall if you are looking for a clean and simple place to stay without all the frills but in a great location this spot is for you.

The location is ideal if you want to access opposite sides of the island, walk to food trucks, best shave ice (Wailua), dozens of shops and restaurants, and you can get to Sleeping Giant in about 5 minutes if you want to watch one of the best sunrises on the planet.

Qing Qing, the owners’ daughter was just THE BEST: Friendly! Sweet! Lovely speaking voice! Also! the man who was waiting to clean up my room after I left was kind, positive & most hospitable! It was A REAL PLEASURE speaking with both of them! I arrived LATE, so I was SO GRATEFUL for her directions to the room! I am from LA by way of LAS VEGAS NEVADA, where it is WELL LIGHTED OUTSIDE AT NIGHT! I have noticed that on MAUI & KAUAI there are few if any lights on the streets at night! Also, the hotels & parking lots are not WELL LIGHTED at night! While I do appreciate the TOTAL RAW & WILD ISLAND NOCTURNAL VIBE & EXPERIENCE, these days it is DANGEROUS! Because I am a woman, usually, I am assigned a room on the 2nd, 3rd floor or above! My room was on the bottom floor! So I felt REALLY QUITE UNSAFE ARRIVING AT NIGHT! Possibly instal one or two additional lights at night for SAFETY! Room was SIMPLE! CLEAN, well supplied & NICELY DECORATED! Bed spread was PRETTY! REALLY LOVED THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE BEACH just behind the lodging! MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH! CLEAR WATER! LOUNGING CHAIRS! BLACK CRABS CRAWLING ON BLACK ROCKS! Though it looked a little shabby from the street & entering (compared to THE SUPER EXPENSIVE HOTELS) For the PRICE & MOST PERFECT PROXIMITY TO THE BEACH - LITERALLY JUST A FEW FEET FROM MY DOOR! BEST DEAL EVER! CAN NOT BEAT THAT! LOVED THE BATH TUB WITH HOT WATER! LOVED ALL THE CHICKENS & 1 cat! MUCH TOO NOISY IN THE MORNING tho! Banging & chattering outside!

Very convenient location you can go to both sides of the island in a short amount of time and I had restaurants grocery stores just a couple feet away from the location and David was so helpful

Big spacious bed, simple accommodations. Perfect for those who want to get out and see the island, centrally located so the west side or the north shore are roughly the same distance. Place was clean and Dave was extremely accommodating! Plan on staying again in the future!

The close proximity to some shopping, grocery and clothing made this very walkable. Its location allowed us to visit the North and South sides of the island easily. Enjoyed our stay

Dave’s place was very accommodating. Although quite basic with furnishings, decorations etc, it was perfect for my friend and I. Mini fridge, microwave, and some cutlery/plate ware made for an easier stay. The fans he provided were perfect for circulating air around the place, though I was there during 70-85 degree weather, and it was pushing it during the 85 days. Overall, he is very kind and responsive and I would come here again.

Best little place for the money. I stayed in Feb, so no air conditioning was just fine with all the fans available in the place. Dave was responsive right away whenever I texted. Nice to have a mini fridge and microwave. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and very basic. Just what I needed. There was no “actual” parking spot, but I never had a problem finding a place along the trees next to the building. Thank you!

Very convenient place to stay with all you need for an enjoyable time. Walk around to the beach front and relax in the lounge chairs or take a quick ride into town. Either way you will have easy access to all of Kauai from this studio. Easy check in process and a great place to stay. Thanks David

Property was clean and tidy! Nothing fancy, but was just what we needed for our stay. We were out and about all day, so we didn’t feel like we needed much in the first place. Dave was great to work with and prompt with responses to questions. Would recommend!

Trying to be as generous as possible, so will give this 3 stars because of the big, nice bathroom with a terrific shower. Other than that, very disappointing. Having no AC only works if you have substantial airflow, which requires at least 2 windows - this place has one and a small one at that. The "cooler fan" is not a cooler of any kind (actually, it is a swamp cooler but is not hooked up to water and the pump button has been disabled), so it's just a fan. The heat was miserable and we dreaded coming back here every night and sweating ourselves to sleep. Also, floors were very dirty, with sand and dirt everywhere; visible food left on dishes; flimsy plastic folding chairs and a small, broken end table for furnishings; one picture in the entire place with no other decorations; weak/spotty wifi; front door opens on ground floor parking lot right next to dumpster and high traffic sidewalk leading around building to pool/beach. Also, this was a 6-night stay and the owner did not contact us at all during that time to see if we got in OK or had any issues. Quality requires effort and attention - you can't expect 5-star ratings with a "bare minimum" approach.

Property was clean and easy to access. The only negative I would say is that I had underestimated the Hawaiian heat in November and picking a place without AC was probably not the smartest choice (this is totally on me though as the listing clearly stated no AC). Location was decent as it offered great access to all sides of the island. However, there was plenty of construction around the area when I went, which made traffic sometimes a pain to deal with. Otherwise, it was a very nice place to stay for our first trip to Kauai!

We truly enjoyed our time staying at the condo! It was steps away from a private and quiet beach so we loved taking our morning walks there. Many coffee shops and restaurants are located within 5mins driving distance. The room was very clean and comfortable. There is a big walk-in closet so it made the luggage origanization very easy. We had a great time meeting Leah and her lovely family as well, They made this trip extra special!
