Summary:
From the top-floor lanai in the Maui Building, this Islander on the Beach 370 studio gives you a partial ocean view, garden below, and the sound of waves carrying through the day. Two beds sleep up to four, with air conditioning and a kitchenette in the 372-square-foot space for a small family or friends. The beach is a few paces away, and the beachside pool and hot tub make an easy alternate plan when everyone needs a break from the sand. Coconut Marketplace is close enough for coffee or a casual meal, while Wailua's waterfall scenery and Kapaa's coastal path invite a little exploring. Tropical landscaping softens the walk between pool and shore. It is a comfortable East Side landing spot for guests who want the beach close and the days uncomplicated.
The Space:
On the top floor of the Maui Building, this 372-square-foot studio opens to a private lanai with partial ocean and garden views. Two beds sleep up to four, and the kitchenette has a sink, microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker for simple meals. Air conditioning and a full bath add welcome comfort after time in the sand, pool, or hot tub.
Guest Access:
Guests at Islander on the Beach have access to the shared outdoor pool, hot tub, BBQ grill area, and beach access. The resort grounds provide easy outdoor space to relax between beach outings.
The Neighborhood:
The Maui Building puts the resort's tropical grounds between your lanai and the beach, with Coconut Marketplace close by for breakfast, groceries, and casual dinner. When you want to move a little, the Ke Ala Hele Makalae path is nearby for an oceanfront walk or bike ride. Wailua River and the road toward Opaekaa Falls offer an easy change of scenery, and Kapaa town has more local dining by car. It is a useful East Side home base for a small family or friends who want short, satisfying outings rather than a far-flung drive every day.
Getting Around:
Kapaa sits along Kauai's Royal Coconut Coast, about 15 to 20 minutes from Lihue Airport. A rental car is recommended for exploring the island, though the main strip along Kuhio Highway is walkable, with beaches, shops, restaurants, and the popular coastal path all within easy reach on foot. Grocery stores and casual dining are close by. Parking is generally available at condos and along the street, making this an easy, low stress base.

Entry instructions were not provided before arrival, so I had to contact Vacasa for the passcode. The delay caused us to miss a reservation. The beds were uncomfortable, and the body wash was nearly empty. I always stay on this property when visiting Kauai, but will likely seek a different host in the future.

Nice clean room for a quick weekend trip. Property was nice from what we saw but didn't really use much of it. The view of water is between 2 other buildings but the patio was nice to have coffee on in the morning. The only thing that was frustrating was we arrived later at night and had a hard time finding somewhere to park.

Property was as expected with room to stretch out a bit. Very convenient as it was within walking distance of the beach, pool, shops and restaurants.

For an older middle budget place this was great. 24 hour perfect hot tub. Excellent hot water in the room. AC worked great. Good fridge. Perfect towels and linens. Right on the beach development, but Maui building is somewhat offset. Nevertheless you can hear the surf! Swimming pool was beautiful and clean but too cold for me to swim. Parking is a bit of a challenge, but always something available regardless of the hour. Desk staff very helpful. Locked out of the room, yet the Vacasa team fixed the problem at 11 pm on a Sunday. Outstanding service.

We stayed a week in this room. It was very clean and had a view of the beach. The property was gorgeous, and the location was steps away from great coffee and restaurants. We had a little trouble with the WiFi, but the vacasa team was super responsible to help us figure it out. Would definitely stay again.

This is a nice, quiet resort just before you get to Kapa'a, 12 minutes from the airport. It's about 35 min back to Poipu and 45 min to Hanalei. Lydgate beach park is only 5 min away. The resort is situated right on it's own beach which is okay for swimming, subject to the waves. The room was nice, clean and well furnished. You can see the ocean from the balcony. This originally was a hotel that sold off rooms as "condos," so they're not large, although the bathroom was ample sized. Everything was in working order. A previous review mentioned no utensils, but they are actually in drawers under the sink (weird). Be aware, the listing states two "double beds," and they are indeed, smaller than queen size. There are two beach chairs in the closet to take on your adventures around the island. There were ample loungers around the pool and on the beach also. Between the highway and the resort is a small outdoor shopping center with a market, souvenir shops and 3-4 restaurants. Two nights we walked over and ordered to-go and just ate on our balcony. Well managed by Vacasa, we had good communication before and during our stay. If we make it back to Kauai again we will definitely consider this resort and room again.

The unit was comfortable and clean, nice balcony with ocean view, but a drawback was its location on the third floor of a three-story building with no elevators. We are in our 80s and found having to go up and down those stairs several times a day a discomfort, particularly with our luggage. Anyone who would not want to hear a rooster crow dozens of times a night should avoid this location. If you do rent this unit, bring utensils as this supposedly fully stocked kitchen had not a single utensil.
