Summary:
Take your coffee onto the private lanai and look out over the ocean, pool, and resort grounds before the beach day begins. Islander on the Beach 235, a studio in the Lanai Building, sleeps three, with a kitchenette for snacks and simple breakfasts, air conditioning, and fast WiFi when you need to check in with the world. The beachside pool and hot tub are only steps away, while the shore itself is close enough for an unhurried morning walk. Coconut Marketplace is within walking distance for lunch, groceries, or a browse through the shops. When you want to explore, Wailua River, kayaking, and East Side waterfalls are nearby. Return for a drink at the tiki bar or dinner from the shared grills and keep the evening easy. It is a comfortable, well-connected Kauai stay for a couple or a small group who values a view and a location that does the work for them.
The Space:
The private lanai looks over the ocean, pool, and grounds, giving this studio a strong sense of place from the moment you arrive. The room includes air conditioning, fast WiFi, a full bath, and a kitchenette with a sink, microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker. Sleeping space for three makes it a flexible base for a couple or small travel group.
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:
On Kapaa's East Side, you can fill a day without ever going far. Coconut Marketplace is an easy walk for food, coffee, groceries, and small shops. The Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal path is nearby for a sunrise walk or bike ride beside the water. Wailua River offers kayaking close by, with Opaekaa Falls a scenic detour inland. Kapaa town adds local restaurants, bakeries, and a lived-in island feel. Staying here puts you in a useful middle spot for heading north toward the beaches or south to Lihue, then coming back to the shore.
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.

Everything was great except for the bed. Very uncomfortable, the sofa same. Just a little change would have been an amazing trip.

Location was great, and a beautiful long beach steps away. Easy base to roam the island. Beach chairs on the balcony were helpful to use, as well as lovely snacks left in the kitchen.
Place was very clean but smelled musty and shower curtain smelled moldy. Otherwise, great and easy place.
Great value and would highly recommend.

Very clean and well managed condo at the Islander of the Beach. We stayed at other condos in the same complex, but this is best in terms of amenities and facilities. Provided beach towels and beach chairs. Comfy bed and pillows. Special thanks to Vacasa for great communication and help!

The property was clean and very well managed. We stayed in other condos in the Islander of the Beach at the past. This one is really great! Good quality towels, beach towels and chairs. Comfy bed. Most importantly, Vacasa customer support team was great and very helpful.

The place was very clean and well maintained. Very close to the beach . The one thing we liked about this property is that it has its own marketplace which makes life easy to find food and do shopping.

I loved that we could see the beach from our balcony and walk to it within two minutes. I also loved the fact that it’s located next to an amazing marketplace. We walked over there often to shop and eat. The towel exchange service was super helpful, and the host left a bowl of Hawaiian goodies on the table. Loved that. :)

This is a very nice location, but the pull-out couch had notable mold and mildew on it. After texting Vacasa twice, workers from the resort came, looked at it, took photos, and left, telling me the mattress could not be cleaned but a new mattress would be ordered. I followed up the next day. Vacasa told me workers had cleaned the mattress but had not. They then came with new linens which did nothing to clean the matttress and the Vacasa rep texted that there were no spare mattresses, one would be delivered from Oahu and wouldn’t arrive during our stay. I explained that as an asthmatic it was unacceptable for me to be exposed to mold and mildew for the next five nights but was told nothing could be done. So we were forced to live with the situation and had to leave the balcony door open to air the place out to reduce the smell of mildew. Since the situation would not be fixed, I asked for a partial refund. After chasing them down about this, I was told there would be a partial refund. We received only 118 for exposure to mold and mildew throughout our 7 day stay. So, less than 20 USD a day for our stay. Knviously they didn’t care.

We picked this condo because of its proximity to the beach, which was a short walking distance. The condo was clean but the drain in the tub was slow, the refrigerator was noisy, and the tv was a bit difficult to use (I wish that it were a smart tv so I could’ve signed into an app). Plus, a stove would have been nice.
All in all, it was a good stay.

Nice property overall, would stay here again.
Incredible views, bed was very comfy.
The macadamia nut chocolate and cookies in the room upon arrival was a nice touch.
More than one coffee filter for a three day stay would have been good.
Wifi didn’t work upon my arrival but a quick text to Vacasa and it was dealt with only 90 minutes later.

Beautiful property and area, shops and restaurants within walking distance. Room was clean and spacious with a great view.
If you're not back by early evening it is difficult to find a parking spot onsite.
Would suggest placing some sort of rubber mat under mattress to prevent constant sliding.
