We have stayed at the Islander many times. This unit was very clean and welcoming. Great view, too. Comfortable bed, though the pillows were rather large for our tastes. The management was responsive and really liked the towel exchange, as we stayed 3 weeks. Would definitely stay in this unit 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.

Things we loved about our stay at this property:
*The view and easy access to that view and to all parts of the island.
*The people! We had great conversations with other travelers, unit owners, and the bar tenders at the inviting, outdoor bar and in the hot tub.
*Conveniently close to shops, restaurants, services, groceries, and entertainment.
*Our host, Esther, was attentive and accessible and she ensures that her rental is clean and ready.

I love staying in Kapaa for its central location. This ocean front studio was 100% as described, had everything you could need for the many beaches and also the other comforts you’d expect from any other hotel. The grounds of the condo are gorgeous. Heather stayed in communication prior to our trip, check-in was super easy, and we are leaving completely satisfied.

Positives-Check in was a breeze.
WIFI in unit.
TV in unit, as others have noted a vertical line on the left side of the screen is distracting.
Grounds upkeep was done daily.
BBQ supplied, but aged.
Negatives...old, dated, warn furniture not as pictured
1. A/C did not work when using the controls for the unit. Management team member came over and turned on a power switch which was hidden from sight. Once on the controls did not increase/decrease speed of the fan nor temperature of the A/C.
2. Sliding door, very difficult to open. Sliding screen door did not function at all. off the track, it needs to have all the rollers replaced probable about a $20 FIX. This has been noted by several entries in the log book in the unit.
3. View from the deck of the ocean can only be seen while standing , table on deck is too low and what you see is the deck railing.
4. Kitchen area amenities were adequate but not sure when the last time everything had been removed snd sanitized. Trash can location is right next to the silverware drawer.
5. Lack of outlets in the unit, use of power strips for additional outlets.
6.We had to call multiple times for clean towels to be delivered by the management company. Also we were in the condo for 10 days and no clean sheets provided
7. Bathtub lacks a hand hold and tub bottom was slick.
8.Front door is very difficult to open.
Others have noted these same conditions in the journal in the unit for years.

The location of this property is perfect for getting around the island easily. It is truly ocean front and the grounds are stunning! Front desk staff always friendly when passing through the lobby. Unit was clean and exactly as pictured, view was amazing. Pool area clean and busy but never had trouble finding a chair. Beach area is great place to relax…we used the beach chairs provided with the unit. Beach towels were also nice to have. Cooler, umbrella and boogie boards also available at the unit but not used. Bed was very comfortable. We didn’t even try the tv…we were too busy experiencing the island.
A couple of things to note that are worth mentioning (although most of these things would not change our decision to stay) …1)in room safe didn’t work and was not repaired during our 7 day stay despite notifying management on the first day, 2) sliding glass door very hard to open and close, and 3) this is an adjoining room and there can be a lot of noise from neighbors at times (the last half of our stay we could hear their tv as well as talking and coughing very easily). These weren’t game changers as we weren’t in our room too much. When we were there we were too exhausted from all of our island adventures to care.
Overall a wonderful stay! Thank you!

This room has a view toward the beach and overlooks the pool area as well. You can sit on the patio in the morning and evening to enjoy the sound of the ocean and breeze coming in. The location is just outside the busier Kapaa central area, but there are several stores and restaurants within walking distance too. Overall my stay was very enjoyable and relaxing. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Kauai.

First time in Kauai and spent 7 days. Smallish second floor unit so no noise from above - great. Got used to rooster crows after the second night. Location fantastic - close to beach, river kayaking, Smith's Family Luau, chocolate farm, hiking trails and great restaurants (Sam's and Lava Lava. Unit well stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas and even water shoes. Kitchen very small, but had sufficient cutlery and dishware, coffee machine, small microwave, a toaster and a mini-fridge. No access to Islander washer/driers so had to wash in tub. Price was right so would definitely visit again.

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.

We loved our location! Right on the beach! And shopping and coffee shop and restaurants right there!
Nice room with a balcony where we could see the ocean. We had quick response to our air conditioner not working. We left something in the room and they mailed it to us right away. The room was clean. We thought maybe the floors could have had a better cleaning but over all very clean. We needed at least a small freezer as part of the refrigerator and there was not one, so that was a challenge for us. We wished for a smart TV but bought a fire stick to be able to watch Netfix etc. We were disappointed there was no stove or range so we could cook but looking again, it was clear in the description, we just missed it. We definitely loved our stay and would book again!!!

We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lovely grounds and the ocean from this condo. The bed was very comfortable and there were lots of towels, including beach towels. The "kitchen" was a bit sparsely equipped, but we only used it for breakfast. The toaster was cleverly hidden behind other things under the sink so we didn't find it for several days. The sofa was also very comfortable. This is a fine place for two people.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the Garden Island Properties. It was our first time to Kauai and wanted a place that gave us access to the north side of the island as well as the south side. Poipu Beach is about a 35 minute drive to the south. Hanalei Beach is about a 40 minute drive to the north. The property itself was beautiful. It was right on the coast and gave us balcony views of the ocean. Every morning we woke up and enjoyed the sunrise over the ocean. The property is located next to the Coconut Marketplace which provided easy, convenient access to a grocery store, restaurants, shopping and a farmers market. The property is just a short drive from Kapa'a proper with other grocery stores, restaurants and touristy options. The condo was clean and provided everything we needed, even a little kitchenette with dishes and silverware. The property management was very easy to communicate with and always very responsive to us reaching out. We would definitely recommend this property to others and would like to stay here again!

Just a couple of suggestions.. the shower liner needs to be changed, little mold collected on it.
Secondly the glass on the sliding door needs to be cleaned inside the double pane. This way the tenet can can a nice clear view of the ocean with the door closed.
Other than that the stay was wonderful and the price was 1/2 of the big hotel chains. Will most definitely stay there gain :)

We’ll let it slide that there was a small amount of dust on the bedside lamp 😂🤘🏼
What an amazing room! You CAN see the ocean from the porch/windows!
The two beds are good for my girlfriend who enjoyed leaving me when I snored.
Are the window curtains thick enough? I guess ask the folks walking by at 9pm 😮💨😁😬
The kitchen does the job. Finding the utensils is a nice stretch. There ARE coffee filters in the upper cupboard. The ice machine is a 3 min walk, but No problem.
Overall 5 stars, and a big ol’ Aloha to ya!

Loved how close to the hot tub and pool this unit was, we could see when it was busy and wasn't, and being able to see the ocean every day from the balcony. The grounds are beautiful and we loved the info cards on all of the plants. The room was spacious and clean, but we couldn't get comfortable with the stiff pillows, and the whirling from the bathroom fan was really loud. We couldn't figure out the TV but would definitely keep this as an option for our next time in Kauai!

We had a good stay without any major issues. We needed to clean a few things before we settled in for the first night. There was something on the wall in the bathroom and the toilet was loose and kind of sideways. We mopped the floor because it smelled like feet. You don't want to come in late at night or you'll have difficulties finding a parking spot. Other than that everything was excellent.

Great central location. It's close to the airport and half way to Princeville or Waimea. Islander on the Beach is a nice clean resort right on the beach. There are restaurants, shopping and a grocery store across the street.
The room is an end unit which was nice because it had an extra window that brought in a lot on sunlight. The room is small but has everything you need including beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, boogie boards, etc. It's perfect for a couple and maybe a small child.
My only complaints are the room was dimly lit at night time and the bathtub didn't drain properly. I texted Kristen with the issues and she was very responsive. She was able to get a plumber to come out on a Sunday.
We had a great stay in Kauai.

The studio is in a great Location, not only the resort is beautiful, in front of the beach, with some shops and restaurants around but also Wailua is in the center of the island, easy to go to any direction.
The studio is very confortable and charming. I think it can have some small improvements, but it was a very good stay.
(The hair driyer was not workig, and a kettle for tea drinkers would be nice)
