Islander on the Beach, Kauai

Islander on the Beach is a condotel resort (some hotel rooms and some condos) located in Wailua, which is just south of Kapaa. Islander on the Beach features a pool and hot tub and beautiful grounds. Although beachfront, the ocean here is too rough to swim in, but good for beach walks. Wailua Bay and river are located just to the south. Less than 5 minutes away is Lydgate beach park, one of the safest snorkeling and swimming spots on Kauai with its man made tide pool. The park also features a playground and fort for children. A couple minutes south of Lydgate is Nukolii Beach, an excellent walking beach..

Islander on the Beach Reviews


Property exactly as described/shown in listing. Clean with comfortable bed. Exactly what we were looking for within our budget. Beautiful sunrises and great to come back to in the evenings after exploring all day. My husband appreciated the AC. Great communication with host.

Can't give enough stars to explain how perfect this unit is. Clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, as well as a fully equipped kitchenette. Close to the pool and unbelievable views of the sunrise from the deck

August 2023

Our stay in Kapaa was perfect. The condo was cute and in a great location. It was in a central location to the other major cities on the island. It is close to great food choices, the pool and beach were less than a 5 minute walk. Candace was great to work with and made our booking, check in and check out easy!! We loved this location and would stay here again in a heart beat.

This was the PERFECT place for us! Property was beautiful with stunning views. Very quiet but plenty to do nearby. I've already recommended this place to my brother who may be planning a trip next year. We'll definitely stay here again if we ever make it back to Hawaii. Thanks so much!

Easy to visit the island from there. Everything in the unit to have breakfast before you go explore. A few restaurants on location. Beach is beautiful, but a little too rocky and to swim. Overall, a nice place to stay.

This unit is our go to place to stay when visiting Kauai. We enjoy the unit, the property, the location and have never had an issue during our stays. The unit is very clean and Esther is always reachable should you need something (but you won’t) Highly recommend staying here, you won’t be disappointed! Aloha!

The pictures are very accurate & the view spectacular. It had everything that we needed for a couple extra days before flying back to the mainland. The 1/2 kitchen, full bath & king size bed were perfect. Also the decor was very nice. The tiki bar was nice, pool fun & Coconut Marketplace was convenient. The location was right where we needed to be. The distance to the airport is very good and filling up with gas (even early in the am) was convenient in Wailua. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends & plan to stay when we visit again! MAHALO!!!

Oh my!! Where do I even begin!! It’s THE most beautiful and convenient condo for your stay on Kauai’s east side!!! The room was perfect! It had everything we needed and more!! The pictures don’t lie! The view from the lanai is beautiful! The soothing sounds of the ocean 🌊 was heavenly! The convenience of shopping, eating and the beach is all right there!! The condo grounds are lush and immaculate! The details from host were spot on. Overall experience 11/10 Mahalo to the hosts for opening up their home away from home for this wonderful vacation :))

The Islander #348 with its direct oceanfront view was a wonderful unit, mere steps from the beach. Awakening to glorious sunrises, sitting on the balcony enjoying the ocean breeze in such a relaxing atmosphere, and falling asleep to the waves was nothing short of amazing!! The unit was tastefully decorated and provided everything we needed during our stay. Islander on the Beach’s location was right behind the Coconut Marketplace, placing it at the center of many great things to do. The grounds are simply breathtaking, exotic and colorful flora and fauna everywhere you turned. The exquisiteness of God’s creation is simply astounding! The tiki bar, pool and hot tub was a hot spot. On this visit to Kauai we chose to stay in Kapa’a, and it was a magnificent choice. We got to do and see so much, and yet there’s still so much to do on the island. Lava Lava Beach Club and Sam’s Oceanfront Restaurant were superb places to eat.

This was our second time staying at Islander on the Beach. The location is amazing, the grounds are beautiful and the price was reasonable. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The unit’s ground level location right next to the pool and steps away from the beach make for a very pleasant stay!

Stayed here with my teenage son, who is hard to impress. But the photo from the website was 100% accurate, the view was amazing and the location was exactly what we were looking for. Shops and restaurants within walking distance, so you don’t need to drive if you don’t want to. The room was clean with everything we needed and the A/C was on point. We loved it!

My husband and I stayed here during our trip to quiet and June/July 2023. The place is a cute little condo in a relatively quiet community. The condo is outfitted with necessities, and made for a very convenient place to stay. The community has a pool, hot tub, a small bar, and several outdoor grills poolside. The condo unit has plates, bowls, flatware, and several kitchen necessities, including a microwave, hot water, boiler, and a drip coffee machine. It even had two Tommy Bahama lawn chairs and a beach umbrella that we were able to use and enjoy for a beach day. I really love this location for a few reasons – first, it is just south of the town of Kapaa, which is a slightly busier area on the island. There are some great restaurants within close, driving distance, and even a small mini mall walking distance from the unit with great late night, food, options, and ABC market, and some lite shopping. But most importantly, for us, we wanted to explore as much of the island as possible, and this really made that easy to do. It is about an hour up to the north end of the island and an hour to an hour and a half to the south end of the island and up into the Waimea canyon. I think it would’ve been much more difficult had we stayed on the south or north end and had a 2+ hour drive ahead of us to get to the other side on any given day. This condo was very clean and had a very friendly staff at the front desk. Highly recommend, and would stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay! The condo was clean and in a great location! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

The place is wonderful for 2 people. The view is spectacular. The sounds of the waves are so soothing. Really missed having a full sized refrigerator but it is only a studio. Owners have very good communication. The place is very well appointed and close to east side adventures. Mahalo for sharing your place with us.

My husband and I have stayed at a VBRO at the Islander before. This area has a lovely beach to relax by, food and shopping within walking distance and the Islander itself is well maintained and the pool is so enjoyable. Additionally this location is pretty central to everything you might want to do on the island. We enjoyed snorkeling at Anini Beach, rented equipment from Kapaa Beach Shop, super friendly and they offer reasonable rates, prescription masks available. Kauai Back Country adventures for tubing, so fun for the family. There is a beautiful botanical garden just down the road, you can walk through at your own pace and feed the birds as you go along, Smith Botanical Garden (they have luaus and fire dancing too). This unit was very nice, the bed was comfortable and they supplied coolers, chairs and towels for the beach. They have dishes and some cookware but no cutlery, you will need to purchase your eating utensils. My only disappointment was that the pictures we saw of the balcony furniture are not what we got. We found the patio furniture to be a little old and worn. We still spent a lot of time out there enjoying our breakfast every morning. I would love to see the owner invest in bar height patio furniture so that guests can really enjoy the beautiful view without looking through the railing. We would definitely come back again.

We enjoyed our stay here a lot. The unit was easy to get to. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning on the lanai. The unit gets a nice breeze in the morning and afternoon. The ac works great. It is just a short walk from shops, food and Lava Lava. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you’re looking for a quiet, friendly, and relaxing place to stay with an awesome view of the ocean, this is the place for you. You don’t even need to rent a car. Stores and restaurants are a 5 min. walk.This condo is best for only 2 people but does have a sofa couch. No silverware or dishwasher, but not a problem for us. The ABC store had what we needed. I left a bottle opener for future quests.Although older buildings, the groundskeepers did an awesome job.You get your exercise going up the 3 flights of stairs. (No elevators) 😊

The property is beautiful-tropical plants and beautifully manicured. Just steps from the beach. Our lanai looked out onto the ocean where we could relax to the sound of the waves. Our studio was equipped with everything we needed and it was close to amenities. It was clean and comfortable-good vibes. Would definitely stay there again!
Debbie P.
June 2023

Clean and simple. Had everything we needed for a great vacation. Although we didn't truly spend much time in the room, it had everything we needed for a comfortable place to crash each night. The walls were a little thin so you could hear your neighbors, and the AC wasn't fully functioning, but the fan provided in the closet seemed to fix both issues.

Five stars is really not enough to rate how fabulous this property is as well as the owners! The owners, Heather and Khaled, have thought of absolutely everything to make the most of your stay. They were extremely thorough and thoughtful, and have set a high bar for the way they treat their guests. The condo itself has a wonderful view of the ocean (exactly like the picture!)...we could hear the waves crashing as we fell asleep, and enjoyed a few beautiful sunrises. It is a spacious studio with tons of drawer space. We never felt cramped! And the cute Hawaiian decor just added to the experience! Plus it is in walking distance to many shops, fun restaurants and the beach! Can't say enough...we had a fabulous time! Mahalo!

The location was fantastic. Top floor. Right on the beach. You can sit on the balcony and watch the surf, take a few steps to the beach or lay out by the fabulous pool. The beach is good for sitting in the many lounge chairs available, walking along the shore or swimming. The room was awesome. It was so clean, great view off the balcony, big screen tv, mini kitchen, clean bathroom with great water pressure. Hawaiian music was playing on the tv as we entered the room. Nice touch. Very nice beach chairs, beach mat, beach towels and even a small cooler are provided for beach adventures. The manager was so friendly and always available to answer questions. This is our place in Kauai and we will definitely be coming back.

Clean but a little on the small side with an amazing view. It’s located in a beautiful resort community with walkable stores/restaurants. We had 2-3 bugs on the bed but other than that the place was very clean (also it’s Hawaii so expect some bugs even for the cleanest properties). Would absolutely stay here again given its great location/view/cleanliness

We had an amazing stay. We heard the waves crashing as we went to bed and woke up each day. The view from the lanai was incredible (sunrise is beautiful if you're awake). The location o the east side of Kauai was perfect for us as we wanted to explore all parts of the island. There's a coffee shop and a grill with delicious lunch and dinner right on the property, and a marketplace with more food and shopping options just yards away. Our host was courteous and responsive. The listing was accurate. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our overall stay was very good. The property is super nice, well manicured, and the grounds are beautiful. The description of the unit is accurate, but it looks tired. Honestly, when we first arrived, it did not “feel” clean, but it was. The unit just needs TLC to bring it up to par with the beautiful property. The drawers on the cabinets are weak so I did not use them for fear they would break. So, we worked from our suitcases when it would have been nice to unpack for the week stay. The view and sound of the surf was awesome. Access to the Coconut Market Place was excellent. The ABC is within a 5 minute walk for just about anything you need including food and drink. There are several good restaurants and shave ice for a great dessert. The property to the south next door has the LavaLava Club (on the beach) and to the north is the Hukilau Lanai restaurant which is 5 stars. Parking was great and the front desk staff were very friendly.

Fridge, sink, microwave, coffeepot, blender, toaster and property grills took care of meal times. 10 minutes from the airport and many attractions (like the mountain tubing through 150 year old plantation irrigation canals!). Free parking, nice oceanfront pool with tiki torches, poolside bar open half the day. Grounds lush with trees, flowers, and birdsong. Coconut shopping center with many restaurants is a 2 minute walk.

It was really fun and relaxing to sit on the deck and watch the ocean. The bed and pillow were super comfortable. I also appreciate that the refrigerator was very quiet. This property was centrally located which made it easy to explore the island. The biggest issue with the property is the thin walls which causes you to hear your neighbors next door and above you. I just wore earplugs and I was fine. The rugs in the hallway were a bit dated and old, but the unit itself was super cute.

Cindy did great job communicating with us, and got us new towel exchange and beach chairs when rusted one broke.

Condo was advertised as being air-conditioned when we got to the condo it was not air-conditioned the air conditioner did not work when we called the owner she proceeded to tell us that if we hadn’t read read the contract we would see that if one of the appliances breaks down it will not be fixed she went on to say that we got the cheapest condo that she had. The condo was on the 3rd floor and with no air conditioning and 80% plus humidity every night’s sleep was miserable. When asked if she could provide us with another condo she said none available. She owns 52 condo units. Thanks Candice our dream vacation was ruined.

This is such a gem of a property. Ocean front with a lovely patio to have your morning coffee. The pool is right beside this room so it’s very convenient, and not loud. Pool bar has a great happy hour, and BBQ’s to cook on. Definitely would book again if we return to Kauai.

Overall, we had a very nice time at this property. The bed was super comfortable and the refrigerator was very quiet. Super cute! However, the walls are very thin and you can hear a lot of noise. The room was clean but could use a deep clean on the floors, especially the corners, lots of grime. The hallway rugs look a bit shabby too. The grounds were pretty and centrally located. Nice rental.

We have stayed at this condo many times and love it. It is right on the ocean, and you can fall asleep to the waves crashing, and wake up to the beautiful sunrise. We are gone all day and mainly only sleep at the condo, so it is perfect for us and has all we need.

We had the most amazing time staying here! I just can’t say enough about the beautiful views and wonderful people. The condo is perfect if you love hearing the ocean at night and being able to just run up to the room if you forgot something while at the beach. The pathway is pretty awesome too! We rented bikes and rode all up and down the path. The room itself is perfect for two! It was very clean and no funny smells. AC was perfect! We have stayed in similar places without AC and I don’t think I can ever go back to not having it. Very comfortable if you just want to hang out in the room too! I wouldn’t hesitate to get this room again. Great price for what you get!

April 2023

We arrived and it does look like the photos, bathtub, toilet and sink were all very clean. However it looks like those were the only things cleaned in a very long time. There were coaster marks on the table, thick dust on lamps, headboard, most surfaces not used often. The couch felt dirty almost mildly sticky? like it had been spilled on and cleaned many times, at some point just throw it out.. I called the owner and she did offer to send the cleaning crew out the next day. I did not have confidence they would do any better, nor did we want the invasion of privacy.. so my partner and went and bought $70 worth of cleanI spent a few hours deep cleaning, the day before we were getting married.. Floors felt slimy, doors were sticky with stains and hair that did come off. Rugs were very bad, we set them aside for the stay. The view would have been great but the seal in the glass has failed and so there is moisture in the slider that fogs it up badly. The bed was so uncomfortable we actually went and bought an air mattress on the second night and slept on it for the remaining 9 nights. The mattress was badly hammocked and oddly lumpy. Bugs, I know Hawaii has roaches, but the weather stripping on the front door has big gaps and we kept getting roaches, one was very very big. This was more than I have experienced at other places and could be mitigated by replacing the weather seal. I feel like that is the theme of this place, nothing is well maintained and looks ok in photos.. bare minimum is being done to clean and maintain. The owner did offer to credit me some money I spent on the cleaning products but almost 2 weeks since I stayed and don't see any money. Honestly just want people to know what they are getting into. The kitchen sink drain leaks under the cabinet, and the toilet runs 1-2 times in the night. Overall needs quite a few maintenance items done to be enjoyable and a better cleaning maybe quarterly where it's dusted, doors and surfaces are wiped down. Wish I could provide photos of some of the before and after we cleaned. I cannot recommend anyone stay here until this is sorted.

This property is in a super location. Overlooking the ocean just a few steps from the beach. There is a supermarket, shops and bars within walking distance.

Overall, the property is beautiful and in a great location to most good options. The room is small, but cozy and the balcony makes for beautiful views and meals outside. The room has a small fridge and tiny freezer, a small microwave, and other small appliances like a toaster, coffee maker, and blender. Every drawer and storage place is used to store something already, which makes storing your things a challenge. Overall, it served its purpose. I would recommend advising that a parking pass is needed to be secured at the lobby. I don’t remember seeing that detail in any of the instructions and we didn’t find out until we received a notice that our car was going to be towed. Also, the parking spots are VERY tight and some nights finding parking was difficult

This was our first time to Kauai but we have used Vrbo many times. As usual the booking process was seamless and communication with property manager was great. We enjoyed the condo. It was perfect for my husband and I space wise. It had pretty much everything we needed. We would have like to have had a small cooler to pack a lunch to go. And also a new non-stick frying pan with a plastic spatula would be great. Other than that the property was quiet, clean and it’s close proximity to Coconut Marketplace was awesome. It was the perfect location for all of our vacation needs. Thank you to Micki for his hospitality and allowing our late checkout!

I would have to say of the 3 properties we stayed at in Hawaii this was our favorite !

This is the most well equipped condo we've ever been in. Very comfortable!

Wonderful unit. Beautiful view (just like the picture). Very convenient location. Attentive host. Maybe not the largest or most luxurious place you can find, but it has everything you need and the price is right. It was just perfect for me and my spouse for our 6-night stay. We would definitely come back!

This was the best Vrbo experience. Everything was as it was presented and the property was fantastic. It was very comfortable and well cared for. The owners were very welcoming in their personalized notes and we could tell that they truly cared about our experience. We will definitely recommend this property to friends!

My husband and I had a phenomenal time at Candace’s place. Six week trip to the islands for our 40th wedding anniversary, this is our first time in Kauai. The east shore is the absolute best for sunrises and the Blue Kauai at Islander on the Beach place is a hidden gem on the island, great location, amenities and literally steps from the ocean! So much to see and do not far away, nature abounds.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. What could be better than being right on the beach and listening to the surf 24/7. The room was perfect and had everything we needed. What we really loved was that the property wasn’t too big. The pool and Tiki Bar were great. Lots of excellent restaurants nearby. We will be back!

Loved that you could walk to restaurants and grocery/market. Liked the beach chairs and cooler that came with the room, very helpful that we didn’t have to pack those for day excursions around the island. Overall nice little private place to enjoy the east side of Kauai.

We stayed here for a week and it was a great central location to all parts of the Island. Having a pool and places within walking distance was awesome! Would definitely stay here again!

Nice clean condo with easy access to the beach and the many amenities nearby. We needed a few things attended to and Edith had her maintenance people take care of them promptly. We are used to a guest book in room rentals to help us get oriented to the space. However, Edith sent all instructions by email and we didn’t always have our phones so some info went missing. The kitchen layout is somewhat bizarre. Regardless, the nearby restaurants are so good that you won’t be eating at the condo. We had a wonderful time in Kauai and this place was a great base for our outings.

This was our first time to Kauai and we had a terrific time. Staying at this wonderful unit was a highlight. Waking up every morning to the sunrise right from our lanai was a perfect way to begin each day. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was a perfect way to fall asleep. Plus, the unit was clean, had everything we needed for beach days, and was centrally located. We plan to return again.

Falling asleep listening to the waves and waking up to a beautiful sunrise was the perfect way to relax. The unit was clean and comfortable and as pictured.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have rented properties through Garden Island a number of times. I have always received excellent service and the units have always been as portrayed. Islander on the Beach is by far my favorite. It is perfectly located with regard to the beach, it is surrounded by charming shops and some very fine restaurants. It has easy access to the lovely town of Kapaa and the primary road granting access to the rest of the island. The condo had all of the necessities two equip me for my stay. The Garden Island staff is attentive and responsive. I have stayed in the same unit twice and it has been updated and refurbished. I would definitely stay here again and do recommend it to my friends.
