We have stayed at this property several times before through the hotel portion. This time we rented a condo through VRBO. We love the property and location. Everything about the individual condo was great. It was an oceanfront condo on the third floor. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. There were plenty of towels. Candace was very responsive to our questions and replied to texts within minutes. We were able to check in early too. I will definitely stay here again next time we are in Kauai.

It is very short walking distance to the Coconut Marketplace which is a big plus. Convenient location to both the north and south sides of the island. Property grounds are near immaculate. Awesome view.

The condo was nice, and Islander on the Beach was a very nice complex. The location was great, we could visit the north and south sides of the island from this centrally located condo.

We loved it here! The natural beauty of the room and grounds delighted us! We would stay here again, but we need a kitchen. The mini fridge and microwave were good enough for this trip, tho!

This property is in an excellent location. The views from the unit are beautiful. The pool and hot tub are perfectly located right next to the beach. Great little bar at the pool that serves drinks daily from 3-6! Lava Lava Beach Club is right next door and the Coconut Plantation shops and restaurants are across the parking lot. The property sits at the beginning of the famous bike trail which runs 6miles along the ocean.

This property offered absolutely everything we needed to enjoy our stay in beautiful Kauai. The views were absolutely amazing, and falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean waves was incredible. AC worked great, and the bed was the most comfortable that we've experienced at the Aston Islander on the beach. The pool was just a few steps away. The room was clean and well maintained. The location is perfect, as there is a fantastic selection of restaurants within walking distance. The local market is awesome, with deli food that rivals many locations on the island. We will definitely stay here again if it's available for our next trip!

The location was great! Close to almost everything we needed. Our view was amazing. We loved sleeping with the slider open and listening to the ocean. Although it didn't have a full kitchen, for a 7 day stay the fridge and microwave was enough. The Coconut Market Place just steps away was a plus!

The room was as advertised, small and simple but adequate for us. Location was great could see the ocean from our balcony and the coconut grove was a great spot for food and shopping. Highly recommend.

The unit is perfectly located, on the the 2nd of 3 floors in a beautifully landscaped older resort, very close to the ocean and the pool. Management was responsive and the property description was accurate. The unit includes a big, old microwave and 2 refrigerators, essentially in the bedroom. The cabinets in the bedroom are full of dishes, silverware, etc. There is one smallish wardrobe for guests to use. The unit was not especially clean and the dirty broom and dustpan stood in the corner of the bathroom; there was a broom closet, but it was locked. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay, and are glad we chose it. It would have been more relaxing and nicer if the unit were updated and there was less bedroom space devoted to kitchen stuff. We enjoyed the other guests we met at the resort, and loved walking up and down the coast in the morning. To the south, there's a beachside restaurant, and to the north, there's a Starbucks in a hotel. Also, it's easy to drive all over the island from this central location.

Place was in the perfect location, within walking distance to many restaurants and shops, walking path right behind us along the beach. The condo had everything we needed and host was very responsive to any questions we had.

The view from the lanai is wonderful. Restaurants and shops in the Coconut Marketplace were only steps away and very convenient. Pool and spa were crystal clear and the pool bar had a 3-6 happy hour.

Everything was great! I think I saw a complaint about the mattress but I’d guess they replaced it. It was quite comfortable

Wonderful, comfortable, close access to beach and pool, able to see whales on the horizon one morning, access to staff easily, yummy Lava Lava Beach Club food and music, perfect jumping off point for all things Kauai, and wonderful to return "home" to this sweet abode.And if you have to close the sliding glass door to the lanai because of rooster crowing, the fan/ac unit is super quiet and helpful! Would definitely come back to stay here again.

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.

The view from our Unit was outstanding. Kauai was beautiful and there were many things to do and see. We would recommend the trip and the Unit we stayed in to anyone.

Blue Kauai is not a multi- million dollar high end resort - it has more of laid-back vibe. The grounds are lovely with incredible views, lots of birds (and yes, chickens) and walkways along the coast. The location is perfect - close to activities, airport and shopping. The Coconut Shopping Center is great. The Lava Lava Beach Club next store was our favorite bar/restraint of our entire stay in Hawaii.

We loved the location. Beautiful grounds. Seems most things in Kapaa are older, but comfortable. View from balcony online is only available by one chair. The beach chair and cooler available for use on the balcony are old and dirty. Probably haven’t been used in years. Nice that they had a fan to use because the a/c didn’t put out much. It was fine for us in February, but I’m not sure how well it would hold up in the summer heat. The fan could use a cleaning and has a part missing which makes it rattle. The beach is small, but we throughly enjoyed it. We always managed to get available hotel beach chairs each time we went out. Thank you hosts for sharing your wonderful place with us. Wish we could have stayed longer. Or, just live there!

Property is beautiful right in the walking path!! Great restaurant next door. Would definitely stay again. Entry information came through email would have been nice to have it in the app. Sugar and creamer would have been a nice to have but store and coffee shop and everything you need is walkable

Perfect little condo perfect view. Perfect support! I just couldn’t have been better! Communication was excellent. There was even my favorite macadamia nut coffee and some chocolates waiting for us so that was a beautiful little surprise! Highly recommend - just couldn’t get a better view of the beach and the unit is very conveniently located next to Shopping so you can walk right next-door. Everything was perfect!

We loved this location and property. The condo was only steps from the pool which was so fun. The condo was a little cramped with two small kids and two adults.

Location was great, room was clean and in good repair other than the keypad lock, which failed our first day there. It was later replaced, and there was a backup key, so no problem. The Vacasa people were great about helping us with that issue. The property is nice, and it was wonderful to sleep to the sound of the waves. The view was gorgeous, and we thoroughly enjoyed our lanai, that included sturdy furniture and a drying rack for towels. The bed was big, and decently comfortable, and there was plenty of space to put away our clothes.They give you a starter package of supplies, and the rest is on you. Some items that I would expect that weren't there were tissues and beach chairs (we left some behind for the next guest). There were very few trash bags to get started, so we had to buy some (also left behind). Keep in mind, this is a hotel room with fridge and microwave, so you can't really do much in the way of cooking. There is also no dishwasher, so all dishes must be hand washed. The fridge didn't have a freezer, so frozen meals were out of the question. The "kitchen" was mainly for reheating leftovers from restaurants, and eating/drinking directly from the fridge.Overall, we had a great trip, and the location makes this property worth it. I would have preferred one with a stove top and freezer, however.

Great little bungalow! It was centrally located and close to the beach! Had nice little shops and eating places and the grounds were so beautiful! I will definitely stay here again! Working with the property manager was a breeze. They just sent us the code before we checked in and that was it. We had a wonderful time in Kauai.

We had a good time staying at this VRBO. We chose it for its central location and beach views, which didn't disappoint. The property manager was very responsive and the listing is pretty accurate. This VRBO is essentially a hotel room in terms of size and layout, as well as building setup. Just know that you might hear doors close, water moving in pipes, toilets, outside guests, etc. Roosters are a thing on Kauai and they are a thing here, starting at 5am, not sure that will change anywhere you stay on-island. We used ear plugs, but we sleep light.Parking can be a struggle after 7pm and you may have to park on the street. We found the area to have so many conveniences that it made up for the perceived shortcomings in our eyes. There is a grocery store a short walk away, great path outside with restaurants nearby, easy highway access and central location to drive north or south. Decent stay for the price. There is a pool and the grounds are well kept. Great sunrises from this property as well. We won't frequent this VRBO in the future, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

This is over our ninth time staying at Islander on the Beach. First time in this unit. Besides a very difficult to open and close slider out to the lanai (roller was frozen) and inadequate lighting over the sink (fixture was missing) all went well. Had an exceptional view of the sunrise every morning

Reviewer Comments:
Any questions were answered immediately. We’re in contact with you before you came. Place was clean.small but nice kitchen. Nice box of goodies left for you. I came in at midnight in the pouring rain. Tea, nuts and cookies were a great snack. The pool, hot tub and bar was a nice way to end your evening. Location next to the market place.

It would be nice to have bar height table and chairs for the lanai so the rail isn't always in your view. It would be nice to have other hooks and towel rods in the bathroom. Then vent/fan in the bathroom is really loud. Would be nice to turn the light on in the bathroom and not the fan.Need more outlets in the room. The extension cord outlets were very loose and hard to get to. The lanai door was very hard to open and the handle is loose. The view was beautiful from the lanai. Great location. We had to deal with smokers in 354 even though there are signs and you sign a contract saying no smoking on grounds. Front desk was of no help.

My partner and I enjoyed staying here. The view of the ocean and sunrise was beautiful! Also the location next to the Coconut marketplace is super convenient. The room was a little outdated but overall fine. The bed is thin and hard if that’s what you’re into. Another thing to note is that it’s quite busy (not loud) with people walking by on the cement walkway/path directly in front of the condo. Parking was a bit limited at times and we had to park out on the street by the marketplace one night. Pool and hot tub are nice and they have a bar with a bartender that opens at 3 pm. .

You can't beat this location! Open the lanai and there is the beach. The unit has everything you need for great time.
