This condo is basically a one room hotel room with a kitchenette. It is on the ground floor of a three story unit. The back of the unit has sliding glass doors that opens to a small patio and to the beach that is about 60ft from there. With nothing between this unit and the beach. The unit and building were clean and in great condition. The bathroom was of a good size. The kitchenette has a mini fridge along with oven toaster and a microwave. The grounds are well maintained with a large variety of plants. The pool and pool's bar is near this unit. The property had plenty of parking available. The front desk staff was very helpful. Across the parking lot and in easy walking distance is a small outdoor mall with a grocery store as well as a couple restaurants and souvenir stores. This location works out as central to places on the island. As well as short drive to and from the airport. If I go back to Kauai I hope to stay here again.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The ocean is literally 50 feet away with loungers on the beach for guests. Great sunrise views from the lanai. The building this unit is in is a 30 second walk to the pool, hot tub and pool bar. The property is beautifully landscaped and lush. Be prepared for substantial wind and wave noise on the lanai being that close to the water though. Surprisingly the pool area was very sheltered if that is more your thing.

Loved the views and location. Didn't have to travel far for food and shopping. Convenience is key when you're out and about all day hiking traveling and out on the beach.

My husband and I stayed for the second half of our trip. Everything was perfect! In addition to 5 star cleanliness, communication, location and ease of check in we also loved the location and view of this particular unit/building. Steps from the ocean, pool, tiki bar and hot tub…couldn’t be better! The grounds were beautiful and well kept. We also loved having options for groceries, shopping, and restaurants within a short walk. In room amenities worked well… mini fridge, water pressure, keurig, air conditioning, blow dryer, and comfortable bed. It was also nice to have beach chairs in front of the building on the beach and available backpack Tommy Bahama chairs to take with when visiting other beaches. Previous review mentioned that the table height was low and therefore view was obstructed by the balcony railing. Owner obviously pays attention to feedback because the table on the balcony has been replaced and is now bar height. If you stay here be sure to check out the Island Grill for affordable, quick, and delicious fish tacos!

This was the perfect condo in the perfect location. The oceanfront view cannot be beat. The unit was clean & the bed is huge and comfy. The little balcony was perfect for quiet times with wine or coffee. Hint: open ALL the drawers even if they don't look like drawers. We did so on our last morning and found all sorts of goodies! Boogie Boards, beach chairs & 2 coolers are provided. A large Marketplace is steps away and full of restaurants & shops, & the ABC store deli provides all the prepared food you'd want if, like us, you don't want to cook. If you don't want to explore you don't need to rent a car staying here, but I recommend exploring the island as it is stunning. We got married on Shipwreck Beach in a traditional Hawaiian Lei Ceremony. We'll have great memories of Kauai and this unit. Thanks Candace!

Fantastic place and great location at the Coconut Market Place. I'm almost afraid to say how good, cause now you'll get more customers, and it will be harder for me to get to rent it, again. Very clean, close to beach and shopping and eating establishments. The "Coconut" Thai Food place was excellent and only a 2 minute walk. Thanks again, John & Marla Polos

Studio just as described. Nice room with a wonderful view, comfortable place to stay. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub, but they looked nice. Tiki Bar with happy hour 3-6 every night, decent drinks. Places to eat nearby. Easy access to all other areas of the island.

I really liked this condo. 11 out of 11. Clean, quiet and well stocked with towels (bath and beach). It was conveniently located, not far from the airport (important on an island, unless you're never leaving...) and basically right in the middle of the traversable parts of the island, so one could get to either the west or north sides in about the same amount of time. The nearby town was very nice, offering various dining options. And it's Hawaii, so it's gonna be nicer than wherever you usually spend your dreary days.
Thanks for the nice stay!

We are grateful for the well equipped stay at your condominium. My wife and I did enjoy the facilities but getting into the jacuzzi was an issue. There were noticeable young adults that were not staying at this Aston islander establishment that would just jump in the jacuzzi at night not giving us guests a chance to enjoy the jacuzzi unless we jumped in the morning which we did. I strongly recommend you either put a gate around the pool or bracelets for guests to restrict access to the pool and jacuzzi. Also, the noise from the bar can be heard loudly at times in the night which again was the young crowd. We also did not enjoy that.

The view from the lanai was wonderful! The Kauai Kookies and Kauai Coffee samplers in the kitchen table basket were a nice touch! Location is a stones throw from the Coconut Marketplace and many good food/dining options in walking distance!

Property is in a great location. Dining options within walking distance. Nice path to walk along the shoreline to watch the sunrise. Property was very clean and plenty of parking. The patio was nice to enjoy coffee in the morning while enjoying the view.

It was an excellent experience and very delightful. Right on the ocean and the fresh air was wonderful. Excellent location by being in the middle of it all. My hope is I can return and spend more time there. It was glorious to enjoy God's creation in this way.

The apartment's prime location by the ocean and proximity to restaurants and stores are its standout features. However, cleanliness was an issue as I observed numerous hairs on the floor. The Vacasa team's prompt response and willingness to rectify the situation showcased their commitment to customer satisfaction. They truly excel in their service.

Pleased with our stay at this property. Clean, very friendly staff and beautiful views!!
Our unit could use some updating in the bathroom but overall comfortable.
There was no guilt with that extra cocktail as we got our exercise walking 3 flights of stairs several times a day!
Worth every step!!

Awesome location and view for the price. Will stay again, hopefully sooner than later.

Loved this place. We have stayed here in a different room twice before. This room has a fantastic view and lanai. No way to really cook much, but that is how all of the rooms here are to my knowledge. It did have a microwave and mini fridge. Small countertop. The property does have a BBQ you can use. We had a fantastic view of the pool and ocean. The pool atmosphere here is beautiful with the beach within steps. There were DVD's to watch, Nothing that we cared to watch, but it was nice to have available. Nice to have cable TV and it allowed us to watch the news channel we prefer and some shows as well. A puzzle and books in the end table, which we didn't discover until the last day. Bed was comfortable. Good supply of towels. We would definitely stay here again.

The lanai overlooking the pool and the ocean was a great place for breakfast or private happy hour! Many restaurants, stores, and a great walking path are steps away. The AC was great but we really did not need it in March. Parking is easy and near. The complex has beautifully manicured gardens. The few staff we interacted with were very pleasant. Nice pool, hot tub, and bar at the pool. The room was perfectly cleaned and cooled down before we arrived. There is a handy ice machine just below the room on the ground floor. The key is handily stored in a lockbox just outside the door! A caretaker gave us coffee for the coffee maker and a number of snacks. There are currently beach chairs, a boogie board, and a cooler for use. The is a nice map and a list of things to do while visiting. We would stay here again and have already recommended it to friends coming here in a couple months.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect for two people, right on the beach which was quiet. Loved the seals on the beach! Was a fun surprise.
The place really had everything we needed. The ONLY thing I would have liked a few more of were shower towels.
Two beach chairs and a cooler were provided - that was nice. With the shops and restaurants below, we ate quite a bit there and grocery shopped for snacks and drinks. Super convenient.
The view from the porch is even better than the pictures. The ocean was much closer than what the pictures show on the listing.
Highly recommend esp for the price and all of the conveniences that are right there!

We were very satisfied with our room, it was a couple of steps from the beach and to shops and restaurants. The grounds were beautiful and quiet. I was surprised that there were plates, cups, mugs and a toaster, we did have to purchase silverware but not a big deal. The beach chairs came in handy as well as the cooler. Great price for what we got, I would highly recommend this room we had a wonderful stay.

Had everything we needed, down to a knife and cutting board for the fresh papaya we got from The Papaya King!! It was such a great place to spend time that we canceled our last day of tourist stuff and just hung out at the resort!!

Pros: Easy reservation process, even when we extended our stay.Happy hour by the pool was terrific! We met lots of nice people, and the mai tais were delicious!Location can't be beat--loved coconut marketplace, Bobby V's and all the shops. Cons:AC unit was very old and wouldn't turn off, so it got pretty cold at night. Bed wasn't very comfortable, but we prefer a firm mattress. Didn't get our midweek cleaning, but the company reimbursed us for it promptly.

Loved our stay at Islander on the beach! To have the ocean right outside our door and a shopping center, ABC store and meal options within a short walking distance from our room was perfect for the first week of our stay on the island. The property the resort is on is absolutely beautiful with all of its tropical trees and flowers. Check in was stress free and I appreciated the app.
The only thing I’d suggest for future guests is to provide bedding for the pull out couch

The location of this property is amazing! It’s right on the beach with amazing views of the ocean! There are local shops and restaurants within walking distance. It’s about a 45 minute drive to the north side and about the same to the west side - traffic dependent. The space itself is as described with all the extras needed for an unforgettable trip. We would stay here again!

We think this is the best location on the island, and we had everything we needed at the Islander. We could walk for miles on the beach path, as well as walk to several restaurants and shopping at Coconut Marketplace. And yet we weren't far from the north shore or the Poipu area if we wanted to jump in the car.
