We love this condo! The ocean front view is amazing and we enjoyed seeing the sunrise everyday. It’s very clean and central to everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend!

We were a group of three retired adults who have traveled to Hawaii many times. This was a favorite stay for us on Kauai. Everything in the property description was accurate. The beach supplies were exceptional. There were 3 band new Tommy Bahamas beach chairs with all the bells and whistles, a new large umbrella and hard sided cooler. Also beach toys for kids. 4 beach towels were provided. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a nice variety of spices. Adequate cleaning and laundry supplies were provided. We were greeted with some Hawaiian coffee, nuts, candy and a bottle of wine. A nice touch!We did have some learning curves with the AC and never really did master the system.As for the chicken noise (not a big deal), be aware that all the islands have feral chickens and it's just part of living/vacationing in Hawaii. We enjoyed the beach and the proximity to the apartment. We saw whales, dolphins and monk seals almost every day, All and all it was a wonderful stay and very comfortable apartment for the 3 of us. Highly recommended and look forward to returning.

We had a great time staying here. The location was perfect being steps away from the beach. It was also close to shops and bars. There is a resident monk seal that sleeps on the beach. We named him Jerry. He may look dead but he's just a deep sleeper

This condo was a good place to stay. It has everything you would need for cooking, the beach and access to the island. The beach is great for sunrises and wading. The location provides great access to all sides of the island and close to shopping, dining and amenities. It does get warm without AC, the fans are helpful but takes a bit to cool you down.

Nicely kept condo with pretty much everything you could need during a vacation! Nice location too (easy to walk to Safeway, Kenji Burger, and shave ice!). Plus an amazing view of the ocean! Host was easy to contact and responsive. Thanks for having us!

Our stay at the blissful beachfront condo was really nice. The location has really convenient walking access to Safeway for basic needs but also within walking distance to multiple restaurants, we enjoyed Lemongrass grill, tiki tacos, positive coffee and wailua shave ice. The beach was really easy and convenient to walk down to and enjoy sun rise or sunset and our host David was really quick with responding to us. Had a great time!

We really enjoyed the stay at this location. It had everything we needed. The ocean was directly in front of us and we saw whales at a distance. The pool and hot tub were very close, along with groceries, restaurants and walking paths. The bedroom is air conditioned and the breeze from the patio door cooled off the rest of the condo.

We stayed for here in Kapa’a for a few days. Honestly, I wish we wouldn’t stayed here to e entire time. It was clean and everything we needed was provided. It’s right on the beach and is walkable to some great restaurants. We especially enjoyed Lemongrass across the street. Highly recommend!

We arrived hours before a big storm that cancelled flights into Kauai. We had zero complications and we know others in our area lost internet service, power or water. So we felt lucky. My husband is short and elderly with loss of leg strength so the higher than normal bed height was a small challenge. It was a clean and cute motel room with bathroom, mini-microwave and mini-fridge. 175 for cleaning fee is high given the size and market.

Condo had a beautiful view of the beach and the accommodations were very comfortable. An electrical breaker needed to be replaced on the third day but response was quick and efficient.

Great value for the money. Love the location; near both north and south activities. A few items were not working properly, though communication with the management company was fantastic and they did what they could to remedy the issues.

This unit was ok for our stay as there were only two of us and we did not spend a lot of time there. This unit would be cozy for four, as there is only a loveseat and a chair, your fourth would have to sit on the bed for movie night. The 2nd bedroom lacks a dresser. Location is good to access both ends of the island, it’s right off of Kuhio highway and Kapa’a bike path

My husband, sister, and I were in Kauai to run a road race and explore the island. We spent very little time in our VRBO by design. The central location of Kapa'a and the VRBO worked out great for us.We give this property five stars because it delivered exactly what we wanted and needed. Is it upscale and fancy? No. Was it well-stocked, yes. Was Sura responsive? Yes. Did it have a nice ocean setting? Yes. I appreciate that our host checked in on us but did not pester or hassle us in any way. I would recommend her and this property.

Overall the property was great. perfect location. Pool size was very deceiving and very small and seemed as though it was not heated so we never went in it. Bedrooms were extremely small and outdoor chairs were uncomfortable. Checking in was a breeze. the biggest downfall was how close the neighbors were. It was bad wanting to just sit in quiet on the deck in the morning and watch the sun come up and the neighbors turn on the back light and sit within feet of you. A few of these things could have been disclosed i feel.

This apartment is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It is appointed with kitchen implements, dishware, utensils, pans, some basic staples and herbs. Breezes keep the room pleasant without the need for air conditioning.It is located south of Kapaa, a nice position between the Northwest side beyond Princeville and the Southwest side of Waimea Canyon State Park.

This property was not as nice as the other two we stayed at during this trip. The unit is quite small but I knew that from the listing. Expected another tv since there are two separate bedrooms. The bedspread on the back bedroom bed was filthy. Didn’t even want to place our listening it or sit on it. Glad to see the chairs in the closet and plenty of towels. In the kitchen was constantly washing dishes as there were so few. Not enough for a day of meals with just two people! Also no utensils for grilling. I noticed other reters having issues with the grills as well. This unit is exceptionally noisy. Hi way traffic, chickens at 4 am, and people. I’ve been to Kauai many times but never had windows like these that makes it seem like you are outside. Very noisy! Surprisingly this unit only had 1 tv despite two bedrooms and a small living room. Disappointing. The tv selection is not good either. Appreciate the washer and dryer and the supplies In The panty. Easy to get to the beach. Didn’t use the small pool filled with locals.

The condominium was very clean, updated and well supplied. The view from the deck makes it very difficult to do anything but relax and enjoy! You are convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. The management company kept in touch to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Perfect place!

I reserved this place on Nov 29th; they had scheduled for more than 30 days a Pest Spraying to occur the morning I was to be checking out on Jan 2nd; my birthday. I had my parents visiting whom I hadn’t seen in 2 years. Upon day of checkin I was sent an email saying they have pest control coming in at 8am to spray the kitchen and there’s nothing they can do to reschedule . They didn’t even attempt to communicate with us about it. Then they show up when we are in the middle of Breakfast at 8am and ask us to go in our rooms so they can spray the kitchen. I was pissed! Complete disrespect and disregard for their customers. tell them if u are planning such. As a property manager myself U know what goes into keeping Property’s up to date and having them ready for the customers ! Unprofessional!

This condo had all the accommodations including a fully equipped kitchen. We especially appreciated two king beds for our teens to have more room instead of the normal queen. Parking was a little confusing, and despite being on the street side of the building, it was quiet.

Our stay at Kauai Kailani was amazing! The view from the balcony and the couch is breathtaking. Sunrises are right around the corner from this unit - a short walk away. This unit has two rooms with AC units that made sleeping very comfortable. There is no AC in the living space and kitchen but opening the window shutters in the bathroom and the sliding doors on the balcony made it very nice. This unit was a part of the beach view units and it felt like a small community because everyone was on their balconies at night, kids playing the yard, and in the pool. Tina was very helpful at addressing the washer not working and was able to get us a restock of towels half way through our stay. A new washer/dryer stackable is on its way over from the big island. We absolutely would return to this property. They are great with communication as well.

The condo’s location was perfect for runners as we were able to easily access the run/bike path daily. We walked into Kapaa town about a mile away. The Safeway was across the street. Beach access was easily accessible so took advantage of daily sunrises. The condo’s couches and rugs were well worn. The second bedroom’s wall adjacent to the living space was essentially a screen that did not reach the ceiling, making noise an issue. Not a great setup for a family of 4 and mother-in-law.

My daughter and 2 yr old granddaughter loved this condo and location so close to the beach and with a wonderful ocean view. With the easy access to the ocean and the ground floor lawn yard it was great for us and our toddler!I appreciate all of the gear for the beach and snorkeling and also the pack and play and the high chair for our toddler.

I had a small hiccup checking in but the property manager smoothly fixed. That was very much appreciated after a long flight. The unit had all the amenities need. The people were all friendly. Shops, restaurants and stores all within walking distance. The beach was great to hangout at. Would definitely recommend.
