Probably the least we like was the available parking. The facility needs to include more parking spaces.

Highly recommend this gem of a location. Oceanfront waves, epic sunrises, walkable shoreline, swimming pool, and community room are all bonuses. The condo is on the top floor with 2 extra ocean-facing windows. One bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, ample storage space, extra linens & slat windows that allow the ocean waves to lull you to sleep. One flex room with two comfy twin beds, more ample storage space & a closet full of beach gear. Beautiful lanai, updated & fully stocked kitchen, multiple dining areas, and treats upon arrival. Place was immaculate and worked great for our family of three. Our 11 yo loved the pool & shoreline. There were no photos of the bathroom, but it was updated, fully stocked with both bath towels & beach towels as well as a washer & dryer. Jay was kind, informative & a pleasure to communicate with. We’d definitely stay here again.

This is a great place to stay! We would stay there again. We loved the view. The beach this location is on is a great beach--we spent a whole day on it! The location on the island is super convenient as it is between the north end and south end, so if you have activities in all locations, you can get to all of them with the same distance. You will love it!

We had a busy schedule planned for our Kauai trip, so we didn't intend to do much more than sleep and shower in our room. If that's your intention, this could be a good choice, as both the bed and shower worked well. This was one of the cheapest rentals we could find on the island, so that was nice too. In addition, if you intend to travel to both the north and south parts of the island, this is a good central location, as it's about an hour to the furthest point in either direction. We did use the frig and microwave for quick snacks, and those also worked well. There's also a good ceiling fan and mini-split cooling system. However, this should not be viewed as a luxury accommodation. The room is small, and the furnishings are low end. The louvered windows let in some air, but flow-through cooling doesn't really happen. And leaving them open removes all privacy for the bedroom, which is just inside those windows. Depending on the climate you're used to, this may be adequate. But if you struggle with sleeping under warm, humid conditions, you'll need to use the in-room cooler. This is also a joint room, meaning it has a locked common door for those who would like to share two connected rooms. But this door is far from sound-proof. This is true for the walls and ceilings as well. Unless your neighbors are very quiet, you will hear a lot of talking, walking, plumbing sounds, etc. The parking for this unit is a dirt area along a row of trees, a bit of a walk from the unit.

It was difficult at times to pull into traffic. We almost had the pool to ourselves most of the time. The pool was kept very clean.

Really nice spot on the oceanfront in Kapaa. One of the cleanest, up to date, well stocked units we’ve ever stayed at. The pictures don’t do it justice. Especially enjoyed the covered lanie overlooking the pool, and proximity to the multi use pathway for morning walks along the beach! Grocery store just across the street. Highly recommend this rental!

Very clean room with AC! Included plenty of clothes hangers, towels, and dishes. Only downside was no laundry but there is a laundromat just a 7 minute walk away. Would recommend to stay here!

Great location! No need to rent a car unless you want to sight-see. Plenty of food options and grocery if you want to cook your own. A bike rental is perfect and the bike path is amazing!!

My parents and I stayed here for 6 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean when we arrived, and the communication with the property manager was amazing. This was our first time visiting Kauai, and we think this property was a great location for getting anywhere on the island. We explored all over and this property was a great home base. The beach here is lovely to lounge and read. I cannot wait to come back!

We stayed 6 nights in Kapa'a and had a fantastic time. The rental was comfortable and had everything we could need. I especially liked the comfy outdoor loveseat on the lanai. There is a closet with beach chairs, masks, fins, and snorkel stuff which was nice. There's a washer and dryer which we also liked. There are lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the condo. We could hear the ocean at night, so nice! Since this is a ground floor unit people do walk by on their way to the beach but we didn't mind. We spent lots of time sitting outside enjoying the view and hanging out with the chickens and local birds.

The condo was perfect for our stay! Two bedrooms, fully stocked kitchen, one and a half baths including a full size washer and dryer; and great living room area with two couches and 4 barstools - plenty of room to spread out. The hosts have thought of everything -- sand toys for kids, boogie boards, pool floaties, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, cooler -- the works! We had family at a neighboring resort and it was great when other cousins wandered over to hang out and they could chat and they even watch some of the basketball tournament. Communication with the owners was easy and we had no problems -- my family next door was actually a little jealous. Thank you again, David!

The property was in a great location and steps away from the water and sand. Even saw a Monk seal right on the beach, perfect spot for watching the sunrise. Well maintained property and the kitchen had all the amenities you need to do any in house cooking. Jay was amazing to deal with and had all the information we needed in advance of our stay. Highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

Property exceeded exceptions and description on VRBO listing. Extremely clean, well maintained and updated property in a centrally located area on the east side of Kauai. All basic necessities provided - towels, linens, paper products and spices. Also included were beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels and 4 complete sets of mask/snorkel and swim fins. Property complex located directly across from grocery store and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Location also makes an easy drive to airport, beaches, hiking trails and all parts of the island. Ideal property for small family looking for a place to stay In Kauai.

We loved being so close to the beach. There were fun title pools right by the unit. The condo was adequate but very small and needs updating.

This property is so great. It’s steps from the beach, can literally hear the waves from bed. Great tv, internet, w/d and kitchen setup. Felt like a home away from home. Would love to stay here again and highly recommend staying here. Walking distance is restaurants, grocery store, and shaved ice

Staying on the east side of the island made it easy to make trips to the north and to the south. The condo was clean and communication was clear.

This unit is not only close to the main highway with large trucks starting at 4am, but also backs up to a large condo development parking lot with food delivery trucks, lots of cars, car alarms, beeping locks, etc. I only saw one comment about noise in the reviews, so maybe people are not bothered by this. The issue is that the master has single pane slat windows that do not "seal" against the noise. We used both fans and a noise machine to try to drown out the noise. The unit itself was fine, nice to have a dishwasher and balcony with table and chairs, and the bed was fine. Management was responsive. If you are sensitive to noise, this would not be a good unit for you.

This condo was in the perfect East side location just steps from the beach. The shower had great pressure, the kitchen included everything we needed and the large slider opened up to the lovely tradewind breeze.

This was our second stay. The condo and location is perfect for our needs. We have quick access to the ocean. We are within walking distance of the Safeway for any grocery needs.The condo has everything that we needed for our stay. The addition of the Keurig coffee maker was a big hit for us this time. Any questions to the owners were replied to quickly. Had a wonderful time once again.

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: This condo was perfectly located for us. It was easy to get to either the Princeville & Hanalei areas or Poipu & Waimea. There were plenty of restaurants, food trucks & grocery stores located nearby. The local shopping opportunities are great. The bed and living room furniture was comfortable. The entire condo, including the kitchen was well stocked. The condo was clean and well cared for. While there is a rock shelf in front of the grounds making it not swimmable, Lydgate Beach is a short drive and is a wonderful park and great beach with calm waters for little kids or adults who don’t appreciate waves. There is a nice pool and hot tub at the condo. The other two things I would mention are that this unit is on the second floor and there is no elevator. For anyone who has trouble with stairs, that would be an issue. There was a room air conditioner in the bedroom that kept the bedroom very comfortable. There was a big fan in the living room and you can get cross ventilation. We closed the big curtains in the day when we were out exploring and that kept the unit from overheating. A small fan in the bathroom would have been very nice as with the door shut, it gets very warm in the bathroom, even with the exhaust fan on, since there is no window in the bathroom. We would definitely stay in this condo again. Making reservations was easy and any questions we had were answered quickly.

Condo was great and was ground level corner unit right on ocean. Sheila was super helpful. Centrally located to swimming beaches and snorkeling. Perfect for family of four to stay and eat meals overlooking the ocean.

We loved our stay!!! The room is bigger than pictures show, bed was quite comfy and the bathroom very nice. While just a kitchenette of sorts, with a mini fridge/freezer, there was also a coffee pot and quite a few kitchen amenities such as a knife and cutting board, utensils and wine opener! Lots of fans and a mini split ac unit if needed, but we used the louvered window to get some nice air in the room! While not Ocean side, we were right around the corner from the ocean and the pool! The grills were great as was the ping pong room right there to have fun while we cooked our food! The location was super ideal, very central to go north or south, lots of restaurants, Starbucks and grocery nearby! Boss Frog rental was also close! We had a great week here and will definitely recommend this unit to family and friends!! Aloha!!

Location was convenient to restaurants, bike path and centrally located for traveling around island. There is no beach in front of this property but there is a great view of the ocean. Property management provided clear, ongoing information, communication. We enjoyed hiking all around the island. Recommend hiking boots in winter! Expect Mud. If it's raining north could be sunny south. Nice bike ride along the ocean for morning. Rented from Boss Frog's. Great lunch at the Fish Deli and Tiki's tacos in Kapaa. Nice dinner at Duke's.

I really enjoyed staying here. Everything was clean, good location, had all the amenities I needed, the bed was super comfortable to sleep on & really good communication from the owner. I would say for some people, what might be an issue for them, is the walls are thin, so you can hear all noise from your neighbors. But while I was there, no one stayed up really late, so it wasn't a problem for me.

Great location! So easy to venture north or south on the island! Conveniently located near grocery stores, restaurants and shopping! The condo slept all 6 of us comfortably and I heard no complaints. The A/C and 3 ceiling fans kept us cool when we needed it. I loved morning coffee on the lanai with mountains in the background! Close to the beach for sunrise and we got to see whales every morning we went out for sunrsie. The pool was clean and refreshing! Maintenence tested and checked the pool every morning, and the property was always clean and safe. He even blew the dust off our rental van with the blower when it got dusty from landscaping cleanup! Candace was easy to contact when I had questions! Booking, check in/out couldnt have been smoother! Mahalo Candace!

If it had been adults only, we would be giving a perfect review. However, we had a 1-year-old with us and no high chair was available. The indoor seating (tall barstools without backs) made it difficult to feed an infant. That’s the only criticism we have. We would totally stay here again.
