What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 972 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers love Kauai Kailani’s low‑key, oceanfront setting and central Kapaa location. Many describe waking to the sound of waves and catching spectacular sunrises just steps from their lanai, with two small but well‑kept pools, tidy grounds, and easy walkability to Safeway, coffee, shave ice, food trucks, and restaurants across the street. As a home base, it’s hard to beat: most guests found it ideal for exploring both the North and South shores, the airport is a short drive, and hosts/property managers earn frequent praise for quick, friendly communication. Units are generally clean and comfortable, with well‑stocked kitchens, in‑unit washer/dryers in many condos, and thoughtful extras like beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, and snorkel gear.

Accommodations vary by unit—from basic studios (some are lock‑off rooms with a mini‑kitchen and no sink) to updated 1–2BR condos with full kitchens and lanais. Some units have air conditioning (often in bedrooms only), while others rely on trade winds, ceiling/box fans, and louvered windows; many guests were comfortable without AC, but warm sleepers should book accordingly. Families appreciate the beach gear, easy pool access, and central path for walks and bike rides; assigned parking and elevators are available in parts of the complex, but not all units have them.

Common caveats: the beach out front is more for sunrise watching, tide‑pooling, and strolling than swimming (rocky conditions and ongoing erosion/restoration are mentioned), with great swim beaches a short drive away. Noise can be a factor in some units—road traffic on the highway side, early‑rising roosters, and occasional neighbor/courtyard sounds—so light sleepers may want earplugs or white‑noise. A few reviews note variability in furnishings, minor maintenance, or cleanliness between individually owned condos, and limited/remote parking for some units. Overall, guests rate the value, views, walkable convenience, and island‑central access very highly.

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: Overall the condos accommodations met our needs for a central place to be on the island with a full kitchen & 2 bedrooms. Just a be aware that this condo does not have AC and the laundry is about an 8 minute walk. Since the window in the master bedroom needs to be open all night you will hear ALL street traffic for most of the night, including sirens. But if you need a budget friendly place to be, especially for a 2 bedroom this is the spot.

Check in was easy and very clean place. The WiFi worked perfect and having a fridge helped a lot. The location was great and we were close to everything being on the east side. The best part was it was a 2 minute walk to the beach to sit and relax and listen to the waves. I would recommend people to stay here and I would definitely stay again.

Great location love the ocean view and sounds of the waves. Thank you! Loved our morning visitor by the parking spot - pumpkin and Ross/Safeway across street if you need any thing across street. Beds were super comfortable

It was a decent home base to explore the island. However, the unit and the property itself is basic. The front bedroom window is right by the stairs so that you hear everyone entering or leaving the building. When we arrived, it was not very clean and the towels and linens smelled as if they were washed with a quick wash only.

A fabulous place to stay. Being on the end by the sea gives a lovely sea breeze and the best views of dawn from your own balcony.

The property was in a great location for our family with small kids. Everything was described perfectly for the property itself and it was truly so helpful to already have everything you need for the beach/pool. I would not only recommend this place to other friends/family but also stay here again!

The unit was clean and the view of the ocean is what made it!! They also supplied plenty of towels for the four of us. I would say it is time to replace the beach chairs as the straps are broken on two of them. The beds were very creaky and not too comfortable and the TV was the size of a computer monitor.It was a great unit and again, the view made it!!

Wonderful stay! Very conveniently located next to Safeway, the beach, and the best shave ice on the island!

Stayed here for 7 nights in July with my husband and two young kids (ages 4 and 7 years old). Perfect location in Kapaa. Within walking distance to Safeway for groceries, shaved ice, multiple restaurants. Easy driving distance from most places on the island (about 20 min from the Lihue airport, 50 min from the northshore, 35 min from the south shore cities).Condo itself is comfortable with 1 room with a king bed and another small room with two twin beds. It has a sliding door for privacy between the room itself and the living area. Amazing location wise in terms of proximity to the ocean and to the nice pool. My kids loved swimming in the pool everyday.Pros: clean, kitchen was well equipped, dishwasher, fridge, pots, pans, etc. Nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Very basic spices and cooking oils etc. We bought everything we needed for the week to make breakfasts and lunches at Safeway. Location was ideal. Cons: no air conditioning so it was hot and humid most of the time. Can’t really leave windows open due to the rain and wind. No kid friendly tableware in the kitchen. Not that big of a deal if you’re ok with your children using glass and ceramic plates/glasses but it was nerve-wracking that they might break something. Tried to contact property manager Sheila to ask if an early check-in could be accommodated since our flight was changed and arrived at 9am instead of 1pm and I never heard back from her despite leaving a voicemail with my callback info.

Great condo! Small complex so it felt like a private beach. Met a ton of great people around us. The condo was perfect, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I will be back! Thank you for helping me have a wonderful vacation.

This property was a wonderful home base for our week-long trip. Our family of four, including two teens, spent most mornings watching the sunrise from the lanai and ended evenings playing cards there. We saved money by having breakfast in the unit, packing lunches, and grilling dinner one night. The in-unit laundry (with detergent!) was a great convenience.The property manager was friendly and quickly responded to a minor tub/shower issue.A few minor things to note: some curtains could use cleaning, and the primary bedroom door doesn’t fully close due to the bed placement. The beach isn’t swimmable (which we knew), but being just 10 steps from the sand made up for it.We loved the proximity to Safeway and restaurants, and it was easy to explore both the north and south shores. We walked the nearby path several times and appreciated the central location.While my husband was concerned about the lack of AC, the sea breeze kept us comfortable. As a ground-floor corner unit next to the beach, we occasionally heard people talking outside the bedroom window, but overall, the property was quiet and peaceful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful time here. I dont think I have ever stayed in a more well stocked vacation rental, or worked with such a kind and accomodating host. The complex was nice and quiet. The location was so convenient, with countlees restaurants and shops in easy walking distance. The fold out sofa bed was very comfortable and much larger and comfortable than most sofa beds. My 6ft teenage boys shared it with no issues. This rental is a great value!

The property is conveniently located for activities on the island. A closet & shade in the condo need repairing. The windows in the main bedroom & bath would not close all the way causing hot air to enter the rooms. I appreciated that The island contact was readily available for answers to questions. I enjoyed the use of beach chairs & snorkel equipment

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The hotel was clean and had every amenity you could think of: Dishwasher, pots & pans, stove/oven, sink with disposal, a bath and half bath, 2 bedrooms and a beautiful overlooking view of the beach. A/C flowed perfectly throughout the house (hard to find on the islands), really nice sea wall at the beach, and a temperature controlled swimming pool. Had it been for my family we wished we had this room over our own house! Otherwise, perfect walking distance from any store for anything you need; Ross, Longs Drugs, Safeway, and a couple of good restaurants.

Wonderful unit! Clean, set up was great. Good location, central on the east side. Unit owners are very nice and have great communication. Made sure we knew about the tsunami warning and even gave tips on where to go. The beach is very relaxing.

My family (2 kids 2 adults) had an amazing stay here. Beautiful home, right next to the beach. Kids had fun exploring the critters in the tide pools. It was warm in July but we were fine with the fans. The place had all the creature comforts we needed to have an amazing 8 day vacay. Fun rec room with ping pong too. Thank you!

Beautiful location right on the beach. I enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning. We had a problem with the TV and the property manager responded quickly and replaced the TV that was broken. It was a base camp for our Kauai adventures

Great communication feom start to.finish from Wendy. The condo is clean, ac is cold, the lanai over the pool is convenient with children, and in room washer/ dryer is a big help with salt water clothing. The master bed was very comfortable and would recommend when using the queen sleeper to lay it down on the ground. The overall wakable location to Starbucks, Shave Ice, a grocery, local food, the beach, and more was great with children and the central location on the island made getting around a breeze. Will be staying here in the future and recommend to everyone!

I’ve stayed at this property before. It has all basic necessities as a home. Full kitchen, living space 2 bedrooms. There’s a pool. Home is stocked up. No ac but if you open windows the natural breeze is all you need.

Very comfortable beds, great location, low key area perfect for a more chill vacation. Beach towels, toys, snorkel gear, cooler were a great addition! Would absolutely stay here again.

Great. Right on the beach as advertised. Very clean and has anything you might need during your stay. Wish I had known it wasn’t air conditioned, but there are plenty of fans and the ocean breeze is literally non stop.
Roger P.
July 2025

This was my 4th time on the property, 3rd time booking through this host, and 1st time in this particular unit. The AC was helpful to cool the room when fans and windows weren’t sufficient. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were a handful of dishes and silverware. The room seemed larger to me in person than in the images; I was very comfortable and happy with it. There is nothing like watching the sunrise on the beach right in front of the property. The location is perfect with easy access to Kapaa Town and Lihue, and being directly across the street from a grocery store, coffee shop, and restaurant. I continue to recommend this property to anyone I know traveling to Kauai and will definitely be back!

Pros-Check in/out was super easy and seamless. -Welcome basket with local goodies that was a pleasant surprise. -The cross winds at night cooled the place down and was more than comfortable. -Staff was helpful and welcoming. -Rec room on the property that can be used. -Beach supplies for family -Stainless steel and glass oven safe cooking ware. Appreciated because better for health.-Location is walkable to our favorite health store Papaya Cons-Bedroom door with the queen bed does not close and it is directly across from the bathroom so there is no privacy if you have more people staying. -Washer smelled mildewy and we had to wipe several time to clean the gunk off-Washer also smelled of strong laundry detergent. Scent was transferred to our clothes so clothes did not smell clean. I highly recommend switching to fragrance free, color free products. It is better for eczema sensitive clients and better for environment.

You can't get closer to the water. This is truly a special place to stay. Had a wonderful time for my husband's birthday. The view from the balcony is amazing. Couldn't have asked for better.

July 2025

Overall excellent property. It was clean, had everything we needed and was steps from the ocean. The location was incredibly convenient, checkin and communication were both very efficient and easy. This is a very well-managed property with insight care who clearly take pride in the property and the service they provide. I will say that the ocean breezes and fans kept us mostly okay at night in July! But, if being a little warm at night is a deal breaker for you—consider that there is no AC. Manageable for us and, we felt, a great trade off for us given the ocean-side location. Also, the 2nd bedroom is actually an extension of the sitting area with a large frosted glass pocket door (or Shoji door). This worked great for our teen and 10 year old but might not have been enough privacy for older kids/more adults. Again, overall an excellent property and stay!
Erin M.
July 2025

We took a family vacation for a week and had an excellent stay. The condo was extremely clean and well stocked. Dishwasher, washer and dryer were extremely help since we packed light. Overall condition of the property was excellent. Our kids utilized the game room and pool. Access to the ocean was also very nice. We also used the grilling area and had a wonderful time. I would definitely stay here again!
Maria S.
July 2025

We enjoyed our stay, very convenient location, there's a Safeway across the street at a shopping mall with a couple stores and a Ross store for last minute shopping. The bldg can use some TLC but, our unit was clean, we used the grill the 2 nights we stayed here and had a nice location close to the airport and the helicopter. Will highly recommend this condo, we will definitely come back. The host had great communication, parking was convenient.
Dora C.

We loved our stay at this cozy, comfortable, clean and well decorated condo. The kitchen was full of all things needed to cook. We loved being right on the water and hearing the waves rock us to sleep. Thanks for wonderful memories made!

Property was perfect for our family of 5. Had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves, loved walking down to the beach easily. The rooster noise did not bother us at all, white noise blocked it all out just fine. I am glad we brought our own beach towels for the beqch, the ones provided were perfect for the pool.

Property was ok. My room is ok except for the air conditioning is not as cold. I set my a/c into 64' and feels 78'

We loved this property. The views from the second story deck were perfect and felt very private. The constant sound of the waves was mesmerizing. The unit had everything a visitor needs, well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, privacy, convenience to north and south shore locations. We couldn't have been happier with our time at this property and would certainly stay here again.
Joseph C.
July 2025

My husband and I absolutely LOVED staying in this condo. The location was perfect. It was walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store. It was also an easy drive to any part of the island. The condo was spacious and clean. The check in/out instructions were clear and helpful. We didn't have any issues with finding parking during different times of the day. Having easy/short access to the beach was wonderful for watching sunrises and sunsets. We highly recommend staying here & we are already looking to see their 2026 availability in hopes that we can stay here again soon.

We had an amazing stay at this beachfront condo. The location couldn’t be better for our visit with family in Kapaa and we were steps from the sand with beautiful walking trails and there was a grocery store within easy walking distance. The condo was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the essentials which made it easy to cook meals. We especially appreciated the air conditioning in the bedrooms which made for a restful night’s sleep after warm beach days.

The condo was the BEST location to get to all the activities, North and South. The (2) pools were a great perk for our 14 yo son... who may actually be a fish.Well stocked with clean towels.Comfortable beds.Great water pressure with awesome shower head.Balcony in the tree is so cool! The birds were our friends.No noisy neighbors.People complained about the road noise, but it was a non issue for us.Site manager tested the pools every morning and does an amazing job at maintaining the property.Was it perfect, no. No place is. Definitely a grand slam for the price point! We LOVED it!
