Close to restaurants and shops and near a small beach. Perfect for a getaway.

This condo has a great view of the sunrise and good ocean view. It is well laid out. It is convenient to the area. The only drawback is that it is fairly close to the road which can get noisy. Especially those who turn up the bass in their car stereos. The bathroom floor needed a good scrubbing especially in the corners. The rental company was great and very accommodating and I enjoyed the daily suggestions and up dates.

The listing photos are deceptive and don’t represent the sad condition of much of the old, decrepit furniture, the stretched and bunched-up wall-to-wall carpet, or the refrigerator with many rust and abrasion stains on the outside. The metal grated balcony table and uncomfortable chairs are rusted, with no towels or pads available. The ugly bare concrete floor is badly patched and discolored.The living room ottoman is completely caved in and broken. The glass coffee table is dangerous and sports several chips in the corners, at least one of which is where a previous guest reported here that he gashed himself. Out of self defense, we placed magazines on all four corners to avoid the same fate.The sliding slatted doors of the hall closet are crooked and unsightly. Both cheap bedroom side tables are badly scratched and damaged. There is no colorful bedspread as shown in the listing photos, and the bedroom ceiling fan light is missing bulbs, making the room quite dark.We were shocked by the lack of upkeep of this condo, especially given the nightly price. With its top-floor location and view, it’s obvious that the owner is milking it for every penny and is unconcerned with quality, style, or guest comfort. It’s such a privilege to own something on this precious edge of Kaua’i, and for guests like us to have the wherewithal to rent it. I hope that after seeing the photos that we’ll submit to Vacasa, the owner will be inspired to do better for their next visitors.

Pros: located directly overlooking the beach. Comfortable bed. Good quality sheets and towels. Very quiet and clean.Cons: The master bathroom is a niche in the wall of the bedroom. Shower opens directly into the room. Sink/commode combo is tiny. Barely room to turn around. Bed has huge 4 posters and nearly fill the space. Night time potty includes hitting your head.The kitchen island is too close to the sink, and the fridge door opens in the opposite direction. You have to exit the opposite end, walk around the island in order to open the fridge.The place is crying for a new coat of paint and and refresh. Don’t let this stop you. The pros outweigh the cons.

Cannot express enough how perfect this condo was. Right on the water, huge lawn for the kiddos to run on, and the views were exquisite. We saw turtles everyday, and it was close walking distance to baby beach. The condo was extremely clean, one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in, had a fully stocked kitchen to cook in, and had plenty of room for my 3 kids (8,4,1) and my husband and me. Would recommend if stopping by the store beforehand, grab coffee and shower soaps. An extra perk is there are plenty of chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, umbrellas and ice chests which was so convenient. The owner was super helpful and quick to respond. We hope to stay here again in the future.

The location was great! The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed for our stay. The bed and linens were very comfortable. Best news was that the AC in the bedroom and the separate unit in the living room WERE GREAT! We turned the units off when we left and they would cool the rooms very quickly upon our return. The balcony overlooked the water and was very nice. The unit could use another chair as we had to move one of the two dining chairs over to the desk to be able to do any work and then always scoot it back to eat. The room was very quiet and we were there on New Years Eve when there were many firecrackers.

We had a great time at the condo. Perfect for our family of four (2 kids ages 21 and 18). It was clean and spacious and the view was amazing. Also, south island location couldn’t be beat. Hope to be back someday!

First, and most importantly, DO NOT EVER RENT FROM VACASA. We rented this property through VRBO believing it was a property managed locally and advertised on VRBO. It was, instead, a VACASA managed property listed on VRBO. This resulted in 600-plus junk fees: 200in fees for VRBO, a 200-plus VACASA booking, a required 79 bond, a 67 fee that VACASA charges the guest to pay for the VRBO Listing and so on. It’s a complete rip off.You see the listing and taxes as affordable, but later, when you look at the total price, it doubles the cost from the extra and nonsensical fees. Second, while the views to the right (yes, those water scenes) are lovely, the view to the left is a busy road. This unit sits as close to the road as is possible without actually being in the road. We heard traffic night and day. This is extremely dishonest photography and marketing. Note that the listing describes it as “peaceful.” I guess if traffic noise is your sense of peaceful…Third, the unit does not have AC and is stifling without being able to allow breezes in, which of course means allowing in the traffic noise, so it’s a matter of picking your poison.We asked VACASA to move us, and they refused. VACASA is dishonest and a terrible company (read the 1000s of 1-star reviews because they don’t lie). I’m sorry for this owner because the property has some nice features, but I cannot recommend this at all given its location, the lack of AC, and the truly unscrupulous management company the owners

My husband and I stayed in this amazing oceanfront unit for two weeks. Beautifully decorated and well-appointed. We saw sunrises, sunsets, whales breaching, sea turtles in the surf, surfers, and snorkelers. Right off of the lanai! There is a delicious restaurant right next door and a shopping area an easy 1/2 mile walk or drive away. Completely relaxing and comfortable.

We loved our stay here! Every evening we watched beautiful sunsets and have coffee and watch surfers from the lanai. We also saw turtles and whales. Steps away from the ocean and prime snorkeling. We appreciated being able to use the beach equipment in the closet. Our only issue was with the air conditioning unit above the bed. The humidity was high and some nights were a bit warm - turning on the AC and would cause water to condense and drip onto the bed, so we made do.

Fantastic condo in a great location! We LOVED watching whales and turtles from the patio while sipping our coffee in the am. Also a good place for sunset happy hour, we even saw the green flash a couple of times! Condo is comfy and outfitted well. All the kitchen items you’d want plus beach chairs, etc. Beach house restaurant is wonderful and literally next door!

Wow! The pictures are accurate. The condo is in the best location with sunrise and sunset views. Amazing! The condo is well appointed. The owner has everything you need for a perfect beach day. We utilized the chairs, cooler, umbrella and snorkel gear. All was in good condition. We enjoyed watching the turtles from the back yard. We also used the binoculars to whale watch. The condo is comfortable. The beds are nice, plenty of water pressure and hot water. The condo was also quiet and allowed us to rest well after a busy day of activities. We snorkeled all over the island, but honestly the best snorkeling was in the little cove right next to the condo. There were turtles galore! Our teenage daughters also loved laying in the grass behind the condo to get some sun. It was wonderful to drink coffee every morning, watch the sunrise and listen to the waves crash. The owner provided excellent communication. He gave us tips on where to go for hikes, tours, beaches and good. He was very helpful! We would stay here again.

This place is amazing. It’s not fancy, but it’s clean and the view of the water is everything. It’s like being on a boat, watching turtles, dolphins and whales. Staying on the lowest level is special because you can watch both the sunrise and the sunset from the grass in front of the condo. Snorkeling is right around the corner and there are a number of beaches to swim at within a mile. We already booked next year!

The location is nice, right on Prince Kuhio beach and a few steps from Lawaii beach, where we saw sea turtles and a resting monk seal. The snorkeling is excellent. The view from the condo looks equally at the beach and the traffic on Lawaii road. The condo is in need of a deep cleaning and some repairs. Many things didn’t quite work right, whether it be the sensor on the coffee pot, the dull knives, the shutter track, the torn chaise lounge chair, the brittle blender lid that crumbles when you pick it up, or the temperamental airco. This being said, the owner’s Aloha is very evident whether it be in the lovely Hawaiian art displayed throughout the condo, the detailed instructions and recommendations provided, or in the communication and support we received during our stay.
