This property is very clean and has all of the amenities you’d need for your stay. Kevin was great with communication and includes a welcome packet with tons of useful information. The condo even has boogie boards and snorkel gear to use. The listing is sort of misleading, you can’t see a sunrise or sunset from the room, but you do have a nice ocean view. When you arrive, you have to fill out a check in form in the office, no one was in there at the time so it was a little confusing.

Everything was easy going. Not a lot of bells whistles, but it was all we needed. We enjoyed the amount of space, and the close proximity to the pool! Our only complaint was that the bathroom fan did not work, which caused it to be really muggy.

This was just as described. We agree with the other reviews. It was perfect. We loved the lanai and watching wing surfers. We walked the beach, and appreciated the host us giving us tips on how to purchase breakfast from Passion Bakery across the street.
They thought of everything and gave us a nice gift. I do want to order a robe for myself like the one that we were able to use. I think it would be great for hot springs we sometimes visit.
This was at the beginning of a trip to Hawaii for a wedding on Oahu, where we met our daughter and son-in-law. We ordered a visit at this place for them when we flew home with our granddaughter, so that they could have some time to themselves at the end of our Oahu visit. They loved it, as well.

Overall a nice place. Calm and a private balcony view. Pool was also calm during our stay. AC was a small floor unit, so a little louder than wall units ones. Small commercial area at 2-3 minutes walk, but overall quiet area. The beach near our wailua bat view was a little windy and with lots of waves, so it was beautiful but not the best one to enjoy beach sport/activities/swimming and snorkeling.

We have stayed at this property nine times and this condo complex is the reason we come back. It is a great location and provides with an option to go 45-50 minutes to either end of the island. The pool is amazing for leisurely wading and the BBQ’s are new and fantastic. The condo could invest in plastic plates, BBQ tongs and a couple more glasses (2 provided) for the BBQ area as glass is not permitted obviously. The condo could also use Tupperware containers which we ended up purchasing and leaving for future guests and an umbrella for the beach. Would be nice. We bought one and gifted it to someone at the end of our stay. The only other negative were the sheets which would not stay on the bed as the elastics were shot, though the bed was nice and firm. We spoke with Shayne and he suggested using the other set which were nearly as bad and didn’t sleep through a single night without the sheets coming off the corners. The positives are that the condo gets a great through breeze and the AC in the bedroom is outstanding. The kitchen is stocked with adequate pots and pans along with dinnerware and utensils. The bathroom shower, decent towels and two sinks is convenient. The barstools and table on the lanai are outstanding with the oceanfront view but one stool was damaged at the time of arrival leaving three chairs which was fine as we were two people for the majority of our three plus week stay. Shayne was easy to deal with and we would consider his condo in the future.

Beautiful view on a nice uncrowned beach. You can hear the waves steadily crashing in since it’s so close. The place is nicely updated and clean. AC in the bedroom but the rest of it doesn’t have it, so be prepared to use the fans since it’s fairly warm and humid. Overall a great stay and would highly recommend.

What I loved about this apartment is the ocean view and the privacy. From our balconey, we never saw another soul, so it felt like our own, romantic hideaway. It is within walking distance to several good restauarants, and Kapa'a itself is central to many island adventures. There is an air conditioner in the bedroom, but we did not need to use it as the ocean breeze also keeps things cool. The kitchen is well equipped, and I really appreciated the washer and dryer unit in the apartment. Overall, I felt that the listing was accurate, and I was very satisfied.

We had the best time staying at this rental. The location is perfect and not too far to do day drives to the north or south part of the island and is walking distance to a shopping/restaurant area plus the beach! The rental included some beach supplies which were much appreciated! The AC in the bedroom was perfect with the high humidity and heat so we got a comfy nights rest each night. Highly recommend!

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. The hosts were responsive to inquiries and quick to share excursion suggestions. The unit was clean and the lanai had a great oceanfront view; really relaxing to hear the waves crashing on shore. It was also private from other units. The only negative was a biggie - no central A/C, so it got unbearably hot and humid in the living space and the bathroom, even with a few fans going on high (my wife got heat rash). We did stay in July during a hot stretch. The bedroom was cooler because of the individual A/C unit, but it was very noisy. The pool was a great reprieve from the heat and usually not too packed (no hot tub). Also, snorkeling gear was provided but only one of the three sets didn't allow water to seep in. Hiking sticks were provided that were very helpful. In-unit washer/dryer was nice, and detergent was provided. Coffee too, in a nicely renovated kitchen. Only downside of the stay was the heat; we would avoid during the summer but consider again the rest of the year.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed listening to the waves from the living room and kitchen during our stay. The condo has a great location which made it easy to get around the island! We both slept well and found the bed to be comfortable. The air conditioning in the bedroom worked well, and the room had doubled pained windows which we left closed, so we didn’t hear any road noise reported in earlier reviews. The waves can be heard as soon as the bedroom door is opened. The property manager on site was very nice and helpful. We felt at home.

I have stayed at Wailua Bay View several times and it’s one of my favorite places. We found the condo to be clean and neat.

Lisa is always very responsive and cooperative with any questions or minor issues. We will definitely be back soon. Aloha…😎🐠

This is an excellent property in a great location. The property has a wonderful pool and a well laid out BBQ area. It was very easy to get to from the airport - about 15 min. Check in was very easy. The general property manager, Mark, was very helpful. His number and card are in the check in office.
The view from the balcony was the first thing we saw as we came in the unit. Overall, the unit was exactly as described and very well equipped. It was also conveniently located to walk to a nearby ocean front restaurant and a touristy market. All points on the island were no more than an hr away.
We had a problem with our door lock. Ilse responded to our note within minutes, and provided a solution. She even dropped by the next morning to make sure all was in order. Wonderful support and service.

This is a nice rental for a home base on Kauai. Plenty of room for two and probably a couple of kids if they had a pull out. For the price it was a good value and had everything we needed for our visit and so much more we never used, as they supplied coffee maker, full kitchen, towels (I did return one I took by mistake, sorry about that!), extra pillows, outdoor playing equipment like snorkels and boogie board, cooler. Until you visit any island in Hawaii you don't understand homes, especially rentals there are not always brand new and the salt air is super hard on any structure and surface and its starting to show a bit here but they do keep it up fairly well. I would have to agree the decor and some finishes are a bit dated and showing some age now but that's alot of Hawaii homes, and didn't distract us. We always had a comfortable return from each day with a rest on the lani to watch turtles swim below and hear those crashing ocean waves, which fully drowns out any road noise btw. This unit is on the end of the property and the since its summer you cannot really get the sunrise/sunset but we were shaded all day. We did have an upstairs neighbor which must have had a bouncing bowling ball for a child and really our only negative here. We just sat outside and enjoyed the view if it got to be to much. The management was extremely responsive and onsite property manager super helpful and very nice. Mahalo for having us and until we meet again! Aloha!

We’ve stayed at several places on the east coast of Kauai and this condo is, without a doubt, our absolute favorite. The location is perfect - convenient to both Lihue and Kapaa. It is located high on a bluff with stunning views of Wailua Bay. The view is absolutely stunning. The condo is clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished. It is a first floor unit steps from the pool. The grounds are incredibly well maintained and the property is very quiet at night. We had excellent communication with the owners. This is a gem of a place.

Perfectly located in the middle of the island for easy driving to all points of interest. Perfect for 2 people with the a/c in the bedroom. Nice and cool at night. Good breeze through the condo during the day with the windows and back door open. Nice decor and plenty of towels, beach accessories etc. Easy access to the beach and a little bistro across the street. Coconut marketplace is within a short walk also. We had breakfast on the lanai watching wind surfers and played cards there at night listening to the ocean. Great stay, We definitely recommend and will stay there again.

When we first walked in the unit, the view of the ocean was incredible.

The view was beautiful! The apartment has everything you need plus beach gear. However, it is pretty warm in general due to lack of breeze even with patio doors open. There is a nice AC unit in the bedroom that keeps you cool at night. Grills are in pretty rough shape and I only got one of them to turn on. The pool is beautiful but in the back of the building so no ocean views. Beach is also nice but not maintained, lots of driftwood. The old coco palms resort is nearby and very abandoned/run down. Overall happy with our stay but next time will probably spend a little more on something a little further north. Staff was amazing and on the ball.

Other than that, we enjoyed the stay a lot and would definitely recommend the place to others. Priced very fairly, in my opinion.

We loved everything about this condo except for the heat. The listing is correct that there is an AC unit in the bedroom only.

But, we loved it so much that we'd probably stay again if we ever get the chance. Thank you!

This place definitely deserves all the five star reviews!
Inside: tastefully decorated living room and bedroom; super comfortable bed and bed linens; great couch for relaxing; tons of small aesthetic touches that made this unit feel both homey and stylish; every kitchen gadget and beach supply you could possibly need; and a clean walk-in shower with good pressure.
Outside: the lanai is perfect, gorgeous view of the water hitting the beach, comfortable chairs, private and so comfortable to sit and watch sunrises and surfers; excellent pool area, with both shade and sun and an adorable tile motif; IMMACULATELY kept grounds - not a speck of dirt, even on sidewalks with beautiful, meticulous landscaping; the only downside is proximity to the highway and resulting car noise but that’s only noticeable in bed bedroom without the a/c on.
Hosts: Teri was friendly, super responsive, and provided great advice about local spots to eat and hang out!
My husband and I are already conspiring about when we can come back to stay again!

Ocean facing 2nd floor unit was perfect for our stay. Refreshing sea breezes flow right through the place, making lounging and sleeping quite comfortable. Never even considered using the bedroom A/C unit. Would happily return to this spot. Even the roosters here were respectfully quieter than elsewhere on the island ;). On site manager was friendly and helpful. Let me know if Mark ever needs a fill-in or replacement - would be a great retirement gig :)

We stayed here for about 5 days in May and absolutely loved it. Prior to our arrival, the host was very communicative. Location was easy to find and the check in process was smooth. The unit itself is spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved waking up every morning to the beautiful view and enjoyed having breakfast & coffee outside overlooking the water. The location can’t be beat either- close to several good restaurants and shops, the airport, and all the activities/places we wanted to explore. Would definitely consider staying here again next time we’re on the island.
June 2023
Centralized location to all parts of the island. The filtered water in the fridge a very nice touch to help save on drinking water. Across the street is Passion Bakery which has first rate coffee, breakfast and malasadas. On-site property manager very helpful. The bedroom only has fans and no direct AC. However there was a fan that you can move around. Bed is very comfortable. Wi-Fi/TV/Cable a little hit and miss but eventually gets there. Linens, towels and beach accessories provided including beach towels. Ocean view wonderful. Property outdated and yet everything in good working except for screen door.

The property was fantastic. Our stay was for 8 nights during the first week of June, 2023. The views were amazing, it was hard to leave the lanai! The pool was very clean made great friends with the pool manager, James. We had the pool to ourselves most of the time. We saw the turtles every morning and evening down at the beach. There was even a sea lion that ventured up onto the beach for some sun. The only downside was there was not easy walking access to one of the beaches from the condo. The beach that was accessible had a great “ocean stream” for little ones to play in. We were able to do a little snorkeling at the beach by the condo but the waves were pretty big during our stay, but still had fun in the waves. We cooked dinner every night in the amazing kitchen and ate as a family outside. Both rooms were very comfortable. The hide a bed could use a different mattress, but it does have an amazing view.
The condo was in a great location to call home for 8 days. We spent one our days up at tunnels beach and also ventured the other direction to Polihale on another day. I would say that the condo is right in the middle. We have never been to Kauai before this trip. Do your research and make reservations for the parks if needed. We rented a 4 Wheel drive just in case and we did need it going to Polihale and to one of the waterfall trails. I could go on and on about our time in Kauai…. Definitely would stay here again if available. We will be back!

Was there for 6 days, the apt had everything we needed. Really well equipped. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Loved the brand new washer and dryer, very useful. The only drawback at the time was traffic across the road. Just took us a little longer to get where we wanted to go. We appreciated to be on beach, being so close was quite nice. Did not swim there because the waves were a little too strong for our taste, went to Kalapaki Beach instead. If you like pastries, there is a good bakery just across the street from the apt. Also we had Mark, one one our neighbours who was very helpful. All and all, would love to go back. Thank you Kevin, you got a great place!

My only recommendation would be to replace the very old showerhead. A thirty-dollar fix for a chorded high-pressure shower head would be welcomed after a long day of sun and fun. I am hoping to return for another visit! Thank you!

We stayed a week midMay and feel grateful to have found such a great location for such a reasonable price! The decor has a nice island feel and there is good attention to a lot of details. The kitchen and washer/dryer were great. We did not use the AC, which they request you not set lower than 75 degrees, so I am not sure how good that is. The jalousie windows on the door are broken and a sign says the parts are on order -being able to open those will have a big positive impact for not using AC. There is street noise in the bedroom, which wearing earplugs took care of. The refridgerator noise in the main area, may be an issue for people sleeping in the living room. he road construction appears complete, but there was still significant traffic backup on the main road to plan around. The owner Lisa responded to questions quickly prior to our travel and the resident manager is friendly and helpful. The pool area is very pretty and has grills available. Would have liked to have boogie boards and umbrella as mentioned in earlier reviews, but appreciated the float noodles, cooler and 2 Tommy Bahama chairs. Renting bikes in Kapa'a was great for an ocean view ride and the Lydgate Farms chocolate tour is not far. The owner provides the 2019 The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook: Kauai Revealed, which was essential for our stay, and there is a 2022 version available or you can get an app.

Perfect Escape from the AZ heat. A retreat on the beach, that felt comfortable and like, ‘home,’ with the pleasant accommodations, comfortable bedding, and kind grounds keepers. I look forward to staying here again!

Perfect spot to stay on the island because it’s midpoint to Waimea canyon to the west and midpoint to Hanalei to the north.

Great location, perfect for exploring the island. Relaxing on the lanai and overlooking the ocean was great option when a couple days of rain prevented other beach activities. Price was unbeatable. Would definitely stay here again.

Located RIGHT ON the ocean! We listened to the waves all day, every day. It was absolutely gorgeous! This condo is centrally located on the island, allowing you to easily travel north to Princeville and Hanalei Bay as well as south to Poipu for sunsets and turtles. Would come back tomorrow if I could!
Host was wonderful to work with. Condo is stocked with everything you need. This place lacks nothing!

We loved our entire stay. The views were amazing. It was so tranquil and quiet. All the chicken added to the charm.
35 steps to the property door was a bit too much to climb each time you entered the condo. Wished the unit had an elevator.
The condo itself was very spacious, nicely furnished and with a fully equipped kitchen, The bed was very comfortable.

Our stay at Wailua Bay View was a wonderful one! As others have mentioned, the unit itself is as pictured in the listing — simply decorated and stocked, but extremely easy to recommend for its privacy, location (many great eateries within easy walking distance and condo is centrally situated to all island attractions), closeness to the ocean for watching and listening to the crashing of the waves, and its ease of use (ample parking, keyless entry, eg).
The unit and condominium complex are both really just geared toward adults — small, very quiet, minimal grassy area oceanfront, no beach, and strict pool rules. These are all things that we found to be fine, but wouldn’t be what we’d recommend to friends or family members with children.
Although we liked the simplicity of the decor, our stay would have been nicer had there been: (1) a newer couch (the current one is covered with a protector which slips around/ is messy), (2) another towel rack & clothes hook, plus new bath mat and shower curtain in bathroom, and (3) a new, complete set of kitchen flatware, and (4) newer/more comfortable lanai furniture.
The owners have nicely stocked the unit with a couple rain umbrellas, beach towels and other beach necessities, extra bed pillows, basic kitchen utensils — all appreciated. We felt the newer ceiling fans and free standing fan in living room were perfect for keeping the condo comfortable.
The property manager, Mark, was such a great ambassador for Wailua Bay! He greeted us upon our arrival and obviously took pride in keeping the exterior of the complex and grounds in tip-top shape. He was a lovely, welcoming, and friendly resident manager. We never heard from the owners during our stay, but we never had a need to contact them with any problems, either.
We can easily recommend this unit and property to any individual or couple looking for a modest, clean, quiet, direct ocean-front Kauai accommodation!

Everything about this VRBO was stellar! It was clean, had everything we needed for cooking, had super comfy furniture, had access to a clean pool, was quiet, RIGHT by the beach, and had all the beach essentials available to use! This was a great location to access both the north and south side of the island, which was fun for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

The washroom could have been cleaned better. Hair around toilet seat and in shower. The appliances should be updated. Great location with beautiful views as well as close to amenities. Also the extras were a step above. Eg. snorkels and beach equipment. Great having AC for the bedroom. Would recommend to a friend.

This condo was the best equipped VRBO I have stayed in. It had absolutely everything. The beach stuff was great, the welcome basket of snacks were appreciated. We spent many hours on the balcony watching the fishermen and the chickens! I will definitely recommend this place. Mahalo!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The view and condo are beautiful. The location is centrally located on the island, making it easy to get to either the north or south shore. There's a bakery across the street for a quick breakfast run, and it's really close to Kapaa Town. Overall, would recommend.
