This is a great condo to stay in, in a great location. The condo was clean and bright and well equipped. Bed was comfortable, air conditioning in the bedroom did the job, shower in the bathroom worked well, and the kitchen had everything you need. We appreciated that the host provided coffee and filters for the coffee machine, beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, big sunshade umbrella, and a boogie board. The apartment complex is close to a busy road but the road noise was minimal - we heard the sound of ocean more than the road - and the views are just stunning - the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s great to get up in the morning, make a coffee and go and sit out on the lanai and drink in the view along with your coffee :). The apartment is a short walk to a breakfast cafe, a brewery, the beach (tip walk up Papaloa Road to the beach by the Lava Lava Beach Club), and the Coconut Marketplace, and short drive to Kapaa. What more could you ask for?

Great place! The condo was very clean and welcoming. Terrific ocean view with the sound of the waves. The interior and deck were excellent and the unit was well stocked. You could hear a bit of traffic noise when outside, but that was expected based on the location. No other negatives. I didn't have any interaction with the host because everything was perfect. Thank you!

Perfectly average - kinda old - kinda smelly - not the greatest location on Kauai. Internet didn't work but didn't really need it. Only slept there. Kauai is amazing.

Our top 3 criteria are: ocean front, AC in the bedroom, and reasonable price. This place hit all three which is why we chose it and we were not disappointed! First floor, close to parking lot, several restaurants within a couple of blocks. Very quiet. If you’ve never been to Kauai, be sure to bring ear plugs - the roosters are all over the island and they crow all day long. We would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding location on the island for exploring north or south parts of the island. Condo was perfect for the two of us and freshly remodeled. The best part was walking out on the lanai and watching the beautiful ocean throughout our stay! From the ground level it is 15 steps to the ocean front! Highly recommended!

The condo was perfect. Very clean and had everything we needed for our week stay in Kauai. The view from the balcony of the ocean was awesome. We could see whale spouts from the view. My only drawback from a 5 star was the street noise during the night

The property was a great centrally located option for our vacation. We wanted to go to both the north and south sides of the island so this was a perfect place. The property is very spacious and was perfect for our family of 5. Everyone had their own bed, without having to use a fold out couch. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets were great as well. More than enough towels were provided. Our view from the lanai was spectacular. We would definitely stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
The drawers in the bedroom dresser stuck, the TV didn't work, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and who puts carpet in a property on the beach. And no privacy in the bedroom as there is no doybd barrier to the outside

Comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen, nice bathroom, great to have W/D, decent parking, lovely pool area, superb ocean view. Directions for TV & microwave hard to understand. Unit above us noisy (construction??). There was a frequent sewage odor that was quite strong-not sure where it was coming from. Ilse great to work with!

The condo was incredible. The place had been remodeled recently and was done so very tastefully with a ‘coastal’ theme. The king size bed was extremely comfortable making for a good night sleep after all of the adventures of the day. The owners offered a small cooler, two beach chairs, umbrella, and snorkel gear making beach day so enjoyable. The location is easily accessible to everything, Princeville or Poipu. And finally, owner communication was top notch! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or stay here again.

The location is simply awesome. It’s very conveniently located on the east shore so it makes it easy to plan to go either direction of the island. The unit itself is very well maintained and has many items that made our stay really comfortable. We never had to contact the host other than at check in and check out time since they had done such a meticulous job of including so many details. Overall the unit was really beautiful, clean and well kept and we would love to revisit again in future.

Such a great place to stay for a visit to the island! There is a nice protected swimming/snorkeling place a couple minutes away (great for anyone but especially anyone with younger children) along with lots of food choices. Getting to other parts of the island for exercusions and hiking was an easy drive. The place itself has all you need - laundry, snorkeling gear to use, and sounds of the ocean waves!

The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were nicely updated and the owners had a very thorough and detailed binder with tons of great info and pictures as well as awesome communication! The views of the beach from the lanai were great it was a bummer that the tides this time of year were too strong to swim.We loved how close it was to the cute little town and appreciated all of the little extra things they left for is to use like beach chairs, beach towels, flippers etc..the onsite manager was super nice as well and parking was easy. The only thing we were bummed about is carrying all of our heavy suitcases up 3 flights of stairs to get to the place ...not our favorite moment lol...but other than that it had a/c in both bedroom and living room which greatly helped beat the humidity outside and cabel tv and all the ammenities you would need!

We enjoyed the view and sounds of the ocean outside our back door. The property is beautiful and convenient. The unit was somewhat clean and bed was comfortable. It was quite hot in the unit with windows open. AC was required to sleep. Although the place is dated our two concerns were the dirty cabinets, baseboards, and doors where magic eraser or paint could correct this and **the constant ant issue throughout** With small ants getting into the coffee maker, on stove, bathroom countertop, even bed and you even left an ant bait station on the kitchen counter- this should be disclosed on the listing. Or you could hire professional pest control. We also own a condo on the beach and this can be managed better. Your condo could be so much more welcoming with some TLC. We did not contact because we did not want pest control during our stay.

The view from the lanai is exactly as pictured! Shayne's condo was perfection for our trip. We are mid 60's, very experienced travelers. Last minute we asked to bring our daughter and her husband - which was an additional charge. "Would it feel cramped?" Nope! We absolutely loved this condo. Every morning we'd get up to watch the sun rise over the ocean, we'd walk to the bakery or restaurant across the street. It was centrally located to all side of the island, grocery stores, beaches, adventures, had beach chairs, noodles, bamboo mats, umbrella - everything was considered to make your stay perfect! The condo was spotless inside AND outside. There was good cross breeze for keeping the condo cool (we were there beginning of December). wifi worked, TV for nightly hallmark Christmas movies worked perfectly. The kitchen had every utensil we needed to make breakfasts in the morning - including an electric kettle to boil water for tea. Coming back to this condo each evening was the perfect ending for each wonderful day in Kaua'i! We would all definitely choose to stay here next trip to Kaua'i. Thank you Shayne, you are a great host!

Reviewer Comments:
State main floor nice view of the bay however, lots of road noise and a strong sulphur smell every day we were there. Bedroom window shares the walkway for other condos and with no AC the windows are open, which makes quite a bit of noise in the bedroom and not much privacy at all.
