My (new) husband and I had a wonderful time staying at this property for our honeymoon. The location was perfect for an adventurous couple like us, it made it easy to explore every side of the island. Our favorite part of the home was the lanai, where we enjoyed breakfast each morning while watching the ocean.We also appreciated the thoughtful resources provided, including beach chairs and a cooler, some of which were left by previous travelers. While there’s no central AC (which is typical for Kaua‘i), the individual units in the living room and bedroom kept us comfortably cool.If you're planning a longer stay, I recommend stopping by Costco or a grocery store on your way in, as we did need to restock some basic kitchen and cleaning supplies during our visit.Overall, it was a lovely stay and a perfect home base for our honeymoon adventure!

This condo is located centrally, making it easy to get to the north and south shores. We spent a lot of time on the back deck watching the ocean, surfers, and Kauai chickens. This place had everything we needed. There were a few places that didn’t seem to be cleaned when we arrived, but we easily cleaned up and enjoyed our week there. The ocean view was tranquil and made our stay so enjoyable!

The view! It was all about the top floor view. But keep in mind, you have 3 sets of steps to climb to get to the view and to bring up all the groceries and take down the trash. The unit had all the necessities one would need. It was great because we weren't spending all of our time and money at a store buying paper towels and zip lock baggies. We truly appreciated this. The swimming pool, while small, was absolutely wonderful. The landscaping around it was so beautiful. We were there on the 4th of July holiday, so there were lots of locals camping and fishing, so we didn't think the ocean was accessible for swimming. My husband even helped one local fisherman free a turtle that was caught in his line and didn't know what to do. We also hoped we could see the sunrise since being on the east shore, but we had to walk down the beach to get a glimpse. We did see a good one at Lydgate Beach Park down the road, which we loved. We went to watch surfers up in Kealia Beach and used the location to make it to west coast for the Waimea Canyon. One of the best meals all vacation came from Napali Brewing, which we walked to. The unit was nicely updated and well-equipped.

This place is an absolute gem! It's perfectly located right on the water and I absolutely loved the upgrades throughout the entire unit. My only knock on it is that there's a tree that's obstructing the entire view of the ocean but it's still a fantastic view! I would recommend staying here!

Property is as advertised. Host was accommodating. Watched surfers, kite surfers, and saw turtles right from the balcony. Beach chairs and boogie boards were a nice touch. Even though it’s on the first floor, it is completely private and secure. Couldn’t see anyone else on their lanais and no one comes back where the lanai is. Note, there are a few stairs to the unit. Not a problem for us, but could be important for someone else. Been to Kauai before and stayed in Princeville. Too congested and far from many things. In my opinion this condo is the perfect place to stay. Wailua is so quiet, easy access to beaches (which were mostly empty), and very close to shops and restaurants. Super convenient to the airport too.

When I walked in to the apartment, the first thing that I noticed was the amazing view! The apartment was beautiful, and Shayne went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was wonderful. He even included a seven page welcome letter with suggestions for activities, restaurants, etc. I would happily stay here again!

The condo was even nicer than pictured. Plenty of space, and extremely well equipped. Loved our time on the balcony enjoying the gorgeous view! Hosts were responsive and very friendly. Appreciated the very comfortable queen blow-up bed. AC in both bedroom and living room worked well and kept us cool when we needed it. Very well kept beautiful grounds. Appreciated that we were so close to beaches and the Coconut Market (great ice cream)! The location was also convenient to Kapa'a, Lihue, and Poipu, all of which we enjoyed during our stay.

Everything was as advertised- convenient location on the east side, ocean view and sound of the waves. AC in bedroom was sublime at night. Check in and out was easy, pool area and grills were great after a day of adventure. Communication with owner was prompt. Overall a relaxing and comfortable stay!

Overall, property was accurately depicted, clean and well located. The property grounds were nicely maintained and the location was very central.As noted in the property description, the air conditioning is in the bedroom only, so the living room was quite warm even with all windows open and the fans were running. Just something to be aware of.The host did not respond to some questions I posted the few days leading up to the trip, which was a bit disappointing.

Wonderful place to stay! Location was great and served as a great home base as we explored the entire island! I definitely got spoiled by the view of the beach and the sound of the waves as I cooked breakfast every morning. The place can be slightly on the warmer side at times, but just expect that and you’ll have a great time :) my wife and I will definitely come back the next time we find ourselves on the island!

We enjoyed the views and listening to the waves crash along the beach. The condo is in a great location to see the sites around Kauai and it was a short walk to a number of restaurants and stores. Our granddaughter loved the pool which is kept warm. The condo was comfortable and well equipped for our stay. We really enjoyed ourselves. Our granddaughter wants to come back every year.We opened the windows and let the trade winds keep the place cool, never needed the ac.

Property was well kept. Unit itself is nice and updated just as the listing describes. It had everything we needed as well as they have beach chairs, snorkeling gear, umbrella, and boogie board. Right on the ocean. Unit was away from the highway which made it so we had no road noise. Would definitely stay in this unit again. Has ac in the bedroom but not the main area. Description states that but the main area definitely gets warm on a nice summer day. Overall awesome unit and stay. Thank you! Picture is view from the unit.

Stayed with my husband for our anniversary trip, the place was beautiful and the location is perfect! The AC in the bedroom was a godsend and the breeze in the front room comes in wonderfully. The balcony view can’t be beat and the location is perfect for anyone wanting to easily explore all the island has to offer. Shops and restaurants are in walking distance, we are already planning to be back!

We had a simply amazing stay here in Kauai. Ilse The owner is extremely communicative and had great recommendations. The property is super clean, and appeared a brand new AC unit had been added in living space and one in the bedroom that cools the space very well if AC is a typical worry you won’t have that problem here! The apartment was well appointed with everything you would need for beach trips (a tube some boogey boards and some beach chairs, along with fully stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. Really a great location too with many restaurants within walking distance or just a short drive away. If we come back to Kauai we would certainly look into properties that she owns. The view really says it all!

My husband and I stayed in this property for about 10 days, for a much needed vacation and birthday celebration. The unit was absolutely perfect. Gorgeous finishes, fantastic location and we could hear the waves crash as we drifted to sleep. We will absolutely be back, and will recommend this spot to our friends and family! Thank you for being wonderful hosts!

This place was as advertised. Everything was like new. It was beautiful and the ocean view was awesome. We love the area. Great between North and South. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Walking distance to Coconut Market Place and the don't forget to go to the bakery across the street. Passion breads for the best Masalas! Also you can rent boogie boards in that same area cheap!

Good restaurants within walking distance. Pool was very refreshing after s long day at the beach. Would highly recommend. We had a great time.

We booked last minute (genuinely at 4pm the day we went) after a rough go at camping. The Vacasa crew worked with my short notice, made sure the place was clean, and even dropped off a welcome basket before we got there. This unit has a beautiful ocean view - we enjoyed sitting on the porch all day. Would stay here again!

The perfect beach cottage. Perfect location on the island for easy access to everything you want to do. We enjoyed the views from the lani and it had everything you needed to make your stay fun. The owners are very welcoming and Marvis is there for anything you need. A must stay place in paradise! We will be back again.

We had a great time in Kauai, and this property was wonderful for us. My only complaint is that it was extremely hot inside the unit during the day. We chose this place because it said it had AC, but it was only in the bedroom. Luckily, we located several fans throughout the unit and we weren’t there much during the day. Despite that, the location was great, and the view was breathtaking. We would definitely recommend this place to others traveling to Kauai.

We decided to go to Kauai, needing rest! This was a great place for us to get it. It was clean, located centrally, and we loved that the ocean was right in view, and so close! We were appreciative to have a stocked kitchen (except for condiments and coffee), and we used it regularly. There are some very good restaurants in the area, and a lovely farmers market a short walk away. We made good use of the pool, which was steps away from our door. The apartment is a bit on the dark side, but it's well-lit with lamps and overhead lights.

Can’t speak highly enough of this property. You get to wake up to the sound of the ocean right next to you. It’s walkable to good food options. It’s centrally located so easy to get to major sightseeing options. Comes with snorkel and swim gear which is a plus. Loved our stay here! Would highly recommend.

Good little condo right in the middle of most things. About equal time to get to Hanalei or Waimea making this a good central place for those that want to explore the island.
