Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outstanding unit! It was perfect for the two of us and very clean and well stocked. Especially loved the sharp knives in the kitchen as we made our meals much of the time! First time to Kauai and the central location was a plus to explore the entire island. There was no need to contact property management for any reason and the resort facilities were well kept. Especially enjoyed the pool, spas and beach access.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wed upon anrrival “ Out of order”sign on washing machine and puddle in bathroom, notified reMax. Thursday, water everywhere, called reMax. Facility manager notified reMax that we needed a new room.After many calls, we were given a new room but we were told we needed to get out on Sat because new guests were coming. What??? We were told “Sorry it’s a busy time (Christmas week)nothing is available. You are welcome to look on the internet and if you can find something we will reimburse you” What??? .Sunday we moved our stuff back to original condo, the beds were stripped, had to call reMax for linens. The washer still had an out of order sign on it.ReMax provided minimal support and ZERO comfort.

Central location for exploring the entire island. Great food and amenities nearby. Condo was perfect for family of five. Great sunrises right behind the resort. Would fully recommend this listing.

From the moment we got to the resort it was amazing! Pool was great and the beach didn’t disapoint. Our condo H207 was clean and had all you would need to enjoy your stay. Thanks to Candace for being so kind and available if we needed anything. Loved our stay!

This was a pleasant place to stay and had all the amenities that we needed. The beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning worked great! It's always nice to be able to do laundry and cook in a full kitchen during a longer stay. There were plenty of bathrooms in the unit which always makes life easier!

I'm so glad that we found Gemma's place. The location in Kapa'a was perfect. It was close to the airport and centrally located for most of our activities. Gemma's place was perfect: clean, well-decorated, high-end appliances, etc. We really appreciated the spacious refrigerator and washer/dryer.

Property and unit were great. Freezer was broken but we we noticed a couple days before we arrived, which was appreciated. Wasn’t a big deal for us since we were only there for 3 nights.

My family stayed here mid December, condo was very clean and check in process was easy. My kids absolutely loved the pool! We enjoyed the central location, close to many restaurants, food trucks, with a Safeway across the street. Would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to Kapaa.

We had an amazing stay! The resort pool and beach were amazing, the condo itself was perfect, and Jodi was great at communicating with us. Perfect location to go North or South to sightsee without spending hour or more in car either way. Shopping right across the street was perfect for stocking fridge with snacks!

Condo was amazing! Beautiful views, great pool and beach. Easy check-in for late night arrival too. Just a few small issues—Would appreciate knowing the door code change in advance. Some hallway construction was happening and wasn’t cleaned up in a timely manner. Doorway screens need repair, all were difficult to slide. We would definitely stay again!

The unit was perfect for our family. Nice location coming from the airport our first day. The two bedrooms, bathrooms were great for our family. Very comfortable rooms. The full kitchen was nice to have. Loved the beach location, had dinner at the Oasis onsite. It was wonderful! The concierge was very helpful as we scheduled a doors off helicopter tour. Must do - with Airborne Aviation.

The location was wonderful. The only thing we had an issue with that was fixed with in 3 minutes of reaching out to the AMAZING Nicole was an issue with the AC unit. If you stay and the thermostat is blinking or not registering double check all the sliding doors. If any are open the AC will not come on. Actually a really good safety feature we didn't know about. We located the door one of our folks had left ajar and instant cool air! The kitchen is well stocked as are the bathrooms. EASY access to the beach. :D The beds are super comphy! Parking was convenient. Everything was wonderful. If you need anything at all Nicole or Sheila are there to help. Even on Christmas day! THAT is awesome! Highly recommend a visit!

Unit is thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities guests might need. Very clean throughout. Comfortable beds, high-end appliances, in-unit washer-dryer, and charging stations for electronic devices made us feel right at home. A welcome gift basket was a very nice touch too! I only wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a great time at this rental. From the time I booked via Vebo and the promt reply from Host Gemma! The penthouse was exceptionally clean and easily accessible. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook and feel at home. The bathrooms were great for our family of four which had a nice bathtub and a very comfortable stand up shower. The sofa bed fit both my teenagers easily to sleep and better than a prior hotel chain stay. Gemma was a great host and she replied to my concerns promptly. We would definitely stay here again and loved the experience. Last note, this place is near everything you need for shopping to Costco and food places! Thanks again Gemma for a wonderful visit.

It was a beautiful condo but I made a mistake and reserved a garden unit when I thought I was getting one with a pool view, the interiors were pretty similar in the photos. My bad. The unit was extremely dark and almost depressing. It did not have a working dresser, just chests that really were not made for that purpose. The sub zero frig and freezer closed so well we had a terrible time getting them open. We were on the ground floor just around the corner from the pool and were on the end so had quiet privacy. I would stay at the resort again I just would not pick this unit due to the view of the parking lot right outside the windows. The resort is very centrally located and we liked having the shopping right across the street. Very good location.

All the reviews speak for themselves! Loved the location. Condo was very comfortable and I’m very picky. It’s got all the necessary things you need including beach chairs. Starbucks and Safeway just across the street! Wonderful experience!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The grounds were well maintained but the two bedroom suite needed drastic upgrades. There was no door handle on the second bedroom. The beds were too old, not comfortable, the carpet was very old, dirty, needed to be replaced (ceramic tile for beach accommodation would be better, the recliner and couch were broken, couldn’t open the door to the sub zero fridge without two hands, would be extremely hard for kids or 80 year olds to open. The grounds and hotel areas were lovely but the suite, it wasn’t worth the $12,000.00 Cdn for two weeks we paid for it.

We did struggle using the stove top. It didn't work well. It would continuously beep or turn off. We had to use the oven and we ate out a lot. Great views, beautiful grounds, pool, etc.

My family and I stayed in D-104 from December 1-11 to celebrate my 40th birthday (Christmas Day birthday). My husband, two daughters (ages 8 and 2), my mom, my mother in law, and father in law all stayed comfortably in this unit. We had additional family members who flew in as well, and they all stayed at this resort. We chose this condo since it was a ground unit, which is great for kids to be able to go outside. We liked how close it was to the pool, and koi pond too. We loved the pool! It’s a fun pool for kids to use. The two slides, hidden cave, and lagoon area are a plus. We loved how close it was to the beach. The condo was clean, and the kitchen was stocked well. We would definitely stay at this resort again, and would love to stay at this exact condo in the future if it is available. Kauai is a beautiful island! It might be one of my favorites out of all of them.

Family vacation. We picked the perfect place. Close to the beach complete with resident seal. The pool was great for kids and adults. Love the sand bottom beach and hot tub. Everything we needed was in the unit including toys for the beach. Great location. Walk across the road to Safeway Shave Ice Starbucks and other stores. Lots of parking available for a larger vehicle.

I searched for a place that had separate beds for my boys and something right on the beach. This place caught my eye and had both of those and extras! We ended up arriving a little earlier than expected, but Susan was very kind and let us put our luggage down while Sheila finished up a few things for our check in. Both ladies were very prompt and kind. The amenities at the facility were very nice. My boys loved the pool and we hit the spa a lot, and I enjoyed the fitness center too. The beach access was great since the reef out in front was pretty shallow even with the strong swells in December. We watched the sunrise just about every morning right on the water. I got some epic pictures! We really had a wonderful time, and the condo itself was so spacious and comfortable. It was such an awesome getaway we highly recommend!

Excellent location. I would definately stay again. Host was very communicative. The only suggestion would be to add location of trash containers to the written instructions for the renters. We found it. Stay was amazing!

The condo was perfect for our family of 5. It was very clean, beautifully decorated and located right in the center of the resort. The view overlooking the resort pools and ocean was picturesque. We watched the sunrise from the balcony every morning. The host promptly replied to our questions. The location of the resort is perfectly located - not too far to go North, not too far to go South. We highly recommend staying in this condo!!
