Perfect condo for our trip, nestled slightly out of town which turned out to be a blessing due to traffic in Kapaa. The condo has everything we needed, including beach chairs, umbrella, and coolers. Freezer is loaded with ice and ice packs for the cooler as well. Very clean. The outdoor patio is great for meals and cocktails.
Wasnât the worst but definitely could use some improvements. Mostly cleanliness: furniture dated and stained, mouldy coffee grounds left inside coffee maker in cupboard, lanai dingy!
This rental property has amazing potential! The location is central to all the things, the pools are well kept and the beach within walking distance was a great perk and we enjoyed watching many sunrises from there. However, having a leak in the ceiling and the water falling on the mattress that our kids were sleeping on and having absolutely no help from the manager on remedying the wet mattress was less than ideal. The kitchen faucet had no hot water bc itâs broken. The kitchen knives needed replacing a long time ago. There were jagged edges to them that looked like if used metal pieces would end up in your food. Lots and lots of dust everywhere. Pest control came mid vacation to spray. The screen doors were difficult to open. A pantry that smelled like rotten potatoes inside of which a broken blender could be found. The front door had no deadbolt so our little ones could open the door and venture outside at any time. Our only fix was placing a barstool in front of the door to give us time to react. I think thatâs important for families with littles ones to be aware of. The WiFi also kept going out. This place really could be such a great place to stay but it needs these problems to be addressed.
Of course, the beauty is all around, but this is a peaceful bit of the island with all the conveniences nearby. Itâs off one of the main two lane highways so if youâre staying close to the entrance onto the property, you hear traffic throughout the day. Other than that, walk to the back side and you have the ocean and beautiful views, and. Only the sound of the crashing waves.
The grounds are simple but beautifully landscaped and the groundskeeper(?) does a wonderful job every morning keeping things looking fresh and clean!
I would have preferred an ocean view, as I thought I had read in the description when I booked, but luckily, it was a short little walk and we didnât stay indoors much.
Iâd definitely return. Also, I would recommend posting inside the rental, instructions on how to use the television (we could not get the cable channels or remote to work), and maybe a list of local things to do and how to get transportation if youâre without a vehicle. We also noticed many places closed early.
My mother liked it and thatâs a plus since she like to be spoiled by the amenities of a nice hotel.
Thank you for the experienceâŠ.

The condo was exactly as showed in pictures. I was worried on the reviews about the AC not cooling the condo. The AC cooled the condo as cool as you choose. Kapaa is the perfect location to tour the island. I was impressed with the contact from management on any questions or concerns I had. I give the condo a 5 star rating, the beach a 3 star.
This unit is a great place to stay. Check in was easy. Communication with host was great. It was a great price for our 7 day vacation. Stores (Safeway, Starbucks, Panda, Kenjiâs, and more) close by that you can walk. Very convenient. Downtown Kapaâa is just a few minutes drive where you can get souvenirs and good eats. Oh and did I mention that the beach is just a few steps away? Yes, beautiful beach area where the kiddos can swim and not be bothered by rough waves. Another plus is the swimming pool just outside the patio area. Easy access. Overall comfortable stay. Had everything we needed. Thank you.
Our kids first time here - we love coming to Kauaâi and staying on Kapaâa was very convenient. Our condo was perfect location - ground floor next to the pool was awesome for the kids also a plus. Easy check in and communication
Thank you
We could not take showers and waited for the plumber the next day. Wasted about 12 hours.
This is our first time in Kauai and it surely did not start right. The plumbing issue should have been resolved before check-in.
Definitely will not stay here again. Thank you!
Our unit was a pleasant and clean to stay in. We enjoyed the location being central to either the North end adventures or the East end adventures and all in between. Grocery store and ABC store close and many restaurants to pick from. Would recommend and would definitely return. Mahalo
The condo was clean & exactly as advertised. We loved the location because it was only a 30-40 minute travel time anywhere we went and we went to all sides of the island (west was a bit further). Kapaa had all the conveniences we needed and was within walking distance to most. The complex was quiet and had a local feel which we love. It is not your typical touristy resort experience if that's what you are wanting. The owner had beach chairs and a cooler we could use which made it so nice when going to the beach. The Air Conditioner worked well - granted, we were there when Kauai had all the rain which is very unusual I hear. We did a lot of cooking at the condo and we missed not having a grill to use. We would stay here again!
We had a great time. The property is well kept. Very simple and understandable instructions for checking in and out. Communication with management was awesome. Neighbors were very sweet. 10 out of 10
Property was clean and nice as expected. Dryer for Laundry vents inside which makes it unusable especially when the air conditioner isnât working. Property management was made aware of problem and advised us that due to labor shortages it couldnât be looked at in the week we were there. They communicated clearly although it took one call and an email to get the reply 36 hours later but it was the weekend and Labor Day weekend to boot so that makes sense. I was refunded 3 percent of the booking cost for the ac being out which I did not request and gratefully accepted ( although 3 percent seems like a relatively small refund percentage wise for a major feature not working). We did have some very nice neighbors that loaned us more fans. The turn in is off a very busy street but Safeway and other helpful shopping is super close. The beach you directly have access to is scenic but rocky best to swim elsewhere. Overall a good stay but I would book elsewhere next time.
Great property, beach is very close, Safeway is right across the street, and pool is right out the back door. Would be great for a single family or couple. A tad tight for our family of four and grandma and grandpa, but still ok. My MIL wasnât happy to find out the A/C is only in the living room. The bedroom farthest from the living room was hard to cool down. We would still stay here again though!
The unit was in good condition and, in general, fit the needs of 5 adults. It really does not have adequate room to seat 6 adults. Improvements would include some specific information on how to contact a living human being with any questions and concerns and some type of written instructions on how to use the TV,
