Awesome Vacation
This unit did not disappoint. The pictures and descriptions are on point. We highly recommend this property to stay at when visiting Kauai. Property centrally located on island(15 mins N of Lihue airport in Kapaa), so you’re within an hours drive (depending on traffic) of any attraction you might want to see or do! The unit is well maintained, well furnished and the location was excellent. We were able to sit out on the patio drinking our coffee and watching the sunrise come up over the horizon every morning! Unit came furnished with all the amenities that you would want when planning a beach day, chairs, umbrellas, bogie boards, cooler …..The resort itself is well maintained. The pool is small which is to be expected since the property was built in the early 80’s. Don let the age of the property scare you. The property management team stays on top of everything. We had a very relaxing vacation and would stay here again!

A clean and comfortable condo in a great location!
We enjoyed every bit of our stay here. The condo was exactly as pictured and very clean. The kitchen was not missing anything. We loved watching the sun rise every morning. Our kids slept on the pull-out couch. Access was super easy and we had all the gear for the beach each day. There is a place to rent bikes that is a 5-minute walk to get to so it was great to ride the bike path one morning along the coast. We walked into town a few times to get something to eat or shop. Kapa'a is pretty sleepy after 8 pm so don't go here if you are looking for nightlife, but we weren't! We wanted ease, convenience, comfort, and affordability and we got it. We very much enjoyed the hot tub at the end of our days exploring and we also played a lot of ping pong. This condo is a great location because it's the mid-point between the north and south shore, so we didn't feel like we were driving too much to get to either. If you are looking to cover as much of the island as you can, this is the spot! It was painful to leave and come back to the real world.

Stay in Kauai
My husband and I stayed in a very nice and comfortable condo in Kaapi, Kauai for 9 days. It was close to everything, very nice people and nice place where we could see the ocean (and the rain when it would "blow" in.
We would stay there again!!

Personal Review
The only complaint we have is the oven doesn't heat up fast at all and takes a while to cook anything. We weren't sure if you were aware or not. Also the cleaning instructions need to be given before the stay as we weren't aware there couldn't be any sand in the condo. We would have been more careful from the start. I swept the whole place before leaving which in my opinion the cleaning feee should have covered that. Other than that it was great. We loved the view, the location and the condo was perfect for our family of 6.

Excellent Stay!
We had an excellent vacation at this property! The location is great; kind of right in the middle for all the sights AND right on the beach. The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed, except a working cooler. The zipper did not zip closed. Not a big deal though. Definitely a good stay!!

Good not great
The location is great. The property is ok. The entire condo complex is in desperate need of an update. Think “Three’s Company”…. And the pool area is just OK…
This unit unfortunately has a very pungent smell of MOLD. But like I said, the entire complex is outdated.
I would not stay here again.

Beautiful Views, Fantastic Property
This property was exactly as listed. The view from the Lanai was just as gorgeous as the photo, and the interior was clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed to cook dinner every night, and the one time we had to reach out to the host she responded almost immediately and resolved our issue right away. The location was great - we spent plenty of time exploring the bike path and Kapa'a, but had easy access to the north and south for several day trips. Checkin and parking were both a breeze. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever fortunate enough to return to Kauai.
