Everything, and I mean everything was perfect! Check-in, communication, cleanliness, the property, all top notch. Could not ask for anything better and we plan on booking for next year. Thank you so much.
The location of this property is hard to beat! We’ve vacationed on Kauai many times and it was our first time staying in Kapaa. It is now our go to location!
The oceanfront views and the sounds of crashing waves were unexpected treats!
The condo was great! Extra bathrooms, well appointed kitchen. We even made use of the games the host had available. It was a fantastic place to stay.
Management was very responsive when we had issues with internet. Expect issues in the masterbedrm- I think issue is its location frankly. Rest of condo was fine after reboot.
Overall it was amazing! And we are already planning our next stay.
My family of 5 (3 kids under the age of 13) had a FABULOUS stay at this property. We would definitely come back. Kapa’a is a very convenient location- very close to the airport and easy to get to both the South and North side of the island. TONS of great food within walking distance (Kintaro, Napali Brewing Co, Fillo’s Kauai, Lava Lava Beach Club, Passion Bakery (malasadas)). The property itself was modern, spotless and roomy with a well stocked kitchen. Safeway, Costco and Target are not far so we were able to purchase food and do many meals at home. We watched the sunrise every morning. Beach toys for the kids are a plus. The beach outside the property is a little rough for swimming but there’s a sandbar that creates a calm enough pool for the kids to swim and even snorkel.
Check-in was a little rocky- the email only provided a gate code, not the front door code which we didn’t realize until we got there. Luckily, Ashleigh responded to our calls very quickly and provided the right code. Be sure you have BOTH codes when you get your check-in info.
Ashleigh/management were always very prompt in answering our questions, which we really appreciated!
We absolutely loved this property and will look to stay here when we return to Kauai. The beauty of the island, the kind people and the aloha spirit have captured us!
So nice staying at a small condo complex with only a handful of units. The geography at the property makes it very private without anyone from the public walking between the condo units and the water. Amazing views and turtles feeding at the beach right outside tge unit just 20 yards away. Plenty of space in the condo with everything you might need during your stay.
Quiet and comfortable. This property is in a good location close to coconut marketplace where you can grab food and treats. Lovely ground floor walk out with easy access to pool. This unit worked great for our family of 5.
The condo was renovated recently and is a absolutely stunning. The views are incredible and the owners thought of everything! We loved how quiet the property is and the pool/beach were basically private. Loved our stay here!!!

We had an excellent time. The sound of the ocean, the beautiful sunrises and views, the closeness of the property (easy walking distance) to fine restaurants,shopping, groceries, and other amenities, all make it an ideal location on the island.
Outstanding property with sliding doors that open fully to ocean/Beach. What a fabulous first impression. Beautiful location. Wonderful sliding screens to close at night for privacy.
There is a step down (one step) from entry into living area.
We stayed here last year as well and decided to return for the location, peacefulness, and the niceness of the property. The condo itself is wonderful- beautiful bathrooms, well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, fun family games to play, and a great little library. Outside, the beach is right there, the pool is clean and readily accessible, and there are plenty of chairs, toys, tents, etc. to take to the beach in the closet. We loved this location since Kauai was rainy at times and we ended up chasing the sun from north to south, east to west. Everything is within an easy distance.

Had a delightful week. Beautifully furnished well laid out home with an ideal location. Really well-provisioned kitchen. Incredible ocean views, steps down to a fantastic beach, sea turtles each afternoon. Can't wait to return!
Absolutely gorgeous view, ocean breeze and secluded beach access. Pool was wonderful and clean (serviced daily). We cannot imagine staying anywhere else while visiting our favorite place. Loved being on the ground floor. Nice grass for the kids to play and hunt lizards. Unit had a bunch of beach stuff available which was a nice surprise.
My best memory will always be the sea turtles diving in the surf right outside our patio each late afternoon.
The condo is absolutely beautiful and well located. The pool is warm and delightful. The ocean in front of the condo is a bit rough with a lot of rocks. We walked down the beach a bit to get in. There are beach chairs in the storage closet off the patio - we didn’t realize that until our last night 😕. The WiFi can be a bit sketchy. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
The condo was absolutely beautiful, and the views and location were gorgeous. We saw the sea turtles in the surf eating algae off the rocks. We also saw many whales spouting and breaching in the distance. Having a well equipped kitchen gave us the option of cooking several of our meals with the view of the water. It was a short walk to a wonderful shopping area. My sons enjoyed the sunrise from the sleeper sofa. A wonderful family bakery is just across the street.
Very clean condo with exceptional views of the eastern coastline. Every morning we woke up to gorgeous views of the sunrise right from the comfort of the condo patio. Beach access was literally steps from the condo patio. Small beachfront directly down from the condo grounds allowed us to swim in relatively quiet surroundings.
Pool was clean and the grass landing by the pool made for a lovely area to read a book during the day.
Kitchen & condo was stocked with everything we needed for the week.
We would definitely stay in this condo again.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
A very nice location and condo, but we had problems. First it advertises that it includes a Sonos sound system. My kids like to listen to music and none of us could get it to work. The 'support' never helped us with this despite multiple messages. The internet was spotty and dropped regularly. The grill did not work two of the three nights I purchased food for grilling and again the 'support' said 'this is the responsibility of the outside maintenance'. Last I asked where to take our trash and it took three days to get a reply. Too bad when you spend this kind of money you want to not have these kinds of problems.
This was a great experience for us. The condo was spacious, beautiful, and well stocked with supplies. We also really appreciated the ‘East Shore’ location that put us in good proximity to all of the island’s many beaches. The condo pool was also quite nice and we really liked that the number of rentals was so small since it gave you a chance to get to know other families and compare notes. At night, the view of the rising moon and stars was incomparable. The condo itself overlooks a small cove that has public access so people do come and fish there in the early evening but it is very peaceful in the mornings. To walk to the other parts of the small bay, you do have to scramble over some logs. Overall, this was a great place to stay and we will definitely be back.
