We recently stayed at this unit during our honeymoon and found the unit to be exactly as described. In particular we were really surprised at the amount of room in the unit. The resort is brand new and has a great location. There are multiple grocery stores and restaurants nearby which were very convenient. Most importantly we found Priscilla to be very helpful and professional. We even received our security deposit in the mail the day we returned home! Overall this is a no brainier great unit, perfect location and professionally managed. Simply book and enjoy!

Two Weeks in 2011

It was just right. From the moment you walk onto the property, every thing is just right. There is ample parking. The condo is beautiful and clean. The pool is gorgeous, The staff at the pool is very helpful and pool towels are available. The furnishings in the condo are beautiful, and there are included extras that make the stay even more comfortable. Lots of extra fluffy towels, sheets, and even pump soap in the bathroom areas. The kitchen is beautifully furnished and includes all the expected amenities and some extras, like salt and pepper and cookie sheets. The condo is quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed a couple of new sites on the island. Common Ground Restaurant was wonderful and we enjoyed touring their sustainable gardens. We spent a wonderful morning at the new Kauai Golf miniature golf center. Not only was it fun, it was a bit educational with a hole by hole history of the islands. The owner communications are quick and very accommodating. We will be back.

Perfect location/Perfect Condo

Guest: Tim (Indianapolis)

Returned today from a simply wonderful Kauai vacation. First, having stayed at other locations on this island, in our mind the East Coast is simply the best. Many staying on the South Coast typically miss 2 of the island gems: Hanalei and NaPali hiking. Additionally, the beaches that are easily accessible from the east side are fantastic. We loved the bike/running trail and convenient shopping as well. As far as this unit and this resort, It would be hard to find a better value. The entire resort has been very well maintained. This beach is beautiful and quiet and created many a spectacular sunrise. This unit is superior in every way; from the quality construction and features (granite countertops, solid mahogany doors) to the top of the line appliances, this is certainly a special place. The condo is well equipped with everything you need for your home away from home. We look forward to our return.

AMAZING FAMILY HOLIDAY!

We ( My husband and I and our three kids, 25, 21 and 19 ) recently had the pleasure of spending two weeks over Christmas at this beautiful condo. It had everything we wanted and needed and more. The condo was spotlessly clean as was the whole resort. We had absolutely nothing but a wonderful holiday. Priscilla was very helpful with all our questions and returned our security deposit promptly - she even was kind enough to mail back something we left accidently in the condo :) We spent about half our time at the pool, which we loved, was never too crowded and a cool design. The other days we adventured. We snorkeled at many beaches, Akini probably being the easiest to get into with out coral scratches! but we loved them all. We went tubing with Kauai Adventure at the old sugar plantation, and had a blast, Also we kayaked and then and hiked to the Secret Falls waterfall which unfortunately was a little muddy as we had a couple of days of rain prior. My husband and kids also had a great day scuba diving with SeaSport Diving while I lounged back at the pool ! We ate in about 1/2 the time having shopped at Costco the first day, and at restaurants the rest. Bobby V's right behind the resort is a tiny little place, but boy was their pasta good. Kounty Kitchen had awesome breakfasts. Weather was usually in the low 80's and we had 2 days of rain, but even that didn't last for long. I could go on and on, we loved Kauai and this was the perfect condo and location for us. We made family memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks again Priscilla!

Had a Wonderful Stay Here!!!

My husband and I stayed here in September, for 6 days, and we had a great time! The condo was beautiful, just as the pictures had shown. I wasn't too sure how a "condo" would turn out since this was our first time to stay in one. We have always stayed in hotels or suites. I was also concerned at first with the $300 deposit paid upfront. However, when we got there.. all my concerns disappeared because the place was very nice and close to everything. I would compare Priscilla's condo to a Marriott or Doubletree or any of the Hilton Honors locations. It's clean, in a nice location, and central to everything in Kauai. It has central A/C, but we hardly used it at all, because there is a nice breeze from the lanai. As already mentioned, there is a shopping center across the street, which is very convenient. We had the best dining experience across the street, at Pau Hana Bar & Grill... home of Tony's Fish & Chips, which is to die for!! Mahalo, Priscilla and Harold, for letting us rent your place. BTW, the $300 deposit was promptly returned to us in no time. We will be back for sure!!

Great property on Kauai

This was our kids first trip to Kauai and this property was a great choice. Our kids loved the pool with the slide, and the central location was helpful in getting around. Amenities were of high quality, and check-in could not have been easier. Washer/dryer in the unit was a must with our kids, and we took advantage of that situation. We at at Oasis on the property for two nights and it was truly a hidden Gem. Although the menu was limited and wine was by the glass, we loved both meals (one with, one without kids). Starbucks and Safeway are across the street, which made Paradise a bit more civilized. The property owner was a joy to deal with, and everything was as promised. We highly recommend this condo.

Great all-around!

is is a wonderful condo unit! We stayed here from 4/10 to 4/22 and thought this was the perfect place to stay. The location on the east side of the island is ideally centralized for short drives to the north, south and west sides. Having the Safeway and Foodland right across the street was so convenient—we had fresh fruit every morning for breakfast on the lanai! Since we were in Kauai for 12 days, we took an “every other day” approach to exploring the island and relaxing at the resort, so we spent about one-half of our time at the condo and resort. Everyone we dealt with at the resort was so friendly and helpful! The pool area is lovely, and has an area for the “kiddies” on one side, which makes for a more quiet area for adults on the other side. Beach access is easy, although not swimmable right in front of the resort. The condo unit itself is like new ---it is very comfortable, extremely spacious, CLEAN, and the beds are so comfortable. Priscilla is quick to respond to questions and is very accommodating. Overall, this was a 5 Star experience!

Great Stay

My husband, myself, our daughter, our son and his girlfriend stayed in this condo for 5 nights and really enjoyed ourselves. The location was very convenient. We explored the island during the day either heading north to Princeville or to the South it was never too long of a drive. Having the shopping plaza across the street made it easy to get groceries for our breakfast and lunches which we packed and took with us on our adventures. We always enjoyed returning to the condo after a day of exploring and spending time at the pool and hot tubs. We took advantage of the bbq grills located at the pool area a couple of times for making dinners. It was very nice to sit out on the balcony with some wine and family enjoying our dinner. The condo was very spacious. My son and his girlfriend had their own room and bathroom and my daughter slept on the pull out sofa. She also had the half bath off the entrance. It fit the 5 adults without feeling cramped. There were plenty of towels. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cooking utensils, and all the appliances were high end. It was nice to have the washer and dryer as we had all been traveling prior to spending time in Kauai. The landscaping was well maintained. There was also a large Koi pond. Priscilla was very helpful and accommodating. The condo was not being rented out on our departure date and we requested and were granted a later check out. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again in the future.

This is a great place to stay. The property and the unit are both very well maintained and very comfortable. The best features of the property are the pool and ocean-side location; best features of the unit are the spacious kitchen and the gear supplied by the owner (snorkels, boogie-boards, portable baby crib, cooler). We had a great time.

To begin with, Priscilla is wonderful! She took care of everything we needed; the condo was exactly as described and pictured. The grounds are immaculate, with the pools/spas crystal clear - how do they do that - no chemicals that you could smell. Priscilla’s condo is without a doubt one of the nicer condos at the resort. The furnishings are beautiful and well kept, unlike some condos we saw and the appearance is ‘brand new’. She also has a safe for your valuables and the washer and dryer are an added plus. For the first time I didn’t have to come home from our vacation and do loads of laundry. It was wonderful. As for the towels, there are plenty under both bathroom sinks and blow dryers. Not all of the condos have these added features. So be careful when viewing each of them before selecting. Our family consisted of my husband and two daughters 15, 19. They loved having their own bathroom and bedroom, and I definitely enjoyed it. The rooms are so quiet, solid wood doors that really block the sound from one room to the next, as well as, I never heard the roosters, unless the outer doors were open. It was a nice touch; after all, it is Rooster Island. After touring the island from one end to the other, this is the only resort that is conveniently located within walking distance to grocery/drug store/ and so many other stores. We have traveled extensively and by far this was our favorite vacation and the nicest condo/resort we have ever stayed at. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. We will absolutely stay here again and if you want a guaranteed wonderful vacation you will too!
