  Our stay at the Islander was great. The studio unit was small but more than adequate for two of us. Location is ideal, right next to coconut marketplace for shopping, dining, etc, and we love staying in Kapaa; can easily decide each day whether we want to go north toward Hanalei or south toward Poipu. Great views, pool and hot tub, outdoor bar. It is a third floor unit, so if stairs are a difficulty you might reconsider in favor of a lower unit. Microwave and toaster oven, coffemaker available. We shuffled things around just a bit for more counter space, careful to put it all back when we left. Our fourth visit to Kauai and clearly the best value we've found to date. Mahalo!

  Owner response: Mahalo for staying in our home away home. We are so happy you had a wonderful visit to the beautiful garden island of Kauai & enjoyed all the amenities we have a few steps away from our studio. We hope when you return you'll stay with us again! Aloha, Cindy

  Had a relaxing stay at this beautiful, clean studio hale. Enjoy coffee on the lanai and watch the sunrise, or take a short walk down to the beach. Signs say it's not a swimming beach, but is perfect to get your feet wet or sit and watch the waves. The grounds are lovely with an orchid garden and beautiful Plumeria trees. Pictures of table on lanai and room are accurate. Islander on the Beach is very quiet (not a large hotel) and has that old Hawaiian feel. There isn't a restaurant onsite but the Coconut Market Place is an easy walk and has several casual spots to eat, as well at shopping and a free hula show and farmer's market on select days. Also, the Hukilau Restaurant next door is great - need to make a reservation. Cindy was very helpful from the start and offered many suggestions of other places to eat and places to see and do. Kapaa is halfway between Poipu and Princeville, so location is a great mid-point for travel.

  We had a great 3 weeks on Kauai, based at Cindy's condo in the Waipouli/Kapaa area. The place was nice and clean, well equipped for basic cooking and the TV worked well. It is centrally located and a good spot to head north to Princeville/Hanalei area (45-60 minute drive) or south to Poipu, then west as well. Cindy is great at corresponding, answering emails promptly and with good detail. One thing: if you rent this place, don't go by the address as no one at the rental car place knows where it is - just say you are staying at Islander on the Beach and then they can provide directions. The beach is quite nice but is not really a swimming beach as there is a strong current for much of the year. There is a nice pool area with bar and communal BBQs. The only downside (it didn't matter to us) is that the unit is located on the 3rd floor so you are going up and down the stairs all day - if you have bad knees or similar this may be a factor. Overall, a good spot and we would recommend using this as our base to explore beautiful Kauai.

  The condo is just as pictured: clean and comfortable. The view, however, is BETTER than pictured; the gardens (gorgeous!), the ocean (beautiful!), the birds (so sweet). This is a great value in a very nicely-maintained complex. We stayed there two weeks and we recommend it highly.

  Owner response: Mahalo for staying in our wonderful piece of paradise! We are so happy you both enjoyed your time on the beautiful & romantic island of Kauai! We hope you'll return soon & stay with us again! Aloha!

  Stayed at this same complex 5 years ago. This studio was far superior. The views from the unit & lanai are breathtaking. Being on the top floor & end unit it is also very quiet with only the sound of the ocean. The grounds are lovely, particularly liked the orchid garden. Having a walking path along the ocean was a nice feature, along with the short walk to the Coconut Marketplace. Kapaa is ideally situated for driving to the various parts of the island. We frequently go to Maui but had forgotten out lush & green Kauai is & such beautiful beaches. Can't imagine staying anywhere else. Just don't pack a heavy suitcase. Mahalo!

  Owner response: Mahalo for your kind words! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our studio while visiting gorgeous Kauai! The Garden Island is a very special place... like no other we have visited. You described it to a tee! We hope you will return soon and stay with us again! Aloha, Cindy

  Cindy is such a great host and her unit is perfect! We did a no plans vacation and just drove from our room to each side of the island since we were centrally located. We got in a little early can Cindy let us know when the unit was ready. We also had a little issue with the door but Cindy got back to us really quick!

  Very clean & comfortable studio in a conveniently located, beautifully landscaped complex; within steps from the beach & very close to Coconut Coast Shopping Center. Staff is very friendly and helpful; hot tub & pool on site. The condo fit our needs perfectly and we appreciate how friendly and helpful the owner was. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a very nice & convenient place to stay. I can't wait to return!

  We really enjoyed our stay here and Cindy was very responsive to any questions or needs we had. It was also clean, cozy, and relaxing! The place is close to everything so it was easy to get around the island. We would definitely stay here again should we visit Kauai again!

  We just returned from our stay in the beautiful island of Kauai and this condo. It was perfect for our family. We have two young children, but are very adventurous and never spend much time in our room - we really only use our room as a place to sleep. This was the perfect place for our family to return to every night. The grounds are so beautiful and serene, and our room was so peaceful with an amazing view of palm trees and the ocean from the lanai. The unit is centrally located, which makes it a convenient place to stay on Kauai. I would recommend this unit to most travelers with only a few exceptions - the unit is on the third floor, so anyone with difficulties in using the stairs and/or if you happen to have kids that you think may climb on the lanai railing - you may want a floor unit. Cindy was great - even with a late night phone call! If I had any suggestions it would be to have a few more drinking cups in the unit and an extra set of beach towels as they were not always able to dry overnight. As far as things we especially loved during our stay: Breakfast at Ono's and the Kountry Kitchen were fabulous. Both places are unique in their own way, but the pancakes at Kountry Kitchen are enormous and every bite is filled with macadamia nuts! Yum! We loved Bubba Burgers (their onion rings are so good!) and Puka Dog (hot dogs) for yummy dinners. There are also so many fruit and vegetable markets around - we bought papayas and bananas every day. If you want a taste of the island, there is a couple that sells pork lau lau on the street across from the gas station just as you turn off the main highway to go to the light house. We stopped here a couple times, as they were delicious. Our favorite beaches were Tunnels and Anini for snorkeling and Kalapaki for stand up paddle boarding and swimming. If you can, take a boat tour of the Napali Coast with Capt. Andy's. Our crew was awesome and we saw a few young whales that have come south early as well as spinner dolphins - just know that winter is the time for bigger swells on the north and west coasts of Kauai, so if you have a tendency for sea sickness, you will want to watch the surf forecast and plan accordingly. We are lucky that we are not bothered by the movement on the boat, but our friends had a miserable time - and this was on a day with only 4' swells. Overall - a lovely vacation and we would definitely stay here again!
