Wendy and Brad,Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us! What a magical place Kauai is. I cannot wait to go back next year. Thank you for being so helpful during my trip planning process. I got a great deal on my rental car and loved your food suggestions. The condo was comfortable, well stocked, clean and everything we could have asked for with a bonus of a fantastic location on the island.Thank you again!

We planned a last minute get away and Brad and Wendy were super in helping us find our home away from home in Kauai. Unit 115 was spotless, convenient, and welcoming. The extras of a cooler, beach chairs and boogie boards were very helpful. We relaxed and rested and will come back again soon, I'm sure. Thank you Kellers!

We all really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and well equipped. We also enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, and outdoor grill. The location is very close to Smith's luau and some good hikes, and central to excursions to Hanalei as well as Poipu. We'll go back!

If in doubt, rent this place. We stayed in suite 160 and it was wonderful. The ocean is only yards away, the people are extraordinarily helpful and friendly. There are far too many wonderful sights to see in addition to wanting to spend time on the beach, in the water snorkeling observing every color imaginable in the fish which swimn by. There are a host of wonderful restaurants serving a delightful variety, and yet the simplicity of breakfast on the lanai with fresh fruit purchased from a roadside stand watching and listening to the waves break on the beach is awesome. We will be back, and special thanks to the Krellers for a perfect destination.

Our stay in the Kauai was absolutely wonderful, and Krellers condo #115 was just right for our family vacation. The Krellers were extremely accommodating and helpful in our preparation to come to Kauai. They even helped us find a great deal on a car rental. The condo was in a central location, close to a lot of great stores, and made it easy to explore the entire island. In the condo there was a guest book and a blue travel guide were extremely helpful in finding the best places to go. Some of our favorite places were Kipu Falls, Kealia Beach for Boogie Boarding, the Java Hut for smoothies, and Salt Pond beach (it’s a great beach for little kids).

We totally enjoyed the beauty, peacefulness, cleanliness and the features of unit 160. We have stayed in 1 or 2 BR appts in the past, and weren't sure how a studio would work for us. We were pleased that the space worked very well. We had several meals created by grilling at the Weber grills, located by the pool. The kitchenette had very adequate refrigeration space and worked well to prepare salads and vegies for our meals. We also enjoyed several great bagel, toast, cereal and assorted breakfasts, watching the sun rise from our lanai. The Islander Resort provides a beautiful, tranquil setting and a very usable sunbathing, snorkling and swimming beach. A rare combination. Shopping is a short walk away, yet we felt so relaxed in the privacy of this tranquil garden setting. We could not have asked for a more pleasant vacation.

Every morning we sat under our tree on the beach to watch the sunrise. The room is lovely and has all the right stuff. If you have four people, you'd best like one another a lot. It's a great place from which to access the whole island. We went from to Waimea Canyon to the Napali Coast, and nearby to kayak the Wailua River. Aloha and thank you!

Stayed in unit # 160 from 12/08/09 - 12/18/09.Unit was perfect as we were on a tight budget vacation.Clean and comfortable and the kitchenette was perfect for us as most of our meals were prepared by the poolside barbeque.Great east shore location made the touring easy as it is situated about halfway in between the northern and southern sights.Free Wi-Fi in lobby was nice ( just have your own computer)Grocery shopping for all your needs very close.Jacuzzi in the evening was awesome after a full day of activities.Very nice looking grounds and very peaceful and quiet.The tourbook on the coffee table was very helpfull and the snorkel gear came in handy as well.So nice to wake up in the morning and walk out of lanai to the beach and watch sunrise.Thanks Brad and Wendy for everything.

Beautiful place to spend your time while on Kauai. It's an amazing view of the ocean to have a cup of coffee to in the morning or toast wine to in the evenings. Loved grilling out by the beach pool. Then hit the hot tub for a little relaxation at the end of the day. I will definately be back on my next visit to Kauai.

This condo was a wonderful place to spend our week in Kauai. The unit was cool, clean, and well-equipped with a small kitchenette and beach gear. The price was very reasonable and the location is outstanding. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay, especially for first-timers visiting Kauai.

We have just returned from a great week in unit 160. We arrived late at night after a long flight to find a very clean room and a comfortable bed.The bathroom was also spotless with and very large.We were travelling with 3 other couples and we had the best unit without a doubt. The extras supplied by the Krellers were very much appreciated(beach chairs,towels and mats,cooler and snorkle gear). Unit 160 is on the ground floor which we really enjoyed as it was easy to come and go as opposed to having to go up and down stairs everytime we went out. The view of the ocean is excellent from the lanai and perfect for the morning sunrise.The Hawaiian music cd's provided were also a nice touch. The Islander is situated perfectly on the Island. We didn't have the best weather during our trip but it didn't really matter as we were only 30 minutes from either end of the Island. We would check with the activity desk and ask where the sun was shining and off we would go to one of the beautiful beaches recommended. The ladies at the activity desk also helped us with recommending different activities and restaurants and were spot on with each. They also made our reservations for us. We highly recommend a helicopter tour with Blue Hawaiian.You will really see how beautiful and undeveloped this Isalnd still is.Happy hour at the pool bar is fun also. We met some nice people and the Mai Tai's and Pina Coladas were tasty ya.One last thing... I was a bit of a twit one morning(probably too many Mai Tai's the night before) and screwed up the number on our room safe. Unfortunately I had to disturb Brad but he was so understanding and I had the safe open in no time. Thanks again Brad and Wendy. We plan on returning next year and we hope it works out that 160 will be available to us again. Phil and Christine, Victoria B.C ALOHA!!!

We just had a wonderful stay in condo 115. We saw sunrise from the lanai each morning! The condo has everything you would need for your vacation. It was great to have Coconut Marketplace right there. We rarely used our car. We loved the beach right at the condo complex. It has trees overhanging the sand so we could get shade. We are recommending the Krellers to all of our friends.

WOW! We started our vacation on the wrong foot. When we got to the airport at 7:30 am, we learned our flight was canceled. After hours of waiting in line we were finally transferred to another airline and arrived in Kauai 6 hours from our original reservation. We were so exhausted! We walked into the condo and we were in aw. What an amazing condo. There was music playing on the radio when we arrived along with a box of candy for us. The view from the condo is priceless and the grounds are great. I have to say that I plan on going back to Kauai and will be contacting Brad and Wendy first to try and rent one of their units. It just had that special touch! Thank you so much for the great experience! Mahalo!

Just returned from a great week staying in Unit #160. The location on the East Shore was great for first time visitors providing equally good access to the entire island. The unit location in the Islander is also great. Loved waking up and looking out at the ocean first thing in the morning. Brad and Wendy were great to work with and addressed all our inquiries promptly. Would definitely rent from them again. The accommodations were nice - comfortable bed, good shower, etc. Great having the coffee maker, toaster oven and fridge. Good laundry facilities. Kauai was wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kreller's condo #115. We were welcomed with chocolates and Hawaiian music playing. The unit location was great, steps from the parking lot, steps from the beach and next to the ice machine which came in handy. The Coconut Marketplace which is less than a 5 minute walk has shops and restaurants. Pick up beer/alcohol and cheap souveniers at Whaler's Cove. Not being big restaurant eaters and being on a budget, our favorite places to eat there were Aloha Kauai Pizza and Harley's Tropical BBQ. Order both from the window and eat outside at the picnic tables or walk back to your condo for about $7 a person. Would totally recommend renting bikes at Coconut Coasters and riding the 5 mile bike path, it was breathtaking with many secluded beaches. Go early to avoid the crowds! The condo was clean and had everything we needed, mini-fridge, microwave, toaster over, beach chairs, cooler, etc. A great condo for a great price. Thanks Brad and Wendy!

My 79 year old mother and I recently stayed at Islander on the Beach and found it to be "home away from home." It was perfect for us and we loved every minute. It was a quiet change of pace and a perfect vacation spot to get away from everything, but it was also close to shopping, eating, sight seeing and fun as well. This was absolutely perfect and the Krellers were great to deal with. Kudos to a wonderful vacation!

Brad and Wendy, Thank You so much for the use of your condo at Islander on the Beach. Your property was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in room #319 and the view every morning from the lanai of the ocean/sunrise was fantastic. Having stayed at Islander on the Beach years ago we were concerned as the hotel/grounds were very run down and in desperate need of repair. The remodel is fantastic. It was like staying in a totally different resort. The grounds are beautiful and the upgrades in the rooms were very nice!! The location of the hotel is perfect for dining, shopping, beaches, etc. Thank you for making the process of renting your condo painless, easy and enjoyable. This was the first time we rented from an individual owner and the experience was very positive. We visit Kauai at a minimum of once a year and would not hesitate to stay at your property again. (In fact, we are looking forward to it.) A big thank you to previous guests who donated their beach chairs, boogey boards, etc. It was very much appreciated.

What a wonderful experience - Brad and Wendy have thought of everything! The condo was well stocked. We especially enjoyed the cooler and beach chairs that we could take with us on our daily trips. Working with the Krellers was a wonderful experience. We received detailed information and well wishes prior to our trip and even a follow up email following our trip to ensure all had a wonderful time. I plan on taking advantage of their hospitality again in the near future. TIP: make sure to read the guestbook. Several people recorded their favorite activities while visiting the island. This will give you some great ideas what to do.

Our 6-day honeymoon in Kauai at the Kreller's unit 319 at Islander on the Beach was fantastic! It was our first trip to Hawaii and we could have stayed for a month! The condo was perfect - great bed, great shower, great kitchen, etc. It was so much nicer than any hotel and so much cheaper! We used the provided air conditioners, flatware and utensils, guide book, boogie boards and snorkel equipment the most. We spent a lot of time on the lanai and loved the view of the ocean. Happy hour at the tiki bar is 4-6 everyday and is a good place to meet visitors and locals - we even had a potluck dinner there once. The location of the condo was perfect for enjoying the beach, finding great places to eat and shop nearby and easily touring the entire island. We highly recommend the Kreller's rentals to anyone going to Kauai - Brad and Wendy are wonderful, will make everything easy for you and are great to work with! Mahalo!

We stayed in Unit #319. It was as advertised: clean, attractive and pleasant. More than that it is located next door to shops and eating places. Good beaches nearby, the airport is 10 min. away as is the main town of Lihue. It is easy to drive to the north coastal attractions as well as the Poipu/Koloa areas to the southwest. Kapaa 1/2 mile to the north has restaurants, Safeway, gasoline, bakery and other stores for your needs. Don't expect to park by your building as the lot was quite congested when we were there.

Unit #319 is lovely, very clean and had a view of the beach from the lanai. We enjoyed all the little amenities that are included in the unit, microwave, the coffee maker, the utensils and most of all the box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts. Quite a nice welcome treat. When we booked the units, we stayed too at the Keller's ground floor unit (#115), both have the same amenities, though there are some differences between the units, but enjoyed both of them. Would suggest staying at ground floor unit if you can not deal with going up 3 flights of stairs, as the building does not have an elevator. If you like the view of the beach while drinking your mai-tai, go for the 3rd floor unit, and you will enjoy it. Though you can also see the beach from the ground floor unit. At the 3rd floor unit, you can even leave the sliding door open at night and listen to the sound of the ocean. Thanks Brad and Wendy for sharing your units with us and thanks too, for giving us the great deal. We will definitely come back to stay in any of the units again and highly recommend any of the units to those reading this comment.

We had the absolute best vacation here!!! Not only is this island picture perfect but the Kreller's condo is great. Everything was all set for us when we arrived making us feel right at home. We were right near both the beach and a pool with a bar for those lazy days :) The location on the island is ideal too...basically right in the middle of everything. Each day my husband and I would just head out and decide right or left to explore a new part of the island. There is also right great shopping and dining here. All in all this is definately a place we will be coming back to in the future!! Maholo to Brad and Wendy :)

We stayed in Unit #160 for 3 days and didn't want to leave. Brad and Wendy are very accomodating. So many extras that a normal hotel room would not have, i.e. snorkel equipment, corkscrew, wine glasses, cooler, etc. The view is great too! We enjoyed eating breakfast outside every morning. It is a great value... can't be beat. We are planning our next stay, and it will definitely be here.
