With partial ocean views from the furnished private balcony, this lovely second-floor studio is a terrific place to stage a fun Hawaiian vacation with someone you love! After a luxurious night's sleep on the large bed, wake up to the toasty aromas of freshly brewed Kona then take your first cup out to enjoy in the salty sea air. The kitchenette has a mini-fridge, a microwave, and plenty of storage for your staples, so you can easily prepare a delightful al-fresco lunch before heading out to the water. Take a short walk to explore all the fun on-site amenities that include a shared hot tub, gas grill, and pool then come back to use the high-speed WiFi to research a new outdoor adventure while the central AC keeps everything nice and cool. The flatscreen TV will stream your favorite Netflix movies and shows whenever you're not splashing around in the Pacific surf just steps from the pool.

Kauai Getaway

You could hear the ocean from the property, very peaceful sound. There is a boardwalk for a stroll to just enjoy the ocean breeze. There are a lot of boutiques and a country mart a quick walk from the condo. We really enjoyed our stay!

Islander on the beach

Condo had everything we needed but the 10 am check out time is strict. We had an afternoon flight and requested an 11am check but were told no. On a side note the Sleeping Giant Grill had very good food at a good price point.

The air split air conditioner was not working, and were not informed of it. A portable system was left on the floor right next to the headboard of the bed. The hose from the unit was run down on the floor alongside the bed, which wasca tripping hazard, and ran out the front patio door that left a 6 inch gap that was closed with plastic. The unit was left with no instructions to take care of it. We eventually figured out that you had to drain the water out of the unit yourself every 40 minutes cause an alarm signal would go off, and then it would blow warm air. The unit was so loud next to the bed, we had to shut it off every night to sleep. The lock on the patio door was disabled cause of the gap to run the hose out the patio door, we had to tie a string to feel safe. Wires were left hanging at the top of the door.The patio door was so dirty, the front desk gave us a cloth and spray and told us we had to clean it ourselves. We cut short our stay in this rental cause we were both uncomfortable and started feeling ill no doubt from the water being left in the unit blowing inside for days before we figured out we had to drain it. We moved to a different resort.

Very nice stay

We were welcomed with a welcome care package and the essential cleaning supplies. And a great view of the beach right out side the balcony. Did have some trouble with the wifi and TV, but with a nice texted they helped right away. Definitely would stay again.

Great place to stay

Quick access to the beach and anything on the east side. Everything was very clean. Bed and pillows weren’t the most comfortable, a little flat, but overall a good place to stay.

Accessible way to experience Kaua’i

Exactly as advertised, affordable no frills way to experience the Garden Island. Things that were good: -Good location as it’s very central. We found ourselves leaving Kapa’a most days to either head north or south/ west. If you want to explore the whole island, I would stay in the south(Koloa/ Poipu) for a few days and in the north for a few (Princeville/ Hanalei). -Nice bike/running trail that starts right behind the unit. -Lovely porch with partial ocean views. Great for coffee or hanging out after sundown. -Hosts were kind and left some local sweets. Things that could be better: -Bed was straight up uncomfortable. Do not stay here if you’re sensitive to bed comfort, you can feel the springs when you turn. -Bring earplugs. You will be woken up by roosters at 4am each day. The front door doesn’t seal well so there’s almost no noise barrier. This also results in the room being sticky most days. -They had some snorkel gear, which was nice, but it was very dirty from previous tenants so we had to deep clean them and ended up just renting elsewhere. Other things to note: -This is a unit in Aston Islander on the Beach, but it’s a private rental. The pool and hot tub were fine, but almost always packed and had a lot of kids/ families -Beach immediately behind the property is ok. It’s pretty rocky and has a lot of debris, so we didn’t stay here much. Overall we enjoyed our stay but tried to spend as little time in the room as possible. It worked as an accessible way to see the island, but you definitely get what you pay for.
