The unit we'd rented was in a construction zone. The owner gave us the option of an upgrade at a nearby resort. Although inconvenient, the owner could not have been more accommodating.

Everything was great. Beautiful grounds. Couldn’t be closer to ocean. Able to watch every sunrise from lanai. Close to lava lava restaurant, sleeping giant take out restaurant and ABC store. Very quiet (except for ocean waves! ) . Would highly recommend this place! We were very happy

Parking was super easy you have a parking pass inside of your room. There’s a single air conditioner in the unit and it works beautifully. Didn’t need it during the day but like it a little extra cool at night the room was absolutely beautiful, falling asleep and waking up to those waves was incredible. The little table and chairs outside was the perfect little touch for coffee in the mornings watching the sunrise.

This area was perfect for us as a couple and was much more private than north/south shore. We felt less “touristy” but with plenty of things to do and easy access to north/south shore with a car. Highly recommend!

Very clean room, excellent location, all as expected. My only disappointment was that the kitchen was not well suited for in room meal prep. No stove or oven, just a small microwave and toaster oven. Also no dishwasher--minor inconveniences. Otherwise this is the perfect getaway spot right on the beach with a full view of the ocean!

Great Central Location

This was a nice place with a good view! It was also a good location for us as we went out West to Waimea Canyon & were able to visit some beaches out West & up North as well. It's worth knowing that there isn't a stovetop in the room, but there are some grills down by the pool & a microwave in the room for cooking. Overall, this was a good place to stay for exploring Kauai!
