When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.
Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.

Perfect location! The beach is in walking distance. Sea turtles and seals visited the beach daily. The condo was great! We had all the amenities we needed. The portable A/C was wonderful. Stores, restaurant's and food trucks were close by.

Liked: Check-in, location
While the location is great, the condo definitely needs updating. Very worn, uncomfortable furniture, lights that don’t work, noisy plumbing and no hot water in the bathroom or kitchen sinks. The beach chairs and umbrella were good quality.

Aloha, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re glad you enjoyed the location and that the beach chairs and umbrella were in good condition. That said, we’re truly sorry to hear about the issues you experienced inside the condo — especially the plumbing noise and the lack of hot water at the bathroom and kitchen sinks. That is not acceptable, and we understand how frustrating it must have been.
We’ve shared your comments with our maintenance team so these items can be inspected and corrected, and we also appreciate your notes regarding the furnishings and overall wear, as that helps guide future improvements.
Mahalo again for staying with us, and we appreciate the opportunity to improve.
