Great location right on the water and walking/biking path up the east coast of Kauai and down to Lydgate Beach state park. Free parking which was nice. Some beach and shade trees with lawn chairs so you can walk a few steps to relax to the calming ocean sounds. Convenient and Island- centric spot right next to Coconut Grove shops and a few other restaurants. Kitchenette very small for cooking but functional for basic needs. All in all, a great, peaceful place to stay for a week.

Everything was great! The patio furniture was different from the photos. There is now a heavy wood bar height table and chairs. They were heavy and not comfortable. There is now a loveseat sofa inside which was nice. The ocean view is wonderful. Shower water is nice and hot. Wifi is perfect. Lots of walkable food options. Very nice laudromat about half mile away. It has a coin exchange machine and credit options.

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.

We are so thankful you were gracious when the Association sprung a last minute construction job on us with very short notice. The good news is that the repairs were needed and getting done plus you were upgraded to a another nice condo. We do our best to take care of our visitors. Thank you for your understanding and we hope you come again. Mahalo, Premier Kauai Ohana

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.

Couples Vacation

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!
