You cannot beat this location! This unit sits Oceanside and steps away from the Lava Lava Beach Club, shopping and the Kapa’a bike path. The unit was as described and a perfect blend of efficiency and Hawaiian vacation vibes! The facility has a nice jacuzzi, pool bar and social locations. The location in the island was so convenient, a great jumping off point for any activities you want. My favorite though was stepping outside and having coffee sitting on a lounge chair on the beach 15 steps from the room!

Mahalo for such a wonderful review! We’re so happy you loved it there! It truly is one of the best “jumping off” spots on the island for exploring all that Kauaʻi has to offer. It’s wonderful to hear the unit felt like the perfect blend of efficiency and Hawaiian vacation vibes — that’s exactly the experience we hope to create! And we couldn’t agree more… coffee on a lounge chair just steps from the ocean is pretty hard to beat. We’d love to welcome you back for another beachfront morning soon!

Islander on the Beach

Works great as a base to explore Kuaui. Loved the air conditioning and the sound of the waves at night. Enjoyed the proximity to the Lava Lava Beach Club for breakfast pancakes and the mall for shave ice. Very clean and insect free. I found the bed too soft but my spouse liked it that way. Only suggestion would be better pillows and fitted sheets.

Perfect location steps from the ocean

This end unit had an amazing view, access to bike trail(7 miles),LavaLava (restaurant with outdoor lounge,good food and live music). The Islander is a central location to beautiful beaches and other adventures. The town of Kapaa is a sleepy gem with old town shopping, food trucks and various happy hours. The h it was clean just wish it had a newer sofa. Otherwise it had drip coffeemaker ,blender and mid size mini fridge and microwave and a safe. Steps from the ice machine comfy queen size. K would stay there again!

Great location!

My husband and I went to Kauai June 2024. We booked this studio condo in Kapaa. Our condo had a beautiful view of ocean and beach. Close to airport. We loved our stay and will be back. The beach does have a lot of large logs and twigs everywhere so definitely wear shoes. The water is too rough to swim in especially with large logs being washed in everyday. The sunrises were beautiful to watch each morning they were more east of condo. The actual condo is perfect for a couple. It is a studio and does not have a full kitchen. So no stove in any of these studios. Also no beach chairs or mats or any other beach gear if you wanted to go elsewhere to swim. There are lounge chairs on the beach to use. There are plenty of places to eat though like Lava lava beach club was right next to condo and coconut market place and had lots of options. We enjoyed the island market store that was right there for everything you would need from breakfast lunch and dinner and groceries and other shopping, souvenirs etc. Kauai is super humid so plan on taking lots of naps. The property grounds are beautiful with different flowers and shrubs. There’s always entertainment at coconut market places with Hawaiian music and dance. Theres farmers market place there as well. We got to see a couple of waterfalls that were really close by. We saw the lighthouse and visited Poipu beach which seems to be the popular beach because sea turtles came up to the shore to bask in the sun and safe for swimming.

Mahalo nui for such a wonderfully detailed review! This property is awesome and close to everything. If you head more toward Lava Lava the beach is a little more swimmable but changes based on the time of year, the directoin the swells are coming in from etc. There are plenty of other beach parks on Kaua'i that offer better swimming, as you noted in Poipu! It is humid on Kaua'i for sure, the wettest in the chain! That's why it's so gorgeously lush. Thank you so much for all your comments, they'll be super helpful for our future guests, aloha to you and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Kauai Visit

Finally made the decision to island hop and came across this property. Amazing location (you can walk right up to the beach), parking was never an issue, and the property manager was quick to respond when we had questions. The pool and hot tub are also nice amenities to wind down in the evenings with. Basic toiletries are provided to get you started, but you will have to provide your own once you run out. Very relaxing and would stay here again!
