Kauai stay

We enjoyed Kauai for the few days we were there. The property was very clean and well appointed. The balcony has beautiful views and it is close proximity to a tiny beach next to a the Beach House restaurant that offers snorkeling gear rental. Debbie was very responsive during check-in. We found the bedroom a little on the warm side, even with windows open. The bedroom fan was set on one speed (low). We did try to turn on the small A/C unit but it didn’t turn on for us. A 10 day per day charge applies, so we just skipped. Laundry is not in unit, so be sure to have small bills or change if doing laundry. The road the building sits on was a bit noisy, there happened to be motor cycle traffic our last night.

A little slice of paradise

We enjoyed our stay in this clean, nicely decorated and fully stocked, well-equipped unit with wonderful views of the bay and ocean. There is nothing more relaxing than the sound of waves crashing against rocks which you can hear throughout the condo. We began and ended our days on the balcony taking advantage of the views and sounds. We enjoyed seeing turtles in the bay and the nightly migration of parrots coming to roost for the night in the surrounding trees. You can take a short walk around to the grassy area in back and watch some pretty awesome surfing. You can see a small stretch of road looking left from the balcony but it’s not a big deal bc you will be focused on the bay and ocean. We never turned on the TV. The WiFi worked fine. The nearby shopping center has some very nice restaurants. Denise was a great host - very nice and informative and communicated well.

Perfect Retreat

This was a perfect place for us to relax and enjoy the beautiful island of Kauai. So close to the water and with the beautiful view from our balcony we enjoyed “staying in” for a few dinners. We would definitely recommend the location to friends and family looking for a place in Kauai.

The view is gorgeous

Let me start off by saying, hearing the waves crash as you lie in bed is literally what dreams are made of. The view was gorgeous, it was a real treat to sit out on the patio, and enjoy the scenery. I did have a mishap the first night of my stay, but the homeowner was gracious enough to rectify the situation. Unfortunately the maid did not do there job properly, because the bedding looked dirty and had stains. The homeowner came right away, and washed the sheets herself, which was very accomadating of her (shes very nice). It did take away from the over all experience though. The condo also felt a bit sterile as far as decorations go for a 500 a night price tag. Location was exellent. Overall I had a nice time at the condo. I would consider coming back on my next trip to Kauai.

My husband & I Loved our condo; details like a local number for Safeway grocery, lawn chairs, beach towels etc, nice touches. Very spacious, loved the closets & cabinets so it wasn’t cluttered with our stuff. Clean, minimal decor was great; the little cart was just fun! The host tidbits about everything was so helpful, lowering the blinds, the cross breeze to name a few. Thank you we enjoyed our stay!

A wonderful place that captures the ocean

We loved our stay here. This is a very modern unit with a partial view of the ocean. You're very close to the surf, and the window/screen door system lets in a lot of natural light and the sound and breeze from the ocean flows into the bedroom. It's very soothing and acts like white noise that blocks any sound from the nearby road. We also enjoyed dinner on the patio. In terms of cleanliness the place was immaculate. Sadly, we did not see turtles but we did enjoy the parakeets that show up at sunset before heading to the nearby park. We missed the notice about paying additional for A/C but we did not need it as long as we made use of the shades in the morning and early afternoon. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Ocean Vibes

Aloha, The condo and location is exactly what the pictures show and describe. Cool breezes and the morning sunrise on the private lanai was beautiful. The sound of the ocean crashing on the shore was absolutely perfect! It was only a short walk to the shopping center for necessities but due to limitations we would take the car or venture out to explore the rest of beautiful Kauai. We couldn’t ask for a better host as Denise was always available if and when we needed anything! Thank you again Denise for your beautiful, healing condo location and your great hospitality. We absolutely will plan another trip back to this wonderful location. Mahalo! 🐢🌴🌊🐠🌅

Exceeded expectations!

I wanted a place beach front. This location ended up as a great alternative since the walk was not far. The one-bedroom was very clean. Everything you’d need to have a comfortable stay was made available. I didn’t need the air conditioner. Open up the folders and enjoy the ocean breeze! The property owner was in-touch with all the details. Answered all my questions. You’ll definitely need to rent a car. The drive to the location was beautiful!

Peaceful Stay in Kauai

The condo was immaculate, exactly like the pictures on the website, and was a quiet place to enjoy the zen of Kauai. We found a lovely beach (Kiahuna) that was a short drive from the condo and spent most of our days relaxing there. The condo's kitchen was well stocked and on the lanai was a storage container with everything you need for time on the beach. We fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves in the cove below. We totally enjoyed our stay and would recommend it anyone planning a visit to Kauai!

Perfect for a getaway

Unit and complex were clean and inviting. Host was very responsive, and unit was very welcoming. Plenty of doors/windows to get a nice cross breeze keeping the unit nice and cool. AC was not needed at all. Great view off the deck, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. Floors are concrete with some rugs, no issue for us at all but may be for some. Everything was in order and good working condition. I would book here again in a heart beat.
