Great location, with a very nice ocean view from lanai. Might as well have been ocean front. Second floor not a problem. Unit is small but has all the amenities we needed and we would go back again.

Perfect location in Kauai

Kapaa is the best location in my opinion. You are conveniently located for events driving North to Princeville area and beaches. Then going West to Waimea canyon. Property and room are absolutely beautiful! Manager was very responsive and answered questions quickly. Would stay here again! ALOHA

Wonderful

Stayed for a week and did all the things I wanted to do. The location of the condo could not have been better. The view was very nice and the proximity of the beach was perfect. The fact that Coconut Market Place was right next door was terrific. Plenty of restaurants, shopping, and essential services was great.

Fantastic Place to Stay!

We loved staying here for our time in Kauai. Very short drive from the airport. We loved being so close to the water and the boardwalk along the beach was a beautiful walk. Lava Lava Beach Club next door is a fantastic restaurant as well. Overall very happy with the experience. Hassle free check in, no parking issues. THe market nearby is great too.Highly recommend.

Islander on the beach is the ideal getaway. The property is situated in a great shopping and dining area. The sunrise and beach was great. We even had seals sleeping on the beach enjoying the sun. We would definitely come back here. greg and Lorrie

We loved our stay at this property. It seemed the perfect location to get to all spots on the island. Having the beach right there was a definite plus although the water at the location isn’t super swimable due to a lot of rough waves but still pretty to look at. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Place to experience Kapa’a

The best AC on the island! Wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean from the balcony. Lots of thoughtfulness by host to include all you need to explore the area-beach towels and chairs, cooler, and a binder with lots of information. The studio is spacious and has multiple seating areas and great storage.

Information book

Everything was great! Only suggestion is to update the information book. The directions for the tv are for a completely different remote and several of the suggested restaurants are no longer in business. Other than that it was all very enjoyable.
