Perfect location

We were extremely happy with the unit! Kathy was very responsive and answered all questions The unit is in the best location on the property. The location geographically was perfect for our trip. We were close to the Na Pali catamaran tour with Captain Andy -( so well done) The movie tour picked us up in the lobby, and we were close to the Waimea Canyon State Park for an early morning drive.

Great views

The view of the ocean are what makes this rental. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning and people watching from the balcony as we leisurely enjoyed simple breakfasts in the room. It is not super fancy if that is your style, but a nice basic accommodation. The location is handy for going both to the south shore and north shore. The shopping area for essentials is a walk across the parking lot. We used the grills provided by the pool a couple times for dinner and they were in good shape and clean. Having 2 dorm refrigerators is very handy and we did not have to be concerned with having enough room for food and drinks we purchased. If we are able to come back again, I would consider staying here again or at this resort.

Exceptional sunrise views

It’s all about the view and easy access to what feels like a private beach. Pool is nice. Not a resort feel. The small shopping area has a lot of convenient shops. You’ll feel lucky to get a spot here.

Ocean view for miles

If you want to stare at the ocean with unobstructed views-this checks the box. This was a perfect spot for our last 3 nights on the island. Cozy studio with everything we needed for our time. We like to cook on vacations so might not stay for a full week here but overall this was perfect. Loved being able to walk along the shore on the long sidewalk as well.

This place is 5*

The condo was so nice, clean, and comfy. I throughly enjoyed my stay and hope to do so again in the future. After your daily adventures you can unwind with nearby places to eat, or just relax on the balcony and watch the waves until you are ready to sleep. Great spot, 5 stars!

Lovely location, lovely views

We particularly loved sitting on the balcony/veranda in the a.m. as the sun came up, hot drink in hand, listening to the surf. It's a great location, very handy to lots of things, especially the beach! The facility is a bit older and could use some modernizing; but it was certainly adequate. A couple of suggestions: This is a 2-person facility, and it would be very helpful to have a 3-cup coffee-maker, rather than the 10-12 cup unit that is provided. It's just not handy to make 2 or 3 cups—a small amount—in a large coffee-maker. And it would be helpful to have one or two extra garbage bags. Our stay was for 2 weeks, and to expect us to buy a package of garbage bags just to get 1 or 2 more seems, um, a bit "cheap." Why not have extras on hand for convenience? But these are minor matters. We very much enjoyed our time in this VRBO and would do it again in a heartbeat.

This spot is my mom’s favourite location in the world, second to none ocean front views with evening breezes is the best. So close to the beach that you can hear the waves all day and all night. Easy check in, super clean, quick to communicate, highly recommend this rental and location to anyone.

We had a marvelous time in Kauai, in part because we had a great place in a central location to stay. Everything was perfect, but the sunrises from the lanai were spectacular! We can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Excellent location right on the beach. We sat out on the balcony each morning and watched the sunrise as the balcony faced right onto the ocean. The beach is excellent to sit and also get in the ocean and swim. Great communication with the host and all the amenities we needed. Resort has a swim pool, hot tub and bar right at swim pool. We toured alot of the island and are glad we landed at this location as it is centrally located to alot of activities. There is coconut market right across the street with shopping and grocery store. Great eateries around as well. There is a nice boardwalk right next to beach to walk up and down the different areas of beach. I would definitely book again if we make it back to Kaui!!
