Everything was as advertised- clean, quiet, beautiful apartment. Much better than hotel options! We had a lovely breakfast each morning if on the patio looking out at the ocean. My kids loved the facilities (pool, ping pong table, etc). Hosts were immediately responsive to all of my questions. Very happy with our stay!
Fantastic location. Place was clean and had nearly everything we needed! View was incredible and the resort had a lot of fun activities for us (pool, golf putting, horse shoes, etc) Having air conditioning was great! Walking distance to many restaurants and shopping. Will be back in the future! Highly recommend!
This is a lovely unit and the location is superb. Perfect sunrise view. Well-appointed unit in lively Kapa'a. Great communication with the hosts. Grounds at the complex are beautiful!hosts
Great location for a stay in Kauai. The condo is arguably the best location in the complex with maximum privacy! Very clean and nicely furnished. Many restaurants/shops/markets within walking distance or very short drive.
Very comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The ocean view was outstanding! Saw sunrises from the lanai almost every day! Walked to darling town, restaurants & lots of food trucks…excellent location. Centrally located to everything on the island
Love this place. Very clean, location was great. Owner was great to work with. They checked in on us mid week. The grounds of the resort and the pool were very well manicured and maintained.
Great stay at this property, location is perfect, sleeping to the sound of the waves with shops and restaurants just around the corner. The coastal path is also great for long walks. The unit was very clean and spacious. AC throughout, basic amenities provided sufficient for a 4 night stay. Was a great base to discover both north sand south shores
This was an ideal place to stay for our first visit to Kauai. Its central location allowed us to easily explore all parts of the island. The balcony view allows for lots of people and rooster/chicken watching as well as sunrise every morning. The hosts provided everything we needed and were very good at communicating. Would absolutely recommend this property!
This place is 'top' notch! Loved the location, the ocean view, the walking path, and the comfort of the condo! We will be 'be-backs for sure! Mahalo to the outstanding hosts for an AMAZING Paradise vacation! 😊
Can’t beat this oceanfront location.
Took the provided chairs and umbrella to the beach.
Easy walk to awesome bakery/coffee spots, grocery & dinner options from cool food trucks!
Centrally located to explore the East side.
This Condo offered everything possible for a comfortable stay, the communication with the owners was very professional starting with the original process of booking to check out and follow up after. We were so impressed we have booked again with them albeit in a different property for next year.
Kauai is such a beautiful lush island. Our condo provided the perfect location to see all parts. Our condo had all of the items needed for an enjoyable stay. Thank You Steven, Stephanie & Ashley! Mahalo
Loved the location. Lots of stores and places to eat within walking distance. The view was amazing! Unfortunately the beach isn’t super swimmable (pretty rough), but still nice to walk and play in the surf a bit. The pool, albeit not fancy, our 6yo thoroughly enjoyed. Feeding the fish in the morning was also a highlight for her.
This is the perfect location for your Kauai vacation!! Kapaa is in the middle of everything. We could walk to shopping and restaurants!! Penthouse was exactly as described on website. Just beautiful. Can't wait to go back!!
This 3rd floor, end unit of the resort was perfect for me and my husband's first trip away from our kids. The shower was great as was the kitchen and balcony/view. We enjoyed being able to walk to breakfast, food carts, a grocery store and on the walking path. The resort itself is quiet and pretty but definitely does not an amazing pool if that's important (our kids would have been unimpressed). We didn't spend much time at the beacht here but now wish we had because our last afternoon my husband swam and said it was the clearest water of any beach on the island.
This was a great place to stay with the best view ever. It was stocked with all we needed to feel at home. Clean as can be. The air conditioner worked fantastic. Very close to walking to many places and short driving distances to all of east side. No disappointment at all. Stephanie knows how to treat her visitors with style. Thanks so much Christy
The location and setup of the condo was exactly as described. I was hoping for a location not just with a view of the ocean, but on the beachfront, and this condo has just that. Third floor means a better view overall, and walk down the stairs, and you are steps away from sand and a very quiet beach. This beach isn't necessarily popular for swimming, so it doesn't have any kind of crowds. Perfect for watching the waves and relaxing.
Our hosts were communicative and helpful. The condo was just as described, clean, and ready for us when we arrived.
Lovely condo, well supplied with essentials. Modern updates. But, the best part is the location. Beautiful sunrises from the lanai, and the beach just across the pathway. The pathway follows the shoreline for about 4 miles. Many bike it but we loved long walks. In the evening open the sliding glass doors and listen to the ocean waves.
First the view is fabulousl! But the bedroom - there are issues,there: first the a/c unit. The water from the unit empties from a hose into a plastic bucket. We were lucky to return on Sunday early and the fluid was just starting to drip onto the floors we got the bucket empty or it could have been a lot worse. Second, it is a small room into which is a placed a king sized bed. On my husbands side he could barely get out.
Our family really enjoyed our stay at this condo and would definitely visit again.
The location is fantastic. Having visited Kapaa during our honeymoon in the past, we like this location as a central hub for visiting Kauai, although on this trip our only major adventures were back to the airport for a helicopter tour and to Port Allen for a Na Pali coastline cruise. We were able to watch the sunrise each morning from the lanai, we walked and ran along the bike path, and enjoyed the beach in front of our unit most days.
The unit was air-conditioned, very clean and comfortable, and had all of the kitchen and bath amenities we needed. Since it was our family of 4, we used the pull out sofa in the living room and it was sufficient for our needs.
We did not require any direct communication with the owners during our stay. The check in/out process was super easy though, since there is a front desk exactly like at a hotel that handles all of those steps.
Our first stay in D308 was in October 2022 and this year we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving week on the island of Kauai and thought D308 would be a perfect place to stay at. The air conditioning was a nice upgrade and nice to have if one needed it. Honestly the trade winds made it very comfortable. Having said that, we can imagine the summer months might be a bit uncomfortable.
The hosts were wonderful and checked in on us during our stay. If you are having second thoughts with the cost per night...it is worth every penny. The sunrise every morning from your lanai and the walking path, the walking distance to Kappa town and its central location to the North and South shore is so worth it.
Our only complaint has nothing to do with the condo but more so the traffic, which the hosts cannot control. We have noticed over the years the traffic has progressively gotten worse all over this beautiful island. I suppose that is the price one must pay to visit this beautiful and magical place.
Kudos to the local government for cleaning up the homeless issue along the path. We remember in 2019 when it was really bad.
Thank you Stephanie and Steven for sharing your beautiful condo!
