Wonderful location. Beach and bike bath on one side. Coconut market place on the other. Clean and great communication. The only changes needed were small ones due to being at the ocean- new lamp shades and shower curtain.

Perfect Island retreat

We loved our stay- the suite was just as advertised, clean, comfortable and the location was perfect for quiet days at the beach and easy to access food and shopping. The lanai was our favourite part-nothing beats starting your day with coffee overlooking the waves! We would definitely come back.

What an amazing location. The place was clean, centrally located, and had a great view. We loved being able to watch the sunrise each morning, having the marketplace so close, and enjoying a walk each day. There was a Monk Seal who would lounge on the beach in front of the property each morning. Would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back.

This was the perfect place to use as “home base” during our week exploring Kauai. The location had good nearby shopping and dining options and we spent hours on the lanai watching the sunrise and the ocean waves. The condo was comfortable, had everything we needed and was decorated nicely.

Perfect Location

Everything was perfect and as shown in photos. There are lots of nice restaurants, shops, and activities within a less than 5-10 minute drive. Is easy to walk to lots of different things from the location. You can drive to anywhere on the island in around an hour or less, even the furthest parts of the island. Walmart is 15 minutes away. Very relaxed and quiet environment. We went for our honeymoon and it was perfect.

Beach Accommodations

We had a good time staying at this VRBO. We chose it for its central location and beach views, which didn't disappoint. The property manager was very responsive and the listing is pretty accurate. This VRBO is essentially a hotel room in terms of size and layout, as well as building setup. Just know that you might hear doors close, water moving in pipes, toilets, outside guests, etc. Roosters are a thing on Kauai and they are a thing here, starting at 5am, not sure that will change anywhere you stay on-island. We used ear plugs, but we sleep light.Parking can be a struggle after 7pm and you may have to park on the street. We found the area to have so many conveniences that it made up for the perceived shortcomings in our eyes. There is a grocery store a short walk away, great path outside with restaurants nearby, easy highway access and central location to drive north or south. Decent stay for the price. There is a pool and the grounds are well kept. Great sunrises from this property as well. We won't frequent this VRBO in the future, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

Great property

The location of this property is amazing! It’s right on the beach with amazing views of the ocean! There are local shops and restaurants within walking distance. It’s about a 45 minute drive to the north side and about the same to the west side - traffic dependent. The space itself is as described with all the extras needed for an unforgettable trip. We would stay here again!
