Spotless studio, just as described. You have a view of the ocean from the patio and it’s just a short walk to the oceanfront path where there are plenty of lounge chairs right by the water! Bed was comfortable, A/C worked great, and it is a quiet complex. Didn’t use it but the pool and hot tub looked very nice! Sometimes took a little hunting to find a parking spot late in the evening but I always found one. I would absolutely stay here again. Great central location for the whole island.

Great location on the island

This is a very cute and accessible property. I booked the location due to the central location on the island and access to the Coconut Marketplace (we train Jiu Jitsu and love the gym there!). The room was clean and supplied with basic start up necessities. It was also very nice that they had beach chairs and an umbrella available for our day up at the beach! The property outside is well maintained and right on the ocean, it’s also quiet and the staff is friendly. The check in/out instructions were easy and clearly communicated. Owners have a very simple but detailed information sheet for you in the unit. The only complaint from my partner was the AC unit didn’t cool down the unit to his preference of “ice chest” (I was ok with this since I don’t want to freeze at night! I was comfortable). I would book again! Thank you!

Perfectly positioned vacation rental

This rental is the perfect location for exploring the entire island of Kauai. Rental had everything we needed to have a great stay. Host will leave you detailed instructions and is easily available for any questions. Resort itself is beautiful. Right on the beach, the monk seals frequently were seen resting on the beach here. Would recommend to anyone!

Islander on the beach

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this unit which provided a good middle of Kauai spot to cleanup and sleep between exploring each day. Very convenient to be steps from Coconut Marketplace shopping. Pool area was nice. Our only 2 minor concerns were the weakly powered A/C unit that might have caused some mustiness in the unit and also had to go offsite to do Laundry.

Beautiful location

I loved that I could walk out and be right on the beach or the walking/bike trail along the ocean. The resort has beautiful grounds and a friendly pool bar that overlooks the ocean. There’s also a coffee shop and a few small eateries right next door as well as coconut marketplace (Farmers market Tue/Thurs and hula show Fri ). The lanai has an ocean view, and I appreciated that it was partially shaded. The unit is on the first floor so you can roll right into your room. I stayed here a month and had no issues.
