This is a great condo to stay in, in a great location. The condo was clean and bright and well equipped. Bed was comfortable, air conditioning in the bedroom did the job, shower in the bathroom worked well, and the kitchen had everything you need. We appreciated that the host provided coffee and filters for the coffee machine, beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, big sunshade umbrella, and a boogie board. The apartment complex is close to a busy road but the road noise was minimal - we heard the sound of ocean more than the road - and the views are just stunning - the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s great to get up in the morning, make a coffee and go and sit out on the lanai and drink in the view along with your coffee :). The apartment is a short walk to a breakfast cafe, a brewery, the beach (tip walk up Papaloa Road to the beach by the Lava Lava Beach Club), and the Coconut Marketplace, and short drive to Kapaa. What more could you ask for?

Very clean, wonderful place to stay. Amazing view and comfortable. I noticed some of the earlier reviews complained about street traffic , but I did not find that to be a problem at all. I would definitely stay here again . . . this place was even better than the photos.

Great sunrise beach view. Many good restaurants within close walking distance. Coconut marketplace. Good central location to many fun island activities and hikes. Only downside I would say is the traffic noise with the bedroom facing out to the main highway. Loved having the ice chest, beach chairs, etc. for use during our adventures.

A magical place. Hearing the sound of the ocean, coffee on the lanai.

Heather N.10.0/10

Wonderful location and stocked appropriately. The only thing I would change is adding air conditioning to the main room or a much better fan. It got very hot during the day even with all the windows open fully. Cross breeze was ineffective on several days. The AC in the bedroom was amazing! Otherwise, I would not change a thing. Quite complex, pool was nice as well.

Wonderful place to stay! Location was great and served as a great home base as we explored the entire island! I definitely got spoiled by the view of the beach and the sound of the waves as I cooked breakfast every morning. The place can be slightly on the warmer side at times, but just expect that and you’ll have a great time :) my wife and I will definitely come back the next time we find ourselves on the island!

Stayed with my husband for our anniversary trip, the place was beautiful and the location is perfect! The AC in the bedroom was a godsend and the breeze in the front room comes in wonderfully. The balcony view can’t be beat and the location is perfect for anyone wanting to easily explore all the island has to offer. Shops and restaurants are in walking distance, we are already planning to be back!

I cannot express enough, how beautiful and breathtaking the view was from our balcony. When I saw that it was ocean view, I figured you might be able to see a glimpse of the ocean. I never expected to see the beach with the waves crashing in the beauty of the ocean, the palm tree, everything that you could ever dream of it was like a painting in real life! The check-in was so easy the people who manage the property were so kind and helpful beyond what they needed to be. When we walked into our vacation rental, Music was playing setting the mood for our tropical paradise. The air conditioner in the bedroom worked amazingly. We frequently use the VBRO and this was by far the best one we’ve ever rented and not the most expensive either. I will for sure stay here again when we return!

Nice location centrally located between both sides of the island. Great restaurants close by. View was awesome and we loved the sound of the waves. A bit noisy with the highway so close. We had everything we needed and had a great vacation

Very nice location. Unable to see sunset or sunrise from lanai due to way building faced on the bay so was a bit disappointing. We like to leave windows open but a lot of traffic noise was on both sides of building. Overall though a great place to be.

Good central location. Balcony looked right out to ocean. Could listen to the surf while in the kitchen/living room. Had a great stay and would do it again. Mere feet away from great coffee breakfast spot. It was super popular and super crowded. Farmers market in Coconut mall on Tues and Thurs. was a 10 minute walk and the ABC store had food to go including 8oz prime rib dinner for 19.99

The condo was well outfitted and clean. The location is very noisy. The unit we stated in is located right next to the main highway. You hear the cars siren etc. The owner cannot control this but it should be disclosed in the description. The beach has homeless people staying on it. At night they but. Drift wood so you cannot leave the doors open unless you like smoke.

staying during Jan-Feb, it was a bit windy, but that gave us great opportunity to watch the surfers from our lanai. The location was so convenient to get to from the airport, walk the beach, go to the marketplace, and drive to all the locations on the island. it was fully stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and bath; beach chairs, beach mats, umbrella, cooler, snorkels, walking stick for hiking, and even binoculars! we kept it clean, but there were ants daily in the kitchen as expected in a tropical location. we didn't have any need to contact the host because everything was working well throughout our stay.

Linda J.8.0/10

The condo was adequately supplied. Only lacked oven mitts & instructions on how to use the TV. Little disappointed that the traffic of Kuhio Highway was overtaking the sound of the ocean inside & outside the condo. So many emergency vehicles going by.

Balcony looked right out to the beach but right below to the right is an abandoned building which was a bit unsightly but overall a good view straight at the beach. Street noise is a bit loud but still enjoyed the stay. Good central location. Nice pool area.

Love the location and how close it was to the beach and restaurants. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. The only issue we had was small ants in the apartment. We always cleaned up our messes and took out the trash and it was still an issue in the kitchen and bathroom. Other than that we will definitely come back to this rental it’s perfect!

We enjoyed the location -- being at the water's edge, about half way between the far western and far northern towns on the island and proximity to shopping. Overall ranking 7 out of 10 as explained below. Pros Sweeping ocean view with calming wave sounds Good room a/c in bedroom that also provides white noise to sleep Newer his & hers sinks in bathroom Newer shower head with handheld option Small drink cooler and lots of ice packs Beach mats Cons Generally dated decor and furnishings Road noise No a/c in main living area Decaying building on adjacent lot just off the side of balcony Amenities lacking or of lesser quality than expected including: no extra trash bags, only one dishwasher pellet, no aluminum foil, no notepad, fridge without ice maker or filtered drinking water, no toaster oven, thin toilet paper, no beach towels. Newer shower head with handheld option

This spot is a great location for getting to all the fun food and things to do on the island. A/C in the bedroom made it especially awesome. There was an emergency for the cleaning person , but they got that all fixed up the next morning! Marvis was great! Shayne is a great repsonsive host and Jesse the onsite manager was super helpful!

The check-in process was seamless with the instructions emailed ahead of time. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the AC in the bedroom worked well.

We would definitely stay here again!

My spouse and myself stayed at this property for 6 days. The house was very clean with a complete kitchenette and ample towels. The best part was the balcony overlooking the ocean. The constant sound of ocean waves 24x7 was extremely calming. Would stay here again if visiting Kauai!!

We had an absolutely amazing stay in Kauai. This place is a little dated as you see in the pictures but does the job above and beyond. The A/C unit in the room was awesome, kitchen had everything you needed and the waking up to waves every morning was simply incredible. The only problem we had was the checkin code we were given to get into the condo was not correct. And we didn’t get an answer back until 2 days later. Luckily there was maintenance staff that was able to get us the code after we tried for upwards of an hour to get anyone to help us. It was a rough start to the trip but other then that it was a wonderful stay in a great location!

Overall I must say the water view is lovely on the side that doesn’t have the dilapidated building in view. Communication from host was terrible, especially after we shared that one of the kitchen cabinets was broken off and had some questions. It smells inside and when leaving doors open, you get a whiff of a stinky odor so that’s not pleasant. Positives are, there’s a view, bed is comfortable, and there are a couple chairs/ umbrella and snorkels to use. I would not recommend staying here for the listed price given all the negatives.

The Wailua Bay View apartment we stayed in for 2 weeks was clean, comfortable, and convenient. Beach access was literally just down the stairs. The ocean and beach views from our unit were spectacular; we even could spot whales off in the distance. The wing surfers and other aquatic sportsters were a constant source of entertainment. Grocery stores, a farmers market, art and souvenir shops, and restaurants were either within a short walk or a few minutes drive. Proximity and easy access to the main road, Kuhio Highway (56), is a mixed blessing as the road is well traveled 24 hours a day it seems, with the exception of Sunday evenings when the traffic seemed to lessen. But the sounds of the surf spilling up on the beach and rocks below our balcony muffled any other neighboring noises. My wife and I would do it all again.

The condo unit was perfect for me! It was so easy to get all around the island for a week. The view of the sunrise, sound of the waves, and walk along the beach was the absolute highlight of my day. I appreciated having a washer/dryer so my laundry was done and packed for my return trip home. I would definitely stay here again. Anyone worried about only having an AC in the bedroom need not worry. When in the living and dining room, an AC is not needed with the tradewinds. I slept sound with the AC in the bedroom.
