The room was clean, the overall property was beautiful. Only issues was, not being managed by the property itself. Some Aston Islander amenities not extended to this unit.
Beach side on a budget. Great location next to the beach and ocean. Close to Lava Lava Beach Club and other restaurants and shops. AC was awesome. It was hot and humid in early September. Good price. A little outdated, but we knew that from previous reviews. All we did was sleep there and take a shower so it worked great for us.
Lovely views and nice accessibility to convenient necessities:)
Perfect location-middle of east side so not too far to all activities. Beautiful gardens around condos. Right on the beach. Parking could be better-hard to find a spot after 8 pm. Had to park in marketplace next door one night due to lack of parking spots.
Older place could use updating. Over all was great. Was a wonderful location and view
Well-appointed condo with amazing beach views!! Great location next to Coconut Market, and convenient for getting other places on the island. We did find it a bit musty, but didn’t spend much time inside with the doors closed up. Host was communicative when we had questions during our stay. We appreciated the small cooler and beach towels that were included in the rental.
May be cozy for some, but was just right for us. Loved the location and view.
We had an amazing stay at this condo. It was very clean, well stocked and the location was perfect! We left the patio door open the entire stay allowing the sea breeze to cool the apartment while enjoying th sound of the waves. It is about half way between the North Shore and Waimea canyon, making it easy to explore the whole island with one home base. It is also located directly on the rec path, I suggest renting a bike to get a full experience of the local beaches. I would recommend this place to everyone! We can't wait to book our next stay!
Since I’ve returned many times to this location it’s a sure sign I absolutely love it. Room 224 gives me joy.
And I’ll return again because it’s a special treat to be in an elegant, clean room right on the ocean with excellent management and fair rates.
Mahalo!
Perfect location; we could watch whales while sipping coffee on our lanai, then walk to restaurants and shops nearby. They’ve done an excellent job in anticipating what would be needed in the kitchenette, as well as beach chairs, a cooler, etc. The manager reached out to make sure all was well. Wonderful experience!
We again stayed in this beautiful spot and wonderful unit in Kapaa. The view, the amenities and the support were excellent. We hope to return to this paradise once again.
The location and view are phenomenal! The condo itself was adequate. Furnishings were outdated only two beach towels no umbrella and the condo had a musty smell.
My stay was perfect in every way. The room is freshly painted a beautiful aquamarine ocean blue. I wish this were my ocean apartment to live in full time. Clean, tasteful decor, quiet and well stocked with all amenities. In four days I saw a double rainbow, warm light rain, bright sun, bright moon, colorful farmers market, mystic sunrises, wave sounds 24/7 and birds and foliage. I never left the grounds. I kept the AC off and the natural breezes fLowed in.
Monica answers any text immediately for questions and wants guests to enjoy and be comfortable. I give this Kauai guest room 224 as many stars as there are in the night sky shining outside from the dreamy veranda view.
Stayed at Debra's rental at Aston Islander. Location was central to so many things. Within 30 min drive to either Hanalei or Poipu. Amazing view of the lanai looking right out to the water, getting amazing sunrise views.
This is a wonderful place, right on the beach, with a perfect view of the sunrise, and within walking distance to several restaurants and shops. This was our first vrbo experience, so we were shocked that check in and out was amazingly simple -- we were waiting for more instructions!
Great room, wonderful view right on the beach and the a/c worked well. Nice food and retail shops real close by. But the bathroom does have a water musty stale smell
Perfect place on tbe beach. Could not have been better!
On a positive note, the unit does have a great view; probably one of the best in the complex. The Islander on the beach has a vintage charm, and nice grounds. My hubs had fun at the little tiki bar, and we liked that the lava lava was next door. I also liked that there were lounge chairs set up on the beach, it makes it easy to go sit by the water.
Unfortunately, the room had such an uncomfortable, lumpy mattress, that I ended up sleeping on the twin size pull out cot for most of the week. Kind of ironic considering I rented the place for the king size bed. Also, we only had one beach towel, and two bath towels each to last for 9 days. As a vrbo guest, you don’t get towel service, and are not allowed to use the laundry room. I’ll never stay at a rental on the beach again that doesn’t have access to laundry. While the view was great, I would have traded it on day two for a dry towel and a comfortable bed. It would be an ok place to stay for three days tops, imo.
This was also a strange situation for us, because the condo changed owners between the time we paid, and the day of our arrival. There was definitely a lack of transparency, because the first owner didn’t disclose that she was selling the unit until we had paid the non refundable payments. This did cause some confusion and minor inconveniences before we left for this vacation, and the listing doesn’t have accurate pictures currently.
We had a short trip but loved the condo and resort.
The condo is older but well equipped and clean.
The property is beautiful with a great little bar at the pool 😊
Wonderful place to spend time in Kuaui. Everything you need. Balcony looking right out on beach. Close shopping and restaurants. Lovely <3

Beautiful view of the ocean. Ocean steps away. Would rent again.
We again really enjoyed this unit and location on the trail close to shopping, the farmers market and restaurants. Great spot
Overall we had an enjoyable stay. Our unit was nice enough, the pool, location, and grounds were great.
My only complaints are that the sheets and bedding were paper thin and wouldn't stay on the bed. The toilet wouldn't stop running, we had to lift the lever after each use... not a big deal.
Also, as folks in other units would check out, they would leave trash bags out in front of the units and the cleaning staff wouldn't pick them up? So there were bags of trash just lying around outside our door the whole week even after I told management about it. Ah well... we were at the beach most the time anyway.
This place was great for the price. Oceanview, close to pool, close to shops, restaurants, and coffee. Pool was nice. Room was clean but a little worn down with water damage in spots, which is pretty common with the humidity in Kauai. Check in was easy and hosts were reliable. No extra amenities from the resort were available (such as towel service, room cleaning, extra room supplies, etc.) because this is a privately owned condo.
Overall we enjoyed our stay!
Amazing view that I was not expecting. Just steps to the beach. I wish i could have stayed longer.
Would have been nice to have more beach chairs and to replace the broken ones.
The view was perfect. It was wonderful to wake up to see the sunrise over the ocean.
