We had such an amazing stay! Plenty of bathroom towels provided 4 beach towels. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Nothing beats the ocean view!
The location of this condo is unbeatable, perfectly situated for exploring all of Kauai’s must-visit spots. Its proximity to Coconut Marketplace is a huge plus for grabbing a quick bite after a long day. We loved the condo overall—the view was stunning, and it matched the listing exactly. Our only issue was the number of cockroaches we encountered in the condo. While we understand bugs are common in a tropical area, there were more than expected, and we had to deal with them the first few days.
Location was great, room was clean and in good repair other than the keypad lock, which failed our first day there. It was later replaced, and there was a backup key, so no problem. The Vacasa people were great about helping us with that issue. The property is nice, and it was wonderful to sleep to the sound of the waves. The view was gorgeous, and we thoroughly enjoyed our lanai, that included sturdy furniture and a drying rack for towels. The bed was big, and decently comfortable, and there was plenty of space to put away our clothes.They give you a starter package of supplies, and the rest is on you. Some items that I would expect that weren't there were tissues and beach chairs (we left some behind for the next guest). There were very few trash bags to get started, so we had to buy some (also left behind). Keep in mind, this is a hotel room with fridge and microwave, so you can't really do much in the way of cooking. There is also no dishwasher, so all dishes must be hand washed. The fridge didn't have a freezer, so frozen meals were out of the question. The "kitchen" was mainly for reheating leftovers from restaurants, and eating/drinking directly from the fridge.Overall, we had a great trip, and the location makes this property worth it. I would have preferred one with a stove top and freezer, however.
Fantastic, clean room with an incredible ocean front view. Just a very short walk to excellent shops and restaurants at the Coconut Market. Absolutely perfect!
The grounds were so pretty- lots of plants and flowers! We liked the balcony facing the ocean and easy access to a market, coffee, and restaurants. It was also a nice location to access either the west or north side of the island in a short time.
Loved the resort but unit was disappointing

BBQ supplied, but aged.

1. A/C did not work when using the controls for the unit. Management team member came over and turned on a power switch which was hidden from sight. Once on the controls did not increase/decrease speed of the fan nor temperature of the A/C.
2. Sliding door, very difficult to open. Sliding screen door did not function at all. off the track, it needs to have all the rollers replaced probable about a $20 FIX. This has been noted by several entries in the log book in the unit.
3. View from the deck of the ocean can only be seen while standing , table on deck is too low and what you see is the deck railing.
4. Kitchen area amenities were adequate but not sure when the last time everything had been removed snd sanitized. Trash can location is right next to the silverware drawer.
5. Lack of outlets in the unit, use of power strips for additional outlets.
6.We had to call multiple times for clean towels to be delivered by the management company. Also we were in the condo for 10 days and no clean sheets provided
7. Bathtub lacks a hand hold and tub bottom was slick.
8.Front door is very difficult to open.
Others have noted these same conditions in the journal in the unit for years.

This property was beautiful. The landscaping was amazing, the room face the ocean which was only about 30 yards away.
We really enjoyed ours stay here. It's a great location in the middle of the eastern coast. It makes it easy to get to the North shore or the South shore as you explore the island.
Stayed here twice for 10+ days. Great location on the island. Half way to north and south shores. Convenient Coconut Marketplace right next door.
Loved this unit 5 yrs ago! This time, chairs are stained, screen door won’t open (spent long distance money calling caretaker but nobody called back), looks like sliding door to lanai had been damaged at lock point, no door on safe as it had been pried off. (Was there a break-in recently???) Chairs on the Lanai are so low, you can’t see over the railing.
Love the location but I wouldn’t stay in 250 again until it’s cleaned up, repairs done, and customer service improves. There were also no beach supplies (boogie boards, umbrella, etc) that many other units provide. Just towels and a very small cooler.
Pick it up several notches!
At the price I paid I am not impressed.

Very nice property and quiet. Close to a number of restaurants and shops. The only problem was the patio door. It was almost impossible to open so we ended up not locking it during our stay. I did call it into Vacasa. Other then that everything was good.

Nice stay, very quiet comfortable clean unit & great location. I would have given it an overall five stars. Except, the shower/tub stall drains very very slowly and we were unable to open the sliding glass door to the lanai, door handle latch jammed. But, minor inconvenience. Issues were reported to local contact for repairs. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the unit., so it didn’t impact us so much. We would return again.

Islander on the Beach #250 is an ocean front unit with an unobstructed view of the ocean.
This unit in Islander on The Beach is a great place to stay. Unobstructed oceanfront view.
Perfect! The room was spacious with everything you’d need for exploring the island. We appreciated being able to leave our sliding door open so we could enjoy the sound of the waves. It’s in a quiet area, yet you can walk to numerous shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

First of all the location was perfect. Would definitely stay at Islander on the Beach again, just not this unit - #250. Our problem was that the unit had an over whelming mildew smell. My husband, who is a new construction plumber, said he could clearly see that the air conditioning unit (outside on the lania) was completely rusted out & therefore unable to do its job of removing moisture from the air. I am fairly sure we were the first guests to stay there in several months, due to Covid, so having the unit closed up for a long period of time didn`t help matters. We tried to keep doors open whenever we were in unit and that helped a tiny bit. But any time we opened the door when we returned to the room we were assaulted with the mildew aroma. Unpleasant, and probably not healthy. If that problem were solved, I would stay here again. Great to have beach chairs & towels, small cooler onsite. Cute decor. We used poolside BBQ a couple times.Also we tried to text the rental company contact as the unit had NO internet connection, and the router was flashing bright colors all night like a disco ball, but never received any response.

Let me start by saying I woulda Ray here again, but the unit did have some minor issues. The bathtub/shower was VERY slow to drain (hours). We were given limited towels for our stay and are not allowed to use the on-site laundry facilities so that was frustrating. The view is great, literally steps from the beach. The grounds are STUNNING. The location in Kapaa across the street from the Coconut Marketplace is very convenient.

Second time we`ve stayed at the Ashton Islander. We love the central location on the Island, allowing you to explore either the North or South shore with a shorter drive, or stay local in Kapaa. The property is clean and well maintained. We love the tiki bar after dinner at Lava Lava. Decided to get a room closer to the water and 250 fit the bill. Nice ocean breeze at night to enjoy the sound of the surf. Check in and out were very simple, room was simple but clean with everything you need for your stay. Would definitely stay here again.
