The overall condo condition was good. The bathrooms and kitchen had been updated and nicely equipped. There was newer furniture throughout. The building itself has issues. Primary bedroom view window has a broken seal causing it to look hazy and did not have a screen. The millwork, doors and floors were tired and mismatched. My biggest issue is the pictures in the listing are not reflective of the current construction taking place on the property before the ocean views….there is no longer green grass but dirt and big machines. There is a construction notice buried deep in the listing that is easy to miss.

This is a beautiful property that is well maintained, in an exceptional location. It is stocked with everything you may need and was immaculate.. The management company was very pleasant to deal with and very accommodating.

We’re a family of four who stayed here for 7 nights in August 2024. Overall, the condo was very good.
What we liked:
- Location and View: Stunning sunrises and sunsets on the southernmost point of Kauai. Sunrises from the lanai were spectacular. The nearby lava rocks offered great views of the sunsets and waves.
- Amenities: Included 4 beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas (1 was broken), a backpack cooler, and basic toiletries.
- Interior: Spacious and comfortable for a family of 4. Upstairs bedrooms were roomy, and the A/C units, though noisy, kept the rooms cool. Downstairs was adequately cooled by opening the sliding door and using the ceiling fan. The master bedroom bed was especially comfortable.
- Parking: Conveniently close to the unit with ample parking spots. Two flights of stairs to the front door were manageable.
- Check-in: We were provided clear instructions via email for checking in, which included a code to access the physical key in the lock box. Couldn't have been any smoother.
What could’ve been better:
- Dated Interior: The condo felt a bit outdated compared to the pictures. Some wear and tear was evident, but not a major issue.
- Construction: Ongoing construction next to the property affected the view and created noise, particularly on weekdays. It’s best to plan outings in the morning to avoid this.
- Minor Details: Not enough bath towels and the hand soap was too watery.
Overall, we were happy with the condo and would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I decided to take one last vacation just her and I before we had our baby, and really enjoyed our stay! It rained 4 out of the 7 days we were there, so we spent a lot of time inside the condo. The layout was nice, and the views are beautiful, even despite the construction. The construction didn’t bother us at all. Certain portions of the unit had been remodeled, but the unit was still fairly outdated, which you can’t see in the listing pictures. That aside we would definitely stay here again! The AC unit in the bedroom was an absolute life saver for my pregnant wife! The downstairs got a little warm at times but it wasn’t an issue. The location of this condo being just minutes of walking distance to go watch the waves crash is incredible! We would definitely recommend anyone stay here!

Communication was excellent and the location was nice along a coastal walk. The winds in the area create a dusty film on the windows and at present (April 2024) the views don’t look like the photo. There is active construction going on (as mentioned in listing but not shown) so you see see buildings going up between you and the ocean.

Beautiful view and right on the oceanside trail. There is construction in the next lot but it was only noisy one day.

This property was perfect for our stay! It had everything we needed; plus an amazing view from the balcony! The few times I contacted the rental company they were very responsive and helpful. I would absolutely rent here again!
