Beautiful property and seconds from the beach. Beautiful pool and bar area. Steps from shopping center with a variety of vendors.
Great facility, had everything we needed!! Great location and view. Could not ask for anything more.
Room had beach chairs and great view, toaster oven and mic, bed and pillows decent. Only issue was AC didn’t cool at all (evaporator coils clogged with dirt, fan not even running) so the inside unit basically blew room temp air. Floors had chips in the tile, should be replaced.
Great location, surrounded by close shopping places and close to most places of interest. Easy check in and check out.
Room was great! Beautiful view of the water. Right by the pool and walking distance to lava lava beach club. Would stay again. Great location
It was perfect for my husband and I to celebrate our 30th anniversary! The location is great! The condo is equipped with everything we needed. We had a wonderful meal at the Bull Shed. Thanks for that recommendation Jeff. The island of Kauai is absolutely beautiful!! Can’t wait to return.
Perfect location. Love seeing the ocean just outside the patio. Also love being next to the pool. Would definitely stay there again.
Loved the location and views. Beach is few steps away from the back door.
The place was great, clean and had everything we needed. Loved the Kapaa area and the beach was only a few steps from the patio. Our host, Jeff always responded to messages quickly.
The condo was great but The Roosters are out of control. They crowed all night, keeping ys awake and since the Condo is on the first floor, they bothered us anytime we sat on the Lani, like a dog begging fir food. UGH... They are nasty. I would not recommend.
My husband and I loved staying at the Aston Islander on the Beach. It’s a great location to good restaurants and shopping. We like to walk to dinner each night and this location is perfect for that. The condo was very clean, decorated nicely, and it’s stocked with everything you need for the stay here. The property grounds are beautiful and we loved being steps away from the ocean. We left the door open and listened to the crashing waves to sleep each night. The only downside was not receiving check in instructions before we got to the property. We had to wait about 30 minutes after messaging the host to get the code to get in the room. We would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Kauai!
Thus property is well cared for, clean, and right on the ocean. The mini kitchen had all that we needed including grilling tools and wine opener. It is right next to the pool area, but quiet at nught(except for the rooster).
This property offered absolutely everything we needed to enjoy our stay in beautiful Kauai. The views were absolutely amazing, and falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean waves was incredible. AC worked great, and the bed was the most comfortable that we've experienced at the Aston Islander on the beach. The pool was just a few steps away. The room was clean and well maintained. The location is perfect, as there is a fantastic selection of restaurants within walking distance. The local market is awesome, with deli food that rivals many locations on the island. We will definitely stay here again if it's available for our next trip!
Loved our stay except for the hum of the pool equipment along with a gas smell off and on next to the lanai.
Most important for me was the BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean from the room/patio; literally steps away from the beach with gorgeous sunrise/sunset views. The beach isn’t crowded & there are lounge chairs scattered about for anyone to use. There are many shops/restaurants in walking distance behind the condo, including a grocery store; very convenient. 10/10 for location. The room itself is very basic & a bit outdated. A few changes could make this a much better stay for guests such as nicer towels & some basic kitchen amenities. The kitchenette has a fridge, microwave & toaster oven but no utensils, plates/glasses of any kind. But overall I was in Kauai for the scenery & did not spend much time in the room other than to sleep/shower.
We had a miss communication with our host before arriving. Once we made contact with our host he was able to get us into the room and contact someone to have it cleaned for us. Since we were unable to use our room we went for supper and they were nice enough to give us credit for our meal for the mixup, which was very nice. The facility was beautiful and we were right on the ocean. It was a great place to stay and I would consider return if we are ever come back to Kauai.
We could not have asked for a better place to stay. It was clean and well furnished. We were not needing a full kitchen so this was perfect for us - the small fridge and toaster were all we needed. The location was perfect to get anywhere on the island - and such a beautiful island it is!
No complaints! Was amazing
Loved the room. But the drawers in the dresser were full of sand. There was only one partially used roll of toilet paper and no extra bags for the garbage can. I had to go to the front desk and beg for extra. Also nothing explained how to use the remote for the tv. My sister rented a room from a different company and they had a nice welcome package. Coffee, some chocolate covered macadamia nuts, a couple of granola bars, and some cookies that was extra special.
Location was fantastic. Walk 20 yards from your lanai to the beach. Perfect for a couple, not good for any more than that. A couple drawbacks to the property.
1. Parking, or the lack thereof. They say parking is first come first served, which is another way of saying there's not enough parking for everyone. If you come back after 7:30 or so, expect to park on the street outside. It can be a long walk to the condo from where you parked.
2. No utensils of any kind. Not a fork, spoon, knife, bottle opener, spatula. There are cups and plates, coffee maker, microwave and toaster oven, but nothing to stir your coffee or put cream cheese on a bagel . You can use the grill, but only if you're ok with turning your steak with your bare hands. We weren't expecting a full kitchen, but it would have been nice to be able to stir my morning coffee.
Not necessarily a problem, just think it's information that's useful
Enjoyed the views from the patio
The unit is right on the beach and next to the pool. We did not hear any noise from the pool while in the unit. However, the unit itself is very tired and in need of upgades. Both my husband and myself were initially disappointed when we entered the unit. But it was fine. Beware of the bed height if you are short - it is very tall. I am around 5'3" and had difficulty getting in and out of bed.
Great property had everything we needed. Enjoyed our stay!! Most relaxing.
It was amazing, beautiful, well-kept, and quiet. We will definitely coming back. We had a great host too!
Very nice location. Clean and well-appointed studio unit. We highly recommend, and we'll be happy to stay again. Very comfortable. Thanks Jeff! Aloha!
This was the perfect place for us! The location is perfect being right by the beach. Would definetly stay here again!
This is a long review (because I like reading long reviews)--for those who prefer short reviews--one of the best stays we've had on Kauai.
Now for the longer review:
LOCATION is perfect--just minutes from the airport, centrally located and even walking distance to the uber-ABC store (iHawaii-veterans-you know about ABC stores) and other nearby stores. Only downside is turning LEFT onto the highway.
FACILITY is great. NO ELEVATORS, so nice that this is a first floor room. Facility staff were pleasant though you have only limited reason to interact with them.
ROOM (yes, this is a hotel-style room) was spic-and-span clean; bed was super-comfy and you open the patio door to a perfectly manicured lawn and THE OCEAN. The only downside is you need to pull the blinds for privacy (2nd and 3rd floor rooms have a little more privacy). Pool is immediately adjacent, but you have to go out the front door or walk around--you can hear the pool crowd (not necessariliy a bad thing). Pool closed at sunset during our stay due to an issue with the pool lighting, so not sure if the pool-crowd would be more of an issue at night. Sleeping is DELIGHTFUL to the sound of the ocean if you leave the patio door open.
Remember, it's a hotel room, so "kitchen" is limited, but plenty of utensils (hint, two drawers BENEATH the cabinets). Dorm-style refrigerator kept everything super-cold and the resort has TWO ice machines.
PARKING was easy-breezy (not always the case on Kauai).
Lovely to have beach front view. Walking distance to ABC store. Stated had been recently remodelled but couldn't see it. Kitchenette tiny, which made it a challenge to prepare food. BBQ is by the pool not on the outside area of the property. No kitchen sink plug. Vertical blinds clanged at night due to proximity to air-conditioning. Would be helpful to have instructions on how to use TV remote. We are not familiar with Spectrum so had difficulty using it. Felt some references to what the property offered was a little misleading. Read what is included carefully.
