When we first entered the condo (#271), we were delighted with the way the condo was decorated. It was beautifully furnished and very clean. We had stayed at Islander on the Beach hotel section last summer and the room wasn’t as pretty as this condo. The location is central to all parts of the island. There is a Wi-Fi connection for your computer. We went to the pool occasionally. The service from the condo management company was excellent. Our stay at this condo exceeded our expectations.
Sincerely,
Laraine & Bob D’Amico (July 22-July 30, 2010)

There was nothing about our recent stay in #271 that we did not like. We knew going in that it was a double and sofa bed so the size was not an issue and both were very comfortable. Also knew there was no freezer in the refrigerator but the ice machine was close by. The unit had everything you could need and we would definitely come back for a repeat visit.

Clean and neat, only drawback was the bed was a
double and not a queen. No toaster oven but micro-
oven and fidge worked fine.
Extras included a nice lanai (porch), good tv but
no time to watch. Ice chest for our trips to see
other parts of the island. Plenty of space and
couch/futon was handy.
Bad parking situation, lot just not big enough.
You MUST go to the lobby and window sticker to park
overnight and avoid being towed.
Location is great because you more or less in the
middle of driveable island. Beach is nice buy not
swimable. Management was pleasant and helpful.

The condo was perfect! It looked just like the photos. My husband and I wanted to relax and we definitely did! The condo is about a one minute walk to the beach. There are beach towels and mats for sun bathing and swimming inside the condo. Along the beach there are beach chairs provided by the Islander on the Beach!
We loved sitting outside on the lanai to eat breakfast. We were very surprised that it has a partial ocean view! The condo looked very up to date. There are granite counter tops, stainless steel refrigerator, flat screen TV and we loved the Hawaiian decor! We went shopping at Costco when we arrived on the island. We ate lunch almost every day in the condo. The condo has gas BBQ's on property so we were able to BBQ one night!
There is a little shopping mall across the parking lot. The Coconut Marketplace. They have a whole bunch of great shops for souvenirs. Make sure that you walk next door to the Beach Boy hotel and eat at the Hukilau Lanai for dinner. Their fish is very fresh and cooked to perfection!
On our last day we were there when the Tsunami warning came. Kristin the property manager warned us at 5 am to get gas in our car and try to get an earlier flight out. We are very thankful that she warned us. She made us feel very well taken care.
I would suggest this condo to everyone! Next time we go to Kauai we will stay in condo 271!
Mahalo Kristin!

My family and I had a wonderful 6-night stay at the Islander on the Beach! The first morning we woke up we walked right outside of our lanai to see the sunrise and my 6-yo son says, "Mommy, I never knew how cool Hawai'i would be!" We love the island of Kaua'i and staying here made it feel much more relaxing and like home. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends. It's affordable, comfortable, private, and everything you could ask for in condo-living.

This unit and property is a great value. Sitting on the lanai you can see the ocean. The kitchenette is great for preparing simple meals (dining out can be expensive in Kauai). The location is fairly central on the Island. The room is tastefully decorated and includes WiFi and a flat screen.

The condo was clean and the complex was well maintained. We liked being being located right on the beach, which although it is not the most popular beach area on the island, was still perfectly fine for us because it was uncrowded and quiet. We liked being able to take a long walk down the shoreline, which has some rocky areas that have small tidepools with sealife in them. We were also able to sit on the patio of the condo and have an ocean view when it was too windy to sit on the beach. The condo was tastefully decorated also. There were some places to eat and shop at within walking distance and it is located roughly halfway between the north and south areas of the island. There was only one annoying negative---the parking situation is poor, and gets worse the later you come back--after dark it just sucks.

My wife and I stayed at Unit #158 for eight days at the end of May, 2010. The unit was impeccably maintained and everything functioned as it should. The location of the unit within the complex is exceptional (only 50' +/- from the beach). The proximity to parking and shops at the Coconut Marketplace was well appreciated by my wife.
Proximity to good restaurants and the special places my wife and I have found on the island is great.
We have stayed at the Islander five times in the past ten years and this was absolutely our best experience so far, and the cost was the most reasonable of all our trips. We will stay here again.

My son and I recently stayed in Condo 158 which was just newly renovated. It's a charming condo with magnificent views. We enjoyed our stay immensely. For those staying on Kauai, this Condo is centrally located on the island and is a perfect location for all parts of the island. The condo was full of immenities which will make your stay more comfortable!

Our recent stay at Islander on the Beach Condo was exactly what we were looking for. The price was very good and the location was perfect for being able to visit the north and south shores of the island. The grounds were very well maintained and we never had any issues with noise. We were just a few steps from the ocean. Everything was exactly as it was described. I was completely satisfied. Had a great time. Thank you very much.

What a fabulous location. All you really need is right at this location. You are walking distance to shopping at the coconut market place. Walking distance to live entertainment or great dinning next door. You can walk out and rent bikes and ride the bike trail. You can sit and relax at the pool bar for a great view and refreshment. You can make your coffee and walk out onto the ocean to enjoy it. Everything is simply right out from your lanai. Hiking is all but 5 to 10 min away. Great place, charming location, simple and easy. I dont think I wouldnt need a car if I can work out a few pick ups for the hiking trails. And get a pick up from the airport.

It was a nice place, centrally located on the island of Kauai at Kapaa. There was limited parking however. It seemed that the bartender at the poolside bar at the Islander was kind of grumpy. Reasonably priced and clean. Kristin was kind enough to call us on the day of the tsunami, as we were supposed to arrive that day, and inform us of the warning.

A very good place to stay, steps from the beach.

A vary, vary good place on the East coast. from Udenhout, The Netherlands. on 12/09/2009 said:
“
We got the service we expected and needed.
The home is perfect related to the price we payed.
A coffeemaker was not available! That is a pitty.
One of the best locations on the Island of Kauai direct near the Ocean and beach.Trees near the shoreline to sit in the shade if necessary.
The best is the groundfloor level of the unit with a beautifull view on the shoreline from the Lanai.
The waves come rolling to you!
The area of the complex is nice to walk around and very quiet. Absolutly not any traffic noise at all!!!
The surrounding area has also class.
We go back sometime, but it takes 2 full days of travelling from our home in The Netherlands

We stayed for 11 nights in Condo 158 Oct/Nov.
We got a really good value for the price. The room is clean and the beds are comfortable. We really appreciated having the internet available as it made online bookings and "activity surfing" convenient and easy.
Loved the closeness of the beach, the proximity to restarants, shopping etc.
Recommendations: a couple of nice acrylic wine glasses, a cork screw, and a little bigger coffee machine for that Kauai coffee we love so much!!
Thanks for the great place to stay!

The room was exactly like the pictures. I thought that the fridge had a freezer, so I was surprised that it didn't. I just assumed, so that was my error. we made breakfast and lunches in the room and ate out for dinners. It saved us money. We had plenty of towels and necessity supplies. One suggestion would be one King size bed instead of two double beds. It would give more room for maybe a built in countertop or full kitchen. We loved the internet access, very convienent. The Aloha staff (Kristen) was great, we called her several times for assistance with a broken lock and a lost key. she was very helpful and service oriented. she was great!!!!

Kristen from Aloha Condos was very helpful and accommodating. The unit was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location was great - just a few steps to the beach. You can see the ocean from the back porch. It took some time figuring out how to control the air conditioning - would have been helpful if there was an instruction sheet. We made use of the fridge and the microwave. Glad to have cups, dishwashing liquid, sponge, and paper towel available for our use. The bath towels were soft, just like from home. I did have a visitor in the shower one day...kind of freaked me out. There was a cockroach about 2" long on the shower curtain. I guess being on the first floor, gives the critters better access to the unit. We didn't have any problems parking, but, we did come back before 8 pm every night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

I booked online easily, and got a great rate. There were no surprises as the website had lots of pictures and videos. We were delighted with how clean the condo was. Nice linens. We had a microwave and fridge which saved us a lot of money - as did the free wireless in the room.
The best part was being right on the beach. The trade winds are strong on the east side of the island and we enjoyed the tropical breezes blowing through the room. We could also walk to a lot of restaurants from Islander.
The pool is cute, and has a poolside bar.
