A little piece of heaven!

“ My husband, our 11 year old, and I stayed in Condo 158 and loved it. The unit was clean and had everything we needed to make our vacation complete. The atmosphere at Islander is fantastic. Everyone is friendly, and if you need an extra place to escape to read a good book, the open lobby area is the perfect place to relax on comfortable furniture while listening to both music and ocean waves. The hot tub/pool area is an added bonus for everyone as it was never crowded. The condo was a little snug for 3 of us and could use a little more kitchen counter space, but we didn't go to Hawaii to stay in the condo, so it worked out just fine. We really felt like we were welcome guests in a friend's home. ”

Islander on the Beach Condo 158

Overall rating:
Paul H. from Columbus, OH on 11/05/2011 said:

“ Stayed in Condo 158 Oct 19-27. Perfect location and amenities for an excellent vacation. Unit was clean and in good location. We watched the sunrise each day from our lanai or beach. Kitchenette great for simple meals. Pool is great, stays cool since 8 Ft. on deeep end (poolside bar open till 10 each night). Nicely kept grounds and lawn areas. Easy to walk (Cocuonut Marketplace shopping center right behind condo) or short ride to grocery, farmers market, local restaurants or even a twice weekly hula show. A perfect central location to explore Kauai while not giving up convenience of restaurants, shopping and activites. From reserveration online to checkout, a smooth and easy, proffessional process making an exceptional vacation even better. ”

Small, but nice and a great location

agent86 from Salt Lake City, UT on 10/13/2011 said:

“ We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was great. It was basically the size of a hotel room with a kitchenette crammed in, but it worked well for the two of us...not sure I could handle it with 4 people there. The unit was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. The ocean is visible from the lanai and it was nice to sit outside in the mornings and watch it or walk over and sit in the many chairs that were on the beach. It's right by the coconut marketplace and some of the best Shave Ice on the island (according to Kauai Revealed). Everything else in Kapaa is just a short drive away. One thing that was an issue was parking. There is not near enough parking for the units and if we got back any later than 6pm, we had to park on the road or in the parking lot next door. It wasn't a bad walk, but it was annoying when we got there the first night after dark and had to drive all over looking for parking. We didn't use the pool or other facilities, but they looked nice. Enjoy! ”

Perfect quiet getaway location

Overall rating:
Matt SB from Santa Barbara, CA on 09/16/2011 said:

“ We stayed at Islander on the Beach condo 158 for our honeymoon. I've been to Kauai three other times and know the area well. I would highly recommend Islander on the beach, especially for someone looking for a convenient location on the east side of the island, and more-so for anyone looking for a quiet and less touristy accommodation - perfect for a honeymoon. The unit was very clean and well stocked with all the essentials as well as some nice unexpected extras for the beach, kitchen, and laundry. It's much nicer than staying in a hotel where you feel like you're surrounded by other people sharing the same amenities. The management staff was also very pleasant and helpful, with check-in & check-out a breeze. I forgot some important personal belongings in the room when departing and the management company collected them and mailed them to me without hassle. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience! ”

We didn't spend excessive amounts of time in the room because we were busy seeing the island. The location is great and centrally located. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The beach towels, mats and styro-foam cooler was nice to have. ”

Len from San Pedro, CA on 05/26/2011 said:

“ Great value, location, and amenities! Condo is situated in the middle of the island. So, it make is easy to drive half of the island one day and the other half the next day...Then you could easily get to any spot on the island from this location. Value of the condo was great...You get a little kitchenette with a microwave, sink and fridge...It doesn't have a stove/oven, but there are BBQ at the pool area where you can Q up some good grinds if choose to. The pool is open till 10pm and the pool bar is open till 9pm...The thing about Kauai is that shops close up early, so the pool is a good place to unwind after a funfilled day of activities (surfing, site seeing, hiking, kayaking/paddleboarding along the rivers and etc.)! ”

Beautiful studio, fantastic location

Overall rating:
christyduane from Oklahoma on 03/24/2011 said:

“ It's always a little nerve racking to book a room based on photos from thousands of miles away (Oklahoma) but this studio condo was perfect for our needs. The room was bright, clean and well decorated. The lanai opens to the beach and the pool, both which are just steps away. The bathroom is much larger than it appears in the photos. We arrived late in the evening (around 9pm) and had to unload our luggage at the curb and it felt as though we were putting the front desk folks out by asking them how to get to our unit. We received no assistance with a luggage cart as "they were locked up for the evening". I think is more the resorts issue and not who we rented the unit through and on another hand, front desk lady could have just been having a really bad day. The laundry room hours were a bit modest in my opinion, 8am - 10pm - no one wants to do their laundry during daylight hours while in Kauai! - Other than that, it was the perfect vacation. The other vacationers were pleasant, met a few at the designated smoking area and at the pool. We received a fantastic welcome bag on our door the first morning full of goodies, a very nice touch! Room was absolutely perfect. I couldn't have planned a better visit! ”

All the modern comforts of home in one small room

kk from Seattle, WA on 01/22/2011 said:

“ We stayed in 158 after a few nights in less than accommodations (hostel and hotels), so it was nice to have a large comfortable bed, TV/internet and bathroom with the softest bath mates I've ever stepped on! A lot crammed into a small space, not in a bad way, but I couldn't image sharing the condo with 4 people. Perfect for a couple, very comfortable with the modern technologies. The kitchenette served it's purpose and a couple we met at the pool were jealous we had a blender, which came in handy. The location of the room itself made it easy to walk to beach, pool, and parking and not deal with stairs. ”

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. ”

Pammywhammy from Mentor, Ohio, USA on 06/18/2010 said:

“ 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. ”

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. ”

“ 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. Mary ”

“ 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 ”

Kauai happy from West Linn, Oregon on 10/29/2009 said:

“ 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!!!! ”

Hawaii50 from Hartford, Connecticut on 10/14/2009 said:

“ 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. ”

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. ”

“ Wow! Where to begin? Brevity is the soul of wit, they say, so I say this - stay here. You will not regret it. The pictures do not come close to capturing the ocean view, and you will sleep to the sound of the surf all night long. There were supplies everywhere - from salt, ziplocks and sugar to shopping bags. You will feel welcome, you will feel relaxed, you will be pleased at the cleanliness, you will feel at home, you will be happy. I would move here. (Practically, I will note that if your family is physically larger than two adults and either one more adult or two children it'll be too small. It was perfect for our family of three.) I can't wait to go back! Mahalo! ”

Jocye B. from CA on 12/04/2011 said:

“ We recently travled to Kauai (Nov 2011) and stayed for a week in #224. The room was exactly as pictured on their website and very clean. We were welcomed with a gift bag containing a box a chocolate covered macademia nuts, cookies, a tote bag and a couple of other things. It was waiting on the table for us in the room. The kitchen cupboard had a variety of things not usually found in a condo - storage baggies, tin foil, sugar, paper plates, etc. My husband loved starting each day on the lanai as the day awoke. The view is just awesome! The people who manage the room were so nice - within an hour of arriving, we had locked ourselves out of the room and someone had to come to let us back in. The lady who came was so nice about everything even though it had interrupted her evening. We enjoyed comraderie at the pool bar during happy hour a couple of afternoons. The grounds are well kept up and the staff very friendly. I would definitely recommend this resort and this room in particular! - Joyce B. ”

Incredible Value in Kauai

Sue Gernaey from Seal Beach Ca. on 08/26/2011 said:

“ We just returned from a week at Islander on the Beach Condo #224. I felt it was an incredible value for a beach front property. The room was clean and well furnished with a microwave, toaster oven, fridge and coffee maker, and kitchen necessities. Also included were beach chairs and a cooler bag. I loved sitting on the lanai or on the uncrowded beach (on property provided lounge chairs) reading. The only negative might be that the water is quite rough so children would probably not be able to ocean swim. But the pool with poolside bar was lovely and never crowded. The property was also conveniently located between the North Shore and Popiu Beach. I would definitely return to this property and recommend it to friends looking for a great Kauai value. ”

This studio has refrig., microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker, utensils, plates, cups, coffee cups, wine glasses, for 4. Sharp knives, can opener, cutting board & wine opener. Iron, board & hair dryer. P. towels, t. tissue, dish soap, sponge, & toiletries. Towels are thick & soft. 2 beach/pool towels. The bed/linens were very comfortable. There is free wireless internet in this room! Sofa opens to full size bed & table w/2 chairs. Also a table w/2 chairs on the lanai. Bathroom is very good size w/a curved shower rod. The hot water was excellent! Stairs to 2nd floor not bad. Ice machine close by. Air conditioning was great, we cut it off 1/2 the time ast was not needed. This is not a resort with numerous amenities. We weren't looking for that. There is a pool, hot tub, gas grills, beach chairs, poolside bar. The beach is not a swimming beach though we did see people out there. Beach chairs are scattered along the beach area. There is a laundry on site. Parking is an issue at night, security assists you. We went to front desk for parking pass as instructed by security & got that w/no hassle, though we weren't checking in thru aston. Grounds are beautiful & well kept. It is quiet here. We saw a monk seal on the beach 1st morning here! Marketplace is across the parking lot w/restaurants & shops. Grocery stores, drug store, etc., are about a mile away, left side of the hwy. Wal-mart 15 minutes away in Lihue. Location was ideal for us. Is central to the island & made it easier to drive one day all the way north & one day all the way south. Be aware front desk not willing to help you w/anything as they only work w/those who rented through aston. If you are looking for a laid back place w/out posh amenities with great views at a great price, this is it! ”

The condo was right in the middle of the island and very close to the airport, shopping and activities. We will be back every year. The rate was great and the view for the rate mad us feel rich! It was beach front alright. The coconut markplace had great food and was within walking distance. Recommend going to the store and getting drinks and food items. the condo have a coffee maker, fridge, microwave and a toaster oven. We saved a lot of money by cooking breakfast and lunches. Then we got to sit out on the patio, eat and listen to the ocean waves. The bathroom had a blow dryer too which was good because I left mine at home by mistake!!!

Condo 225 Beach Islander Resort from Canada on 09/01/2011 said:

“ The condo is very well located, but was not very clean. I saw 2 cockroaches during our stay. The bed cover and blanket would need to be replaced. The curtains were not clean and the rail system was broken. The chairs and the couch were stained. It's a shame because the resort was really good. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your candid review. The homeowners have since replaced the rail system that had suffered from the constant salt and wind, and we have cleaned the drapes as well. The sofa and chairs will be steam cleaned November 8th. As for the comforter and blanket: both are brand new, so Im not sure why the suggestion was made they be replaced. I apologize for the roaches. They are one of the downsides of paradise. We keep bait traps in the units for them, but it is impossible to avoid them completely in the tropics. I hope you will return to our wonderful island and to Islander on the Beach again. ”

“ We can't stop thinking about our recent visit to Kauai and stay at the Islander Condo 225. It was perfect for our family. The place was absolutely what we needed. Every day we could chill at the end of our outings (snorkeling, boat/raft trip along Na'Pali coast, hiking, boogie boarding, etc.)and love where we were staying. Nice landscaping, great "open-air" lobby where we went to get our emails, etc. wood floors, ceiling fan, relaxing and pretty decor, great pool and hot tub, tiki torches at night, drinks by the pool, and best of all, our view--straight out to the ocean. Mornings breakfast on the balcony, sometimes dinner/take-out at night, too. The moon right there over the water, or a rainbow after a rain. There are loungers down by the water's edge, too. The kitchen is great, plates silverware, bowls, blender, s & p, coffee filters and machine, microwave, frig. We had breakfast at home and two dinners at home (Bbq's are by pool). The only suggestion would be to have one more place for towels to dry out during the day. There were four of us, and two towels/day, without any kind of maid/laundry because it's not a "hotel" in our unit. With us using towels at the pool and our own at the beach, one more hanging bar in the BR would be good. The beds are good (and I'm very picky), pillows perfect. I want to return here and stay at the same condo. Love it. This was the best vacation I've had in ages. Love Kauai, too. Not a single big city, the whole island is gorgeous. ”

Deirdre from Oshkosh, Wisconsin on 04/03/2011 said:

“ We stayed here for four nights in March 2011. The location of the condo is perfect. It is just steps from the ocean and we left the patio doors open at night to listen to the waves. We had some excitement with a tsunami warning after the Japanese earthquake, but first Kristen let us know, and then someone from the management knocked on the door to let us know we should evacuate and explained where to go. The condo is about the size of a hotel room, but with the small kitchen and the balcony, there was more than enough room. There is a great restaurant within a very short walking distance, and the little town of Kapa'a is a short drive, is a charming small town, and has everything you need. Being on the eastern shore was the perfect location for us, as it was easy to drive to all other parts of the island, and was a quick drive to the airport the morning we left. All in all, I highly recommend this condo. ”

Was overpriced for the unit.

Deanne from Traverse City on 02/21/2011 said:

“ Nice location and size. The unit was very musty smelling and was very wet feeling in there. Was so humid we had to sleep on towels the sheets felt wet. The TV was very hard to see. We only wanted to watch the news. I would recommend to a friend only if the price was lowered. ”

Manager response:

“ We are sorry you were not comfortable and wish we had known at the time.

This condo is absolute ocean front with wonderful tropical sea breezes when we have trade winds, however things in Hawaii get very humid when we have Kona conditions, which we have had the past few weeks, and that brings on dampness and mustiness very quickly. You really cant get closer to the ocean than this unit, so it is impossible to keep it absolutely dry.

That said, a brand new air conditioning system was installed a month ago which has a dehumidifier cycle as one of the key functions. We would have been happy to assist with the dampness issue had we known you were uncomfortable. The air conditioner manual is also in the condo.

I was in this unit yesterday and did not notice any mustiness, so I think recent use of the air conditioner and the return of the trade winds dried the unit out. I will examine the TV to see if the salt air has shortened its life span.

Comfortable & Relaxing Ocean Front Vacation

Overall rating:
Love Kauai from Colorado Springs, CO on 01/11/2011 said:

“ The condo was very clean and nicely furnished, the bed comfortable and the kitchenette was sufficient for the amount of eating in we did. The ocean front location was outstanding and convenient for nearby shops. We enjoyed the sunrise each morning and with a 2nd floor unit, felt secure leaving the door open at night for the fresh ocean air and sounds. The Bbqs and tables near the pool allowed us the opportunity to invite guests over with plenty of space. Having previously lived on Kauai for more than 10 years and running a service business, we have been in numerous rental properties and were pleased with Islander #225. We most definitely recommend this unit for location, comfort and price. ”

Solo Gal from Santa Cruz, CA on 01/03/2012 said:

“ I found this condo to be lovely, private, and very clean. Linens, towels, shampoo, etc are luxurious. The decor was very pretty, with lots of nice details. I was thrilled to hear and see the waves 24/7. There were Humpback Whales just offshore for three days, and I watched a Monk Seal come ashore one day! The kitchenette is very well stocked with dishes, utensils and appliances, and is as close as you can get to having a real kitchen without a stove. I found plenty of coffee filters and paper towels, sugar, creamer, tea, etc. as well as a four-day supply of coffee. (This is very unusual for rentals, in my experience.) The Islander has security on duty all the time, which was important to me as a woman traveling alone. The few complaints I have are things that are not under the owner's control. One is the front door. I'm rather petite, and I struggled with it because it's heavy and difficult to open and hold - too much tension in the self-closing mechanism. Also, no elevators. That was okay for me, but if you have trouble with stairs I can't recommend the Islander. All my dealings with aloha Condos were efficient, professional and friendly. ”

“ The condo looked exactly like the photos - very neat and clean with many special touches such as the island music CD, beach chairs, room safe and even a boogie board. The frig (no freezer), toaster and coffee maker enabled us to enjoy breakfast on our balcony every morning while watching the sun rise and listening to the waves. We especially appreciated the option for early check-in and late check-out given our flight schedules. We took advantage of the on-site laundry since we'd spent 10 days on the Big Island prior to our visit. The facilities were very clean and worked great. You are not close enough to walk downtown, but there are a few restaurants within walking distance. We would recommend Islander on the Beach Condo 250 to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax. ”

The location was perfect being mid-island, and the condo had everything I needed for my stay. It was great having wireless internet in the room, and not having to go to the lobby. The lanai was a great spot to sit in the robes they supplied and watch the sunrises over the ocean every morning while I enjoyed the Hawaiian coffee.

Everything in the condo was new, clean and exactly as promised. We loved the fact that there were beach chairs and towels and having a safe in the room to lock our valuables was perfect. The kitchen although small had all the amenities that we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the pool & hot tub everyday as well as a few drinks at the poolside bar. During our stay we were lucky enough to have K-13 (one of Kauai's monk seal population) come up on the beach for a nap right outside the condo. It was truly magical. Hopefully you will be as lucky. I have no hesitation recommending this property. ”

Kristen was wonderful in the reservation process, answering questions and following up even before our arrival, as well as helping us with some details on our "move-in" day. The unit itself is perfect for relaxing, I loved having coffee and breakfast on our ocean-front lanai every morning before we went off on another Kauai adventure! The free wi-fi was soo much nicer than having to go to the lobby to access the internet. At the end of the day, it was wonderful to lay down in the comfortable king sized bed with luxury linens, and listen to the waves all night long. The condo is set up with everything we needed, including beach towels for our snorkeling days, and low back chairs (especially handy for watching fireworks on the fourth of July). It is close to many restaurants, and Foodland (the best grocery I went to on our visit) is only a few blocks away. I only wish we could have stayed longer...maybe we'll just have to come back! ”

The location of the resort is perfect. It is right in the middle of the island for easy trips north or south. Do not miss Wiamea Canyon or Kee Beach during your trip. Having Coconut Marketplace next to the resort was great because we could walk over for breakfast, lunch or dinners. Overall I can't think of anything that would have made this trip or condo any better. It is not the St Regis and we weren't expecting it to be. It was a great resort with a nice pool bar. ”

It's really just a hotel room, and not a huge one. I've stayed at many hotels, mostly chain hotels, and had much larger "ordinary" hotel rooms than this was. It was clean and comfortable, but we didn't really have a place to put our suitcases. The closet was hard to use for clothes because it is used to store several items for use by the room guests (ironing board, boogie board, blankets, etc. A nice hotel room, just not a condo. ”

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.

“ What a great condo! It is so much nicer than the photos! The view of the ocean is incredible and very private (some rooms have a bike path or other path right in front of them with people on it at all hours). The room was extremely clean and it is evident that much effort has gone into decorating and furnishing the room, as well as keeping the furnishings and room clean. Everywhere you look in the room, there is some cute little decorator touch. Much of the artwork appears to be original photos, which were very interesting. The bath towels were soft and thick and the organic toiletries wonderful. Just as advertised, the bed linens were smooth and soft and I had the best sleep listening to the ocean. The little kitchenette was well stocked with colorful and useful items. Truly appreciated the spa robe for snuggling in after a shower (and for sitting in on the lanai early in the morning). Was delighted to have coffee for every night of stay (some rentals do not give coffee and you need to purchase a bag). Other great items were beach towels, beach chairs with built in coolers, boogie board, and the welcoming gift bag. I enjoyed reading the guest comment books to learn about places on island to visit. A great stay and I will be going back. Booking was easy and check in was a breeze. Kristen at aloha Condos makes sure that nothing goes wrong! Overall assessment: ONO! ”
