Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay April 2026
“Great location and great host!.”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay April 2026
“Kathy’s place was in an excellent location. It was walkable to many stores and restaurants. The resort had a beautiful pool that includes a pool bar. My husband and I also enjoyed the lanai, we watched the waves, looked at the beautiful gardens, and laughed at the chickens.”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay April 2026
“Beautiful view, comfortable place, host was great! Highly recommend!”
Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay April 2026
“What a wonderful place to stay! The location is simply the best–Kapaa is central to all Kauai locations because it’s relatively near the airport, between the popular Poipu and Hanalai areas. You can make your day trips fun and easy. The condo is Oceanfront! The pathway between the beach and the condo leads you right along the ocean and along other condos, hotels, retreats, and great scenery. The room is amongst lush gardens and beautiful pathways. The pool area is one of the best — nice seating, private but oceanside, BBQ grills, an awesome bar with creative drinks, and happy hour. We could not have been happier with this choice. Also, you can walk to the Coconut marketplace, and everything you need is right there–restaurants, cafe, shopping, all amenities you can think of. This is the best place to stay!”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay April 2026

The location is perfect for excursions to the north, south, or even west. Ample parking space is available. Communication with the host was quick and efficient. Highly recommend this place.”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay April 2026
“This place the most easiest place to stay, from checking in to checking out. For the price of what we paid for the place it was worth it and I would recommend this place to people due to it being in a central area.”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay April 2026
“Convenient and close to the air port. Came for work.”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay April 2026
“A perfect vacation! Kathy was always helpful and communicative. The unit had a wonderful view of the ocean with the Kava Lava Beach Club restaurant just a few steps away. Coconut Marketplace is similarly just steps away with great food (the chicken at Chicken in a Barrel was amazing; the sea bass at Coconut Thai fabulous). Had a great dinner at the restaurant at Kauai Resort next door. Weather was perfect – just missed a Kona low :) Thanks, Kathy!!”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay March – April 2026
“I loved my one week stay, although it was not long enough. The bike path, nearby restaurants within walking distance, and the view from the lanai were superb. The bed was sheer heaven, and as always, the sound of the ocean right outside was so relaxing and therapeutic. The room was clean and all was so lovely that I did not want to leave and cannot wait to come back!”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay March – April 2026
“What a beautiful spot! I would like to come back again.”

Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay March – April 2026
“My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was just perfect! Between the 10 second walk to the beach, close to restaurants and shopping, easy parking for our rent a car, 10 min drive from the airport, and having an ABC store close by made it super easy so we could spend more time relaxing. The host Kathy was SUPER responsive and helped us with any questions we had. Will definitely be staying here again, thanks for the memories :)”

Islander on the Beach 356 – Guest Stay March 2026
“Great location! Easy to get to either side of the island in a reasonable amount of time. In walking distance to some great restaurants and beautiful beach. Great walking path right by the ocean that my husband and I walked every morning. Room is just like the pictures and description. Nothing fancy but is a place to lay your head after a day at the beach.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay March 2026
“Great base to explore the island! Wonderful views from the lanai and loved falling asleep to the sound of waves. Comfy bed and amenities as described. Pool and hot tub were nice and the grounds were beautifully maintained. Would recommend!”

Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay March 2026
“We loved our stay at Kathy’s place. beautiful ocean view, better than the photos on the listing. A great middle point to stay, between all of the things you want to do while visiting Kauai. Very close to the sleeping giant if that is something you are interested in doing. Great restaurants in SHORT walking distance!”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay March 2026
“Everything was exactly as described. On top of what others already mentioned, I’ll add the blackout curtains, which worked well, and the ocean-facing window/door, which had good sound insulation. Both things helped with sleep quality.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay March 2026
“We had an excellent stay at Kathy’s place. The location was perfect – right on the beach and walking distance from great restaurants and shops! She was also very communicative and was flexible on checkout which was super appreciated!”

Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay March 2026
“We had a great time at Islander on the Beach! The unit doesn’t offer a ton in the way of amenities (compared to a resort of what have you) but the simplicity was reflected in the very, very reasonable rates. If you need a home base for a week of adventures on Kaua’i, this is centrally located and lovely.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay March 2026
“Great condo in the ideal location for us. Unit was clean, compact with a full kitchen, roomy lanai, and ocean views. We were pleased with beach access and had the wind been different, we would have swam right in front of the property. Kathy’s team was super responsive and details were timely and accurate. Property staff were friendly and outgoing. We prefer to stay IN a community, rather than a gated, walled-off resort, so we liked the unpretentious vibe of this property. Would definitely stay here again!”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay March 2026
“The best part is we were in an oceanfront unit so our balcony made it just like we were at the beach. There are plenty of little shops nearby so we did not rent a car and were able to get anything we needed. Very relaxing nice trip. Unit was comfortable and clean.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay March 2026
“This ocean front studio was as advertised! We loved the Perfect location with great dining options close by. Kapaa is on the east coast so about half way between north and south shore beaches and attractions. Would stay again if we get back to Kauai.”

Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay March 2026
“The location was great and central to most places on the island so you didn’t have to spend a ton of time in a car to get places. The host was responsive and quickly fixed one small problem we had. There are beautiful ocean views from the balcony and it was very peaceful. The condo is right on the beach where there is a paved walking trail. The pool and hot tub were very nice and there is a pool bar with happy hour from 3-6. The marketplace was very convenient with lots of restaurant options. I would recommend staying here to others but I would also stay here again. This condo was perfect for what we needed.”

“We had a wonderful stay on Kauai and would always come back.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay March 2026

Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay February 2026
“The view from this Airbnb is unmatched and it’s in an amazing location. Especially after a late flight, this was only approximately 12 minutes away from the airport and it was easy to get to. Being able to hear and watch the ocean from this suite was the highlight. There were also lots of food options near the resort and perfectly situated to go north and south. Especially if you’re doing a napali coast tour starting from the south. You won’t need to wake up as early as you would if you were staying in the north. Lastly, thankful for Kathy and her amazing team on being so responsive and accommodating to our last minute situation.”
Plantation Hale G7 – Guest Stay February 2026
“Couldn’t have asked for a better place on the island gorgeous beaches steps away. The house has everything one needs to come home and relax after a day at the beach. The kitchen is well equipped. Steps away from shops and restaurants.”

Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay February 2026

“Great views, very peaceful area.”
Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay February 2026
“You cannot beat this location! This unit sits Oceanside and steps away from the Lava Lava Beach Club, shopping and the Kapa’a bike path. The unit was as described and a perfect blend of efficiency and Hawaiian vacation vibes! The facility has a nice jacuzzi, pool bar and social locations. The location in the island was so convenient, a great jumping off point for any activities you want. My favorite though was stepping outside and having coffee sitting on a lounge chair on the beach 15 steps from the room!”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay February 2026

“Absolutely loved this place! Couldn’t have been in a better location right on the beach with the ocean breeze and waves waking you up every morning. It was so peaceful and exactly what we needed! I would definitely come back. The area is very walkable, the little marketplace has pretty much anything you could want. A short walk even further brings you to some other restaurants as well. There is a walking path next to the water that was very nice to explore. In person was better than the photos!”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay February 2026
“Kathy is a great host, communicated very well and provided all the details prior to our visit. The place was amazing and in one of the best spots next to the beach. Highly recommend!!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay February 2026
“Location! Being right on the waterfront was everything we hoped it would be, able to walk right down to the ocean, and also an easy walk to shops. The lush surroundings gave us all the tropical vibes we were hoping for. We had a lot of rain during our stay but with the deep covered patio we were still able to sit outdoors and enjoy our surroundings. We had an issue with the dishwasher and when we notified the owner she sent someone immediately to fix it. She was also generous with recommendations when I told her we wanted a special breakfast spot. This place isn’t fancy, but it was as represented and there were no surprises. The central location made it easy to visit other parts of the island. The pool area looked nice although rain kept us from using it. There was always a place to park which was great. Lots of chickens! Although small, it was well-designed with room to put suitcases under the bed and lots of wall hooks; everything we needed to cook. We would stay here again.”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay February 2026
“We had a great stay and enjoyed the location and being able to sit outside to take in the ocean. The marketplace across the street is very convenient to run and pick up any items such as snacks and water. A few walkable restaurants. We decided to stay in Kapaa because it was very central to all our planned activities.”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay February 2026

Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay February 2026
“Very nice place. Short walk to the beach. There is a foot wash by the stairs to wash off sand. Household is well equipped. close to grocery stores and restaurants. Also close to Turo pickup and drop-off. I needed to extend my stay for a few more days. It was very easy. Thankyou.”
Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay February 2026
“Such a great space! The area is beautiful and central with the coconut market and the main town of Kapaa only a mile and a half away! The ocean was right outside our balcony and so close with a great quiet beach! The hot tub and pool were also so nice to have! We did not have a car and yet had so many things to do and eat in the surrounding area! The host was very friendly and responsive, would definitely stay here again!”
Islander on the Beach 242 – Guest Stay February 2026
“The place was wonderful and is as described. The information provided about local restaurants, attraction and beaches were extremely helpful!”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay January – February 2026
“This Airbnb was a dream! We had beach access just steps from our back door, which was the best part. The location is unbeatable. There’s an entire shopping center right there w/ shops, shaved ice, hula lessons, restaurants, a grocery store, and even a pool w/ bar service, a hot tub, & beach chairs available for relaxing days in the sun. There’s also a coffee shop nearby, & the Airbnb itself had every amenity we could possibly need. Honestly, you wouldn’t even have to leave the area if you didn’t want to everything is right there. We stayed on the east side of the island, & after a lot of debating while planning our trip, I can confidently say this is the best side to stay on. You’re close to the airport & perfectly positioned between the north & south shores, making it easy to explore the whole island. The space was comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully set up for guests. We would absolutely stay here again. Cherry on top was Kathy- our host. So kind, flexible, and available.”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay January – February 2026
“This was absolutely perfect for my short stay. I appreciated that I could set my own (easier to remember!) door code. The location was central to all the things I wanted to do while being peaceful and relaxing when I had a quiet afternoon. Would definitely book again.”

“Would stay again!”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay January 2026
“This was our first time to Kauai, and we absolutely loved it! The location of our apartment was perfect! Halfway up the east coast, nothing was very far away, and we could easily drive to all the places we wanted to see. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean waves was magical! We would absolutely come again!”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay January 2026

Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay January 2026

Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay January 2026
“We had a great stay at the condo. We really enjoyed the view and the short walk to the beach. We appreciated the table and chairs on the patio so that we could watch the sunrise in the morning and relax outside any time during the day. Kind of a unique spot in the complex … views of the ocean, but tucked away for a little more privacy. The bed was comfy and the unit had everything we needed.”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay January 2026
“Great location and great price!”

Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay January 2026
“Beautiful oceanfront location just feet from a very quiet beach. Very ideal location between the beach and a number of restaurants, bars, grocery store and shops. The unit was clean and quaint with a nice private balcony with unobstructed ocean views. Tons of food and shopping options under 5 minute walk, including Lava Lava Beach Club which is directly next to the unit. We would stay again and recommend this unit for its great location, walkability, ocean views and quiet beach access!”
Islander on the Beach 242 – Guest Stay January 2026
“We had an amazing 7-day stay in Kapa’a, Hawaii! The location was absolutely perfect—close to everything and with a beautiful view that never got old. Waking up each day to that scenery was such a highlight of our trip. The host was fantastic and stayed in communication throughout our stay, always checking in to make sure everything was going well and that we had what we needed. The place was comfortable, well-situated, and truly felt like a home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!”

shopping all within a few minutes walk.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay January 2026
“This is wonderfully located to the shopping/groceries, the Farmer’s Market (twice a week) and great restaurants! Grounds are well manicured and everyone was kind and responsive! We had a beautiful view of the ocean and the waves we could hear all night with the breeze flowing through the room. This was a wonderful place for us to relax on the lanai and watch a peeping view of the sun coming up while drinking Kauai’s coffee. Well needed break and this was a great place to melt.”
Islander on the Beach 242 – Guest Stay January 2026
“Amazing ocean views . The beach is a few steps away from the room. Good location and the coconut market place next to it is a nice spot”

Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay January 2026
“Centrally located on Kauai, perfect if you plan to have travel days up north or south, conveniently located next to Coconut Marketplace (has a small market, some eateries — highly recommend the Sleeping Giant Grill next door, coffees, etc). Make sure you you leave your parking permit overnight, have seen many tickets issued there. Great being able to leave the door open and hear/feel the ocean breeze!”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay January 2026
“Kathy’s studio was perfect for us! You could see the sunrise from the unit, and there are plenty of shops, food and drinks in walking distance. The entire complex felt incredibly safe, too. Kathy’s team was communicative and made an early check-in easy. We would stay here again. One note: There’s no stove or oven. That’s obvious in the photos now, but I didn’t notice originally. Probably wouldn’t have used one anyway since there’s so much good food nearby.”
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay January 2026
“We had so much fun from hiking the mountain trails to going to see Avatar at the vintage theater in Waimea. Kauai is not as big as Oahu and has a much more laid back vibe since it’s less populated. We toured the entire island during our week stay. We visited all of the main attractions except those that required a lot of hiking since it rained occasionally and the more remote water falls were too muddy. Even the rain was nice and we didn’t mind since it was occasional. The property itself was the best we have ever experienced when staying in Hawaii. The view from the balcony was breathtaking and sound of the ocean was our lullaby at night sleeping in the super comfortable bed. I called Kathy when I arrived and apologized for being so skeptical about the pictures of the view on the Airbnb site, and told her the pictures did not do justice to the actual experience. We were there for our 46th wedding anniversary and Lady Boss told me it was the best ever…. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!”

It is walkable to a grocery store with amazing prepared food, a coffee shop and dozens of restaurants and other shops. we would definitely stay here again.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay December 2025
“The studio apartment was in the perfect location- walkable to many restaurants, coffee, beaches, grocery, as well as convenient to travel north or south for day trips! The lanai was the perfect space for morning coffee, enjoying a good book, or just listening to the waves. Loved hearing the ocean sounds at night while sleeping- didn’t even need my sound machine! Kathy was great at communicating and fast to respond to any of my inquiries. As others have said, the place is a bit dated and could use a refresh, but I think a lot of the wear and tear is simply due to being so beautifully close to the ocean and sea salt in the air. Otherwise, it is in a beautiful location and very quiet and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of crowded resorts. I would recommend staying here!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay December 2025

“Great experience with our stay! Options to take a one minute walk down the stairs and across the path to the beach to enjoy the sunrise or have it hit you in the face if you slept in. Went to sleep and woke up to the sound of the ocean waves every day. Several restaurants and shops within walking distance and central location on the island make for easy travel either way to capture all the amazing sites this paradise has to offer. We had a couple of minor issues which were responded to very efficiently by Kathy and her team. Definitely planning on returning! Mahalo!”

Would stay here again, met a lot of owners during our stay and they were so friendly!

Communication for this issue was clear, frequent, and proactive!”

Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay October 2025
“We had a fabulous stay at this condo in Lihue! It was close to the airport and very central to all locations throughout the island. We didn’t need much as we didn’t cook and enjoyed all of the local restaurants, which were fabulous, but it was very well stocked if you want to. The provided beach chairs, umbrellas and insulated cups were essential every day use for us as we spent our 5 days driving to beaches on the island. Princeville was a 45 minute drive and is built up and a little more touristy and was easy to get to. Our little bit of downtime was spent at the pools next door at the Outrigger Resort and they were very nice as well. The beach was a short couple minute walk and was great for the sunrise but we didn’t swim in it. Everything was in great condition and I would highly recommend this rental. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get! We thank you for a fabulous stay!”

It’s fairly central to go to the east or north shore for anyone who won’t really be staying in their room too much. Me and my wife are both super happy with our stay, thank you!”

Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay October 2025
“I can’t say enough positive things about our stay here! First of all, the location is probably the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at anywhere and couldn’t have been more convenient for Kaua’i. We were right next to a private beach that we walked to every day, there’s multiple shops and restaurants within a 2 minute walk, and the hotel/unit itself is perfectly in between both sides of the island making driving distances very convenient. The unit was very spacious and had more than enough amenities including toiletries, a hair dryer, beach towels, kitchen utensils & plates, and most importantly AC! A view of the ocean from the balcony just topped it all off. Kathy was a GREAT host, always quick with responses when we needed them, and was more than helpful and friendly. I would recommend this stay to anyone and everyone going to Kaua’i whether it’s your first time or 10th time. We could not have been happier :)”

“Absolutely incredible!! Our first time in Kauai and this was THEE PERFECT SPOT!!!! Right on the beach, restaurants and a market right by you! Beautiful walking path!! I love that the screen door had a lock. We slept with the door open every night and listened to the ocean waves. Of course the roosters in the morning waking us up, which was great because it got ours butts up to watch the sunrise! BONUS.. It even came with boogie boards!! We are 100% coming back to stay in #131 ❤️ also, Kathy is so thoughtful and includes a book of things to do and places to eat! FABULOUS!”

The breathtaking sunrise was our alarm clock!”

“Wonderful place to stay while in Kauai! Everything was as described and matched the photos. We had everything needed for a memorable vacation. Great storage for clothes in the dresser for 2 people. The refrigerator was larger than expected with lots of space for food and drinks. Appreciated the snacks and local recommendations provided by host! We love Sleeping Giant Grill being so close to our unit. Highly recommend the Ono wrap! Very nice to have the Coconut Marketplace nearby as well. The beautiful plumeria blocked some of the view, but still a view on the side if standing up. Beautiful beach just a few hundred steps away and a very nice walking path. Great communication with the hosts. Would stay here again!”

“Our stay was wonderful! The place was perfect, just as the pictures showed. The location was great, we drove all through the island, and we watched the sunrise from the beach just minutes away from the apartment. Everything was cleaned, the beach towels and snorkel gear at the apartment were super useful. The comunicación was easy, fast and friendly. I highly recommend staying here, it was perfect for our honey moon!”
Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay August 2025
“The place was exactly as described, beautiful views, super clean, and AIR CONDITIONED! It was super easy to check in and felt just like a home away from home. The pull out couch was also comfortable and was definitely big enough for an adult in our opinion. We had no issues sleeping other than the locals waking us up quite early 😆 (roosters lol). Super close to the little town of Kapaa for shops and food. But also walking distance to one of our faves, Johnny’s Wings & Tings. We enjoyed the beautiful pool & pool bar after long days at the beach. Everyone was super friendly here! Overall, an amazing place & amazing visit.”

Anahola Beach House – Guest Stay July – August 2025
“Kathy’s place was great for our family trip of eight adults and four kids. Every couple had their own room and bathroom. The kids’ room was perfect for them. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with most of what you need. The location is great. Just north of Kapa’a. Easy to go north towards Hanalei. I would definitely stay again.”
Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay July – August 2025
“Excellent host! Clear and easy communication and very responsive when needed. Unit is as described and shown in photos. Basic, but clean and a great value. Location is great because it is somewhat central to the island and within walking distance to food and shopping at the Coconut Marketplace, and supplies at the ABC store – very convenient! Just a short walk away from the ocean. The beach isn’t the best, as it is a bit rough and not a great swimming beach if that is your thing. There are trees where you can easily find a nice shaded spot and watch the waves though. I have stayed at the Aston Islander 3 times now and it has been perfect for my needs every time. It is simple and affordable.
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay July – August 2025

“Had a great time! The place was very clean and matched the pictures, the free parking made exploring Kauai very easy. Check-in was independent via door code. Communication was always friendly and quick. We highly recommend the accommodation to get to know Kauai.”
Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay July 2025
“This was our second stay in this unit, we love the location overlooking the beach and the pool. The Islander is such a beautiful place with quaint plantation style architecture, lovely grounds, and the pool and tiki bar (the Sandbar) literally steps from the beach. Just across the parking lot is the Coconut Marketplace with lots of shops, places to eat and activities like hula and fire knife dances, and the farmers’ market is a great place to pick up fresh tropical fruit. Located just south of Kapa’a makes it easy to get to either the north shore or south shore. The room is comfortable and well equipped. Communication with Kauai Vision Rentals was timely and easy, both by email and text. This is by far our favorite place to stay on Kauai, we’re already looking forward to our next visit.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay July 2025

Islander on the Beach 356 – Guest Stay July 2025
“The place was exactly as pictured and described and we had a great stay! 3 adults stayed here quite comfortably and had room to eat at the table or sit on the lanai (balcony). We had a partial view of the ocean and the grounds were beautiful! The beach is a little rough for swimming, but perfect for watching a sunrise or relaxing. Check-in was easy and exactly as described. The instructions were easy to follow and given to us well in advance. I didn’t realize there wasn’t an elevator up to the third floor for my mom, but I didn’t think to look for that information ahead of time or to ask about it. The coconut marketplace is very close by (walkable) where you can shop & get supplies at the ABC Store. Even closer is a coffee shop & restaurant (and a tattoo shop that was really great!).”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay July 2025

Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay July 2025
“Can’t beat the location. Right by the beach and close to the pool. Very walkable to a variety of shops and restaurants including ABC store and a drug store. Centrally located to nearby beaches. Nice bike path in the back that runs along the shore that’s great for watching the beautiful sunrises.”

“Amazing stay.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay July 2025
“We absolutely loved our stay! The ocean views were spectacular and the sounds were so soothing and peaceful. The unit is perfect for a couple and having a full kitchen (including a full-size coffeemaker!) made our meal times and choices flexible. The description says that no beach items are included (other than beach towels) but that other guests may have left some things behind; we found snorkel equipment, chairs, boogie and coolers all there! The bathroom is small but fine for two people. The on-site pool was very nice and frequently we were the only ones using it. Location couldn’t be better; there is a small beach just steps away and so many great restaurants and shops in walking distance. We were over at the Coconut Marketplace almost daily; they have a farmer’s market a couple of times a week and other fun activities as well. And I’ll mention the view one more time; it was so beautiful!”
Islander on the Beach 323 – Guest Stay July 2025

“Was a great place to stay with a great location.”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay July 2025
“Absolutely perfect stay in Kauai! We had an incredible 4-night stay and couldn’t have asked for a better location. You literally step out onto the balcony and you’re have access to the beach! Going to bed and waking up to the sound of the waves and having the ocean just steps away was truly magical. The space had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home during our trip. It was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully set up for guests. The host and her team were fantastic! Very communicative and quick to respond to all our questions, which made check-in and our entire stay smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, convenient, and relaxing spot to stay in Kauai. We’d come back in a heartbeat!”

Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay June 2025
“Unit is exactly as described. We were informed of construction being done on the building (not our specific unit) a few days prior to our stay and expressed concern regarding the noise. Host was responsive and went out of their way to find us alternate accommodation, but ultimately we decided to stick with this unit and we were glad we did. Very quiet (when construction wasn’t active), convenient location to most everything the island has to offer, and a beautiful beach front view. Highly recommend!”

“Awesome.”
Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay June 2025
“The beach, some stores/restaurants and a great coffee shop are in walking distance. Nice quiet beach for swimming with enough beach chairs for everyone. You can hear the ocean at night when the door to the balcony is kept open. Roosters are in fact making noise in the early morning but I was fine with earplugs. I would definitely stay there again.”
Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay June 2025
“The place was lovely – just what we were looking for. Literal steps from the ocean! Coconut Marketplace is within a 3 minute walk – everything from restaurants to shops to an ABC Store for any travel essentials you may need. There were two of us staying here and that felt perfect – I imagine 3 would feel a bit tight in this space, so something to consider based on your travel party’s size!”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay June 2025
“Loved our stay here. Views from the balcony were a great place to drink coffee in the morning. Access to the resort was great, we spent all our downtime hanging out at the pool area. Good happy hour in the hotel restaurant as well.”

Islander on the Beach 239 Guest Stay June 2025
“This Airbnb was perfect for our little group trip, and was super flexible for our mismatched travel plans. Being right next to the beach was so awesome and having the marketplace nearby was really great. It’s a bit away from Kapa’a’s downtown, so it was really convenient to have so many amenities and shops nearby! Kathy was super responsive and super easy to communicate with, despite my lulls in responsiveness. She helped me thoroughly and clearly with my change requests, and was super patient with me! Highly recommend :)”

“What a beautiful location to enjoy the beach and listen to the waves all night long!! Peaceful and a good size balcony to enjoy it all! There are stairs (and no elevator/wheelchair access) to get into the property and also up to the 2nd floor condo. Sleeping Giant Grill was fabulous!!! It takes a while but well worth the wait! Mahalo Kathy!!!”

Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay May 2025
“I recently stayed at Kathy’s unit on the Islanders on the Beach Resort in Kauai and had a truly wonderful experience. The location is absolutely unbeatable—right on the ocean, with the sound of waves lulling you to sleep every night. It’s a perfect central spot on the island, making day trips to the North Shore or Waimea Canyon easy and convenient. The unit itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like beach chairs, a cooler, and a small kitchenette. The bed was comfy, the AC worked well (though the ocean breeze often made it unnecessary), and I loved sitting out on the lanai with a cup of coffee in the morning. The resort grounds are beautifully maintained, with lush tropical landscaping and a relaxing pool/tub. Communication with the host was excellent—friendly, responsive, and helpful.”

Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay May 2025
“Great room, too bad I couldn’t stay longer. The place is very well equipped and with very clear instructions on how everything works. The setting is ideal for relaxing and unwinding. The Coconut market has everything, so we didn’t even have to travel by car to shop. A warning for those who are light sleepers: bring earplugs, a couple of roosters announce the dawn from 4am so it could be annoying for some; it was good for us because we took advantage of enjoying one of the most beautiful sunrises we saw in Kauai. It’s definitely a great choice.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay May 2025

“We had a wonderful stay at Kathy’s apartment. The location by the sea is unbeatable and the complex with pool, hot tub, barbecue and some shops is also great. The apartment has a good location within the complex with sea views! The amenities are also perfect – the kitchenette is small but has everything you need. A tip – at 4 AM you are woken up by the many roosters in the complex compared to other accommodations – so bring earplugs. We would love to come back anytime!”

“We absolutely loved our stay here. After reading reviews (which were mostly positive anyway) I brought sealable containers in case of tropical bugs. And then we did not see a single one the entire time! It was clean and so nice. The AC was on when we arrived and we turned it off, never turning it on again. We kept the lanai door open (with screen door shit) most of the time we were in our room and it was pleasant. Host was helpful, checking in to make sure we had what we needed. Definitely recommend and would love to go back!”
Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay May 2025

Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay April – May 2025
“This condo had everything my husband and I needed for our ten days in Kauai. The location was perfect! The beach is right outside and views are gorgeous. It’s also a nice central location on the island that made traveling to the south side or north side easy. There is also a shopping complex a short walk away with restaurants. The condo was comfortable and host was very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay again in the future.”

“I had the best time staying at Kathy’s place. The surroundings were beautiful and the location was perfect to go up and down the east coast of the island. Kathy was super responsive and helped me out SO MUCH when I forgot my iPad before my flight, I cannot recommend this place enough, I’ll definitely be rebooking this place next time I am here on vacation. Thank you all so very much.”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay April 2025
“Very good location, where we could easily drive around to different parts of the island. great view! the pool and hot tub was a great extra. rooms where alittle outdated but had no issues. it was still very nice. The bed was very comfortable. Kathy answered when I had a question very quickly. I recommend her place!”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay April 2025
“Great Spot!! If you’re looking for a non fussy stay, and a great landing pad with the beach at your front door – this is it! It’s part of a larger hotel area, but not really a traditional hotel. Very quiet. We spent a whole day at the beach chairs using the host provided towels and umbrella(so necessary) and swam in the ocean. Being able to run back to the condo for ice, and provisions it was awesome. There is also a property pool/hot tub with an adorable tiki bar attached. It opens at 3 for HH and has the cheapest mai tais! It was rarely busy, and just felt like we were in a super local spot. The beach is coarser than most, But you can’t be mad at a beach front , and the views are beautiful. We had no qualms! The town of Kapaa is a quick drive down the st, with adorable shops and good eats! Try Al pastor fish tacos, and Java Kai coffee – Even closer you have to try sleeping giant for their fresh poke! We did trivia at Napali Brewing Co. on a rainy day, good vibes all around!”
Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay April 2025
“Kathy’s place was clean, comfortable, and an amazing location. We loved exploring all the local shops and restaurants.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay April 2025
“Kathy’s flat is great. We stayed for a week and enjoyed a lot the pleasure of waking up viewing the ocean and being able to simply step out to the shore anytime you feel like it. Access and communication with Kathy are easy, the flat is clean and well equipped. The compound is well located, with and easy access and shops and restaurants around, even a regular farmer’s market. Highly recommended.”
Islander on the Beach 242 – Guest Stay April 2025
“This was the perfect place to stay for our first time in Kaua’i! The location was great because we were close to many restaurants and in the middle of the south and north shores. There’s a lot walkway you can use and a private beach area. The place was the perfect size and had everything we needed to enjoy a short stay. We were not too far from Walmart or the airport, which was a bonus! Everything looked just like the photos and there were clear instructions on everything! Definitely recommend especially because the price was fantastic!”
Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay April 2025
“Location! Location! Location! The views out of the back patio door were exactly what we needed and are better than any picture you can imagine. Kathy and crew were very communicative and right on top of making sure everything was good for our week long stay. Steps away from the ocean, omg. A three to five minute walk to 7-8 restaurants and many shops. We didn’t want to leave. The condo was nice and everything listed in the ad was available for use. It was truly a wonderful stay for us!”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay April 2025
“The description of place is very accurate. It was clean and great view. Easy walking to restaurants, market, and small shops. Also very close to drive to bigger grocery etc. Great location to visit both north and south of island. We would stay here again!”

Apartment is great and has everything what you need! Extremely clean! Truly recommend this place! Can’t wait to come back! Thank You!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay April 2025
“This place is right on the beach. We loved just sitting on the lanai and listening to the ocean. The kitchenette is well stocked with tools needed for cooking at home. The studio is conveniently located to shopping and the Kapaa bike/walking path. Kathy’s home is great and we would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space.”

“A great stay close to the beach!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay April 2025
“The apartment is in a very good location, equidistant from the north and south shore, and with nice walking areas by the coast. It has the basics for a comfortable stay and a wonderful view. The deck was the place to be for our morning coffee or to sit and watch the ocean, feel the wind, and listen to the roosters! The beach right across is small, but it gives you a private spot to be and enjoy the water, especially if it’s not very rough.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay April 2025
“If you are visiting Kauai, I recommend this place. Everything was perfect, the view, the equipment, the comfort! Thanks for a wonderful stay by the sea.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay April 2025
“My husband and I decided to stay here for our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more perfect!!! The location is very central to everything on the island, multiple (really good) restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The pool, hot tub, and pool side bar were great to relax by after adventurous days on the island. Kathy was very accommodating, we had no issues at all!! The unit itself was perfect for our stay and had everything we could’ve needed. Very clean and the view was unbeatable! We forgot to bring beach towels so it was great that she provided some. We noticed that other rental units on the island charged for parking at the hotels, but a parking pass was included in this rental and it was great to have!! We had such a wonderful stay here and would recommend to anyone!!”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay April 2025
“The view was STUNNING. The connection to the beach and view from the balcony was worth it alone. The pool and hottub were an absolute treat. The bar there is a quaint experience with locals and folks who own and go to this spot frequently. I recommend bringing plenty of your own soaps, we did not care for the shampoo etc. options both across myself and my partner who could typically care less. No coffee available despite there being a coffee pot and filter (bring your own). Bedding was fine. Outdoor amenities were available and vary based on what previous folks purchased and left behind. Don’t count on anything more than a beach towel. Check in info comes in a PDF format and in your email. Be connected to that instead of your AirBB app. The key box is sticky but it definitely works, just keep trying! Dinner next door has great service, ask them about their ube cocktail! We were very appreciative for the flexible check out, knowing it’s not always something you can offer.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay April 2025
“My friend and I stayed here for a few days and loved it! We loved how close it was to the beach and the restaurants and coffeeshops within walking distance! It’s in a great location too:) overall we’re very happy we chose to stay here!”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay April 2025
“The view is phenomenal. We could not have asked for a more pristine beach view! It was so nice walking out on the patio in the morning to watch the sunrise and watch the sunset. The location of the condo itself is great. Close to food and shopping. Everything was as described. I thought the bed was super comfortable. Had everything we needed! Loved being able to utilize the amenities of the resort like the pool and hot tub. Would absolutely stay there again if we go back.”
Islander on the Beach 242 – Guest Stay April 2025

Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay April 2025
“Excellent value and location, we enjoyed our stay and would return/recommend! The unit is steps from the beach and the shared pool/grill area, as well as to a small shopping center that had decent selection and pricing, a hot coffee bar and decent warm breakfast options. Kapaa Town is a few minute drive and we considered the place perfect as a launch pad to Kauai. Thanks for an accurate listing and an awesome stay! Mahalo.”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay April 2025

Plantation Hale G7 – Guest Stay March – April 2025
“Was a great stay! My whole family was staying down the road at the Sheraton but that was out of my price range so the convenience of the location was perfect. Bob was very good at communicating with clear instructions, I didn’t have any problems or questions during my stay but every bit of communication regarding check in/out and checking in during the week was very helpful. Highly recommend.”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay April 2025
“We absolutely loved our stay at Islander at the Beach #131. The room has a lanai that opens to the bike path and the ocean. The larger refrigerator was great for our drinks and snacks. We used the BBQ at the pool to cook some steaks. Everything we needed was in the room: plates, cutlery, paper towels, etc. The queen bed is comfortable. You will be woken up by roosters at all hours, but that is to be expected at the islands. I highly recommend Islander on the Beach 131 and Kauai Vision Rentals.”
Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay March 2025
“I really enjoyed my stay here. I had everything I needed, with a beautiful view. The bed was comfortable too. Clean and close to plenty of things to do. I loved that, on my lazy days, I could walk to the Coconut Market Place for food or whatever else I needed. The beach out front was a lovely place to swim or read or sunbath. I would recommend earplugs for the roosters though. I only needed them during the am. Other than the roosters it was very quiet and peaceful. I loved opening the slider and listening to the waves. The garden/grounds at this place is incredibly well done too. So beautiful. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay March 2025

“We absolutely loved staying at Bob’s Airbnb on Kapa’a. It is in a great location. We felt safe and comfortable during our stay. The accommodations are quiet and clean with lots of amenities including dishes, towels and a full size lanai. The grounds, pool(s) and hot tub are in pristine condition. The stunning beach is a close walk from the property as is a wonderful marketplace where you can find almost anything else you’ll need during your stay. We would love to stay at Bob’s place again!”

“Gorgeous location and decent studio, totally worth it.”
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay March 2025
“We LOVED our stay at Kathy’s! We can say nothing but positive things! My husband and I are active travelers and this was the perfect home base for us for a week of hiking and activity! The balcony was our favorite part! We loved sitting out there every morning and every night. The atmosphere of the entire property was so laid back and calm. We used the pool, hot tub, tiki bar, and grills and had no issues with any! We were conveniently located on the island, and loved being within walking distance from rentals, great food, and loved sitting on the beach right outside! Perfect and relaxing spot! Kathy and her team were also amazing to work with and more than accommodating with last minute changes (on our end), and was very responsive! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!”

Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay March 2025

Very comfortable and homey with lots to do!”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay February – March 2025
“The location was amazing. We watched the sunrise every morning. You can beat a Hawaain sunrise! Photos were 100% accurate. I booked this because of how beautiful the view was and ocean/beach front.”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay February – March 2025
“This unit has a stunning, unbeatable view! Most of our time was spent on the patio, enjoying the scenery and people watching.The unit was clean, check in was easy, we would consider staying again (we do tend to like to cook our own meals, and that was a little complicated here just with the size of the kitchenette, but it did have everything necessary if we had decided to try).In addition to the views, the unit shines in location. Easy walking distance to Coconut Marketplace and many really great restaurants, which is part of why we chose to stay here. It’s quickly become our preferred area in the island after over a dozen trips.The only thing I will say is this is not a ritzy, fancy resort, but we were not looking for that experience. We found the unit to be comfortable (even though it is showing some signs of wear), clean, and actually pretty quiet, and was a great fit for our stay. The grounds are also beautiful, and we had some nice walks!”

Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay February 2025
“Kathy was very responsive to any questions we had. Unit had a great view, enjoyed sitting on the lanai for our morning coffee. Being a corner unit gave us extra light. About the size of a hotel room. A bit smaller than I expected Loved having the coconut market right beside our place. Easy to buy takeout as well as restaurants to eat at.”

“Super comfortable bed – couldn’t even hear chickens in morning barely.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay February 2025
“We really enjoyed our stay in this little studio with most everything you might need. It was clean, and just as described. Upstairs unit with a nice deck with a view of the ocean where we would start every morning sipping on a cup of tea and listening to the birds and sounds of the ocean. I loved the old style glass window panels that you can open and close to let the breeze in. I found the bed was rather firm, and the bathroom a bit tight, but clean and in a good working order. Overall a great stay, would rent it again!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay February 2025

Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay February 2025
“This unit is on the ground floor and faces a building about 150 feet away with a beautiful lawn between. It feels both open and private, like having a yard to yourself. The hosting team was responsive and clear. One minute walk to a beach or swimming pool. The beach is great for walking and sunbathing, but not great for swimming. We loved it. Great stay…would go again.”
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay February 2025

“We were here 3 nights, and it was such a lovely condo. Beautiful view of the sunrise over the ocean, and right next to the beach.

“Very communicative host, easy to follow instructions. Central location which makes it easy to drive to the North and South sides of the islands. Cute beach out front.”
Islander on the Beach 242 – Guest Stay February 2025
“Great location, complex has beautiful landscaping. Can see sunrise over the ocean from the balcony. Well marked running path going north or south along the coast from the complex. Roosters are all over the island and can wake you up earlier than you may want (maybe bring earplugs). The unit is in the OAHU building. Parking in the lot might be full if you come in late but there is “street” parking on the small street that leads to the parking lot. Nice large refrigerator and freezer with ice trays (although there is an ice machine is right downstairs). TV and Wifi (Spectrum) were good. Nice large body wash, shampoo and conditioner pumps for the bathroom. Kitchen is efficiently organized for the small space with microwave, sink with pull out spray nozzle, plates, cups and utensils (utensils are in the drawers under the cabinet under the sink, didn’t find them initially), ice bucket and dish rack. Large closet with hangers and a small safe inside. Would stay here again!”

Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay January 2025
“Watch the sunrise every morning from your lanai or walk down to the small beach cove to enjoy the water and listen to the waves. The unit was perfectly located, quiet, filled with everything we needed for our stay.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay February 2025
“We changed our plans and flew in 2 days earlier than expected. Was able to book this room last minute and it was totally worth it! Nice view, could see & hear the ocean. It was located right by the parking lot so you weren’t walking far to get to your car.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay February 2025
“Great place to stay! Waking up every morning to the sunrise and waves right out the sliding glass door makes for a great vacation! The walking path is a bit busy but it’s worth the view.”
Islander on the Beach 356 – Guest Stay February 2025
“The location of this place is really the win here. it’s so close to the beach and I knew that’s really what I wanted for my daughter for this trip and so that was perfect. The beds were comfortable. It is otherwise very basic with not much but the bare necessities but if you’re looking for a good east side location just a few steps to the beach, this is a good choice. We were able to explore the full island easily from this spot.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay February 2025
“My favorite thing about this place was being so close to the beach. We fell asleep listening to the waves and woke up to watch the sunrise each morning.”

“Great location walkable to restaurants and shops, and a small beach. Perfect little condo for a Hawaii get away.”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay January 2025
“The building complex area was inviting and everyone was friendly. It’s not the uptight kind of place. It’s right on a beautiful beach with awsome sunrises a pool bar and shops, coffee. Lava Lava right next door is a great place to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner right on the beach. I would definitely come back. The only minus is no kitchen but that meant no cooking for me!”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay January 2025
“We arrived in the dark, so it was a little difficult to find the correct building. The grounds were beautiful and within walking distance to the beach. The condo exceeded our expectations. It was immaculate and had everything we needed for a day at the beach ( chairs, towels, cooler) plus access bands to use the neighboring resort facilities. Two full bathrooms were handy; the kitchen was adequately stocked with cooking utensils. There are grills outside the building that can be used. The king bed was very comfortable. Location was central to all activities on the south and east coasts. We would gladly book this condo again on a return trip.”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay January 2025
“Great place near the ocean. The balcony to sit outside and listen to the waves crash was really nice. The bike path right outside was hugely convenient!”
Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay January 2025
“My ocean front, end unit on the 2nd level, was amazing! There is a coffee maker which we used every day with beans from Kauai, we had breakfast on the lanai and found all the dishes we needed. Bed, linens and furnishings comfy. Directly in front of the ocean, with the beach in view, sound of ocean waves all day, walk to shopping and restaurants, really ideal. Despite being there in late January we could leave the lanai door open a bit at night, and all during the day. The oceanfront hot tub and pool area was a nice place to socialize if you choose to, with a bar open at 3pm (great Mai Tai’s). The pool was a bit chilly, but we still were happy to use it and the hot tub every night, which could get crowded at times but people always made room for more. This is right on the scenic, gorgeous, walking/biking coastline path which goes for 7 miles along the coast. We walked to Imua coffee, The Sleeping Giant Grill, Napali Brewery, Russell’s, and Lava Lava Beach Club, they were all excellent.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay January 2025
“We very much enjoyed staying here! The proximity to the beach was AMAZING and we saw lots of critters in the tide pools at sunset. The space was very clean and perfect for two people. It was nice to have a kitchen, as well as a laundry room for the units. Hosts were very responsive, too. We will definitely return in the future! :)”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay January 2025
“Very much enjoyed our 5-night stay in mid-January. Great to have access to Outrigger pool and facilities as well as a nice beach. Lots of storage space, lots of beach gear (especially beach towels), and overall very functional. Had an issue with the AC in living room, but host was very quick to respond and remediate. Would definitely stay here and again and comfortable recommending to others. Note, the unit is very clean and modern, but the buildings are aging and some are under exterior repair.”
Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay January 2025
“This was a perfect spot for my husband and I. Walk out to the beach, restaurants within walking distance were great (Sleeping Giant Grill), breakfast on the patio watching the sun rise over the water. Central location for driving anywhere on the island. Just bring ear plugs for the roosters but you’ll get that anywhere on the island. Had a mini fridge, microwave, plates, bowls, utensils, and grills by the pool. Just enough to eat out or in comfortably. Highly recommend this condo.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay January 2025
“Perfect location!”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay January 2025
“Beautiful location and views of the ocean. Host was very communicative and provided all necessary information prior to arrival.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay January 2025
“A perfect location in Kapaa. Kathy was an excellent host, communicating proactively and timely. The unit was very clean and stocked with what we needed. Great central location on the island easy to drive north or south depending on what you have planned for the day. The patio is so peaceful with beautiful sunrises and the beach is gorgeous. Definitely will stay again if our travels take us back to Kauai!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay January 2025
“Kathy’s place was the perfect spot for two of us to stay during our getaway to beautiful Kauai. The central location was ideal as we had plans to explore both the north shore and south/ western side of the island during our trip. The town of Kapa’a also offers multiple great restaurants, including some within walking distance of the Bnb. Kathy’s place was clean and well-stocked, and she provided excellent communication before and during the trip. The place’s location right by the water is definitely one of the best parts, and we enjoyed the gorgeous sunrise and soothing sound of the waves as we got ready for each day. I will say that there can be some noise in the morning (between the local roosters and other guests in the area), but it wasn’t an issue for us as we started each day early :)”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay January 2025
“Everything was as described and well worth the money paid! Kathy followed up more than once early in the week to make everything was going great. Only downsides were a smaller bathroom (the trade-off for having a full kitchen), and the beach directly in front is rather small due to logs blocking the rest of the beach. No fault of the host and the longer stretch is a short 5 min walk away. Overall a great value for the place!”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay January 2025

Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay January 2025

They have been super responsive & kind during my stay. 100% recommend booking your stay here!”

Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay January 2025
“This place is amazing! From the beach view patio to all of the amazing restaurants in walking distance this place is an absolute win. There is even a well rated beach bar and restaurant located just next to this place!! Don’t let the third floor keep you it is so worth it for the sunrise view every morning.”

“Kathy’s place in Kapa’a was just what we needed for our weekend getaway to Kauai. The proximity to the beach and many restaurants was a definite plus. It was also conveniently located to the airport and a nice halfway point between our planned excursions to Waimea Canyon and the North Shore. Thanks for a great stay!”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay December 2024
“Amazing Airbnb. Would recommend 100%.”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay December 2024
“My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here. Kathy’s place was well stocked for our 1 week stay and even had plenty of beach supplies available to use. The view of the ocean was incredible and it was extra special to watch the sunrise each morning from either our bed, or balcony! We also loved having the Coconut Marketplace and other restaurants right next door for easy gift shopping, dinner, or shaved ice. The location on the east side of Kauai was perfect and we felt like we had easy access each day to anywhere we wanted to go on the island. We definitely recommend a stay here and are dreaming of returning!”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay December 2024

Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay December 2024
“We really enjoyed our stay in Kathy’s place. The view from the balcony was fantastic, and the beach just a few steps away was quiet and relaxing. The location was convenient as well: walkable to several restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, a 5-10 minute drive to more options in Kapa’a, and an hour’s drive or less to all the main north and south shore attractions. We would absolutely stay again.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay December 2024
“Wonderful experience, our room was steps away from the beach! We loved it and hope to stay again soon!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay December 2024
“We were in Kauai for a relaxing getaway and this place was perfect for what we wanted. The views of the ocean and the proximity to the water was perfect. We spent most of our time on the patio soaking up the outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, but the studio was also close to shopping, restaurants and a walking path along the water. We liked the central location for day trips to Princeville, Poipu Beach & Waimea Canyon. Overall, it was perfect for a quiet getaway for the two of us.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay December 2024
“Nice little studio. Love the ocean view patio and easy access to the beach. Walking distance to the coconut market place where we can find lots of good restaurants especially JoJo shave ice. We would love to come again for great location.”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay December 2024
“We enjoyed our stay at this location. Right next to the ocean and a shopping area just a short walk away. Kathy was very responsive, making sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.”

“This house was amazing! So much room for 7 couples! The beach in the backyard was the best beach on island.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay November – December 2024
“The space was a bit small but overall it was great. the pool and hot tub were fun and lucky to have the beach right outside the door! I would recommend staying here. If I ever come back to the island and I would highly consider staying here again.”
Islander on the Beach 323 – Guest Stay November – December 2024
“The place is just breathtaking. We fell asleep to ocean sounds every night, and woke up to the sunrise every morning. The balcony faces east so the sunrise at the horizon is visible from the bed every morning, which was an amazing natural alarm. 10/10 will come here again. The place is clean and comfy, we didn’t really use the kitchenette, but it’s there if needed. The location is great, it’s half way between the south and the north, so a great place to be based out of to see all of the island.”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay November – December 2024
“This was precisely as described – a perfectly nice unit complete with all the requisite amenities situated nicely on the third floor with a lovely ocean view and generally peaceful surroundings. I would return in a heartbeat!”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay November 2024
“I will 100% be back to Kathy’s place. I took very long deciding where In Kauai to stay and this spot was so central to both sides of the island. Many activities 15 minutes away and many walkable restaurants/shops in Coconut marketplace. When I am back in Hawaii I will forsure be staying here again. We had no complaints about people upstairs or near us. So many useful items in the apartment including a nice size fridge and freezer.”

“Great view and nice location if you’re wanting to explore both the north and south shores!”

Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay October 2024
“Loved the oceanfront room. We stayed to play in a senior softball tournament, and most of the team stayed at Islander. Love the tiki bar and close restaurants. Loved the bigger fridge as many rooms have the real small fridge. Thank you.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay October 2024
“We really enjoyed our stay! You can’t beat this location – easy to get all over the island. Loved watching sunrises every morning over the ocean. Wonderful to have shopping and plentiful food options within walking distance. Bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay again! Lovely pool that was cleaned every morning. Poolside bar also open daily!”
Islander on the Beach 323 – Guest Stay October 2024
“Loved Kathy’s place! It provided everything we needed. The beachfront balcony made our trip. Close to shopping and restaurants. We rented bikes from a nearby business and enjoyed the path along the beautiful coast. The Tiki bar lacked ambiance and didn’t open until 3:00 (not the fault of this owner, obviously. Just an FYI. ) We plan to return next year! Aloha.”
Islander on the Beach 319 – Guest Stay October 2024
“Great location with ocean views and easy access to most of the island. Condo has all the basic amenities to prepare snacks and breakfast, with easy beach access (not great for kids). Pool, hot tub and bbq were a nice bonus. Kathy and the team were always helpful and responsive, would happily stay with them again.”
Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay October 2024
“Great location and beautiful grounds. We sat on the porch every morning and looked at the beach. We could walk to restaurants, grocery and shopping. The condo was very basic but had everything we needed.”

“Great stay, thank you!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay October 2024
“What a wonderful space! Right off the ocean, beautiful views, and walkable to basically anything you need. The unit was clean, well stocked, quiet (besides ocean waves crashing!) and peaceful. The host was responsive and proactive, and check in was a breeze. No AC, but the wind off the water came through the screen door and it was always comfortable. Parking was super easy and abundant, and I would highly recommend staying here.”

“We loved staying here. It felt like a central location to the whole island.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay October 2024
“We had a great stay! It’s a lovely little place on the beach. Being on the ground floor, you do have a walking path right out your door, which has its pros and cons! We would definitely stay again.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay October 2024
“I absolutely loved staying here. The area is peaceful, quiet, and so convenient. Kathy was super responsive and proactively checked in on us, making sure check in went smoothly and if there was anything we needed. The amenities were accurate. The place also came with beach chairs, a cooler bag, and an umbrella. The beach is totally swimmable too! We’d get up and watch the sunrise, take a morning dip in the ocean, have some coffee from IMUA, relax, and then take off on our adventure that day. The bar by the pool is small and quaint, but totally does the job. We would get a drink during happy hour and relax by the pool after long days. The bar tenders were always nice and the Pina Coladas were great! In just a 2 minute walk there’s coffee, multiple restaurants, bike rentals, groceries, and an ABC store. Oh, and don’t forget shaved ice! My favorite places were IMUA coffee and Sleeping Giant Grill. Poipu beach is 40 min one direction, and Hanalei Bay is 40 min the other direction.

Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay October 2024
“We loved staying here! The unit is part of a resort, so you have access to the pool area as well as the beach area- beautiful sandy beach, much quieter than Poipu. The Coconut Marketplace is literally located behind the resort, so lots of shops/restaurants/ABC store within walking distance. The host is a rental company, so responses were very prompt if you do have questions. The unit had everything we needed, including beach chairs!”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay October 2024
“It’s a beautiful slice of paradise, close to the airport, great beach . Beautiful condo next to the beach , it’s just perfect. We will be back.”

Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay September 2024
“This end unit had an amazing view, access to bike trail(7 miles),LavaLava (restaurant with outdoor lounge,good food and live music). The Islander is a central location to beautiful beaches and other adventures. The town of Kapaa is a sleepy gem with old town shopping, food trucks and various happy hours. The h it was clean just wish it had a newer sofa. Otherwise it had drip coffeemaker ,blender and mid size mini fridge and microwave and a safe. Steps from the ice machine comfy queen size. K would stay there again!”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay September 2024
“Beautiful oceanfront room with both privacy and a small shopping village close enough to walk to. Staff was friendly, the unit was clean and matched all pictures and descriptions. Would absolutely stay again!”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay September 2024
“We absolutely loved our stay in Kathy’s place! The location couldn’t have been better, with the beach directly right outside the lanai and many restaurants and stores within a 5 minute walk. The bed was comfortable and we loved falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves. The complex is also very beautiful with lovely landscaping. The highlight of our stay was waking up daily and seeing the gorgeous sunrise from the beach in front of the condo. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!”
Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay September 2024

“We had a wonderful first trip to Kauai. The location of Kathy’s place was absolutely perfect. We could easily get to activities on both sides of the island. The sunrises from the beach at this location in Kapa’a were amazing. Parking was pretty full, especially if we returned in the evening, but we always managed to find a spot.”

“Great location, beautiful views.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay September 2024
“This was our third time staying in a property owned by Kathy at Islander on the beach. We love the location and how close it is close to everything. Check in was seamless and communication was great throughout the entire process. The bed was comfortable and the A/C worked okay. The only small recommendation we would have is that the ceiling fan didn’t run very high/fast.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay September 2024

“Watched every sunrise over the ocean from the lanai, perfect location near great food, shopping, walking path, everything we needed.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay September 2024
“I can’t stop raving about Kathy’s place! The location is EVERYTHING! From the ocean being only footsteps away from the room (caught a gorgeous sunset), to the ABC store within walkable distance (best mochi ube malasadas ever!), as well as other souvenir stores and restaurants. Our only regret is only spending two nights there. Looking back we should’ve stayed there in Kapa’a our whole trip instead of staying the other half in Princeville. The actual room was amazing, too, very spacious, super comfortable bed, tv, functioning AC, sliding door so you can get some fresh ocean air in, everything you can think of you might need: kitchenette, utensils, pots, microwave, beach towels, beach chairs etc. we definitely hope to be back!”
Islander on the Beach 351- Guest Stay September 2024
“The rental had gorgeous ocean views. You could not ask for a more beautiful view from the balcony. Kathy was very responsive and helpful anytime I had a question. Amenities were as listed- enough to get you started but if staying for longer than about 3-4 days, plan on purchasing or bringing soap and shampoo. The location of the rental was perfect. Right by the beach but also centrally located on the island so you can reach the north or south sides easily. Parking on site with a pass provided from the lobby. If the lot is full (as it was for us one evening) you can park in the coconut marketplace by the resort. If keeping food on the counter, make sure it seals well to prevent ants. You have access to the pool and hot tub on site too. Very nice! Definitely would stay here again and recommend this place! Cannot beat the views!!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay September 2024
“At first I was worried that the apartment would be too old, but it turned out to be so cozy and in keeping with the vibe of the resort that I would gladly stay there for at least a month. The apartment has everything you need to live, even a garbage disposal and a dishwasher (which is often missing in modern apartments). I especially liked the view from the balcony and the sound of the ocean. We were there in September and despite the heat during the day, the lack of air conditioning did not bother us at all. I also liked the host who always responded to my messages super quickly.”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay August 2024
“TL; DR: Unit very much as pictured/described, w/ many amenities perfect for any activity you wish to have on the beach. Immaculate, property is on beach line w/ a sneak peek beach view from the lanai. With all the supplies in house, we felt like we lived there for the week – just bring clothes, toiletries and groceries. NOTE: $199 cleaning fee added to booking + chores to do. This was my 1st time to Kauai, so E-16 at Maui Vision Properties was right off the main highway, within 10-15 mins from multiple beaches, heli rides, groceries and 8 minutes from LIH airport. What struck us at first was how much attention to detail, amenities and cleanliness went into the unit. The lanai has a gorgeous view of fountains next door and was a perfect place to watch a view of the beach for the rare sunsets and sunrises that we wanted to stay indoors for. The lanai chest was a genuine treasure – read Kathy’s list, but we used the 2 beach chairs, pool noodle, snorkeling.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay August 2024
“We have always enjoyed the location of the Islander and as always this was a great choice. We really liked the location of the room with view and pool/parking location. Everything that we needed.”

“Perfect location! Ocean front just as described. 2 minute walk to the market. Kathy is a great communicator. We would stay there again! Mahalo Kathy!”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Kathy was an incredible host. She always checked in and was very helpful and responsive. The place was so beautiful and incredibly convenient. So much to do and the best location. I would love to come back.”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Location, location, location! Loved being able to wake up and see the ocean right outside my door! Having the pool and grills so close to the condo was nice as well as the walking path down to Lava Lava! Really enjoyed our stay. Aloha!”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay August 2024
“We really enjoyed our stay. The location is great, the unit is clean and comfortable with a beautiful ocean view. It’s really peaceful and safe. Thank you so much for hosting us! We had a wonderful time!”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Great resort and great location! Close to the best food on the island so we can grab it early morning before it sold out.”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Relaxing space near the ocean conveniently located to go around Kauai. The vibe is very calm and peaceful in the hotel/resort environment. This was perfect for the kind of travellers my partner and I are. Late night and morning watching and hearing the ocean was a joy.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Beautiful view, fresh breeze, excellent location.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay August 2024
“The accommodation was perfect, in a nice and quiet resort by the beach. We even had a room with patio in the front row just across the ocean. Every morning we were greeted by beautiful sunrise and cute chickens on the grass:) there was a great beach restaurant/beach club nearby. There was only a small problem with the key box when we arrived, beacuse the previous guest did not close it the right way (you have to read the instructions carefully), but Kathy send some help and fixed the problem. All in all it was a perfect stay on the beautiful Garden island of Kauai.”

Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Great location with a ton of walkable restaurants and shops. We had a beautiful beach view with a walking/bike path and seating right out the patio door. Very comfortable room and bed!”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Kathy was very responsive & provided insightful information about our whereabouts. She kindly and insightfully answered all & any questions we had during our stay. Thank you for a memorable trip! 🌸🤙🏽”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Great location and clean room.”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay August 2024
“We stayed here for the first part of our stay in Kauai and the location was perfect. It was close to the airport after a long flight and multiple nights, including the first we just walked to restaurants for dinner. We were also able to walk to our kayak tour meetup, which was super convenient. The AC worked well, which we were grateful for since we were there in August and it was hot. We also used the pool during downtime which was nice. The snacks were a nice bonus also! Overall great stay and we would recommend and stay again.”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay August 2024
“We really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect spot being right on the beach, next to the pool and quite a few stores!”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay August 2024
“This Airbnb was a great value for the area. It was clean, safe and so convenient. We loved having access to the pool, hot tuin b and tiki bar. Also, this condo is a great location on the island (split between North and South side). We also enjoyed walking along the path by the ocean. It is easy walking to the fabulous restaurant on the beach, Lava Lava Club. Also, walkable to more low key restaurants like Chicken in A Barrel and coffee shops. The condo was clean and the beds were comfortable. There isn’t access to laundry and since we stayed there about a week I did have to drive to the laundry mat. There are several to choose from on the island. There is air conditioning available but this condo gets great breezes. We stayed in August and never needed anything other than the ceiling fan. I would certainly recommend and use this condo again.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay August 2024
“As we went to the north shore, ate a lot in kapa`a, and visited the south shore, this was a great central location.”
Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay August 2024
“The unit may look dated to some, but we call it charming. We’re an older couple who prefer quiet, serene surroundings with a view of the ocean from the patio and enjoy the peace it offers. Kapa’a is the sweet spot for those wanting to be far from all but near enough to the modern convenience of shops and restaurants. As an end unit, Unit 239 is close to the stairway but we never experienced significant noise (perhaps we’re just hard of hearing now). The resort grounds are very well-kept and the staff is really nice. Room is clean and well-stocked with what you’d expect from a BnB rental. It even has a couple of boogie boards for use if you choose to play in the water. AC is quiet and cool. Bed is comfortable. Strong wifi signal. Kitchenette with stuff you need to have a decent takeout meal. Host is highly responsive. Bottom line: it’s several levels up from camping in a tent, and the price is reasonable for the amenities offered. Highly recommended.”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay August 2024
“We love the location and will be back! Right on the beach and lots of stuff within walking distance.”

Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay August 2024
“We enjoyed our time at Kathy’s place. Though we did not used all of the amenities that were available on the property it was nice to know that is was accessible if we needed to use them. The place is as described. We would recommend this place to any of our family members or friends.”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay August 2024
“Kathy’s condo was perfection! Close to walk down to the beach, beautiful mountain and ocean views, very clean and had everything we needed! The neighbors are lovely. The bed was so comfy! We would def rent the condo again. :)”

Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay July 2024
“This place was absolutely AMAZING!!! 15 minutes from the airport and everything you needed within walking distance. It was centrally located making it easy to explore both the South side and the North side of the island. The host was very responsive and would highly recommend it as the beach is steps from the back door!!! I will be back.”

“Perfect location to stay and visit all that the island has to offer. Space was clean and perfect for 2!”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay July 2024
“The stay at Kathy place was very relaxing and enjoyable. the directions to get inside was accurate and simple. the unit was clean and roomy . the patio opened out directly grassy area just. a few yards from the ocean. The pool and amenities was as described . Shopping was convenient. lots of utensils and dishes available. Be advised no coffee or coffee filters inside unit so make sure you pick them up . but as stated before plenty of options at the community store and the coconut plantation shopping area . very enjoyable stay and would definitely rent again thank you.”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay July 2024
“This was my first time in Kauai and I couldn’t have landed at a better location, I could explore the island easily or just stay in the condo and enjoy all the amenities offered. I look forward to another visit and hope to stay in this great space again!”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay July 2024
“We really enjoy our stay here. The view was beautiful and just steps from the beach, which was a great place to have coffee or relax with a book. The grounds of the resort and the condo were very clean. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Wish there had been a hot plate or some way to cook a meal but the lava lava club is steps away and fresh lattes are as well.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Very friendly and caring host. Always checking up on us to see if there’s anything we could be assisted with. When we come back we’ll definitely stay here!”
Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Beautiful area in the middle of everything. The unit is clean and comfortable nothing crazy but a good place to relax by the pool in between exploring the island!”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay July 2024
“The view from Kathy’s place was gorgeous. Very responsive host.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Kathy’s place has a fantastic view of the ocean that was excellent for watching the sunrise. It was easy to fall to sleep each night listening to the ocean and even though it’s located in town the view of the night sky was amazing with several shooting stars. Centrally located on the island it was the perfect launching point for our daily adventures in every direction!”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Kathy’s place was great! Location was central to both north and south shores. As well as kappa town and restaurants! Bed was comfortable and AC was great.”

Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Enjoyed our stay, beautiful view! Coconut Markeplace was a very convenient place for coffee, meals and shopping!”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay July 2024
“This was exactly as advertised! Beautiful space, few short steps to the beach, plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance. The only hiccup was the key was not in the lockbox when we arrived as promised. However a quick call to the number provided with check in instructions and we were given the housekeeping code and was inside within 5 minutes! This was our 1st trip to Kauai. We are already planning to return and this is the only place we will stay. A big Mahalo to Kathy and her amazing team ❤️”
Islander on the Beach 351- Guest Stay July 2024
“If you are looking for an affordable and well-maintained place to stay on Kauai I highly recommend staying at Kathy’s Airbnb. My girlfriend and I rented out this unit for our week long stay mid July and were very pleased with our experience. This unit is located amidst a hotel complex with beautiful landscaping, friendly staff, a community pool/jacuzzi, and a poolside bar. Kathy’s unit specifically is on the third floor with a stunning view of the water. Upon entry we noticed how clean the unit was with amenities such as minifridges, a microwave, stocked toiletries, etc. Kathy was amazing at checking in and ensuring that our stay was as comfortable as possible. The location is right in-between our two favorite cities to visit, Poipu and Hanalei Bay, which was very convenient for traveling. If you are searching for a stunning view and hotel like accommodations I highly recommend considering this unit!”
Islander on the Beach 163- Guest Stay July 2024
“This condo was a prime location for so many things – the beach, views, restaurants, markets, and chicken viewing! We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee each morning then walked over to the beach to enjoy some sun. It was also quite convenient to walk back to the condo for a quick blended piña colada. The bed was comfortable, the whole space was clean, and overall quite comfortable. It would be nice if they had a bigger sink to prep food and wash dishes but still definitely doable. Will definitely stay here on our next visit to Kauai.”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Awesome location, good price, great communication. If you’re looking for an affordable way to stay next to the beach for 3-4 people, this can’t be beat! The Coconut Marketplace is just across the street and has tons of quick, tasty food options. The pool is great, the people are friendly, and you can walk along the beach on breathtaking paved trails for literally miles in either direction right from the hotel (huge perk for me, I love to walk and hike).”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Loved it there! This unit (room 131) is literally front beach and right next to the pool. So nice getting to-go food and eating right there on the back porch watching the waves. There’s a whole shopping area with restaurants right outside too. I can’t really think of any criticisms other than the bed was a little springy. It’s really a very nice room. It’s a bit pricey, but everything on this island is, so considering that it’s really quite reasonable. Would definitely stay there again. 5-stars.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Such a great spot on the island. Very quiet and everything was close.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay July 2024
“I loved this place. It was right infront of the beach, it didn’t have a/c but we slept with the windows open (had the screen door closed) and the fan brought in a nice breeze and we stayed cool. Hearing the ocean at night and waking up to it was amazing!! There was a table outside with chairs and enjoyed breakfast there every morning. The kitchen was important for us and we cooked often, everything we needed was there. It was a nice quiet place, well kept, not much noise, and a lot of restaurants and shops near by. We will definitely come back and request this room again when we come back. Kathy was quick to respond to any questions I had and was very nice. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place.”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Pretty much what you see is what you get. Location right on the beach. Can listen to waves as you sleep if you want. Very quiet despite being next to lava lava beach club. Never felt interrupted sleeping unless you count active birds in the morning.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay July 2024
“My husband & I stayed a week in Kaua’i and Kathy’s place did not disappoint. The pictures don’t quite do it justice. The views of the ocean and the luscious garden are beautiful! The small beach is only about 50 ft away. The complex is very – clean, quiet, well-maintained. Perfect location; in walking distance to shops and restaurants, and central to anywhere you want to explore on the island. Kathy was very communicative and stayed connected. The place itself is clean and inviting; kitchen has all the essentials, bathroom is small but functional, bed is super comfortable and views throughout. Sleeping with the sound of the waves crashing was so awesome! The fans were enough to keep us cool (a nice gentle breeze occasionally blows through the place). Sitting on the lanai was very relaxing (no cushions though) & the view is amazing! The remotes did not work so we had to operate TV and box manually. Overall, this is a great rental for the price! Do not hesitate, you won’t regret it!”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Amazing location. Waking up to a beautiful view. Stores nearby and restaurants. Parking comes included after you register it in front desk. Highly recommend to stay here.”
Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Our stay was absolutely fabulous! The location was wonderful and extremely convenient and relaxing. There was excellent communication from our host and the price was worth every penny! We had the ocean lulling us to sleep every night. I give my highest 5 star rating in this unit and experience! Thank you for having us!!!”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay July 2024
“Kathy’s place was perfect for us.The view was amazing and it is 50 steps from the door to the beach. There were 3 of us and there was plenty of space. You have anything you could need within walking distance including a market to get little things you might have forgotten or need..Kathy is also very responsive and helpful. We got in late and the airline had lost our luggage. She was quick to suggest places that were close and still open that we could get the things we needed to make it until they found our luggage. We will stay here again when we come back.”

“This is the second time my wife have stayed in these condos. Great location, wonderful amenities. The condo was very clean on arrival. Very comfortable living space. We will be back in the future.”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay June 2024
“You can’t beat the location of Islander on the Beach. Centrally located to so many places, and bonus points for being able to walk to food locations! This isn’t a swimming beach area, but the pool is great and good beaches are a short drive away. The unit is as described and provides a great resting spot between all your Hawaii activities!”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay June – July 2024
“The studio had everything we needed for a great stay. The location was fantastic, the beach was steps from the lanai. Great market within walking distance had great food and groceries as needed. We loved listening to the waves when going to sleep. Location was great, easy to access anywhere on the island. If we are lucky enough to come back to Kauai we would absolutely stay here again. The grounds were beautiful! Pool staff was extremely friendly. Such a relaxing vacation on a beautiful island.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay June – July 2024
“This condo was absolutely spectacular! You really can’t go wrong 10 steps from the ocean. The description was spot on and everything was perfect. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a relaxing getaway to stay here.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay July 2024
“This was a perfect getaway that was literally within walking distance of the beach and also super convenient to many shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend staying here! Kathy was always very available and responsive as well.”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Small & quant..perfect for a couple. It was our second week on the island and we didn’t want to cook, so not having a kitchen was ideal. Everything is within walking distance. The coconut marketplace is a one stop shop with many great dining options from early morning coffee, to a late dinner. The room itself has a beautiful view of the ocean just steps away..perfect for watching the sunrise. I appreciated all the instructions as it prevents me from having to bother the host with questions.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay June 2024
“We enjoyed staying in the unit. It was a great place to come back to after a long day of going around the island. Very quiet at night. The beach behind the property had a nice little tide pool to relax in and huge driftwood logs to sit on. Definitely would stay here again on our next trip to Kauai.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay June 2024
“My daughter and I had a fantastic time staying in the ocean view room! It was perfect for the two of us. Comfortable bed and nice little kitchenette for breakfast and snacks. The balcony was wonderful to sit out and enjoy the view of the ocean and palm trees and listen to the birds. We would stay again next time we visit the island!”
Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay June 2024
“We loved our stay at Islander on the Beach. It’s an incredible location and beautiful grounds!”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay June 2024
“We very much enjoyed this top floor ocean-view efficiency apartment…great view from room and balcony, nice cooling unit for occasional retreat after a day in the sun, fun pool and poolside bar and nearby eateries.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay June 2024
“I was worried about staying in Kapa’a as other friends recommended other parts of the island, but we ended up loving this spot. It is right next to a little outdoor shopping area that saved us many times by being able to walk over and grab a drink, coffee, dinner, tylenol, etc. and the drives to all the places we wanted to go to were not bad at all. The place is on the smaller side, but not ridiculously small or anything. It was very clean and had a pretty nice view on the lanai. Parking was really easy. Really nothing to complain about. Would love to stay here again!”
Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay June 2024
“My husband and I went to Kauai June 2024. We booked this studio condo in Kapaa. Our condo had a beautiful view of ocean and beach. Close to airport. We loved our stay and will be back. The beach does have a lot of large logs and twigs everywhere so definitely wear shoes. The water is too rough to swim in especially with large logs being washed in everyday. The sunrises were beautiful to watch each morning they were more east of condo. The actual condo is perfect for a couple. It is a studio and does not have a full kitchen. So no stove in any of these studios. Also no beach chairs or mats or any other beach gear if you wanted to go elsewhere to swim. There are lounge chairs on the beach to use. There are plenty of places to eat though like Lava lava beach club was right next to condo and coconut market place and had lots of options. We enjoyed the island market store that was right there for everything you would need from breakfast lunch and dinner and groceries and other shopping, souvenirs etc. Kauai is super humid so plan on taking lots of naps. The property grounds are beautiful with different flowers and shrubs. There’s always entertainment at coconut market places with Hawaiian music and dance. Theres farmers market place there as well. We got to see a couple of waterfalls that were really close by. We saw the lighthouse and visited Poipu beach which seems to be the popular beach because sea turtles came up to the shore to bask in the sun and safe for swimming.”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay June 2024
“We loved staying here. The place is very clean and it had all of the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed the balcony and the beautiful ocean view— sunrises are magnificent here! We really liked being so close to so many restaurants and shops at the Coconut Marketplace (right next door). Kathy is extremely easy to work with. The condo is quiet and peaceful. We highly recommend this place!”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Great views, right on the ocean/beach front. Lovely to sit on the lanai and watch/hear the waves. Room was exactly as described / pictured. Comfortable bed, sofa a little small for 2 people sitting in it. But we were out most of the time. Mini Kitchen had all the basics, including a blender. So we were able to make cereal breakfast, coffee. Keep snacks and drinks cold. Convenient location. Overall a very good stay.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay June 2024
“This place is a must stay! No lies were told here, the place is exactly how it’s listed and described. Thank you Kathy!”

“We loved every minute of our stay! The room was a perfect size for just the 2 of us and the kitchen was fully stocked with enough gadgets to make anything we wanted. Nice to have a decent freezer to store bags of ice too. The view was incredible and the pool (with a bar) was super close and fun. Can’t wait to go back!”

“When deciding on a new product or service, I heavily rely on the thoughts and experiences of other consumers. After my visit to this Airbnb, I feel obligated to share my insights on what exceeded my expectations. If you’re considering this space, I encourage you to go ahead and book it. The unit was clean, air-conditioned, and equipped with an in-unit washer/dryer. It was also stocked with cleaning supplies for maintaining hygiene during your stay, as well as beach gear for exploring the island. The villa is located just a 2-minute walk from the Outrigger, where you’ll have access to multiple pools, hot tubs, a bar, and the beach. Although the beach is not swimmable for average or even above-average swimmers, there are safer spots to swim elsewhere on the island. I often feel like nothing is perfect, but in this particular case, this space was excellent and an ideal location to mentally escape the pressures of capitalism.”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay June 2024
“I had an incredible stay at Kathy’s place in Kaua’i. The cleanliness of the accommodation was impeccable, just as described in her listing. Everything was perfect and exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future. Thank you, Kathy, for providing such a wonderful experience.”
Islander on the Beach 356 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Wonderful ocean view. Nice breeze made it so we hardly used the AC (of course, we are people that think 75 is a little too cold). The refrigerator did leak some water onto the floor before we got there but it was taken care of super fast and didn’t happen again (the instructions were specific on how to use all of the amenities). The grounds are well cared for and very beautiful. Such a nice stay.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Everything was amazing! Only complaint was that the resort wouldn’t let us use the laundry facilities.”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Love the stay and Kathy’s response. She gave us late check out! Restaurants, ABC Store & Coffee shop 1 minute away!”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Kathy’s place was just as it was described. The beach/ocean is only about 30 feet away. The sunrises were beautiful. The apartment had plenty of items in the kitchen for take out and simple cooking. The small cooler was great for keeping water cold and holding a small picnic lunch for our adventures. Everything was wonderfully clean and tidy with plenty of instructions. The facility grounds were kept up beautifully. We found the bed to be quite firm for our likings as we prefer beds on the soft side. We would stay in Kathy’s place again as it was a wonderful apartment in an amazing location on an absolutely beautiful island!”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Just wow! This is going to be the best value for oceanfront you can find on the island. Maybe 100 feet from the ocean / sand. There are a couple of lounge chairs in front of the ocean for guest at The Islander (that’s the property this condo is at). It was very private, maybe 1-5 people hanging out in front of the ocean at a time. There is also a walking trail that if you keep going north through the dirt path, turns into a bike trail. The grounds are gorgeous. Felt like I was at a botanical center. Very quiet and safe spot. There are restaurants and shops behind the hotel, including an ABC store. The condo itself is very nice. She had towels, and snorkel gear with a chair as well. Bed was very comfortable. Not too soft, not too hard. Shower head wash held type, good to get sand off. She had two mini fridges for extra food storage. AC, black out curtains, indoor and outdoor table, easy check in, cool bar / pool / hot tub. Over all 10/10.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay June 2024
“This is a wonderful place to stay. A view of the ocean and the sounds of waves crashing! It’s very close to Kapa’a, which is a fun town to explore. Very peaceful and relaxing. We loved it!”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Kathy and the team at Maui and Kauai Vision Rentals were great! They reached out ahead of time to provide clear instructions on how to get to the property. Throughout our trip, they also reached out to us via text and email to ensure that things were going smoothly with our stay. The location of the studio could not be more perfect. It is literally steps away from the beach. It is located directly behind a plaza that has various restaurants, gift shops, and a small market. It is also located about 5 minutes away from the town of Kapa’a which has a grocery store, drug store, and many restaurants. The room itself was clean. All of the basic amenities were there and worked perfectly. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet so falling asleep was easy. Wifi speeds were good. My tests show about 300 Mbps Down and 10 Mbps Up. Good enough to stream videos or have a video call. Overall our stay was great! We would love to stay here again! Thanks again Kathy and team!”

“We had a wonderful time at Kathy’s place. Beautiful views and a walkout right to the beach. Highly recommend!”
Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay June 2024
“Unit 239 was beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Stunning location with beautiful sunrises from the beach just a short walk past the pool. Perfect location to other areas of the island and walkable for food and entertainment. Only suggestion or complaint I have is more towels (bath, beach and kitchen) would have been great but knowing what would be supplied we brought 6 Turkish towels and they got us through. Thanks for letting us stay in your rental 🌸☀️🌊🌈”

Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay May 2024
“Incredible place to stay only steps from the beach and biking/walking path along the beach. Absolutely cannot beat the proximity to the beach. We had everything we needed inside and the host even allowed us to check in a few hours early.”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay May 2024
“Kathy’s place was great! We were right next to the beach and walking distance to great restaurants and places to eat. The pool/spa area was great as well. We would love to come back to Kathy’s place in the future. Thank you!”

Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay May 2024
“We found this place and wanted to stay right on the beach. I loved waking up each day and drinking coffee while watching the ocean waves right outside our door. Conveniently located next to several shops and restaurants adjacent to the coconut marketplace and many things to do around the island.”

“We recently stayed at Aston Islander on the Beach in Kauai. The staff were very responsive and helpful before/during our trip. There were 3 families traveling together and we had some last minute changes to our schedule. The Maui Vision Rentals staff were beyond helpful and went out of there way to help accommodate our changes in a way that worked for everyone. We enjoyed working with Maui Vision Rentals and look forward to working with them again in the future.”

“Kathy’s place is basically right on the beach. it was quiet and felt private despite the walkway in front. it is close to many restursunts and would be a great central place if you are planning on visiting the north and south. kathy is an amazing host who was always available for communication and gave great ideas on what to do in the area. 100% must rent.”
Islander on the Beach 151 – Guest Stay May 2024

Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay May 2024
“I surprised my fiancé for his 40th birthday, and this place Topped it. We stayed 3 nights and it was perfect. The beach is literally steps away from the room, which we enjoyed watching in the morning, and walking to it as well. We plan on coming back, again and again. LOVED this place.”
Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay May 2024
“The room is lovely, clean, with a beautiful view. The area has a gorgeous, quiet beach, a marketplace with shops and restaurants, and lots of excursions within a couple minutes’ walk. Kathy was very flexible with me when I had to change the end date of my stay, due to a miscommunication around my flight. The only downside is that there is a tree right outside the room where a rooster or two live and crow. Earplugs might help the more noise sensitive.”

“Wonderful stay at Kathy’s! Location is perfect on the ocean with everything needed for an excellent getaway. There is a walking path that you can follow as far as you want to go with the most beautiful sunrise each day. Lava Lava next door has an excellent restaurant and best Ono tacos at the Sleeping Giant right off the parking lot!! Hosts were responsive from start to finish including taking care of an a/c issue. We normally don’t even run the air on island as the ocean breezes are nice but it was particularly warm/humid the first night. After one text they sent someone out the following day! Kapa’a is beautiful and has a lot to offer. We hiked and kayaked and hiked some more! Beautiful secluded waterfalls and caves, sea turtles and tortoises! This was our 5th trip to Kauai. We would definitely stay at Kathy’s again. Mahalo!”

Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay April 2024
“This was our third time in Kaua’i, and our second time renting one of Kathy’s units. We love the location and how close it is to Coconut Marketplace and its shops and restaurants. We also like how it is centrally located for when we want to visit both the north and south shores of the island. We thoroughly loved being on the ground floor this time. It made it very easy for walking outside for morning sunrises. The studio had everything we needed for a weeklong stay. The check in/check out instructions were straightforward, and Kathy proactively responded whenever we had a question. We will definitely look for more of Kathy’s listings when we return to the Garden Isle later this year.”

Until then, enjoy this peaceful serenity.”

“The really very small studio is superbly furnished and it lacks nothing. Bathroom with huge shower and good jet. The bed is comfortable, there is even vinegar l, oil, salt and pepper. There’s a folder with great recommendations. The landlords are super nice and very helpful. You can also have a hot plate on request. We stayed there for 1 night and felt comfortable in “Alfs Garage”
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay March 2024
“Lovely stay, true to photos, and so peaceful. Beautiful sunrises wake you up, no need for TV with the ocean view! Very walkable to nearby shops and town. A car is better but I like walking. Balcony feels private and the residents are quiet, regular schedules. Even the club bar nearby is quiet, not rowdy at all. Amenities are abundant, I didn’t even need the second fridge. Overall wonderful stay and absolutely would return.”

This house will forever be a special place by the ocean for our family. We made so many memories and had a ball! Thank you for sharing this property with our family! We enjoyed it immensely! Mahalo!”

Location was perfect! We could walk to a whole bunch of restaurants and shops. We loved the town of Kapa’a! And we loved how centrally located the condo was as we drove often south to Poipu and north to Hanalei and the drive was never too long. The resort is very nice also! The condo is simple and sweet, we would definitely stay there again!”

“Perfect spot! Perfectly described as published. Beautiful location, beautiful grounds. Nicely located near food, coffee and shops. Had everything we needed. I had some last minute changes with my travel plans and Kathy was responsive and very accommodating. Haven’t had great AirBnB experiences lately, so Kathy was a breathe of fresh air. Only thing I would change are the hard(er) pillows, but I have neck issues so am typically more sensitive in this area. Would definitely return!”

“Great!”
Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay March 2024
“Our stay was wonderful. We booked at the last minute, and were very lucky to find a place with such a great ocean view and in such a nice area.

It was really nice to be such a short walk from Lava Lava Beach Club, and the Coconut Marketplace was a perfect area for everything we could think to need.”

“Spent a week in unit 245 at Islander at the Beach in late November 2023. My wife and I have stayed at the Islander many times but this was our first stay using Maui Vision Rentals. Communication was perfect and all pertinent information concerning check in and out was provided. I highly recommend The Islander. The amenities including the pool, tiki bar, and landscaping are outstanding. It should also noted that the 300 building is ocean front. Shopping and restaurants are are well within walking distance just across the parking lot.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay March 2024
“Condo was in a great location, central to the island and close shopping nearby. Nice pool and hot tub area. A couple of good food options close by if you don’t want to cook (Sleeping giant grill shares the same parking lot and a Thai place in the Coconut market). Kathy was great to deal with and instructions for getting into condo and parking were clear. We enjoyed our stay in the condo and would stay there again!”

Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay March 2024
“Our stay at Islander 351 was incredible! Waking up to the ocean (and roosters) was so relaxing, and the property was just beautiful. There’s easy free parking, a beautiful pool/hot tub, and a gorgeous beach in front of it! The location is impeccable- so walkable to things nearby & centrally located on the island so we could be north, south, or west in ~30-45 mins. The bed is soooo cozy & the air conditioning works well! The condo is very basic but had everything we needed (loved the freezer/fridge in addition to the small one under the cabinet). There’s no hot plate or oven (only a toaster & microwave) but there are 3 outdoor grills. The silverware & dinnerware could definitely use an upgrade but we just got some plastic utensils from food trucks we ate at nearby. Kathy & her team were so responsive & checked in proactively. The instructions were super clear. We even extended our stay for another 5 nights bc we didn’t want to leave! Cannot wait to come back to this condo!”

This unit is a walkout right to the beach and has a gorgeous sunrise view. Extremely easy check-in and check-out process and they make it very easy to access the unit. Parking was super convenient as we had a rental car. Very communicative and helpful to make sure our stay was great. Highly recommend!”
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay February-March 2024
“Very responsive of any issues for example, AC remote on wall instead of desk. For 11 days, a little more soap and TP would be nice. View was amazing ad we woke up first day to a monk seal directly out front of us and it stayed all day! Easy walk to Lava Lava and the market.”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay February 2024
“This is our second time staying at Aston, first time in this unit. Overall beautiful property. The room had all the essentials and overall very clean and quiet even though it is closer to the parking lot. Can use some little upgrades such as newer towels, additional floor mat inside by the door, more lights in the room. Appreciate the management team replacing the hair dryer so promptly. Thank you for a great stay.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay February 2024

Hope to come back next year.”

Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay February 2024
“We loved our stay here. The location of the unit is ideal for views and sounds of the ocean, as well as as access to a paved public walkway. We enjoyed having many food options within walking distance and being able to bring the food back to enjoy the meals right outside the backdoor. There is a small fridge and a microwave for storing leftovers and reheating. Parking is convenient at the front of the complex and it was easy to pick up a parking pass at the front desk when we first arrived. It’s a short walk from the parking lot to the building and pretty easy to find with the map. For a downstairs unit with other adjacent units on both sides, we never dealt with any noise issues and everyone was very friendly and respectful!”

“
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay February 2024
“We had the best time staying at Kathy’s place! It was our first trip to Kauai and we felt so at home and truly comfortable. We loved falling asleep to the relaxing sounds of the ocean and waking up to it as well, could not have asked for a better view! Seriously A+! The beach was beyond gorgeous, not over crowded at all – we even got to see a baby seal! Also, we appreciated the easy access to a cute little marketplace, nice restaurants and fun shops. Honestly, we were very sad to leave Kauai and Kathy’s place, we hope to return again someday!”

“Enjoyed the view from the lanai. Great location.”
Islander on the Beach 356 – Guest Stay February 2024
“We had such an amazing time at Kathy’s place. The grounds are so lovely, with pool, beach and boardwalk right in front. The lava lava beach club for food right next door is so fun as well. The value for money of this place is unbeatable, with convenient location near Kapa’a to get around the island ! You won’t regret booking!”

“This small studio condo was great for our 5-day stay on Kauai! We loved the view of the water and palm trees, and it was very convenient having shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. Even though we experienced a windy week, we made very good use of the relatively sheltered patio. The bed and sheets were comfortable, and the kitchenette and bathroom met our needs. The hosts are great communicators. We really enjoyed our stay!”
Islander on the Beach 351 – Guest Stay February 2024

“Great location walk to beach, stores, eats etc. Also central for driving North and South.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay February 2024
“The place was great, and the view couldn’t be beat. Nice private beach just down some steps, and a more “public” beach just a short walk up for protected swimming. They were very responsive to us. Both at booking with a date hiccup, and throughout our stay. We’ll be staying here again in the future.”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay February 2024
“Location, Location, Location! Sooooo close to the ocean, restaurants, stores and entertainment yet quiet and delightful.”
Anahola Beach House – Guest Stay February 2024
“We loved this home so much. I hosted a Yoga Retreat for 18 women and it was the perfect spot. Lots of different rooms with beds. Each room was clean and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms were very clean. We used the kitchen for a week’s worth of meals! It was filled with appliances, spices, and extra condiments. I wish we would have known how many condiments were actually there! We added in a second coffee maker as one wouldn’t cut it for 18 women to have coffee in the morning! The ability to do yoga in the courtyard, on the beach or the back yard was marvelous! Meditation and activities were just great! The living room and dining room table held all of us comfortably. Air Conditioning in every room with their own thermostat was perfect for all 18 of us! The owners happened to be taking care of some outdoor work projects and we absolutely loved them. We found ourselves communicating frequently and they were so responsive to all of our needs. 5 STARS!”

“We loved staying at Kathy’s place. It was an amazing trip.”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay January – February 2024
“Our party stayed in units 151 and 152. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The units were clean, linens clean and fresh, refrigerators were clean and fresh smelling, patio furniture was clean and the bathroom was clean. The building is an old building and has been there for quite some time – there was the normal smell of damp wood. That is common considering the close proximity to the sea. Next time, I will just bring a small diffuser. That being said, we would definitely stay here again. The condo landscaping is stunning and the view from the apartment is magnificent! We usually want to be out and about but we actually loved taking time to just sit on our patio and relax as we watched the waves. Hearing the ocean when we went to sleep at night was the best! The location is absolutely perfect! Coconut marketplace is right behind Islander on the Beach. Lots of eating options, a marketplace and tons of clothes and souvenir shops. You can also get to anywhere on the island easily.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay January – February 2024

“Kathy’s Aston Islander studio is a true gem. She and her team are super friendly and responsive to guest needs. We just completed a 17day stay and it was wonderful. From the beautiful ocean view to the gorgeous tropical grounds…. Aston Islander is the best value on the island and Kathy’s studio is the perfect spot. Walkable to wonderful restaurants, the pool and hot tub are awesome and the ocean is your “backyard”! Would not hesitate to stay in this lovely studio again. We truly loved it!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay January 2024
“It was a good choice for the two of us—within walking distance to beach, park, path and some shopping. We don’t have a price comparison with comparable places but think the cost was fair. Good response to questions and no problems in our room.”

“We loved being right next to the ocean. The condo is centrally located which made it easy to travel to different areas. We really enjoyed our stay!”
Kauai Beach Villa E16 – Guest Stay December – January 2024
“Truly this was the perfect place to stay! I feel like we won the lottery with this place. Her condo is part of a larger resort, so we had access to the beautiful swimming pools and hot tubs a few minutes walk away. The resort also has a water slide! (Very important if you have children :) The ocean is viewable from her condo, and it’s perfectly located. Close to the airport, and it’s an hour from Waimea State park, and an hour from Haena state park, and it was about 30 minutes or less to all the other activities we did (mountain tubing, ATV riding, helicopter ride, zip lining). Her condo is even more beautiful and comfortable than the pictures convey. It was clean and tidy, and the bed was huge and comfy. We loved the couch and huge tv. Kathy/Tanya were incredibly responsive to questions. I felt like their priority was making sure my son and I had a good time and enjoyed our stay. I miss this place already and hope to come back some day!”
Islander on the Beach 154- Guest Stay December – January 2024
“Wonderful stay, great value and the bed was very comfortable!”
Islander on the Beach 153- Guest Stay December – January 2024
“The little apartment is beautiful, just steps from the beach. The condominium is well kept, the pool, jacuzzi, bar, all great. The location at Kapa’a is the best. Right on the east side is in the middle of the island so you can access the north and south/west fast and easy. Just 15 from the airport. We had a great time! Highly recommended.”

“Great spot & fantastic location. View could not be beat! Very responsive hosts. Will definitely stay at Kathy’s place again in the future.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay December 2023
“We really enjoyed Kathy‘s place! It is directly, and I mean directly oceanfront And this is important to me,..And very close to get to the sand, within a minute or two. The e only drawback is there is a slight incline to get down to the sand. It’s not bad..,kids could do it easy.. and healthy people easy. But it might be hard for anyone that had a disadvantage of any kind. That being said, the beach is gorgeous. The area is gorgeous. The swimmable beach is to the left, a small walk. But the beach right in front of you has an overflow dunking area, safe from the rocks. A perfect place to set up your chairs and umbrella (provided by her) and just relax.. Kathy‘s place is also well located. There was the most delicious “Passion Bakery” directly across the road. Famous for its Malasadas, and great coffee and lots of great breakfast dishes/options . Also “Lava Lava” a restaurant just a five minute walk, has the most beautiful view, great food and free music every night.”

Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay November – December 2023
“Great location!!! Easy to get to the North and South of Kauai. There are many shops, restaurants, and convenient services within few minutes walk or drive. The place is right at the beach, which is perfect to watch the sunrise or take a dip. My only wish is that the kitchen area would be a more lit up, maybe add a mounted lamp. I would definitely come back and recommend the place.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay December 2023
“Hi Kathy, We had a fantastic stay! We loved the location and gave you 5 stars all around. Thank you! Just a few minor tips for improvement: -update the sign on front door with correct check-in check-out times -change batteries in some of the remote controls -when windows are closed the air inside becomes very stale and it almost smells moldy. If there is anything that could be done about this I would try. -provide a few more hanging options for towels etc outside since hanging on chairs isn’t allowed. Inside nothing would dry properly.”
Islander on the Beach 356 – Guest Stay November – December 2023
“I love Kathy’s home! It’s great from the beach location, view, amenities, comfort level and Kathy’s flexibility when I had to revise my dates do to scheduling mistake on my part. To my surprise, when I arrived I realized I had stayed at this property 10 years ago and felt like it was a true “homecoming” to a safe and loving place. Absolutely and definitely I will return again although it will be a lot sooner than 10 years!!!”

Islander on the Beach 323 – Guest Stay November 2023
“If you are looking for the most perfect, tropical and laid-back vacation location, think no further than his spot! The third-floor room overlooking the ocean was the envy of everyone else in the Islander by the Beach complex! It’s in the perfect corner spot on the north side and walkable to the Lava Lava Beach Club where I had Thanksgiving dinner and also watched all the NFL games. Perfect bar on the beach next to the water, all open-air. Super easy check-in with a keypad entry. Owner is extremely proactive and responsive. There was a beach chair there for me to use and there are lounge chairs all along the oceanfront to use. The pool and hot tub and bar are footsteps away in the middle of the complex. You can use the sidewalk in front of the complex to go on morning walks and you are across the parking lot from a huge marketplace with restaurants and shops and grocery store. Everything you can possibly need! Four stars!”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay November 2023
“This place was so convenient and perfect for us! I loved being able to walk to the beach and watch the sunrise. It was super clean and i loved that they had a coffee maker. Very close to multiple restaurants and a little grocery. Space was exactly as described.”
Islander on the Beach 163 – Guest Stay November 2023
“We loved this spot! We walked to the cute little coffee shop every morning and then enjoyed the sunrise on the beach that was just steps from the condo. There were a ton of great restaurant options within a very short walking distance, which was so nice to have after long days of adventures. We loved having a pina colada in the hot tub every evening and meeting other travelers and locals. We would definitely stay here again!”

Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay October 2023
“This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at Islander on the beach in the Hawaii building. It has a view of the water but not direct on the boardwalk so it’s much more private. Being on the 3rd floor you can leave the slider door open and hear the ocean. This unit was great with having the extra table holding the microwave it gave you more counter space by the sink. The refrigerator was big enough to hold our snacking foods but we ate dinners out. We didn’t use the bbq’s near the pool. Safeway is only a mile north and the shaved ice next to ABC store uses natural fruits instead of artificial. we don’t recommend the store Big Savings it was actually more expensive. Coconut marketplace is right behind you and has lots of great shopping options. This unit doesn’t have beach chairs but there is a rental place next to Sleeping giant grill (great food) that rents chairs and other great beach stuff. The beach wasn’t great for swimming but 1 mile south is Lydgate beach and it’s awesome. We did a day trip up to Waimea canyon. Go early (left at 7:30am) to get up there before clouds come in. We did the tubing with Kauai Backcountry and loved it. Overall I highly recommend this condo. Bed was comfortable and it was very clean. The units are older so just expect some wear and tear.”

“The apartment is functional and well arranged. From the balcony where it is very nice to eat, ocean view. Nearby restaurants and supermarkets. We had a great stay.”
Islander on the Beach 356 – Guest Stay October – November 2023
“This place was perfect as a home base for exploring the whole island. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby (even within walking distance), and the rest of the island isn’t more than 1-1.5 hours away at most. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked very well (when we needed it). I only wish I would have booked for longer!”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay October 2023
“Loved my stay here! Very convenient location and the beach was right there!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay October 2023
“We enjoyed our stay at Kapaa Sands! The unit was in a central location next to many restaurants and shops. Farmers market was active a couple of days during our stay and was a several block walk away. We loved walking to the Lava Lava Beach Club and swimming at the beach there. We thought it was the most peaceful place to post up for the day, not too crowded and the waves were fun for swimming. This is a great stay for people who are early risers and get after their day. However, if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs as there are roosters that like to crow late in the night and really early in the morning, we also had a colicky baby staying in the unit next to us for the last few nights we were there, so we were glad we came prepared with earplugs. Also bring a sleeping mask as the early morning light is bright and the curtains don’t block out any light. All those things are out of the hosts control though-we thought the host was lovely, very responsive and kind.”
Islander On The Beach 356 – Guest Stay October 2023
“I really enjoyed my stay. Great place, good location, right on the beach. The room was perfect for one, in good shape, well taken care of, had everything I needed for 5 days. Very comfortable, having Lava Lava Beach Club right next door was nice treat.”
Islander On The Beach 153 – Guest Stay October 2023
“This was perfect for our 8 days. As someone noted, it is small, but we kept things neat and it worked for us. We loved that we could walk right out onto the beach, and just a little way down was nice snorkeling. It was close to Lava Lava and the Coconut Market. We also enjoyed walking down to the Sheraton’s Crooked Surf and it was a quick drive to Oasis on the Beach – ukelele player on Wednesdays was great! We did a lot of hiking and there were trails nearby. It was also not too bad to drive to Princeville and hike a little north of there. The main attraction was the morning sunrise…spectacular!”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay October 2023
“This was a great place to stay. The grounds were beautiful. The condo was fully stocked. Everything you could think of was there.

Kaua’i Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay September 2023
“Your place was fantastic. So clean! I usually end up cleaning at least the dishes prior to use, but I have to say your place was spotless. Not an easy job with the glass like floors. We loved staying at your place. More than our budget but it turns out it was worth it. We liked the use of the pool/jacuzzi next door as well. Thanks!”
Islander On The Beach 363 – Guest Stay October 2023
“I will be back. The location of the unit was great. The ocean view can’t be beat. I loved the proximity to the beach, downtown Kapaa and the walking path.

Islander On The Beach 356 – Guest Stay September – October 2023
“Great location in Kapa’a, which is a great midpoint between everything to see & do on Kauai. The nearby attractions are 5 min away by car and shops & restaurants are a quick walk too.

Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay September 2023
“If you are on the fence about booking this place, jump off and book it. The pictures are exactly what is described and it is even better in person. The grounds are beautiful and the unit was so clean and felt like home. The view from the balcony is absolutely real and such a wonderful perk. It is within walking distance of a beautiful walkway to the beach for any sunrise, sunset or moonlit walk. We grilled our dinner using the resort’s grills on the Sunday we were there and it felt extra special to eat surrounded by the tiki light torches while listening to the crashing waves. We loved how centrally located this unit was since we took advantage of exploring all parts of the island. It was the perfect spot, I promise. Do yourself a favor and don’t delay. You can rest assured that you will be taken care of when you stay here.”
Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay September 2023
“Kathy is an awesome hostess, and the room was great. The location is perfect beautiful view of the ocean, and pool area. The apartment was clean and stocked with necessities.

Check in was simple, and the apartment was just as advertised. Kathy was helpful and responsive throughout the process. The location of the lodging was absolutely perfect. Right next to the pool with a beautiful ocean view. The property is very walkable, with restaurants and shops nearby. We had a great time in Kauai and cannot wait till our next visit.”

“What a great location! It was so nice to be able to step outside the room and enjoy the beach/ocean. The sunrises were breath taking. Kathy’s place is conveniently located to some great restaurants and shops. The room itself is small but plenty for two people who plan to sleep there and adventure during the day. Great location. Amazing orientation to the water.”

A really great location priced very nicely. Five stars! Would definitely rent again.”

“I am very impressed with the staff. I called for maintenance because when we arrived the toilet wasn’t flushing properly. He was here in 15min. I am not kidding. That fast. The sreen door lock was not working and I wanted to leave the door open at night. It was fixed right away. We locked our selves out one evening on the way to dinner the house keeper helped us get in within minutes. We weren’t late for dinner reservation. I love this place.The location is right on the ocean. Beautiful! The location perfect half way to everything.”

Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay September 2023
“We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation is really great, very well placed on the island to enjoy all the activities in the north and south! We recommend this accommodation 100% with a bonus for the sea view Thank you again.”

Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay September 2023
“Awesome location. Gorgeous views. A great little place to stay. I would absolutely recommend and have been to everyone!”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay September 2023
“We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo is directly overlooking the ocean, so it was exactly what we were looking for. The bed is comfortable and the AC was heaven. The bathroom is a little dated but clean. I wouldn’t say it is fancy or luxurious but the location is unbeatable! The whole resort was impeccable, great landscaping and, good pool & tiki bar area. Tons of restaurants close by. We really enjoyed our time here.”

“We loved staying at this place! It was clean, had great reviews and was right next to some local restaurants and markets. Would 100% book this place again! Kathy was also extremely helpful and communicative prior and throughout our stay!”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay September 2023
“Location is absolutely perfect. Waking up and having coffee on the patio only steps away from the ocean was the best. So beautiful that I even PROPOSED to my gf in the grass behind our place (she said yes). The place was clean and comfy as long as you didn’t need AC. Ocean breeze was enough for us.”
Islander On The Beach 151 – Guest Stay September 2023
“This was our first trip to Kauai and wow we can’t wait to come back!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay September 2023
“Very nice place to stay. Great communication and very comfortable.”
Islander On The Beach 245 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“We decided to stay at Aston Islander on the beach for nostalgic reasons, as we also stayed at the complex in 2002 when my wife I and got married on Ke’e Beach. The pictures online matched perfectly with the unit. Kathy was responsive throughout the entire booking process. The unit is not overly spacious, but it was just perfect for two people. The views of the beach were perfect on the lanai. I enjoyed coffee just about every morning there. The complex also has a nice pool and hot tub, which we used frequently. Both were closed for one day due to maintenance, but it wasn’t that big of a deal. The unit is right next to the Coconut Marketplace, which we walked to a lot for restaurants and to get some groceries at the corner grocery store. The location for the unit is also central for exploring both the west and north shores of the island. The only minor issue we had was with the bed. While not uncomfortable, it was very loud whenever we moved around on it.”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“This place was perfect!! Super clean, modern, and had all the essentials and amenities, especially coffee (super important for me lol). Very short walk to the resort next door to use the pool/hot tub and eat at the restaurants! it’s a super convenient location that is a short drive away to gas stations, places to eat, etc. Kathy was super helpful when I needed assistance and is very kind and responsive!”
Islander On The Beach 323 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Good place for vacation with an amazing view and with all convenience close to the location.”
Islander On The Beach 320 – Guest Stay August 2023
“The location was wonderful, beach view, quaint shopping center a short walk that had restaurants, shops, groceries and live music. It was a peaceful retreat after a day of snorkeling and paddle boarding. Grounds were beautiful. The lanai was my favorite part – you could sit out and watch the ocean and the chickens. We slept with the door open and were pulled to sleep by the ocean. We did had some issues, most were resolved. We would stay there again – if the coffee maker was working”
Islander On The Beach 131 – Guest Stay August 2023
“I would 100% stay there again. Nice clean room with everything you need. Perfect location. Great communication. There was not one thing wrong with our stay!”
Islander On The Beach 160 – Guest Stay August 2023
“We were very pleased with the unit we were in. We thought the bed might be a little smaller than a queen but it was comfortable nonetheless. I’m sure that if I had read all of the things I should have read that we wouldn’t have gotten a parking violation! No harm no foul. If we ever come back to Kauai, I am sure we will want to stay here again! Only thing we wish there could be would be a washer/dryer in the unit or at least in the building where the office and front desk are located. The proximity to the beach outshone all other aspects of this location!”
Islander On The Beach 152 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Amazing location! It was our first time in Hawaii and this room steps from the beach was exactly what we envisioned for a convenient stay! Directions for check out and check in were clear. We had everything we would have needed for our week’s stay in the room!”
Islander On The Beach 356 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Amazing experience at Kathy’s place. The beach is just steps away. We woke up and watched the sunrise every morning and then started our day. Great food nearby as well.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Needed to spend time alone. Kathy’s casa was perfect.”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay August 2023
“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kathy’s place. It was clean, very comfortable, and extremely peaceful. It was perfect for the quiet getaway we were hoping for. Kathy was very responsive to any questions we had. It was a nice location with easy access to the pools and adjoining hotel amenities. We would definitely stay here again.”
Islander On The Beach 328 – Guest Stay August 2023
“The accommodation is in a fantastic location with a beautiful view from the balcony, directly on the sea! There is a pool and hot tub and the whole complex is very nice! Shops are within walking distance. I would come back anytime!”
Islander On The Beach 163 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Kathy’s place is in a top location, a few steps from the beach and a nice pool area, which is well maintained. The apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable.The room is however relatively small and when you open the sleeper couch, space is rather limited. That was ok since we remained just two nights, but for longer stays of 3 or more people it is not ideal. Other than that it was a lovely place and we were satisfied with it for the last 2 days in Kauai. Kathy has always communicated promptly and in a friendly manner.”
Islander On The Beach 152 – Guest Stay August 2023
“The room was exactly if not better than I expected. The location was perfect for seeing all sides of the island, but I really loved the beach directly in front of me. Perfect spot. I loved my stay at this condo and would definitely book again. Hopefully soon!”
Islander On The Beach 152 – Guest Stay August 2023
“We loved our experience! The location was unbeatable!! We had some cable issues but that wasn’t anyone’s fault. Loved it!”
Islander On The Beach 163 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“This is the best place for the money. You were right on the beach with plenty of amenities and restaurants within walking distance staying in the middle of the island really helped for going north and south each day when we traveled to do things the photos description accurately describes where you’re staying. This particular unit is the closest unit to the beach staying on the bottom floor was very beneficial as well.”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Great place, very clean, nice decor and nice tropical setting with a view of the ocean. So nice falling asleep to the sound of the waves. Nice pool – lush foliage, very clean and private. Good location within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Kathy was very helpful with a last-minute change to my reservation. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place with an authentic feel of old Hawaii.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“Such an incredible stay. You open the back door to the ocean. There’s little steps to walk down and you’re right on a beautiful private beach. Stayed here as a solo woman and felt super safe even with doors and windows open for the breeze at night! Really recommend!!”
Islander On The Beach 239 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“Great quite location room had a great view. We loved the area! Communication was quick and easy. Everything was in walking distance that you may need. We will definitely be back. We had a great time!”
Islander On The Beach 160 – Guest Stay August 2023
“The unit had a beautiful ocean view and was in a great location. There were tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance and the poolside bar was a major plus. We would definitely stay here again !!”
Islander On The Beach 151 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“Had a great stay at this location! Being able to walk straight out the slider to chairs on the beach was amazing and lots of food options in close walking distance. The door was a little tricky to open at times with the key but once we got the hang of it it was easier. Overall a great place to stay and would definitely stay again.”
Islander On The Beach 363 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“Kathy’s place was right at the beach. it faces east and we saw the sunrise every morning at the beach. it’s quiet with a balcony. the community itself is perfect. plenty of places to eat and shop within 5 mins of walking. There is a marketplace for all your grocery needs. I’ll stay here again.”
Islander On The Beach 328 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“Beautiful view of the ocean. Loved being able to sleep listening to the sound of the waves. It is part of a resort/condo area so expect lots of people to walk by but still fairly quiet. The location near the Coconut Marketplace was very nice.”
Islander On The Beach 351 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“Excellent location and super cozy! Great view!”
Islander On The Beach 131 – Guest Stay August 2023
“The apartment is located in a beautiful resort right by the ocean. Restaurants and souvenir stores are right across the street. The communication with the host was very easy. Thanks for everything!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay August – September 2023
“PERFECT location on Kauai for one week. Walkable to restaurants and a quick drive to grocery and shops and the towns of Kapa’a and Lihu’e. The studio was in good condition and much less dated than comparable ones on the island. View of the beach and a great pool. Kathy was super responsive and helpful. The place was clean and perfect for a couple. 5/5!”
Islander On The Beach 305 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Beautiful place, lots of shops, easy access to beach.”
Islander On The Beach 160 – Guest Stay August 2023
“I loved staying here! The location is amazing and you really are beachfront! The host was responsive the entire trip and communicated via Airbnb. The staff at the hotel are also very friendly and sweet. Overall, a great place to stay!”
Islander On The Beach 343 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Great accommodation. The resort is not too big. Free parking. Good starting point for activities.”
Islander On The Beach 328 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Wonderful area with the most amazing view. We loved the complex and its surroundings. The pool and hot tub were a really nice amenity. You’d think the hot tub is useless during the summer, but with the night breeze and extra sore hiking muscles, you’ll love it. The apartment is slightly outdated, which we were aware of from the pictures, but so comfortable. The beach right outside makes for the most incredible sunrise/sunset views. The blackout curtains will sort that out if you’re a late sleeper. Walking to caffès, and restaurants is a priceless convenience as parking is a commodity. Can’t wait to come back!”
Islander On The Beach 131 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Perfect location couldn’t be closer to the beach!”
Kapaa Sands Unit 10 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Amazing location! It felt like a private beach. Surf Spot, Kayaking, and Hiking at walking distance. We will definitely come back.”
Kapaa Sands Unit 10 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Very worth it!!!!”
Islander on the Beach Unit 151 – Guest Stay July – August 2023
“Islander on the beach room 151 is a clean and adequately stocked space in a great location on Kauai just steps from the ocean. Parking and check-in were easy and the room was clean and comfortable. There are many food and shopping options within a five minute walk and many more within a five minute drive. We were able to access nearly the entirety of Kauai within a 45 minute drive North or South. The room had some beach chairs that proved useful and had easy access to a beautiful but wild beachfront only steps from the lanai. The room also has a small kitchen sink, a decent sized fridge/freezer and a well stocked cabinets. Kathy mentions in the listing that the cost of the room is able to be lower because you have to pay for room cleanings or linen exchange. This was a slight hassle, but we’re able to utilize a laundromat a few minute drive down the road to wash and dry our clothes in under an hour for less than $20. Overall, we loved our stay in this space.”
Islander on the Beach Unit 305 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Beautiful place, lots of shops, easy access to beach.”
Islander on the Beach Unit 160 – Guest Stay August 2023

Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay August 2023
“All perfect.”
Islander on the Beach Unit 356 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Islander 356 was the perfect place for us to stay! The unit was clean and the owner/management company answered all of our questions promptly. Every morning we walked a few steps to the beach. My sister did her morning run on the beach path every day! There were so many walkable places to eat. We got our coffee and breakfast at Coconut marketplace every day. Thank you for hosting us at your place! We will definitely be back.”
Islander on the Beach Unit 320 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Great location. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Very nice grounds. The beach is right there! Just beautiful. The bartender at the Poolside bar was great. Kathy’s crew was very responsive to any needs. The room had a great view. We would stay here again.”
Kauai Beach Villas E16 – Guest Stay August 2023
“This is one of the BEST Airbnb’s I have stayed at so far. The host and management helped with all my concerns, they even provided new pans for us to cook with after the first day in. It’s in a beautiful resort location, you can’t go wrong staying here!”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay August 2023
“Beautiful resort, great location, nice host and clean room. There is no kitchen with fires but there are two small fridge, microwave, toaster and blender.”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay July – August 2023
“Place was right on the beach! Kathy was very responsive!”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay July 2023
“Absolutely perfect location right in front of the beach and next to the bike trail. Very comfy bed with great air conditioning, although we turned it off at night to leave the patio door open to hear the ocean waves. Close enough to town and restaurants, but far away enough to soak up some peace and quiet. Would stay again in a heartbeat.”
Islander on the Beach 305 – Guest Stay July 2023
“Loved my view from the unit. Quiet just like I wanted.”
Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay July – August 2023
“The location is amazing!”
Islander on the Beach 320 – Guest Stay July 2023
“Very nice room next to restaurants and a market area and close to the beach.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay July 2023
“We really enjoyed our stay! Great location, as it was drivable to and from both the north and south sides of the island. Perfect for a couple looking to spend the day exploring Kauai and then coming home to a nice cool condo to get some rest and hang out. The lanai was just steps to a great beach, pool, and various dining/coffee options. Kathy was very responsive to any questions we had easy to communicate with. Parking was easy with a parking pass in the lot. Peaceful, accessible stay far from all the touristy, busy resorts and hotels. Would stay here again!”
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay July – August 2023
“Beautiful place right by the ocean. Comfortable and conveniently located.”
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay July – August 2023
“Amazing place! Hearing the beautiful ocean waves at night was a dream.”
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay July – August 2023
“Apartment was great, 10 seconds walk to the beach, close to shops, and restaurants. All we needed for an awesome vacation in Kauai!!!”
Islander on the Beach 343 – Guest Stay July 2023
“This is a beautifully well-located Condo overlooking the sea and the pool area with all the amenities of a hotel and well-stocked kitchen facilities. It is a few minutes walk to shops and a super market which was very helpful as I didn’t have a car.”
Kauai Beach Villa E16 – Guest Stay July 2023
“This condo was AMAZING! Great location, private and close to amenities. Access to the resort pool area was awesome! The condo itself is super clean and up to date and they have put a lot of thought into the tiny details that make a place feel like you are home. Would stay here again! We had a blast and love the location of Lihue and this condo. Awesome!”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay July 2023
“What a beautiful, quiet location! We never heard the other guests on either side of us. We were on the ground floor and had great access out the sliding door to the walkway and the beach. Don’t expect to swim at this beach, or even build too many sand castles. The sand is coarse here and there are lava flows just under the waves. But it was a great location. Halfway between the north and south ends of the island. If you are coming and want a great location, this is it! By the way – if you want to hike or visit Haena state park or hike the Kalalau trail, you will need to get advance tickets. Like WEEKS IN ADVANCE! Also, make sure you download the Shaka Guide on your App Store. There are great little suggestions for off the beaten path locations!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay July 2023
“Lovely place and host. The condo was clean and comfortable. The host is helpful and proactive. The area itself is beautiful and peaceful. It does get very warm/humid so pay mind there is no AC. Overall good experience. The only criticism I have is I wish that the host would leave some cooking basics (cooking oil) other than dishes.”
Islander on the Beach 153 – Guest Stay July 2023
“The view and atmosphere when sitting on the lenai and looking out to the ocean is unmatched. It’s peaceful , beautiful, and absolutely the best feature. The room is a bit small so when staying for an extended time it can start to feel cluttered if not super organized all the time. The lack of a kitchen meant eating out more often but it’s not a big issue. It’s close to the airport and being directly next to the coconut marketplace is especially convenient. The second best feature is being in the resort. Since it’s a privately owned rental there’s some resort amenities you don’t get access to, like laundry(which is tough during an extended stay) and pool towels from the lobby, but the pool and spa are excellent and there is a bar at the pool which is a plus! Overall we loved the place and the atmosphere!”
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay July 2023
“Awesome place, close to everything and perfect view. Also, Kathy was super responsive.”
Islander on the Beach 154 – Guest Stay July 2023
“We really liked this place. Clean with a terrace giving access to the beach. A superb place to see the sunrise with its coffee.”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay July 2023
“We enjoyed our stay on Kauai, not only because of the environment, nature, turtles, sealife, food but also because of the lovely condo. Situated on the first floor, close to the beach with a actual beachview. The condo was clean had enough towels, soaps, etc. Perfect place to stay! If we return we will definitely go for the condo again!”
Kauai Beach Villa E16 – Guest Stay July 2023
“The condo was exactly as described. I enjoyed our stay very much and I would highly recommend this vacation location. This condo was very well appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed.”
Islander on the Beach 328 – Guest Stay July 2023
“Fantastic views! No elevator to the third floor so you do have to take the stairs with all your luggage. This was fine for us but might be difficult for some. We liked the extra exercise since we were eating so much haha. Note to self: bring extra towels and better TP next time. The mattress is memory foam and was a little firm for me. Other than that, we absolutely loved our stay! The Islander on the Beach is a GORGEOUS place right on the water. I loved the bar by the pool with an ocean view. The gardens are spectacular and it’s next to Coconut Marketplace so you can just walk over and shop and enjoy some awesome food options! We had a fantastic time!”
Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay July 2023
“We love visiting the Islander. Close to downtown Kapaa and the north side of the island. Also wonderful pool bar! Can’t wait to be back again.”
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay July 2023

Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay July 2023
“We really enjoyed our time on Kauai. The room was great and the view was spectacular!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay July 2023
“Kathy quickly responded to any questions I had regarding check in/ check out. The place sits right on the bank of Wailua bay, and easy beach access allows you to walk up and down the shores with ease. Near the town of Kapaa (roughly a 3-5 minute drive) offers a variety of stores and eats that will satisfy anyone! This place is great and allows you to see multiple parts of the island with minimal travel (Lihue is about 15 minutes away, south side of the island is about 30 minutes away and Hanalei is about 30 minutes away from Kathy’s place)! Thank you Kathy!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay June – July 2023
“Kathy’s place is perfect for enjoying Kauai. It’s really close to Safeway, allows you to cook, and it’s also close to restaurants within walking distance. As it’s in the middle, it was easy to get around and explore the north side and south, with a relatively short commute. Only one stove burner was working in unit 19”
Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay June – July 2023
“Great place on the beach, fantastic view from the Lanai! Perfect if visiting both Waimea Canyon and Ha’ena State Park as it is in the middle of the island. Extremely comfortable bed, clean unit, supplies for beach, and clear communication. Only negative is bathroom supplies. You’ll receive 4 towels, 2 hand towels and 2 wash cloths, no matter how long your stay. An extra fee is applied if more linens are needed. I would suggest getting more if you plan on hiking a lot! You will be covered in dirt, but it’s fun! Kapa’a is centered on the island allowing easy access to big attractions w/I 30-40 minutes with traffic. The town of Kapa’a offered a cute downtown with shops and eateries. I recommend Java Kai for breakfast, best breakfast bowls on the island. If visiting on a Saturday, check out the local farmers markets and get some liche! Kapa’a also hosts an arts and food night every Sat. Night, check out Little Fatties food truck, best tacos I’ve had!”
Islander on the Beach 115 – Guest Stay June 2023
“Awesome stay!”
Kapaa Sands 19 – Guest Stay June 2023
“Great location and a short walk to the beach. Near restaurants and very private. In all, I would recommend.”
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay June – July 2023
“WOW! This stay has been one of our favorites. Absolutely beautiful views. We loved morning coffee off the patio with the birds, and the overall walkability (check out Russell’s). We hope to be back. Double shaka!” – Natalie K.
Islander on the Beach 363 – Guest Stay June 2023
“We had a great time at Islander on the Beach and would highly recommend our spot. It had a great view with the beach and perfect location. It was easy to get to north and south Kauai as it was right in the middle (about an hour to both). There was some noise at night as it was next to a restaurant but that did not bother us! Pool area was great with useful grills to cook. Our only complaints were the fridge was smaller then the one shown in the picture, and the slider did not lock which made me uncomfortable leaving our valuable there with a broken safe.” – Dani A.
Islander on the Beach 160 – Guest Stay June 2023

“Had a perfect stay. There were 2 beach chairs there and 2 small shoulder coolers. Island had so much to do. Very laid back and slow. We will definitely be coming back!” – Justin C.
Kapaa Sands 10 – Guest Stay June 2023
“We’ll be staying here again. What a gorgeous place. We could lie in bed and watch the surf. The sound of the waves lulled us to sleep. Being able to walk right out the back sliding glass door to the ocean’s edge was incredible. The beach below was easily accessible, clean, with a calm tidal pool to sit in. Lots of snorkelers and surfers. Plenty of shade on the beach when needed. Every night we saw a family of sea turtles playing in the surf. According to locals, they’ve been there for several years. We even saw a Manta Ray one evening. The unit had everything we needed. Kathy was easy to work with when we wanted a late checkout. No problem with parking. The pool was close by but we didn’t have any noise from it. Very quiet overall considering everyone’s windows are open to enjoy the trade winds and the sound of the waves. Centrally located with plenty of places to walk to or a short drive away. The Kaua’i bike/walk trail runs right in front of the building.” – Sheila G.
Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay June 2023
“Good deal, perfect location!!!! It’s a little out dated but who cares when everything else is perfect! Would stay again 100%.” – Samuel D.
Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay June 2023
“The unit itself is small, but well-maintained and clean. But, you’re not going to spend much time in it anyway. You’re going to be on the patio, soaking in an awe-inspiring view. Or, you’ll be in the hot tub or pool, or bellied up to the tiki bar(all steps away). Or, you may be at Lava Lava Beach Club, or Imua coffee, or Sleeping Bear cafe, or Coconut Marketplace – all within easy walking distance. If you’re not in any of those places, you’ll be walking the grounds of the Islander, taking in the lush flora and fauna. Long story short – you won’t find a better combination of amenities and location on Kauai. You could easily never leave the immediate area and still have a great vacation.” – Ken L.
Islander on the Beach 245 – Guest Stay June 2023

Islander on the Beach 131 – Guest Stay June 2023
“Condo was exactly as described. Loved starting and ending each day with the beautiful view of the ocean. Could grab a coffee and watch the sunrise at the beach each morning, and a glass of wine in the evening to watch the sunset. There was a pool/pool bar just steps away and you could walk to several restaurants and shops. Lava Lava Beach Club right on the property. Parking a bit of a challenge at times, but always found a space. Convenient midpoint location to all the attractions on the island. Kathy was easy to work with and very responsive. She even left us several treats. Such a nice touch, very thoughtful. Would stay here again.” – Eileen J.

Great place, the ocean views are actually better than the pictures, lots of great places to eat nearby, 4.2 mile coastal bike path connects to this property with a little bit of creativity, which was amazing to bike and run on almost every day, would stay here again” -Michael W.

“Was a great place to stay. You could stay and never go into town. Restaurants/ grocery/ shopping are all within walking distance. We had breakfast everyday at LAVA LAVA which is on the beach and next door! The ladies at the front desk were really helpful too. I was worried about air conditioning. The condo has one but after the 1st night we didn’t need it at night. The sound of the ocean through the screen and a ceiling fan is all you need for very good rest. We were pleased with everything.” -Kenneth B.
Islander on the Beach 239 – Guest Stay May 2023
“Kathy’s place was extremely clean and seemed freshly painted. It was obviously tidy and cared for. The bathroom is large. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of comfortable sitting spots inside, on the balcony or on the grounds. The balcony had a large table and chairs which was very comfortable for meals and just hanging out. The location on the island was perfect. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Easy to drive anywhere north or south and every large shop ten minutes away. Parking spots were abundant and close to the unit. The grounds are gorgeous. Lush with tropical plants and very well cared for. The pool area was lovely and inviting and the view of the grounds, pool and beach/ocean was perfect. Communication was instantaneous and we felt well connected and safe.” -Joanne L.
Islander on the Beach 152 – Guest Stay May 2023
“Gorgeous location. Can’t get better than ON THE BEACH. We loved the town of Kapa’a. Centrally located with lots of yummy restaurants. The grounds of the resort are beautiful. I loved walking around everyday seeing what flowers opened up. The unit was clean. A tad older but quaint and everything you need. We enjoyed making coffee and sitting on the porch each morning. Not really enough amenities to make dinner but with all the local food. you don’t need to. Bed was a bed. We ended up buying extra pillow’s because we live extra pillows. Other than that, we LOVED our stay.”

I would definitely rent this condo again in the future.” – Brian I.

“Kathy’s studio Airbnb was beyond amazing! It is exactly as seen in the pictures plus the beach front view with a phenomenal sunrise & sunset. The location is PERFECT in Kapa’a that is in the middle of the island and equal distance for exploration on both sides of the island. It has a mini kitchenette minus the stove top to warm up your own meals from the grocery store close by in the town village to save some money. It is an air conditioned unit nice and insulated. Pool is literally right next to the unit. For things close by, there is the coconut market village that has shops, a grocery store, and restaurants that is just a walk across the parking lot without having to drive. The receptionist are extremely helpful for locating close by services and giving you the Hawaiian welcome from the Aston Islander where the Airbnb is located. Plan to stay here again. Thank you for such a great rental location, Kathy! Overall, 10/10” – Ashley V.

Islander on the Beach 249 – Guest Stay February 2023
“This place turned out to be the perfect spot for us. Close to restaurants, take out, shopping and the 10 mile multi-use trail. We found out on day 2 that it is often better to walk when you can versus drive due to the traffic that was often bumper to bumper and not moving. The location of the condo is ideal and the view is priceless. We often brought our food back and ate outside listening to the pounding surf. The set up of the space also worked well for us. Enjoyed the pool and happy hour at the pool bar. The people we corresponded with related to this unit were always prompt and helpful. They were nice enough to extend our checkout when my husband was delayed on his hike due to the heavy rain. We wished we would have stayed here for our whole stay. Thank you Kathy and all!” – Sarah S.

“Great place to stay. Super easy. even though it is a 1-bedroom place as advertised, still pretty small due to the double beds in the area. Loved how close to the ocean like a 1-minute walk and the location is perfect with the shops restaurants markets all walking distance. Plus, very safe place to stay.” – Tim M.
Islander on the Beach 363- Guest Stay February 2023
“Loved this location. Great view. Room had everything we needed. Parking got slim, especially on weekend evenings. Had a lovely three weeks, didn’t want to leave. Grateful for the tall fridge, not a mini one. Got creative with toaster over cooking (glad not to just have the microwave, which I don’t use). Wifi was good, had to work some, no problems with zoom meetings. Glad to have a third-floor walk-up for some more movement. Had zero contact with property management, didn’t have any need. Keys all where they said they’d be, instructions clear. Snorkeled with turtles and various fish, right outside, imagining they were here after the quiet covid times. Hoping they stay. Please use reef-safe products, if you use any, and bring reusable bottles for water so you don’t create more ocean waste. Tip the Hula school people well in Coconut Marketplace, and please respect the locals and their nature. Nearby great Rolfer in Kapaa, Jill Richardson. Enjoy your trip!” -Brigit V.

“Such a perfect place for my friend and me to stay while enjoying gorgeous Kauai for a long weekend. I was worried we’d be too close to the busy roads of Kapa’a but the location was perfect – there’s a lovely beach a few steps from the condo, an excellent coffee shop a few steps in the opposite direction (that’s coming from a coffee snob living in Seattle and NYC), and the condo had everything we needed to be cozy in the evenings and during the morning rain storm we had on our last day. Our a/c remote control wasn’t working when we first arrived and Kathy and her team plus the excellent caretaker were on top of it and fixed it quickly and easily. The condo is simple but was spotless and lacking nothing. I would absolutely stay here again!”
-Susanna M.
Kapaa Sands 10- Guest Stay January 2023
“Wonderful to be able to listen to and look at the ocean. The view from the patio was exactly as photographed. We loved making breakfast in the kitchen and sitting outside. Great location for day trips and dining. The place was perfect for two people who wanted to gaze at the ocean, watch the sunrise with coffee and go out every day. Felt more low-key than some of the enormous condo developments on the south part of the island. The host never took more than an hour to respond to inquiries. Loved our stay. Would stay here again.”

“Condo was just enough room and in a great location for my stay. I had a little trouble finding it as Maps took me to the property next door, but I soon discovered that was a Maps issue getting around the island. I could have thrown a baseball into the ocean from the Lanai. I was very pleased with the stay overall. Plenty of restaurants and shopping near by. Kitchen had everything I needed. I will stay here again.” – James W.

“We didn’t come for the room; we came for the weather! The room was perfectly adequate, steps from the surf and the hot tub, just under a mile to Safeway where we ran/walked daily to pick up our rice, sushi, seafood, etc. from the deli. We haven’t used a car on Kauai in years. The city bus gets us to/from the airport to Islander on the Beach in less than 45 minutes. The seaside walking & biking trail is fantastic.” – Nishi G.

“This place was a great find in Kapa’a. It is so close to the beach, my husband and I made the 30 second trek to watch the sunrise every morning we were there. The location was incredible – Right next to Coconut Marketplace for all of our essential needs at the ABC Store, plus touristy shops as well. It was also right next to Lava Lava Beach Club where we ate twice. The inside of the unit was a bit dated, but for the price I think it’s worth the convenient location! And the view from the balcony was beautiful. Would definitely stay there again.” – Ashley G.

The place is in a beautiful location, perfect for sunrises. Lots of shopping and restaurant options within a 5 minute walk. The beach is maybe a 2-3 minute walk from the place and you can enjoy the beautiful sunrises from the patio. There was an umbrella, 2 chairs, snorkeling gear and beach towels for use as well. I would definitely stay here again! Place was clean and had everything you could need/ want for an island vacation.” – Courtney R.

“What an amazing place to stay for my first visit to Hawaii and the island of Kauai. The studio was right on the beach with amazing sunrise views. There is access to a swim area that acts like a tide pool. Cool way to wade in the water without dealing with the waves. Super close to access for the Wailua River, and the sleeping giant hike(both are must do’s during your stay). Also, it was very close to the coconut marketplace. This area had several restaurants and a grocery store to get pretty much all you would ever need. There is a cheaper Safeway another mile up the road where you have a wider variety of produce and cheaper food options. Overall a 5/5 stars!!! Thanks Kathy!!” – Alex B.

Overall great experience, would stay here again!!” – Rachel P.

“Location, location, location! A perfect spot to enjoy the island. The condo was right on the beach walk and we were able to watch exquisite sunrises each morning at dawn. This is an ideal place to stay to head out from and enjoy all parts of the island easily. An enormous advantage of staying at here was having the Coconut Marketplace right across the street with eateries, gift stores, apparel shopping, a market, and events. The condo itself was a nice unit and well equipped for a studio. Rental communication was timely and professional. Yes, I plan on staying here again and again! Loved it!” – Deborah T.

“The studio condo provides a beautiful ocean view and easy access to the beach, bike trail, Coconut Marketplace, and even a Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There is a small market with deli and a Longs Drug within easy walking distance, and a Safeway plus two natural food stores in Kapa’a. These stores came in handy since there was no coffee or condiments, not even salt and pepper at the condo. The condo complex has wonderful mature landscaping with many of the fruit bearing and edible plants found on Kauai. This unit is on the third floor which was reassuring for those of us with tsunami consciousness but there is no elevator. All in all, this unit was wonderful to relax in and to be our home base for all our island adventures. We’ve been to Kauai many times and this was one of our favorite vacation rentals.” -Patricia S.

“The studio sized condo is located in Kapa’a right by the beach. There is no beach view directly from the balcony but the beach is only a 2 minute walk away. Check in directions were emailed prior to arrival and there are clear instructions for how to operate the AC, cable and internet. There are a lot of dishes, silverware, and cooking utensils available but no stove or hot plate due to board regulations. Only a mini fridge and microwave are available. No laundry machine in condo and I am not sure if there’s one available for use on the property. Parking is included. Perfect place to stay if you’re going to be spending your days exploring Kauai.” -Ashley C.

Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to all.

Islander on the Beach 151- Guest Stay December 2022
“I absolutely loved the location. There was mention of there being a cooktop, but there wasn’t one in this unit. I got creative with “cooking” a little bit in the microwave for my morning eggs. It was a very beautiful property, and there is a great little restaurant just next door that you can walk to on the path directly outside of the unit. I loved seeing and hearing all the chickens, roosters, and baby chicks. I saw a monk seal resting in the sun on the beach nearby. And was able to drive to some nearby hikes that were just perfect! This was a great spot for my solo work retreat to finish some looming projects and to feel rested and refreshed. Thank you!” – Megan M.

“Loved Kathy’s little studio. Our favorite was the short walk to the small beach. We only had a spot to go to at the end of the day, sitting on the logs, watching the sunset. We’ll be back!” – Ashley B.

“Had a great stay at Kathy’s place with an amazing view of the ocean from the balcony. The room is as described it is not brand new but it is clean, has everything you need. The pool and jacuzzi at the hotel was a nice place to relax and wasn’t too busy. Just next door is a beach restaurant with music and of course you have the entire shopping center behind you. A perfect way to start the vacation.” – Ashley B.

Islander on the Beach 328- Guest Stay November 2022
“We fully enjoyed our stay. Been looking forward to this vacation after over 2 years of Covid not being able to. It met was than our expectations. Just listening to the wave of the ocean overnight every single night was a treat! We didn’t need to turn the air conditioning on. It was averaging 80’s throughout our stay. Kapaa was ideal area, can drive to North Shores and South Shores conveniently. We were very pleased with the surrounding, it felt like being in a Botanical Garden! In short, we highly recommend this slice of paradise! Mahalo, D and R” – Richard B.

“This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a small place that is actually more like a converted hotel room. There were only two of us so the space was OK. The location is great – free parking and walking distance to stores, the ocean, etc. We had no issues other than the number of outlets available in the room.” – Raymond K.

“Kathy’s place is amazing. The location is superb and the view is beautiful. The check-in process was smooth and the entire stay was perfect. Kathy supplies detailed instructions for all the amenities. The patio is the best place to sit and drink coffee in the morning or enjoy and evening dinner listening to the ocean crash in the background. I cannot say enough good things about Kathy’s place. I will definitely try and book again the next time we come to Kauai! A++ to an amazing host. She definitely knows how to take care of her guests!” -Tanya H.

We liked the accommodation. The apartment is directly on the sea and offers everything as in the description.” -Jo M.
Islander on the Beach 153- Guest Stay October 2022
“The photos on Airbnb don’t do the view and location justification. The accommodations are a 4.5 out of 5. The host Kathy was very responsive, The first day after arrival we noticed that there were no beach towels. I sent Kathy a quick message and when we returned from a short outing the beach towels were hanging on the door. The resort is very low-key and relaxing everything you need is within a short walk, shops, stores restaurants and a small market where you can buy anything you need or may have forgotten. The location on the island is centrally located so if you’re into sightseeing and want to see Waimea canyon or the Nepali coast you have a short drive either way. The beach in front of the room has a great view and is accessible for swimming but no lifeguard is on duty. If you are a strong swimmer and into snorkeling some of the best snorkeling we found on the island exists just offshore right in front of the room. All in all we were extremely satisfied and will be back again. Thank you Kathy for being a great host..” – Mike D.
Islander on the Beach 356- Guest Stay October 2022
“Really enjoyed our stay here. Condo was in a great location. You could see the beach from the Lanai. I thought the market place next to the condo was gonna be a tourist trap but it was not. Only drawback is no laundry for this rental and you cannot use the facilities on property. There is a laundry facility only 5 a few miles down the road so no worries. Great place.” – Al K.
Islander on the Beach 239- Guest Stay October 2022

“Could not have picked a better place to stay! Kathy and her team were incredible at accommodating our stay even though it was super last minute. Our patio looked out onto the ocean, and the roosters were so cool to see every day. Room was very clean, and the set of starter supplies (toilet tissue, towels, etc) were generous. Only thing I would have changed was to be able to find Kathy sooner!”

“Kathy’s apartment is the best find ever! Its a cozy room stocked with pretty much everything you need. I spent most of my time on the balcony honestly because the view is just gorgeous! The coconut marketplace behind the resort has food options and even live performances! The airport is about a 15 minute ride away and the area is just gorgeous, very safe :) If you find Kathy has open dates definitely book it! You will not be disappointed.”

Islander on the Beach 321- Guest Stay September 2022
” Fabulous location, ocean within view of the porch & landing. We would stroll down to the beach, adjust the lawn chairs, and soak in the view and the breeze. Some afternoons, we simply put a chair on the landing, because we were too lazy to deal with sand on the beach – the view was marvelous. There’s a market and square with several restaurants & shaved ice on the other side of the parking lot. 15min to Lihue airport, 5-10min to Kapa’a (depending on traffic). Room is clean, the AC works great, bed is decent. There’s a pool (with a bar in the evenings) for those who like, and there’s maintenance & folks on hand in the main entry, all of whom are welcoming and friendly. Can’t stress enough the location – the ocean & beach are right there and gorgeous, the convenience of the market & restaurants, and the ease of getting to & from Lihue & Kapa’a. Everything was as promised, and we would definitely stay here again.”

“This place is spacious, cozy and so comfortable. It has all amenities that you need for a great time in Kauai. This place has pool, but who needs a pool when you have the beach literally in front of you?! Beach is 10 steps away from this space. Fresh towels and comfortable bed. Nice couch, kitchenette and table. Restaurants and cool places to explore are walking distance or not too far drive. I would definitely be back for more rounds of paradise. Highly recommend this stay!!!”

“Finally made the decision to island hop and came across this property. Amazing location (you can walk right up to the beach), parking was never an issue, and the property manager was quick to respond when we had questions. The pool and hot tub are also nice amenities to wind down in the evenings with. Basic toiletries are provided to get you started, but you will have to provide your own once you run out. Very relaxing and would stay here again!”

The condo had everything we needed, even a blender to make delicious fruit smoothies and cocktails. It is conveniently located in the middle between North and South, and we got to explore a lot from Poipu to Haena. Will defnitely come back!” – Vitaly O.

There was beach gear to use ( chairs, towels, boogie boards). Small fridge, microwave, toaster oven and coffee pot. You need to bring your own coffee. A/C worked well on the warmer days. There is a coffee shop nearby. Best bakery down the street( Passion).”
