"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!"

"Kathy's condo was fantastic for my husband and I. Great location. I liked how central it was on the island. There were a ton of great food options. We even walked to a farmers market happening in the shopping center parking lot near by. The pool bar was delightful and other guests were very friendly. Kauai is a magical place (I highly recommend doing some hiking) and we enjoyed coming back here each night after a day full of adventures. 5 stars "

"Great place to stay! Beautiful location right on the beach. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub nearby as well as the poolside bar. Breakfast and coffee right on the beachfront balcony was the winner. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of ocean waves and salty air was our favorite. The breathtaking sunrise was our alarm clock!"

"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."

"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 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!!"
