"I really enjoyed the location and absolutely loved the boardwalk nearby. The resort was cute, and everyone I interacted with was welcoming and helpful. The place itself was very clean, although it was quite a bit smaller than I expected. The view was gorgeous, and one of my favorite parts was being able to hear the waves. Overall, it was a really nice and peaceful stay!"

"We adore this complex and Kathy's unit is the best we've checked out by far. AC worked great, bed was very comfy. Wish we'd been able to stay longer but Kathy offered late checkout and that really helped us. We had a harrowing experience on our last day on a hike and she was really understanding. Love being right across from the ocean, it's good for the soul. Mahalo and see you soon!"

"No other words than absolutely amazing ! The room was clean and exactly as described in the listing. The location was great, centralized to everything on the island and so much to do with in walking distance. I could not have asked for a better host, place to stay, or location.

"This the third year that I have stayed in this area, near Kapaa. Still love it. Kathy's place was exactly as described. The balcony opened up to a view of the ocean, steps from the water. Central to most everything - airport, Hanalei, Poipu. Bed was plush and comfortable. Entry was simple. Parking was always available. Management team provided thorough guidance and communication. Great experience."

"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 "
