"Kathy's place was a great spot to stay for our first time in Kauai. It was clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed coffee in the AM steps away from the beach and the sound of the surf at night! We even had a mink seal visit one day. It was great having shops and restaurants in walking distance as well. Kappa is a great place to access both sides of Kauai too! Highly reccomend !"

*****

"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 :)" 
-Ryan W. - (Apr 2026 - Airbnb)


*****

"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!" 
-Christian B. - (Apr 2026 - AirBnB)


*****

"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." 
-Antonio F. - (Apr 2026 - AirBnB)


*****

"Great location! Great view! We loved being able to walk straight out to the ocean, or the pool with the first floor location. We enjoyed being able to meet people out for their walks." 
-Megan L. - (Mar 2026 - Airbnb)


*****

"Loved the unit and especially the location. Thank you, Kathy!" 
-Cindy B. - (Mar 2026 - Airbnb)


*****

"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." 
-Jacquelyn O. - (Feb 2026 - Airbnb)


*****

"Great place conveniently located on the Island to be able to tour it all! Place was clean and the beach front is hard to beat! Check in and out was extremely easy and communication was great. Couldn't recommend more!" 
-Samuel H. - (Jan 2026 - Airbnb)


*****

"We had a wonderful stay.. Great location. right on the beach! Comfortable unit and it was a good location .. Easy drive to wherever we were visiting for the day. We would love to come back again!" 
-Kathie W. - (Oct 2025 - Airbnb)


*****

"Great place to stay, right on the water. The restraunt next door is fun for drinks Lava Lava & a walk to down town is about 45 mins along the coast." 
-WIlliam T. - (Oct 2025 - AirBnB)


*****

"Best value beach front rental we could find! There is a very nice beach just a few steps away and I think location-wise for a stay in Kauai this is about as good as it gets. 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!" 
-James G. - (Oct 2025 - AirBnB)


*****

"We loved staying at this cute little condo! Perfect for just the two of us - we especially enjoyed the lanai and ocean view. The bed was comfy, space was clean, and it was easy to communicate back and forth with the host as needed. We would definitely come back again and can't wait for our next visit!" 
-Correna R. - (Oct 2025 - AirBnB)
