"A great stay for my partner and me. The unit is surrounded by beautiful garden views and offers direct beach access. We were sad to check out so early at 10 AM, but it's at least you can request a late check-out for an additional fee. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay in Kapaa, Kauai!"

*****

"The stay at Kathys place was great and so easy to communicate with her! A great place if you're looking for a place to stay between the North and South ends of the island." 
-Julia B. - (Aug 2026 - AirBnB)


*****

"Host was extremely responsive and gave clear instructions on for check in. I accidentally left 3 clothing items in the closet, and Kathy quickly facilitated communication with housekeeping, so I was able to retrieve my items without delays in my itinerary. Location is central and convenient for food, and you're able to take a walk along the ocean and watch the sunrise."

"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!"

*****

"Wonderful stay, and if we come back to the island, we will be staying here and with one of Kathy's listings. Her team was extremely responsive before and during the stay. If you were staying for longer than 4 days I would recommend the extra charge for mid week housing keeping cleaning, to refresh sheets and towels. Great value, host, and location." 
-Rachel J. - (Dec 2025 - Airbnb)


*****

"Great spot, nice place, beautiful all around. Plenty of restaurants nearby, near the market. But if you want decent prices go to Safeway nearby and save. I would love to visit again and again! Thank you!!"

"We had an amazing time! The grounds are impeccably maintained, nicer than other big resorts we have stayed at. Beach is steps away, shopping and restaurants close by. We especially loved the fish tacos from Sleeping Giant. Kathy's communication was great and the place was as described. Highly recommend!!" 
-Terry B. - (Nov 2025 - Airbnb)
