"Perfect base to explore Kauai. The condo is beautifully decorated and very generously equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable beach stay, including beach equipment.

The central location in Wailau makes it easy to travel to the south and north of Kauai. Plenty of local shopping and dining options, from food trucks to fine dining. Hosts are very responsive to questions and provided extensive information about Kauai in advance to help plan our stay. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return someday."

10/10 Excellent

"Location, view and price were very good for this property. It was just 10-12 minutes to the airport.During the aftermath of Hurricane Lowell, the owner graciously allowed us to remain in the unit past our normal check out time when the airline unexpectedly cancelled/rebooked our flight. In addition, he did not charge us anything for the extra time we were in the unit."

Just finished complete renovation in March, 2025

8/10 Good

"Nice sized condo for 2 people. Very nice renovation. The view was great. The bed was comfortable. Good sized closet in bedroom. Condo was close by to restaurants, grocery store, brewery and shopping. The host sent efficient instructions on how to get there and the check in process. We only have one complaint, there was only 1 washcloth to use for 2 people for 4 days. Otherwise we absolutely loved it and would stay there again."
