Book this place if you like sleeping to the lull of ocean waves, walking to shops & restaurants. The condo is very clean, comfortable bed, enough space for a couple. The view is gorgeous & seeing monk seals resting right outside the balcony was awesome.

The view from the lanai is spectacular! Our trip was delayed a day because our flight out of DFW was delayed so long we missed the connecting leg to Kauai. The property manager graciously worked with us and pushed our whole stay back a day. We are grateful and impressed by that. Thank you, Cindy. Comfy bed, good location, great view! We had a wonderful stay!

Perfect Island retreat

We loved our stay- the suite was just as advertised, clean, comfortable and the location was perfect for quiet days at the beach and easy to access food and shopping. The lanai was our favourite part-nothing beats starting your day with coffee overlooking the waves! We would definitely come back.

Perfect location and views

This was the perfect place to use as “home base” during our week exploring Kauai. The location had good nearby shopping and dining options and we spent hours on the lanai watching the sunrise and the ocean waves. The condo was comfortable, had everything we needed and was decorated nicely.
