Parking was super easy you have a parking pass inside of your room. There’s a single air conditioner in the unit and it works beautifully. Didn’t need it during the day but like it a little extra cool at night the room was absolutely beautiful, falling asleep and waking up to those waves was incredible. The little table and chairs outside was the perfect little touch for coffee in the mornings watching the sunrise.

Very clean room, excellent location, all as expected. My only disappointment was that the kitchen was not well suited for in room meal prep. No stove or oven, just a small microwave and toaster oven. Also no dishwasher--minor inconveniences. Otherwise this is the perfect getaway spot right on the beach with a full view of the ocean!

Good and clean. Ocean views are impressive. Hot tub is enjoyable. Nice pool area. Good equipment: wifi, coffee maker, phone chargers, A/C. The bed is cozy.Some minor downsides:Construction workers and roosters are a bit noisy.The cooler bag on the balcony was rusted and the zippers did not work so not exactly usable.WiFi credentials in the reservation email were different to the actual WiFi network in the apartment. However the correct credentials could be found on the table.All in all a very nice place, we would totally recommend!

Such a nice spot to explore Kaui from. Communication with host was easy and supportive. The space was clean, comfortable and Private. It was lovely being right in the water and getting up with the birds! After long days exploring it was nice to have some food options nearby.

Great place to start our trip!

This location was perfect for a late flight arrival, only about 15 min from the airport. The unit itself was cozy but just what we needed to relax for a few days and just chill. The sound of the ocean at night was sooo nice and in the morning, just grab your coffee (bring extra Keurig cups if you need them or buy at Coconut Marketplace next door. Tons of places to eat and drink within a few steps. Until was a bit hard to find in the dark but just park to the right of the office somewhere and take the path past the coffee place straight back to the ocean and you’ll find it. Great place, would definitely stay here again!Mahalo

Ocean View & Sound of the Waves Against the Shoreline are Spectacular!

The view of the ocean from the veranda and the sound of the waves against the shoreline were one of many magnificent highlights of our stay in Kauai at the Islander on the Beach. The east shore locale, was a perfect midway point to visiting both the north and south shore. Also, just steps to the Coconut Marketplace, it was convenient for shopping and food. Island Market was our favorite for food, drinks and gifts. We celebrated our 25th Anniversary, Aloha Style.

Beautiful view

We love the convenient location of Islander on the Beach, and the view from 252 was exquisite. We looked straight out at the ocean from the comfy chairs on the lanai, and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The room was well equipped with beach chairs and appliances, and the property manager was very helpful. It was a perfect getaway.

We loved that the unit was oceanfront and we could watch the sunrise every morning. Wish there was a small dishwasher though so we didn’t have to do everything by hand. But the room was well kept and nicely decorated and very comfortable. Thanks for the chocolates!

A good place to stay in Kauai

Overall we were really happy with everything. The unit was clean, king size bed was comfy, a/c worked well and was quiet. Kitchen had what we needed and appreciated a water filter jug. Found the management company quickly responsive and the microwave and safe needed attention / replacing and they were on it quickly, new microwave installed the next day. There were sufficient clean towels for both the bathroom and beach. A larger fridge was welcome as we loved getting ready made foods or take outs so could enjoy the balcony with a great view overlooking the ocean for a number of breakfasts and dinners. It was easy to get good food from the ABC store and the BBQ chicken place at the Coconut Market Place and the Sleeping Giant grill on the property was excellent. The location was perfect for us, close enough but also far away enough to the airport and all day trips. I am very pleased we chose this place for our 7 day stay. One of us found the tub slippery (did slip twice but manage to avert any bad injury) and suggest using bath mats which the management indicated would provide for future guests.
