Comfortable, Clean and Convenient

'Oceanfront' is a slightly misleading term as used here. There is no, repeat no, direct access to the ocean/beach from the condo. The pictured beach can be accessed only by walking for roughly two hundred feet along the shoulder of a major highway. Yes, you can see the ocean from the balcony of this unit. However, you can also see a dilapidated former restaurant (formerly the 'Seashell', I believe, which is overgrown with weeds, etc.) and the aforementioned major highway. You will hear traffic noise at all times of the day and in all rooms of the unit. The location relative to the island's attractions is good (the East Side of Kauai is centrally located with regard to highways). However, this is not a good choice for those wishing to lounge about their lodgings and enjoy a quiet stroll to the beach. You will need to drive to all beaches and major attractions. On a more positive note, this unit represents an excellent value compared to other Kauai properties. All of the furnishings are comfortable, the full kitchen comes in handy, and Safeway and several good restaurants are less than 2 miles away. You can drive to any point on Kauai within roughly 90 minutes, and the full-size laundry machine, free WiFi, cable TV, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and LCD TVs are nice touches. Bottom line: a nice condo in a sub-par location; a good choice for budget travel and families, but honeymooners and those seeking tranquility probably should look elsewhere.

We spent a spectacular week in Kauai! Kauai is a beautiful island and it was great to know that at night we'd be coming to this apartment. This place has a gorgeous view and you'll find everything you need inside the house. We had breakfast in the balcony staring at the ocean... Highly recommended. If we were to go to Kauai again, which I hope we do, we would definitely book this place again.

Kevin,
I can't believe how nice your condo is. Thank you very much for sharing your vacation home with us. From day 1, we enjoyed it very much. The view is great. The condo has ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING you need for your vacation, from a cork screw to washer and dryer. The decoration was very Hawaiian and made us feel like we were in paradise. The modern flat screen TVs made our nights enjoyable while we listened to the ocean make its wave noise. This is a magical place. We will defintely be back. It couldn't be any cleaner. I can totally see the proud of ownership of this condo. The location is perfect because it is the same distance to go north or south. So it is perfect to explore the island. We could see most of it in 3 days! Thanks again. Don't hesitate on renting this unit.

Just perfect. With a view of the ocean and a few steps down to the beach...a short walk to where the river meets the ocean, this condo is the best.

It is perfect for visiting the entire island. Not far from points north or from the far west either. We enjoyed ourselves completely.

Having the washer and dryer made life easy and cooking local fish and eating on the lanai were a real joy.

Thanks Kevin! We will be back!

Kevin,

We left comments in the guest book in the condo, but wanted to thank you again for keeping such a wonderful condo. This being our second time, it seemed even more like home. Our kids were older and enjoyed the boogie boards more this time. The condo once again had everything we could need, beautifully decorated, quiet and clean. We practically had the pool to ourselves! We plan on making this a regular vacation destination (every 3 years is about our speed). We hope you keep offering this condo for years to come. Thanks again!

We stayed in the condo in early November and
really enjoyed our time in Kauai and the condo.
Having rented other condos online, I must say I was
impressed with the organization of our rental. The
timely emails and great information package prior
to leaving definitely relieved any pre-trip stress.
The condo had everything a visitor could want for a
stay on the island (appreciated the blender, beach
mats, umbrella and Kauai guidebook). The location
was excellent for getting around the island. If we
are lucky enough to make it back, I would definitely
come back. Thanks!

We stayed in condo #201 at Wailua Bayview July of 2007. Wonderful. all the amenities and goodies you can possibly need. Nicely remodeled with cool island colors, the bed is soooo comfy, and the beach is just a few stair steps below you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, quality everything. We plan to be return guests. We highly recommend this condo rental to anyone wishing to be centrally located and enjoy the best of Kauai within a quick drive. thanks for everything!

Kauai is a truly beautiful island and we really enjoyed staying in Unit 201.

We had a comfortable stay and it was the best-equipped and most well-stocked rental condo we have stayed in to date.

Beach chairs, mats, snorkels, beach toys, boogie boards, rafts and coolers were all available. And, the abundance of linens, towels, beach towels, kitchen equipment, etc. was great.

Just follow the Ultimate Kauai Guide (also available in the unit)and you won't miss a thing.

Favorite beaches: Ke'e, Hanalei, Annini (past the campsite), Maha'ulepu (sooo worth the effort), and our daughter LOVED Lydgate Park which is just 5 minutes away. Also, we swam with two young sea turtles at Poipu Beach.

Waimea Canyon and the Napali Coast are awesome. There are just too many great things to list them all. When we return (and we will), this condo is where we will stay.
