Perfect location for a 3-4 day stay on Kauai. Really close to the airport with good access to other parts of the island. We couldn’t be happier with the comfort of the unit as well as the amenities of the resort. Fantastic property that has all the food and shops within really easy walking distances. Would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed for 3 nights with our infant daughter. The room was clean, had AC in the family and bedroom, and was supplied with beach gear. We enjoyed the walk ability to the shore and shops. Check to make sure the pool and hot tub are open, if that’s important to you!

Great place, great communicatuon, flexible property manager. We had a wonderful time - - our only complaint was that we didn't book enough days, a week was too short! A week is just enough time to begin to appreciate what the community and the island have to offer.

First time to Kauai

Overall we had great trip! The location was great for all the exploring we did around the island. The resort is on a very busy and noisy street, but other than that it was very nice and the condo was well stocked.
