My wife and I really like staying at the Islander and prefer ocean front. This is the first time in this exact unit. Besides a few minor cleanliness issues, this unit is great. The issues we had with the units cleanliness were minor and could easily be corrected. The bathroom, specifically the shower was not thoroughly cleaned upon arrival. The cleaner used on the floor when we arrived had left a slippery residue on the floor that caused us to walk very carefully for the first few days.Outside of these, the unit was stocked with dishes, cups and silverware as needed. There were extra beach towels and enough bathroom linens for the week. We thought the decor was nice and added to the ocean view. We both love this property. The pool is nice and the small bar feels welcoming and intimate. The view from the lanai is amazing. Just know that it is 3 flights of stairs to the unit and there is no available onsite laundry. Neither bothered us, but good to know.Also, the beach chairs need to be replaced.Non of these issues will keep us from returning, just need some attention. We appreciate the owner of this unit making it available for people to use and to enjoy this location and beautiful island.

Was not advised at any time by the host that the building was being panted with possible stair closures or balcony being obstructed. Not a huge deal but a heads up would have been appreciated. Neighboring doors are very loud when they close. Also requested early check-in but was not allowed in even though the room was ready as we were exploring the property and could see it done.The view was great though and it was awesome to walk over to the Coconut Marketplace for food, shopping and essentials.

We are glad you enjoyed your visit. We apologize for the painting schedule that was not consistent but the good news is it is done. As far as early arrival, you may think the condo is ready when walking by but it may not have been inspected for your arrival so we apologize as we can't always accommodate a early arrival. Its always good to plan accordingly. We hope you come again. Mahalo, Cindy & Premier Kauai Ohana

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!
