We could not recommend staying here at Islander on the Beach any more. Our room was very clean upon arrival. The balcony has a beautiful view of the ocean and the unit was stocked with anything we possibly could need. The kitchen has a fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and other various things like knives and cutting boards to be able to make small meals. They also provide 2 beach chairs and 4 beach towels which was perfect to use at beaches throughout the island. The property also has plenty of chairs at the beach and pool. The pool on property is never too crowded and we loved going to the pool's tiki bar tiki bar for happy hour (3-6pm). You're walking distance from Lava Lava Beach Club for dinner and we often walked through the parking lot to the Coconut Marketplace for food (there's a few great options if you're not wanting to cook or drive somewhere) or the ABC Store. We plan to stay here again on our next trip to Kauai!

Lovely view, could leave lanai door open all night to listen to the waves. Next door (Lava Lava) is painting their roof. Beep beep all day from the equipment. It was annoying as well as construction at Islander On the Beach…..but all in all, a lovely unit. In unit safe still doesn’t work. Thank you host for the full size Coffee Maker!

Beautifully presented, thoughtfully furnished and equipped with a wonderful ocean view and nothing but the sound of waves! (Or cool and efficient silent split system AC if you choose). Immaculately clean - it was a delight to arrive. Cindy and her team had thought if everything I needed. I did not want to leave. I'll be back! Mahalo, Simon

A Perfect Kauai Home Base

Wonderful, comfortable, close access to beach and pool, able to see whales on the horizon one morning, access to staff easily, yummy Lava Lava Beach Club food and music, perfect jumping off point for all things Kauai, and wonderful to return "home" to this sweet abode.And if you have to close the sliding glass door to the lanai because of rooster crowing, the fan/ac unit is super quiet and helpful! Would definitely come back to stay here again.

Accurately reported. Wonderful location that is close to the west and north side of the island. A midweek change of linens/towels would have been nice but the laundromat wasn’t too far away. Would stay here again.

60th birthday. Was amazing.

I thought the property was very beautiful as I remember it back in 2003 my last trip here. The kitchen facilities were stocked and wonderful. Wi-Fi was accessible and I have to say that my check in with Cindy was beyond amazing. I arrived here and my phone was dead. I couldn’t find my recharger and I couldn’t the passcode to get in the door and I told cindy how horrible I was feeling and she helped me get in and she was amazing through my whole day.

The property is exactly as advertised, with exceptional ocean views from the patio. I also would point out that the pull-out bed is surprisingly comfortable. I was on it for a week with no complaints. It was a bit of a downer that we could not use the on-site laundry, but everything else about the place was fantastic. Also, you cannot beat the location. There are at least 10 great restaurants and a grocery store a short walk from the condo.
