This location was lovely, steps away from a nice beach. The unit is nicely located and pretty close to beach and water. Very good ocean view from the lanai. It had all the gear needed for swimming and beach. Kitchen is minimal but I didn’t really want to cook too much and sadly was too lazy to use the grills even, but they looked nice. There’s a great beach front restaurant (Lava Lava) right next to the condo so we dined there several times. It’s really delicious though not super cheap but not crazy expensive either. The bed was very comfortable which is one of my top items of importance. Clean, well equipped, and comfortable. Overall I would definitely stay there again.

Great location and amazing view! We had the best time & loved the coconut marketplace right across the parking lot. Super convenient location to get to many of the beautiful beaches and attractions Kauai has to offer! Place has beach chairs, snorkel gear, and even a cute beach bag! We were welcomed with some Kauai coffee and yummy chocolate covered macadamia nuts. Thank you for a great stay!
