Perfect location-middle of east side so not too far to all activities. Beautiful gardens around condos. Right on the beach. Parking could be better-hard to find a spot after 8 pm. Had to park in marketplace next door one night due to lack of parking spots.
Well-appointed condo with amazing beach views!! Great location next to Coconut Market, and convenient for getting other places on the island. We did find it a bit musty, but didnât spend much time inside with the doors closed up. Host was communicative when we had questions during our stay. We appreciated the small cooler and beach towels that were included in the rental.
We had an amazing stay at this condo. It was very clean, well stocked and the location was perfect! We left the patio door open the entire stay allowing the sea breeze to cool the apartment while enjoying th sound of the waves. It is about half way between the North Shore and Waimea canyon, making it easy to explore the whole island with one home base. It is also located directly on the rec path, I suggest renting a bike to get a full experience of the local beaches. I would recommend this place to everyone! We can't wait to book our next stay!
Since Iâve returned many times to this location itâs a sure sign I absolutely love it. Room 224 gives me joy.
And Iâll return again because itâs a special treat to be in an elegant, clean room right on the ocean with excellent management and fair rates.
Mahalo!
Perfect location; we could watch whales while sipping coffee on our lanai, then walk to restaurants and shops nearby. Theyâve done an excellent job in anticipating what would be needed in the kitchenette, as well as beach chairs, a cooler, etc. The manager reached out to make sure all was well. Wonderful experience!
The location and view are phenomenal! The condo itself was adequate. Furnishings were outdated only two beach towels no umbrella and the condo had a musty smell.
Stayed at Debra's rental at Aston Islander. Location was central to so many things. Within 30 min drive to either Hanalei or Poipu. Amazing view of the lanai looking right out to the water, getting amazing sunrise views.
This is a wonderful place, right on the beach, with a perfect view of the sunrise, and within walking distance to several restaurants and shops. This was our first vrbo experience, so we were shocked that check in and out was amazingly simple -- we were waiting for more instructions!
Great room, wonderful view right on the beach and the a/c worked well. Nice food and retail shops real close by. But the bathroom does have a water musty stale smell
On a positive note, the unit does have a great view; probably one of the best in the complex. The Islander on the beach has a vintage charm, and nice grounds. My hubs had fun at the little tiki bar, and we liked that the lava lava was next door. I also liked that there were lounge chairs set up on the beach, it makes it easy to go sit by the water.
Unfortunately, the room had such an uncomfortable, lumpy mattress, that I ended up sleeping on the twin size pull out cot for most of the week. Kind of ironic considering I rented the place for the king size bed. Also, we only had one beach towel, and two bath towels each to last for 9 days. As a vrbo guest, you donât get towel service, and are not allowed to use the laundry room. Iâll never stay at a rental on the beach again that doesnât have access to laundry. While the view was great, I would have traded it on day two for a dry towel and a comfortable bed. It would be an ok place to stay for three days tops, imo.
This was also a strange situation for us, because the condo changed owners between the time we paid, and the day of our arrival. There was definitely a lack of transparency, because the first owner didnât disclose that she was selling the unit until we had paid the non refundable payments. This did cause some confusion and minor inconveniences before we left for this vacation, and the listing doesnât have accurate pictures currently.
Everything was as described in the listing, decent place and met expectations.
Overall we had an enjoyable stay. Our unit was nice enough, the pool, location, and grounds were great.
My only complaints are that the sheets and bedding were paper thin and wouldn't stay on the bed. The toilet wouldn't stop running, we had to lift the lever after each use... not a big deal.
Also, as folks in other units would check out, they would leave trash bags out in front of the units and the cleaning staff wouldn't pick them up? So there were bags of trash just lying around outside our door the whole week even after I told management about it. Ah well... we were at the beach most the time anyway.
This place was great for the price. Oceanview, close to pool, close to shops, restaurants, and coffee. Pool was nice. Room was clean but a little worn down with water damage in spots, which is pretty common with the humidity in Kauai. Check in was easy and hosts were reliable. No extra amenities from the resort were available (such as towel service, room cleaning, extra room supplies, etc.) because this is a privately owned condo.
Overall we enjoyed our stay!
