Jared was amazing. So responsive and very instructive. The place was also amazing, really easy check-in process, the resort is nice and feels safe, the room itself is very spacious and includes all the essentials for your stay. We particularly were grateful for the beach wagon, boogie boards, beach chairs, and snorkel gear that were available to use for free. So much cheaper and easier than renting gear for the week. The central location provided us the ability to enjoy both the north and south shores of the island from a nice “home base”. Kapa’a itself was awesome as well.

This was the perfect location. Loved getting up every morning and walking the path along the ocean. There is a grocery store just down the street and lots of restaurants you can walk to. Downtown Kapaa is right on the other side of the condos. We did cook several meals and found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. We definitely would stay here again.

We were so impressed with the location an property for our weekend girls trip! It was easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. The pool and hot tub were open later than I expected, which meant we got to explore all day, and also enjoy the amenities. Appreciated the beach chairs at the rental that we could take with up for a day of exploring. The unit was clean and well cared for. If I go back to Kauai, I'd stay here again!
