Such a nice spot to explore Kaui from. Communication with host was easy and supportive. The space was clean, comfortable and Private. It was lovely being right in the water and getting up with the birds! After long days exploring it was nice to have some food options nearby.

Great place to start our trip!

This location was perfect for a late flight arrival, only about 15 min from the airport. The unit itself was cozy but just what we needed to relax for a few days and just chill. The sound of the ocean at night was sooo nice and in the morning, just grab your coffee (bring extra Keurig cups if you need them or buy at Coconut Marketplace next door. Tons of places to eat and drink within a few steps. Until was a bit hard to find in the dark but just park to the right of the office somewhere and take the path past the coffee place straight back to the ocean and you’ll find it. Great place, would definitely stay here again!Mahalo

Ocean View & Sound of the Waves Against the Shoreline are Spectacular!

The view of the ocean from the veranda and the sound of the waves against the shoreline were one of many magnificent highlights of our stay in Kauai at the Islander on the Beach. The east shore locale, was a perfect midway point to visiting both the north and south shore. Also, just steps to the Coconut Marketplace, it was convenient for shopping and food. Island Market was our favorite for food, drinks and gifts. We celebrated our 25th Anniversary, Aloha Style.

Beautiful view

We love the convenient location of Islander on the Beach, and the view from 252 was exquisite. We looked straight out at the ocean from the comfy chairs on the lanai, and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The room was well equipped with beach chairs and appliances, and the property manager was very helpful. It was a perfect getaway.

Couples Vacation

This area was perfect for us as a couple and was much more private than north/south shore. We felt less “touristy” but with plenty of things to do and easy access to north/south shore with a car. Highly recommend!

Great Central Location

This was a nice place with a good view! It was also a good location for us as we went out West to Waimea Canyon & were able to visit some beaches out West & up North as well. It's worth knowing that there isn't a stovetop in the room, but there are some grills down by the pool & a microwave in the room for cooking. Overall, this was a good place to stay for exploring Kauai!

This was a great location for touring the island. I loved being able to sit on the balcony and see the ocean, hear the ocean waves. The complex has a very nice pool with tiki bar and grill area; restaurant just a short walk away. Included beach equipment was a plus making beach days more enjoyable. Overall, a great studio rental in a great location. I would definitely stay again!

We loved that the unit was oceanfront and we could watch the sunrise every morning. Wish there was a small dishwasher though so we didn’t have to do everything by hand. But the room was well kept and nicely decorated and very comfortable. Thanks for the chocolates!

Fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean!

Our experience here was wonderful! Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean never got old and we slept every night with the door open to hear the waves all night. The location on the east side of the island made it perfect for us to hop around easily to different parts of the island. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. We didn’t use the pool but spent one night hanging out in the hot tub and it was great. Definitely would recommend the property in the future

Nice one bedroom right on the beach

What a great find! Right on the beach, condo complex with a combination of private owned properties and they have a tiki bar that runs happy hour 3-6 and stays open till 9pm. Lots of great walkable restaurants and the market at Coconut Place right next door is the best ABC store on the island.. Condo had everything needed for two people. Loved having beach chairs and a cooler included for use! Would recommend.
