Second Honeymoon!

What a time! 50 steps to the beach! Restaurants and shopping in easy walking distance. The East shore location was perfect for going to the North shore or South shore. We had a blast!

Wailua

Loud, horrible foam mattress, no fresh towels, no laundry on site, hard to communicate with anyone, Wailua is not a great place to stay. The beach is small and slopes down. The pool was small, crowded and dirty. The traffic thru Wailua is very congested and almost impossible to get anywhere.

We regret to learn that your recent stay at Islander on the Beach in Kapa'a did not meet your expectations. I cannot find any prior attempts at communication from your end. Could you please specify whether you tried reaching out via email, VRBO, or phone? Providing these details would be valuable for our continuous improvement efforts. The most recent message we have on record from you was in response to our check-in message, where you mentioned, "Everything is going great! Mahalo." Regrettably, we have no documented history of any further communication during your stay. Regarding the issue with laundry facilities, we'd like to point out that in our VRBO advertisement, we clearly mention the availability of nearby Laundromats, which are just a short six to seven-minute drive from the property. We're sorry to hear that you were not aware of this information; however, it is prominently stated in our ad for your convenience. are sorry to hear you were not aware, however this is stated in the ad. You mentioned Wailua repeatedly in your review, and we would appreciate further clarification, as Kapa'a is the location of our property. While Kaua'i is a relatively small island, it can experience traffic congestion, particularly during peak times. However, it's important to note that the island lacks multi-lane highways, so any traffic issues are on a smaller scale compared to more urban areas. Kaua'i's natural beauty is accompanied by consistent surf conditions, which can result in a gentle slope on our beaches. We haven't received this specific complaint before, but we appreciate your feedback. If you're looking for a different experience that better suits your preferences, you might consider exploring other Hawaiian islands like Maui. We also manage units there, and it could provide the change of scenery you desire for your next visit. Mahalo for sharing your feedback with us, and we hope you have a wonderful time wherever your travels take you next. Take care.

Nice location..but

Condo was not exactly what I would have expected for the money we spent for the 7 days. The grounds, pool, pool bar and the ocean view were very nice. The condo was very, very outdated and there was a terrible smell from mildew. The worst was the smell of mildew from the closet. The closet had to be left open so my wife’s clothes didn’t reek. We stayed there a week and we were provided only 2 washcloths and four towels. The bedding was very dingy and overused. I will return to Kauai but won’t take the chance of getting stuck with that type of condo at that location.

First and foremost, we want to express our sincere gratitude for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. Your insights are incredibly important, as they help us continually refine and enhance our services. As you might be aware, Kauai is renowned as the wettest island in the Hawaiian chain, and being oceanfront, our property, Islander, faces a unique challenge in managing humidity, even with the presence of air conditioning. We genuinely regret any inconvenience caused by the mildew smell you encountered, and we will promptly address this matter with our housekeeping team. However, it's important to acknowledge that in our coastal setting, managing humidity can be a persistent challenge, and we appreciate your understanding in this regard. As stated in our advertisements, we do not provide daily maid service. We offer towels based on the length of your stay, and there are conveniently located laundromats nearby for your convenience. Your mention of the bedding issue is greatly appreciated. We will certainly relay this to our cleaning team and have them assess the necessary replacements. It's worth noting that we did not receive any specific requests for replacements during your stay. We are always eager to address any concerns that our guests may have promptly, but it's vital that such issues are reported for us to take immediate action. Once again, thank you for sharing your valuable feedback. We genuinely appreciate your understanding and cooperation. If you have any more concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Mahalo and have a blessed day!
