We chose this for our last night, because of proximity to the airport because we had an early flight out! Perfect for that! However with 5 adults it was smaller than we assumed by the pictures online. We only stayed one night so it didn’t matter. We walked to Dukes for dinner which was a nice place on the beach, which is also super close! My only complaint is the late check-in. We checked in right at 4, & the cleaning lady was still in the unit, saying floor had not been mopped yet! Crazy when check out is at 10. Expected it to be clean after 6 hours of it being vacant!!

Our visit was short, but we were very happy with the accommodations!! Close to restaurants and shipping too!! Thank you Keith and Sara!!

We have stayed at Banyon Harbor three times now and this is by far the nicest condo we have stayed in. Very clean and fully stocked with towels, boogie boards and beach chairs which helped us out a lot. Great pool with an amazing view. You can’t beat the location. Walking distance to a fantastic beach that isn’t super busy and plenty of food and shops everywhere. It seems to be very safe and we always feel comfortable letting our teens/young adults go wander around on their own as well. We like to explore the island so this is a great middle spot to save on driving time to reach our day trip destinations. Thanks for having us!

My friends and I (5 of us) had the most perfect stay here at The Happy Turtle. Check in was easy, parking provided and Keith and Sara had stocked this apartment with pretty much everything you could ever need from a clothes steamer to even sunscreen. The location was very convenient as everything was close by. Plenty of electrical outlets and usb charging ports. The two bed two bath was very generous for us and tvs in all the rooms. I cannot fault this accommodation except I only wished we had curtains in the living room for privacy but that’s about it :)

We had an awesome time at the Happy Turtle. We were there for a whole month and had family and friends come to visit while we were there. We asked them all to help with this review. Some of the points they made were: -pool was super nice - best view! -condo was lovely, and very well equipped -they provided above and beyond what we needed - games, beach chairs, lots of towels, they even got us a muffin tin and muffin mix! -even children's toys were included -great location close to the beach (in fact, a 5 min walk to one of the nicest beaches we encountered while on Kauai), stores and walking trails -white noise machines were greatly appreciated -fast communication and prompt service by Keith and Sara Thank you! We had a great vacation! Only things that could make this place better: -bigger couch would be nicer for more comfy seating -cotton sheets would be nicer for that climate -it is a busier location with some traffic. It didn't bother us, but someone who is sensitive to that might find it bothersome. The traffic is strongly outweighed by the awesome location.

They really took time to decorate the whole space really cute. Was just a short walk to the beach and pool on-site. It was definitely an older building with a great pool that really needs an update. We did know about this before coming so we took advantage of the pool at our other location. Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. This place had everything we could possibly need. It was very clean, modern and perfect for us. Thoroughly loved it.

This is a cute little place in Lihue. It’s close to the airport and was recently renovated. It was well stocked and very clean. We checked in with the front desk, the parking lot (like most in Kauai) was a little narrow, but we were able to navigate it ok in our rental van.

Beautiful and very clean two room condo with balconies and ocean views. Air conditioning helps keep the humidity down and the condo cool. Whole set up for grinding and brewing fresh coffee with easy to follow instructions. Great communication with owners snd what expectations are. We wish we could have stayed on the island longer. Many great restaurants within walking distance.

We had a great time here during our short two night stay! The hosts provided an extensive thoughtful guide with local recommendations and left such helpful amenities such as a portable cooler! The space was clean, modern and comfortable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and cozy stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed staying here. Easy walk to the bay, which was perfect for our kids and my senior mother. The pool is great, high on the hill overlooking the bay. Our in-laws we’re staying across the street at the Marriott, so that worked out great. It’s located near a busy street, so there is a lot of traffic noise. It has 2 nice cots, but it was pretty tight fit. It was great being centrally located so going up to north shores or south shores was a quick trip, which, when traveling with small kids, is a plus!

Had an amazing time at the Happy Turtle. Communicating with Keith and Sara was so easy and they did their best to accommodate us and help us with anything we needed. Checking in and out was smooth. The place looks exactly like the pictures and was super clean. Had literally everything we could’ve needed which made our stay even more enjoyable! The 2 bathrooms is a huge bonus and rare. It’s in the perfect location, close to the beach and many food trucks. It’s also a good location for those who don’t want to rent multiple places around the island. It was never much more than an hour drive to get to either end of the island. I’d definitely choose to stay here again if I visit the island in the future.

This beautiful VRBO is clean, excellently styled and has a good family layout. There are two bathrooms - on that is an en-suite, and the other that is a stand-alone so if someone is waking up early or going to be late, no one is disturbed. We stayed at The Happy Turtle with our 3 children. Their favourite was the pool! The pool was a comfortable temperature (slightly heated) which is a must even in Hawaii. Taking care of recycling and garbage was also really easy as it was just a short walk from the front door. My family enjoyed two of the lanai's on a regular basis as well. You would be lucky to get this place if it isn't booked! It really is a find. We have stayed in several places in Kauai and this one was one of my favourites for a 1/3 the price. There is also a desk for work if you need it. Welcome to Kauai!
