This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at Islander on the beach in the Hawaii building. It has a view of the water but not direct on the boardwalk so it’s much more private. Being on the 3rd floor you can leave the slider door open and hear the ocean. This unit was great with having the extra table holding the microwave it gave you more counter space by the sink. The refrigerator was big enough to hold our snacking foods but we ate dinners out. We didn’t use the bbq’s near the pool. Safeway is only a mile north and the shaved ice next to ABC store uses natural fruits instead of artificial. we don’t recommend the store Big Savings it was actually more expensive. Coconut marketplace is right behind you and has lots of great shopping options. This unit doesn’t have beach chairs but there is a rental place next to Sleeping giant grill (great food) that rents chairs and other great beach stuff. The beach wasn’t great for swimming but 1 mile south is Lydgate beach and it’s awesome. We did a day trip up to Waimea canyon. Go early (left at 7:30am) to get up there before clouds come in. We did the tubing with Kauai Backcountry and loved it. Overall I highly recommend this condo. Bed was comfortable and it was very clean. The units are older so just expect some wear and tear.

When we arrived, the condo was a complete dirty mess. The floors were so dirty you wouldn’t want to put your foot on them. The bed had dirty sheets and hairs in them. There was long black hairs all over the floor. The tub had pubic hairs, and regular hairs in the tub. The counters were so dirty that you could take a paper towel and wipe them, and they would turn brown , there is mold growing outside on the deck. The handle for the slider had green mold on the top and the bottom or scum couldn’t tell which. There was so many problems. It was take forever to list them all, frayed wires on light switches that could be a hazard smoke detector that would not light up. Assuming it doesn’t work. Best thing is do not rent this place.

Very clean and friendly staff

Relaxing nice location
