The balcony is awesome, but ...
I am disappointed that the condo needs repair, paint, and replacement of the old, cracked linoleum flooring in the kitchen and hallway, which my wife tripped over and fell. The living room and bedroom carpet is old, dirty, and needs replacement. The carpet retains a horrible musty smell if the breeze does not flow throughout the condo. The bathroom had minor drywall repairs but no sanding or paint. If the condo was painted, floor coverings were replaced, and the location was updated, that would be great. The majority of our time was on the balcony. We are pleased that most of our vacation was in Princeville at a fabulous condo at The Cliffs. I commonly try not to leave evaluations, but I felt compelled to share our experience for the money paid.

I am terribly sorry you had a bad stay. I have spent about $20,000 replacing all the windows facing the ocean and just finished that project today. My sole focus over the next 2 weeks will be flooring replacement and painting. Today, I did have my handyman reglue down the tile that was loose. My housekeeper must not have realized the tile was loose when she came in to clean prior to your arrival. Long story short, your great feedback has allowed a lot of positive changes to occur for future guests. Thank you! Luke

The view and location were wonderful. Communication with owner was great We feel that the linoleum on the floors needs replacing. They have tape over some areas and there are chips and raised areas on floor. Definitely not safe for elderly or children We feel this property has a lot of potential with some tlc. We also believe there should be more cookware and basic seasoning for cooking Very clean and nice property

After a very rough check in experience the stay was enjoyable. Host did not share the key with us so we had to rent out another hotel until host responded. Kitchen utensils and house amenities are basic but proximity to the activities, bay and ocean views from the balcony are amazing!

Great location; unit needs maintenance.
Great location, looking out on the beach. Great views of the sunrise. The unit needs maintenance. The floor tile in front of the refrigerator was taped down with clear, packing tape. Other areas of the kitchen tile were peeling up. My partner got a bloody toe from stubbing her toe on peeled up tile. Shame on the management company for not fixing this. You would not describe the carpet has clean. Kitchen was minimally equipped. No baking pan, not even a small 5 x 7 size. And not even a paring knife for the kitchen. And 1 steak knife. But there were a couple larger knives of good quality. Plenty of silverware. A couple of nice beach chairs, and a nice small cooler for going to the beach. Refrigerator was newer with a great icemaker. Overall, this could be a great unit if the owner and managers were willing to step up their maintenance. Thanks for reading.

Wailua Bayview a wonderful stay.
The location is halfway to anywhere on Kauai, which made travel on the island easy. It is close to Lihue Airport. You will find that you can relax at Wailua bay beach which is just behind the condos within walking distance, as well. We enjoyed the pool so much and our beautiful bay view from the balcony. The property is well kept. We thank our owners Luke and Kristi for their hospitality. Enjoy your stay at Wailua Bayview, Aloha!

Wonderful sea views and breeze
Ocean facing 2nd floor unit was perfect for our stay. Refreshing sea breezes flow right through the place, making lounging and sleeping quite comfortable. Never even considered using the bedroom A/C unit. Would happily return to this spot. Even the roosters here were respectfully quieter than elsewhere on the island ;). On site manager was friendly and helpful. Let me know if Mark ever needs a fill-in or replacement - would be a great retirement gig :)

I loved my stay at this property. All aspects of the rental process were straightforward without any challenges. The unit itself is fantastic. The porch and view of the ocean are just what was depicted and desired. The location is conveniently situated to embrace all the island has to offer. My only recommendation would be to replace the very old showerhead. A thirty-dollar fix for a chorded high-pressure shower head would be welcomed after a long day of sun and fun. I am hoping to return for another visit! Thank you!

Great location
This 1bd 1 ba home is absolutely beautiful with breathing ocean views. The home is in a perfect location close to shops, groceries stores, dinning & there's a gas station right across the street. Check out Passions Backery thats also across the street. The home has everything you'll need to cook with including a coffee maker, crock pot, & a blinder. The owners answering all my messages quickly. The grounds keeper was friendly & helpful with recommendations. The 1 & only con is, the home does not have central AC. BUT, there is AC in the bedroom. We enjoyed our time here & would stay again.

Kauai Visit
The property is on the second floor which meant that IF anyone walked by, they could not look into your condo. And i only saw the manager and one couple walk by there as it is a narrow path of grass between the building and the ocean. It was fabulous! I could listen to the ocean all night and look at the stars. Or you could choose to sleep in the bedroom which was extremely quiet and dark. Perfect for sleeping. I personally prefer the sound of the ocean and the sight of the night sky. You could walk to dozens of fabulous restaurants - any variety you choose. I'd definitely recommend Passion Bakery across the street in the morning. Not only fresh made, also plenty of breakfast and lunch choices. The condo was very comfortable, had everything i needed and more. I liked that the couch had a cover that was clean and fresh. Clearly it gets washed after every guest. And having a washer and r=dryer with all the sweating from the heat was a definite plus. I highly recommend this place. I'd return here again! And there are 2 beach options within minutes of the condo. And a length of beach for walks. Parking is included. The facility manager was very helpful. No hesitation recommending this!

The Good: Beautiful view from the lanai, nice TV. Unfortunately the location is Not a very nice area: there was road construction and traffic jams the whole time. Not the condo owner's fault, but did not care for the area too busy and loud. Hard to sleep at night. Has a swimming pool in the middle of the parking lot. Hardly anyone uses it. Would not stay there again. although The VRBO contact was very nice & responsive during the rental process no disclosure about road construction going on.

Amazing view at a great price
We booked this place last minute when our previously plans fell through, and we wished our stay could’ve been longer. You can’t get a better view for a better price. There were a lot of nice restaurant and shopping options within walking distance. The property had everything we needed and more. My only minor complaint is the pillows were not very comfortable and there weren’t any extra blankets, but that’s a minor sacrifice for how great everything else is.

Gorgeous view, great place
This was the perfect place for our Kauai vacation. The view was amazing from the balcony. Living room was comfortable for relaxing, though you will need to crank the air conditioning up in the bedroom to make it comfortable temperature wise. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, just right to my personal taste. The kitchen was well appointed with all you need to make meals, but be aware the floor is repaired with clear packing tape for some reason and they prefer you not wear shoes in the apartment. That was a bit strange but workable. Did not detract from our stay. Excellent value, great place, would totally stay again, highly recommended.

The Big Island 2022
The condo is very nice! It’s a bit dated with tile countertops and a very weird kitchen sink that need to be greatly updated and upgraded. All the appliances are wonderful. The evening sunsets are simply amazing from the lanai! Pool is directly across from the condo and has superb gas grills. Hole 3 is located directly behind and it is fun to watch as golfers come thru on this water guarded mid length par 3. Overall it is a wonderful place it just needs to be updated to 2022 from the 90s as far as the kitchen and the gold trim bathrooms. Definitely worth the stay. The KTA store is right around the corner perhaps a 3 minute drive at most. You might get a little sticker shock at the prices there but there is a Farmland store about 12 minutes away. They carry Parker Ramch beef which is grown here on the island. It is the best and the prices are very reasonable for that. We had a wonderful week here and will stay again. Once again the SUNSETS are pure art every evening.

Enjoyed the stay once we got in and settled. The location was great and convenient to every part of the island. The down part was. The complex does not have an elevator and the condo had 1 a/c unit and its in the bedroom. This complex is not handicap accessible and was very hard for 2 senior ladies to drag luggage up stairs. The listing needs to mention this.

Pros and Cons
Pros: Central island location, which is great for exploring all Kauai has to offer; you will need a car. Complex is clean and quiet. The pool is a nice option. Bedroom stays cool with AC and the bed is comfortable. The beach supplies are a thoughtful touch and appreciated. Cons: If you want a place where you can hang out at the beach, this is not it. The complex is nice, but the surrounding area is not. There is an abandoned building on the corner that has become a drug hangout. (My daughter was hit up 4 times in one afternoon.) There is what appears to be a homeless camp there and in some of the rocks below the balconies. The place doesn't seem dangerous, just not nice for hanging out at the beach. The kitchen has some basics (dishes, pots/pans, knives, cutlery) but missing others such as measuring cups and scissors. There is also a leak in the fridge that creates a puddle in one of the drawers and on the bottom, about which the host never responded. Overall... the place was okay, but I would not stay there again.

If you were closer to the ocean you would be in it! Great view and nice accommodations. Good location with easy walking to the beach, restaurants and shops. Being on the East side is great because you have the ability to check out either side of the island everyday. Luke, really makes the whole process from checking in through check out very easy. We took his and his wife’s advice on their snorkeling recommendation and we saw some Sea turtles.

Just right for us
This property is easy to find, close to Lihue and Kapa’a. Description was accurate and check in/check out easy. It’s a quiet condo. We stayed on the second floor. The view was beautiful. We watched surfers in the day and you can see the lights of planes take off at night, but you don’t hear them. One morning we saw whales far out. Beach access is a very short walk. We had no trouble getting around. Across the street is a great little place to get lunch or breakfast. The condo is a little dated but very clean and comfortable. I might suggest replacing the flooring in the kitchen. Our host provided beach gear and even binoculars. The bed was really comfortable. My only complaint, and this is not the fault of the owner, is the chickens. They are all over everywhere and they often start crowing and screaming at 3am. Turn on the air conditioner and wear earplugs. We would definitely stay there again. Great spot.
