“Great location at an affordable price!” This little condo was perfect for our needs. The location served as the perfect place for me to experience Waikiki for the first time. Just a short walk to Waikiki beach, Dukes, Island Vintage coffee, and shopping. We really only used the room for showers and sleeping (3 days 2 nights) so the size was just fine. If the stay was longer I would have preferred a more conventional kitchen with a range but we ended up eating out for the most part. Mark was great, very accessible by phone and took care of a little hiccup with the cleaner timely and professionally. I would absolutely stay here again for short trips to Waikiki!

“Great lodging at a great price!” Pros: -Location was great, right next to Lydgate State Park and beachfront. Beach directly in front of condos is very nice and not at all crowded. Very short drive to Kapaa. Close to a nice public golf course. -Centrally located on the island, a short drive to all other tourist destinations. Easily accessible from highway, you'll avoid some traffic jams by not being right in town. (Kapaa) -Unit was very clean, comfortable, well-outfitted and well maintained. Just about everything in good working order. A little short on linens and pillows for 4 people. Having 1.5 baths was great. -This ground floor unit is steps from the beach, fairly close to pool and laundry. Patio views are very nice. Pool is small but fine. Hot tub not working. Condo complex is well-maintained, feels secure, staff super friendly and helpful. There were always staff and/or security around. -Unit came with beach towels, chairs, coolers. I don't think all units have those things. -Furniture was utilitarian but nice and clean. Plenty of nice patio furniture. Cons: -This particular unit got quite warm during the day due to its location in the complex. Direct sun from ocean side most of the day. Only an issue if your body temp runs on the hot side. There are shades to close. Master bedroom on opposite side of unit was shaded by other buildings and stayed cool. Unit was equipped with 2 portable fans (a bonus) and 2 ceiling fans. I don't know which units might be cooler during the day--or if all on the ocean side would have this issue. Living room ceiling fan did not work well, bedroom ceiling fan worked great. -Fold-out futon bed is small, would be tight for two adults. Didn't work for our two teen boys. Fortunately, chairs in living room also fold down flat, we put 2 together for a second bed. We should have checked that out in advance.

“Awesome place!” We were pleasantly surprised when we entered this wonderful condo. It had all the amenities needed for a fantastic vacation. We were tickled by the roosters and there was one I joked that he probably smoked 10 packs of Pall Malls he sounded so bad. We weren't bothered by it but it may become annoying for others when they roost at 4am. They are all over the island so if you think it may annoy you, I don't think you can escape them. There is a nice trail and the ocean is 50 ft off the lanai and was close to everything. For great BBQ ribs make sure to go to Chicken in a basket and for some of the best ice cream go to Lappert's. We would absolutely stay here again if available on our next visit to Kauai

“Great July weekend in Kaha Lani” The apartment was well-situated to get supplies from Lihue and allow to explore both the northern and southern parts of the island in at most a 1hr drive. The apartment itself was spacious, provided a great view of the ocean, and had most amenities (real working knives that cut stuff!). Although the apartment had no AC, the ocean breeze was sufficient to keep things temperate even on the hottest days and nights. I would highly recommend it and would definite consider renting again when I find myself back in Kauai.

“We loved our stay at Plantation Hale and hope to come back soon!” This is a review of condo D11 at the Plantation Hale in Kauai. We are a family of four: 2 adults, a girl aged 14, and a 10 year-old boy. We stayed for 10 days: May 31st through June 10th, 2014. Driving from the airport to the Hale is a quick trip. Kauai is a small island and the Hale is located about equidistant from the southern beaches and the northern beaches (which turned out to be our favorites). It’s on the edge of the town Kapa’a. You can walk to the local Foodland and the Safeway and on into the town center, but we were consistently lazy and just drove. Kapa’a is small and feels like a real Hawaiian town (as opposed to Lahue, the big city you fly into). The condo itself is quite a bit bigger than I expected with plenty of room for our family. We brought way too much stuff and didn't use most of it, so we just stored it all in the roomy closets. The kitchen is a good size and has lots of usable counter space and a pass-through to the dining area so you can talk to people in the living room while cooking or cleaning. The bathroom has a huge counter containing the sink, which turned out to be very useful because we had a shocking number of hair products, sun products, bug dope, and assorted toiletry bottles we used every day, and I don’t know where they would have ended up (or where we would have applied them) if the bathroom didn't have this big counter and open space. The bedroom had a brand new king sized bed, which was very comfortable. The pull-out sleeper couch was also new and very comfortable. There was also two nice televisions in the unit, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The condo was recently redecorated and remodeled. They did an excellent job, as the feel is very modern and the furnishings are quiet nice. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect family vacation. We were on the top, second floor. The condo is on the beach side of the Hale as opposed to the highway side so you don’t hear the road while in the condo. Parking was never an issue and we were always able to easily park within a few yards of the entrance to our stairs. The condo itself was very quiet. The building seems pretty heavily built and we rarely heard anybody. I don’t know if the first floor guests could hear us stomping around, but no one complained. The condo complex has 3 pools but our condo was closest to the best one with a hot tub, outdoor shower, pool and an outdoor cooking grill. Since it’s just down the stairs and across a short sidewalk you don’t need to put on shoes. It was also kind of handy to be able to just look over at the pool from our porch to see if anyone was currently using the hot tub. The porch runs along the entire length of the condo, so there is room for guests if you happen to meet people during your vacation. In summary: We really enjoyed the condo. It was very useful and didn't have any real negatives. Also, even though this is a review of the Hale condo, I highly recommend vacationing in Kauai. I've been to the big island, Oahu and Maui over the years and Kauai is now definitely my favorite island. It’s got everything we needed for a Hawaiian vacation: hiking, snorkeling, body surfing and actual surfing, many different beaches with varied attributes, and, it’s all beautiful! Just driving around looking at the scenery is fun. I also think Kapa’a is a great town to stay in, as it seems to be a good mix of size, location (on the island), convenience and authentic feel. We really enjoyed walking around the town and visiting the many different shops and eateries. We loved renting bikes and biking the awesome trail along the shore. And we really enjoyed the body surfing at the beach on the north end of town. If we manage to do this again we will try to get this same condo as it seemed just about perfect for our needs.

“Great Unit - very happy here!” Unit 121 at Kaha Lani was absolutely super! Very well equipped, appears to be recently renovated. The only problem is the bathroom needs some attention in future, its OK, but it really needs updating. Kitchen was well equipped & everything we required was there - the owners have put a lot of thought & effort into this unit & it shows! Need a couple of beach mats tho. We left a beach chair there for others to enjoy, hopefully will still be there in 2015! View is also super, great ocean view, eastern exposure so sunrise very nice in the mornings. We liked it here & we booked again for 2015! Garden Island Properties (in Kapa'a) was super also - anything that goes wrong or needs fixing, they do it fast with no hassles! You cannot go wrong at Kaha Lanim - its a super place to rent for any period, its a real family place as well. Pool is super & Bbqs are well maintained, the whole place is very well maintained at all times by friendly helpful staff.

“Just right” Everything... the location, condition, view, amenities... were just right. There was even Salsa dancing next doormat the aston hotel.

“Absolutely breathtaking sunrises!” This condo was perfect for my husband and I. The kitchen has been updated, the furnishings were first rate. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was very reasonable. We were able to walk to dinner many evenings. I can't say enough about how wonderful this condo was!

“Beautiful ocean views from your lanai” There are spectacular views from the lanai of this oceanfront condo. Every morning we were able to watch whales in the distance while eating breakfast! Two full bedrooms and two full baths would make this a nice place to stay for families. However it is on the third floor without an elevator but we got assistance with luggage moving in and out. The pool is heated and there is a great hot tub. A very nice place to stay that is close to many shops and restaurants but still quiet and peaceful.

“Heavenly” Lovely amenities in this condo...perfect location for our family's activities. Relaxing and the staff is amazing!!! We had a couple issues with the appliances and the staff was there immediately. The entire experience was perfect. The Swimming pool and the private grottos, plantings not to mention the size of it, was awesome.

“Wonderful in every way” We loved the size, cleanliness, and amenities of this condo. The price was well worth it. Its location is perfect for exploring all of Maui, but especially the southern area. We will be back.

“First Maui Visit” This was a great spot for the kids and to relax. Beach was just a walk across the grounds which made it convenient for all of us and reduced the stress of traveling. We had three condos all close together which made it a great trip for all of us.

“Wiohuli Beach” Love it here and will come back. People are friendly and nice. Clean and relaxing.

“A sweet sunset view, right on the ocean” The unit was fine; very clean and quiet, on the second floor with a terrace with an ocean view. We were glad to find plenty of towels, sheets, kitchen equipment, and even beach chairs and umbrellas. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We did notice a few unsavory characters hanging out and drinking nearby, but we never felt in danger from them. The beach, though pretty, isn't great for swimming, but happily, we spotted sea turtles feeding along the shore at sunset several times. And terrific swimming/snorkeling beaches are a quick drive away.

“The view... sigh, the view” We stayed on Maui for a week and really enjoyed the central location and ocean view from this property. It's big and comfortable enough for two people and the updates to the unit did not go unnoticed. Would definitely stay again if we were lucky enough to come back!

“Zowie in Maui” The rental had the most equipped kitchen I've ever stayed in. The place was spacious and I love the art work throughout. The beds were comfortable. I liked the view and the proximity to the grocery store. The pool was lovely. It wasn't a place I would want to hang out in though, and the beach isn't that great; but we loved it for its cleanliness and proximity to various "day trip destinations" like the road to Hana, Haleakana, Big Beach, a coral reserve, a farmer's market, the Iao Needle, etc. in Maui. We enjoyed our stay. The only problem I had is that I wish we could have paid the entire fee by credit card and I would have glad paid an extra fee to do so for the convenience.

“Good stay” Good stay

“Our Maui Holiday” Although I didn't personally stay in #214 ..... I rented that unit for my daughter and her children, I know they had a wonderful time but did leave a short list of items that were of concern. It is a beautiful location and a wonderful place to holiday.

“127” This is a wonderful place to stay. It's almost heaven...watching the ocean, swimming in the great pool, really nice other tenants and great location.

“This was a great place to stay in Kehei.” The pool was great. The unit was very nice and was just what we needed. The beach was nice for sunsets and sunrises and walks on the beach but the one draw back was there was a large amount of seaweed on the beach and in the water which made swimming there not very desirable. There are other great Beaches for swimming and snorkeling not very far away.
