“will go back for sure” it was a great experience great location, great place I will definetly go back

“E for excellent at Waipouli Beach Resort E406” In a nutshell, this rental was first rate! The place was clean, bed was comfortable, the furniture not dated, the view was stunning, and the pool was sweet. Centrally located with easy access to all the Kauai sites in the north and south. Safeway and Starbucks located directly across the street made getting groceries and coffee mighty convenient. REMAX did an outstanding job with this rental. We were very, very impressed and highly recommend E406.

“Hot at night” The first night was great. But the next morning when we left the condo, we followed instructions to turn the air down and it was never the same after that. We made sure the doors were shut tight. It took about 2 hours for the rooms to get down to a comfortable temp and every night we slept with no covers on because it was too hot. Seems like the air needs to be checked. We were afraid to leave our sliders open even for a little bit becuse it took so long to get the rooms back to a comfortable temp. Also, I see no reason that the kids can't use a kid-sized floaty ring in the pool and I even saw a man sipping a soda at 10 in the morning get reprimanded and told to take his beverage out. The pool was too strict this time making it kid and family-unfriendly. Also, it would be nice if the landscapers with their mowers and blowers could work around the pool hours. We used the pool exactly 1x during our stay. :(

“A grand place” WONDERfUL!

“Recomendation” It would be nice to have ceiling fans in the bedrooms and a light over the dining table. I did not receive a conformation with my room entry code number, had to get security to let us in. A guest from Billings, MT

“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.

“Very enjoyable stay and vacation!!!” We have stayed multiple times at this unit. It is always very comfortable, clean, and a quiet facility. We enjoy the facility every time we stay here. The location is great and very convenient whether you want to just hang out in the area or head north or south on the island.

“Amazing” Of course the island is beautiful with lots to see and do plus relax by the beach. The weather was a pretty balanced mix of rain, cloud, and sun. The condo - fantastic location - minutes from airport, shopping, and restaurants, pretty central location so easy to get to other towns either direction, and in our opinion right down the path from the best beach plus excellent snorkeling! And the two playgrounds nearby were lots of fun for our kids. The condo had enough space for a five-person family. Well-stocked - we cooked one or two meals there every day and barbecued out by the pool a couple times, the condo had lots of books and games (lots of books in the laundromat too) as well as netflix, and the owners provided a bin of snorkels and beach toys which we used every day and really appreciated! Our favorite thing to do was drink coffee and watch whales from the balcony every morning. The bed was a but uncomfortable - we were kind of stiff in the mornings - but not unbearable. I miss it and would def go back!

“Love Kauai” We have been to Kauai many times usually on a timeshare exchange. I was a bit worried about the rental experience, but I felt better after talking to Garden Island Properties. They were great all the time. The condo was very clean, nice decor, our favorite location in Kappa. Very well stocked with everything. The view at Kappa Shores is beautiful. A few minor problems like the wifi didn't work and the dishwasher. If we would have called them they would have fixed it. We didn't care as my hot spot on my phone worked fine and we ate out mostly. If I had to rent again I would call them and trust everything would be great. Best tacos ever is across the street at Tiki Taco. Tiny place, but big good tacos. At Kappa Shores park where they tell you as we saw other cars towed away on the back street. Everyone there is always friendly and helpful. My husband forgot his watch and some other items there and Garden Island Properties were so nice when I called from the airport and mailed the items to us. A+ to everyone there.

“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!

“Relaxing” It was a great place to stay. The condo is well furnished and had lots of amenities. The only negatives are no beach to swim at and the couch needs to be replaced. We love the Kapaa area and all the restaurants that area available.

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

“Kauai was amazing, no words can describe the beauty of it.” We had a wonderful time in Kauai. The unit was clean, had everything there to use in kitchen and bathroom, and poolside. The washer/dryer was convenient for laundry. The view was wonderful and the ocean breeze was refreshing throughout the apartment. It was centrally located on the island to drive to northern and southern shores plus could walk across the street for shopping, etc. Maintenance was handled in a timely manner and everyone was pleasant. Definitely will refer to friends and family.

“unbeatable views!” Our family of six stayed her June 2014. The house fit our needs and the location was perfect. We have been to Kauai multiple times (8-10 over the past 20 years) and prefer the Kapaa area above all others. It is a convenient launching point whether you are heading north to Hanalei or south to Lihue or Poipu. Many restaurants and the ABC store are just minutes from the door. The first thing we did upon arrival was rent 6 bicycles for the week from the little store on Inia street across from the Ono shave ice stand. Every morning we rode bikes along the 4 mile path. The views are spectacular! My teenagers rode their bikes to Kealia beach about two miles away and swam daily. Only two complaints - two of our kids had to sleep downstairs (two bedrooms up and one down). Downstairs is not air-conditioned and it became pretty hot. They suffered through until the third day when the ants were too much to handle. Little ants everywhere, even in the beds. At that point they moved upstairs and one slept on the sofa bed (not pulled out as the mattress was too thin) and the other on the floor. Take care of the ant issue and get an air-con unit for downstairs and this easily becomes a 5 star place for a family of 6! Oh and wifi is extremely limited - we had about 2 hours a day where we could get wifi.

“Great property, great island” Great condo with plenty of space. Clean and stayed cool day and night! Three minute walk to the beach and ten minute walk to hotels like kauai coast and aston islander down the road (we had friends staying down there). Really close to town, grocery stores, many restaurants, and great swimming/sunbathing beaches. All the towels you could need and snorkel gear and boogie board rental places were just a quick walk down the street. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again!

“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.

“Family honeymoon!” This was an absolutely wonderful home!! We couldn't have asked For a better place to stay! Everything we needed was already there! The location was great, we loved it when there was a cruise ship in the Harbor, you can see it from the deck!! It truely felt like a home away from Home (I personally liked it better than my own home!) We can't say thank you enough to the owners and rental company For making our trip so enjoyable!!
