Serenity | Islander on the Beach Oceanfront Studio with AC

both inside and outside could use a good scrubbing

Really a cute space with an incredible ocean view. It was perfectly sized for my wife and I, but any more would have been too many. The kitchenette was the only drawback (in that it was way “ette” - small) but it functioned. We only went out for one meal a day. Just a cute place in a good location. We loved our stay.

Fabulous - simply fabulous!! Starting each morning with coffee and fresh fruit from the market, watching the ocean and whales from our balcony was … aaaaah! The condo is beautifully appointed, bed comfortable, towels cozy, and everything you need is here or within walking distance. The pool was a refreshing dunk, the hot tub luxurious after an ocean swim, and having a Tiki Hut mai tai was beyond perfect! We loved every minute!!!

When we got there, we thought the room looked exactly like the pictures. The balcony and the room was everything we expected, and the host was an excellent communicator. We are so happy with our stay there. One thing I would mention to anybody who maybe can’t move around that great or has trouble lifting things it is a third floor condo and there are no elevators. Kauai was beautiful and we can’t wait to get back.

I absolutely loved this condo! We stayed here for 3 nights before going to our high end condo/resort in Princeville. Even though our condo in Princeville was a big 2 bedroom with 1200 sq foot living space, I loved this place more. What I loved: Could hear the ocean at night, sunrise from our lanai, literal steps to the beach, lounge chairs on the beach right in front of our room, steps to a fabulous market to eat Coconut Market Place, steps to Lava Lava Beach Club, extremely clean, great air conditioning, centrally located on the island to get to both south shore and north shore, perfect size resort to keep the pool and hot tub from being over crowded, and of course the beautiful landscaping. My only critique, and this is a very very small critique, is that the bed mattress could possibly use an upgrade. Other than that this place is perfect in my opinion. MAHALO!

Beautiful view

The location is great! Restaurants and shops just steps away. The studio apartment is nice for a short stay. This was our second stay. Would stay again if we return to Hawaii.

Great location, nice ocean view from the room.

This is our second time at the Islander on the Beach. We had such a lovely stay, the location of this unit was even better than our last one. It faces the beach and made organizi

Host was great with getting back with questions and items we needed. Would have been nice to have had more utensils for cooking at bbq and platter or pan for food to take to bbq.Bottom right drawer wouldn’t open and under sick smelled musty . Appears sink needs to be calked to prevent dampness leaking. Besides thes few minor issues our stay was great and relaxing!

Everything was exactly as described. Very convenient location.

It was fun to arrive to Hawaiian music playing, the air conditioning on, waves crashing and a clean cute place. We loved the balcony to eat, read or watch the sunrise. Restaurants close by were delicious and the market was so handy. We enjoyed every minute and would love to come back!

Location was great. Quiet area.

Exactly as described! Fantastic proximity to the north and south shore areas. Having the coconut market right there was handy for shopping and meals. The view is exactly as pictured! We would happily stay again! The property was well kept and beautiful. Great spot to watch the sunrise.

We loved our stay and it was very clean. The view from our balcony was spectacular. We had a great time and hope to stay in your condo next late September. We had a FANTASTIC honeymoon Thank you again.

This property was perfect for our 35th anniversary celebration! Our favorite activity was stepping out our door to enjoy magnificent sunrises and comical crab drama. We would absolutely stay here again. The location was ideal for exploring the entire island and having plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby.

We had an amazing experience here! It was so nice to be able to watch the sun rise from our balcony and hear the waves in our room! Everything in the room was great and as described in the listing. The area is great and easy to get around. We explored the north and south sides of the island during our stay, so the east side was a great home-base to access everything!

Absolutely perfect. The view is literally right on the beach. The landscape at the Islander is to die for and there is SO much within walking distance. We would love to come back!

Amazing view of the ocean, property was as advertised. It is very small, but perfect for 2 people if you want to be on the ocean. Loved being 30 minutes from the South and North beaches. The property was very clean.The only con were the roosters. While the chickens were fun to watch during the day the roosters started crowing every morning around 3 am. It made sleep difficult. Not much can be done, but we ended up leaving the slider open at night to have the ocean drown out some of the noise. We were up every morning by 5 am because of the roosters. It wasn't all bad though, as we got a early starts each day :)

We loved staying in this studio with an amazing balcony view of the ocean. We spent our mornings sipping coffee and taking in the view. It was so nice to have the beach, with lounge chairs a few steps from our building. There were also plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I would highly recommend this for any single or couple. The location is also central for day trips to Princeville or Poipu and beyond if you have a car.

Only stayed at this location one night because the air conditioner wasn’t working. The company was so accommodating and fast to respond. The location they moved us to was heaven! The views here were amazing also and you can walk right out to the beach and watch the sun rise. I would definitely stay again at a property owned by this company!

We will come back for sure!

We split our trip up into 3 areas, this is where we stayed on the East shore portion of our trip. It is within walking distance of a little shopping mall, and just down the road from several eating establishments and food trucks. There is a beach very close to the property but it’s not super swim friendly. Several beach chairs out there providing places to sit/lay to watch the sunrise.Our only complaint was no parking after we went to a luau, and we got a written warning for parking on the street.The condo is very nice, was clean and comes with some very handy beach equipment for use (beach chairs, cooler, towels, etc) there is also a very nice garden area between the buildings, free ice machine, and laundry area on site, but we didn’t use it.Sharon at Premier Kauai was great, and super helpful, and the owner of this condo has an adjacent one as well which may be super helpful for multiple parties visiting together.Also, don’t forget to sign the guest book!

The condo was very nice but tiny. (A studio as listed). We knew this from staying here previously so no surprises. The property is awesome with great social area with pool, hot tub & bar.

It was very quiet and comfortable, near the ocean and beach. We loved watching the sunset and sunrise.

The view is everything! We are beach people, and the condo is like 75 feet from the beach. Stunning sunrises! Close to amenities and marketplace. Unit is very acceptable, clean and very few tiny bugs! Other reviews are accurate; only toaster oven & Keurig, so if you prefer more of a kitchenette, perhaps another unit. Planning to return next year.ifyou prefer more of a kitchen area.

Beautiful sunrise view.. clean room with a split unit AC and property was awesome!

Great location. Very safe feeling. Beautiful view. Well stocked.

Perfect spot on the beach. Four restaurants within walking distance. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. Good times.

The location is great. We really enjoyed the ocean front view. The property is well stocked and clean. Two problems: The mattress is too soft. Gave me back aches, poor sleep. The bathroom sink does not drain very well.

Perfect spot for sunrise. Lots of monk seals in the surf too.

We had a quick visit to Kauai and loved the condo. The view was as good as it gets, the condo was well apportioned and clean. The bed, bedding and towels were comfortable and nice quality. The property was well maintained, beautiful vegetation, the pool area was nice, free parking was a plus and the staff on property was super friendly. We would definitely stay in that condo again.

This ocean front villa exceeded all expectations with its amazing sunrises to the relaxing sound of waves rolling onto the beach all night long. Everything was perfect upon our arrival and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Cindy for sharing your slice of heaven here at Serenity!
