Islander on the Beach 352 Ocean Front *Penthouse* AC

A perfect spot overlooking the ocean from the 3rd floor with a nice little lanai. A good breeze comes through at times to help the AC (which was intermittent). The room is small, but clean and efficient. Just what we wanted. The bed is comfortable and spacious. Microwave, streaming TV, mini fridge, room safe, plates, utensils, etc. shower worked well. Close to Lava Lava restaurant and Coconut Marketplace. Responsive host. Will definitely re-book.

We had a very enjoyable stay in Kauai and would definitely consider staying here again. The location was excellent, with plenty of nearby shops, restaurants, and options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, making it easy and convenient to enjoy the area.The unit itself was comfortable and had a beautiful ocean-view setting. During our stay, the air conditioner stopped working, but the host was very responsive and had it repaired within two days. We appreciated the quick communication and effort to resolve the issue. There were also extra fans available, which helped while the repair was being completed.A couple of minor improvements could make the stay even better. The bathroom exhaust fan was not working and could use repair. It would also be helpful to provide a mop, as the oceanfront environment can lead to sand and dirt being tracked in, and we like to keep the property clean and well cared for during our stay. We would also appreciate having additional towels available, especially since there is no washer and dryer unit in the room. If guests do not book directly through Islander on the Beach, having an extra set of sheets available would be a nice addition as well.The rooms are beginning to show their age and could benefit from some updates and freshening up, but overall the property was clean, comfortable, and enjoyable.Overall, we would rate our experience 4.5 out of 5 stars. We had a great time and would happily return in the future.

Amazing view, convenient location, and comfortable bed. Perfect for our 4 days spent exploring Kauai.

We very much enjoyed our 3 night stay! Walkable to so many areas & a beautiful view. Definitely will be back!!

The location was great and plenty of restaurants and shopping near by. AC was perfect. Nice to have the beach chairs and cooler available. Pool was enjoyable. Great for a long weekend or week.

The room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the ocean and beach. Parking was sometimes difficult if you arrived at the resort later at night. The in room air conditioner was much appreciated and worked great. Besides a minor issue with a non working bathroom sink pop up stop, everything else was great. A 5 star room well worth the money. We would stay again. Thanks.

No stove and the fridge was tiny. I am not sure if the ad showed no stove or not. Overall the room was adequate but due for a refreshing. The bathroom fan didn't work and tha cabinet hinges in the bathroom and kitchen were loose. The bathroom sink stopper only allowed water to drain if you removed it. Nothing to ruin our trip and the view off the balcony was worth everything. The property as a whole was better than the botanical garden we paid to see. (Smiths)

Was great

The view from this studio condo was phenomenal and exactly as advertised. The room was hotel room-sized as expected but was fine for the two of us. The small kitchenette had a microwave, toaster, coffee pot, and dorm-sized fridge which was enough to have bagels and coffee for breakfast or a sandwich for lunch. Plates, cutlery, and cups were provided along with beach chairs and beach towels. There were several grocery stores a short drive away and a small grocery/ABC store at the shopping center next door that you can walk to. It was easy to get to and it's location on the island makes it easy to get to other sights.

The view was amazing. Was in a great location on the island. Quick 1 hour drive to go north or south. Perfect place for my wife and I…

Really enjoyed our holiday! We were well taken care of by Candace and Kathy! Great hosts!

Great condo - right on the beach. A/C works well which is a must for sleeping. Will hopefully visit again!

This property is a gem! Breathtaking views of the ocean and you can hear the waves at night. Excellent location next to coconut marketplace with shops, markets and tons of food options. Kapa’a is also conveniently located on the island if you’re exploring both south and north shore on your trip!

So beautiful! That's what my husband and I kept saying during our stay here at Islander Beach. The room was clean and very comfortably set up for our 10 day stay! Uncompromised view of the ocean was so amazing. Why did i think we needed our sound machine for sleep? All we needed was the lullaby of the sound of the ocean by opening the patio door!!

My first impression was not great, the place smelled very musty and I didn’t even want to open my suitcase. We turned up the AC went to dinner and came back to a room that no longer smelled musty.The view from the lanai is amazing, especially those sunrises. We were here during a full moon and it was like daylight and so beautiful.The condo itself has just about everything you need. We had 6 sets of nice big bath towel sets, 2 beach towels, 2 chairs, 2 small coolers, coffee filters, cutting boards and much more in all the drawers & cabinets.The location is perfect! We were here for 7 days and only had a small amount of rain one morning. There are 7 restaurants, a mall and small grocery store within walking distance to the condo. The beach is right there. We never had to take our chairs down, there were always open lounge chairs when we wanted to go to the beach. The beach was never crowded, you have your own space! The maintenance around the condo is fantastic, I just wish they would maintain the beach front by raking up the pinecones from the trees occasionally.Parking at night was sometimes an issue. 3 nights we had to park outside the complex.We liked having a freezer and refrigerator in the room along with all the places to hang wet clothing and towels. The place was super clean. My suggestions is a luggage rack next to the tv since there are only 2 drawers available and plastic wine/glasses. Would stay here again!!

The beach is beautiful. Restaurants and grocery store are within walking distance, which is a huge plus. Kayaking is close by. It’s also close to the airport.

I had an amazing stay at Islander on the Beach 352 Ocean Front in Kauai! The location is perfect – centrally located on the island, making it easy to explore all the best spots. Waking up to incredible sunrises every morning was a highlight. The condo was clean, and the bed was super comfy, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. It’s also close to great restaurants and shopping, which made things so convenient. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Kauai!

We have stayed at this property several times before through the hotel portion. This time we rented a condo through VRBO. We love the property and location. Everything about the individual condo was great. It was an oceanfront condo on the third floor. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. There were plenty of towels. Candace was very responsive to our questions and replied to texts within minutes. We were able to check in early too. I will definitely stay here again next time we are in Kauai.

Very satisfactory

Only steps from the beach and many great shops and restaurants. Excellent communication with host/owner. Quiet location except for the roosters LOL! Will book again!

Stayed at this complex two years ago; enjoyed it so much we returned for a second time; looking forward to a third visit in a year or two.

Super nice vacation unit right on the beach. Small kitchenette was fully stocked so perfect for morning sunrise coffee and evening drinks and appetizers. Good location halfway between the north and South island highlights. Hanalei Bay and Waimea State Park should not be missed! A car is a must but take time to rent bikes for a gorgeous ride on the path adjacent to Islander on the Beach!

We loved the view from the lanai most of all. We enjoyed incredible sunrises every morning. The location was fantastic with tons of food and shopping options within walking distance. The unit was clean and comfortable, and suited our needs perfectly. We hope to visit again in 2026.

Plug and Play!! The property and Manager were outstanding. Everything needed was arm's length. Amazing Unit for the sunrise.

Very comfortable. Amazing location with a lot of nearby shopping and restaurants.

Room was spacious and clean. The view was gorgeous. The ocean was right off our lanai (we were on the 3rd floor) with spectacular sunrises. Only bad thing was that there was no laundry area. We weren’t allowed to use the hotels. We had to use the public laundromat a few minutes down the road and unfortunately someone had washed greasy clothes and we ended up having to buy few new items. Otherwise it was a great stay.

The property was beautiful and quiet (besides the roosters). Located in a great area with shops and restaurants. The unit itself was very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

The condo was perfect for our honeymoon! Great location with tons of shops and restaurants nearby. Right across from the beach, waking up to the sunrise every morning. Awesome place!

We stayed here after dropping our family at the airport, the day after getting married! I spoke to Candace about checking in early, the day of check-in, and she was very accommodating. The room is exactly as it appears in the listing, the property is very well maintained, and the pool/tiki bar situation is amazing. The location is great, lots of things to do and places to eat nearby. We would certainly stay again. The roosters are prevalent and vocal on the property, but that's Kauai!
