About this property

Spectacular Views & Ammenities

Situated on the 5th (top) floor, this suite offers breathtaking panoramic ocean and pool views, overlooking the beautifully landscaped 25-acre resort.

You'll wake up to the soothing sound of waves crashing on the white sand beach, just steps away from your door. Enjoy the luxury of having a secluded 3-mile beach right at your fingertips, perfect for long leisurely walks or refreshing dips in the crystal-clear waters.

Enjoy incredible savings by booking this suite directly through me, a private owner, rather than the resort. Located on the top floor (5th floor) of the main building, this suite is conveniently situated for easy access to the front desk, restaurants, elevator, and parking. Plus, it offers the most stunning views in the entire resort!

From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by breathtaking pool and ocean views that can be enjoyed from both the suite and the spacious lanai/balcony. The suite itself measures 307 square feet, while the balcony adds an additional 58 square feet of outdoor space for you to relax and take in the scenery.

With a comfortable king-sized bed, this suite comfortably accommodates 2 adults. The chaise lounge is perfect for a child aged 5-10 years old. Additionally, there is a twin-sized air mattress available, which can be set up for a larger child or a third adult. For families traveling with infants, a Pack-n-Play crib is provided at no additional cost.

The maximum occupancy for this suite is 3 adults and 1 child, or 2 adults and 2 children. So bring your family or a group of friends along for a memorable stay in this beautiful suite.

By booking with me as the private owner, you can enjoy significant savings without compromising on the incredible views and convenient location. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the best of the resort while keeping your budget intact. Reserve your stay now and start counting down the days to your unforgettable vacation.

Per Kauai County laws, the suite does not have any cooking facilities, we offer coffee maker and a 3.5 cu. ft. fridge with freezer(counter height bar/mini fridge size). Cooler and ice packs provided. There is an ice machine and microwave down the hall in the guest lounge. Laundry facilities are on the first floor of building 1.

Furnishings are comfortable and updated.

The resort features:
• 4 swimming pools, including 2 lagoon pools, 75-ft lava tube slide, & kid-friendly pool with sand bottom
• Two whirlpool spas, one amidst a stone grotto and surrounded by lush ferns and an exotic waterfall
• Three restaurants offer a large variety of dining options from essential to exotic menus
• Enjoy shave ice poolside. Great for the kids and alcohol can be added for the adults!
• Want breakfast in bed? Room service is also available
• Poolside gazebo & bar (no shirt or shoes required!)
• Coin operated laundry room in building 1

While a lot of people enjoy staying at the resort for the pools, spa, restaurants, and beach, many people will use my place as a great home base to explore the rest of the island. Lihue puts you less than an hour to the north and south shores so you can really cover the whole island easily during a relatively short stay. A rental car is recommend and booking as far in advance as possible will get you the best rates.
Guest access
Check in is 4pm on the day of your arrival.
Registration and room key are obtained at the front desk in the resort lobby just like you would in a hotel.

The room key will be needed for the fitness center. Pool towels are provided in the room.

Business center with computer.

Other things to note
-Check in at front desk
-Car rental available through the front desk which can be handy for day trips. Overnight parking is $35.00/day plus tax.
-Free WiFi throughout the resort.
-There is no daily maid service. My housekeeper is independent from the resort. Mid stay cleaning, towel and trash service, or toiletries replenishment can be requested for a charge direct from my housekeeper. I do have extra supplies(toilet paper, tissue, soap etc) in bins under the bed and I supply more towel sets for longer stays
-Stays of longer than 7 nights will receive a free mid-stay room clean with fresh sheets and replenished towel and toiletries sets
-The cleaning fee, regardless of length of stay, is included in your total booking charge and prepares the room between guest stays
-There are no shops or restaurants within walking distance outside the resort so a rental car is recommended. Uber, Lyft, public bus, and taxis are also available

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

• Is this a 1 bedroom condominium?
Once a Hilton hotel, the Kauai Beach Resort is a "condotel"(condominium-hotel). You get resort luxury and individually owned rooms. However of the 364 total units, not many are owners like myself where you can book directly and save a lot of money.
My suite is hotel size: 307 square feet with a 58 square foot balcony. Most units are about this size and have similar furnishings. Due to Kauai law for this type of accommodation(condotel), there are no cooking appliances in the room, but there is a coffee maker and mini fridge with freezer. Ice machine and microwave are just down the hall. Cooler and ice packs provided.

• What's the difference between my suite, renting directly from the resort, or some other travel agency or website?
The difference is price, amenities, housekeeping, and choice of room. My suite is quite a bit less expensive overall and has one of the best views since it is on the highest floor with direct(instead of angled) ocean views.
Amenity differences(subject to change):
-no maid service for stays of 7 nights or less unless you request it for an additional fee. For stays of 8 nights or more, I will provide a free mid-stay cleaning which will give you fresh sheets and towels. If you do run out of what is initially supplied, I have extra supplies(toilet paper, tissue, coffee, etc) in bins under the bed should you need it but bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion just in case. I also try to supply enough bath towels to last your stay. If you think you may need more towels once you arrive, let me know so I can send more
-I do not charge a daily resort or amenity fee...a savings of $25/day
-the resort fee gives other guests the following extras(subject to change): newspaper, DVDs, Playstation, and yoga classes. My guests can still use the pools, spa, restaurants, bar, room service, shops, business center, fitness center, car rental, and laundry room. Plus my guests have to pay to rent DVDs.
How much is parking?
-parking is $35.00/day plus tax. All guests pay for parking
-during your stay, if you need assistance you contact myself or my on-island contact person. Most other guests would go to the front desk.

• Is this an ocean view suite?
YES. And it is not just visible out on the lanai/balcony sticking your head around the corner. It is a straight on view from the highest floor in the resort. Other independent owner suites may be less expensive, but you are getting a mountain or lagoon view.

• Is there a kitchen?
No, but I have a 3.5 cubic foot(mini) fridge with freezer and a coffee maker. There are no plates, bowls, glasses, or utensils. A microwave and ice machine are down the hall. Sorry, Kauai law for this type of property does not permit cooking appliances inside the unit

• What is there to do?
For short stays, you may want to keep it simple and stay at the resort enjoying the restaurants and bar, walks along the beach, tennis, spa, or one of the pools. For longer stays, booking a rental car ahead of time and picking it up at the airport makes sense. With a long term car rental to explore all over, there is an additional parking charge. Car rental rates vary depending on where you rent, so shop around. This great mid-island location puts you less than a hour away from the tourist activities on the north shore and south shore

• What is the bedding arrangement?
The suite is ideal for 2 adults and 2 children using the king size bed, lounger, and twin sized air mattress. I also provide a pack and play crib for babies and toddlers. The lounger is 53 inches long by 27 inches wide. Maximum accommodation is 3 adults and 1 child or 2 adults and 2 children. If you plan to use the air mattress or Pak-n-Play crib, you will have to take it out of the closet or dresser drawer and unfold it and the space in the room will be pretty tight. The air mattress inflates with a plug in pump in a couple minutes. They are both pretty easy and quick to do and I do not charge extra for them.

• Do we need our own beach towels?
I provide towels to use at the pools or beaches.

• Is there a resort fee?
No, not if you are booking directly from an owner like myself. You can still enjoy the fitness center, pools, and more.

• What about WiFi?
WiFi is free throughout the resort and in the room.

• Does the suite have air conditioning?
Yes. And nice ocean breezes.

• Other amenities in the room?
Blue Ray DVD player, LG flat screen TV, safe, towel drying rack, ice bucket, fridge with freezer, iron, ironing board, and hair dryer. The free to use air mattress and crib are in the closet or dresser drawer and easy to set up. The air mattress inflates in 90 seconds with an electric pump and is quite comfortable. The crib comes with a bassinet attachment.
• Where is suite #2508 located?
It is on the top floor(5th) of building 2. This is near to where you check in and also has the dining and shops. Elevators will get you to your floor. Most other buildings are only 3 floors. I believe this is the only building with the lounge area containing the microwave and some vending machines

Magnificent Stay

The property was exactly what we were looking for. Several Pools and Hot Tubs as well as on site beaches. We were only 8-10 minutes from restaurants & bars and only 2 miles from a golf course. Would definitely stay here again!

Serene Heavenly Stay

This is our second stay at this property and we can't wait to come back again and stay at this property. The location is PERFECT - exactly in the middle in the island so you can go north or south and it's beautifully accessible to shops and restaurants, but there is Starbucks coffee right downstairs as well as several restaurants and bars here on site if you just want to relax and not leave the property. The room is roomy, clean, and relaxing... there were a couple days when we stayed in and it was lovely. Do yourselves a favor and look up Kauai Backcountry Adventures and do the Tubing and the Ziplining - it's less than 10 minutes from the condo. And go explore the Allerton and MacBryde Gardens in Poipu - absolutely magnificent! And for the literal best breakfast on the island, Kountry Kitchen is right down the road in Kapa'a. And for dinner? Our two favorites are Duke's on Kalapaki Beach and Keoki's in Poipu Beach area. Lastly, the sunrises on the beach here right in front of the property are showstopping. Best way to start your day.

Perfect: Exactly as described

Property was exactly as described! Minutes from the airport. Great central location to explore both the north shore and south shore of the island. Resort pools and grounds very nice. Room location perfect: short walk from covered parking lot, into the main entrance, around the corner to elevator...easy peasy!! Room itself comfy and great for 2, might be a tad crowded with air mattress group of 4, but host explains that. Would absolutely stay here again!!

Beautiful Property

This Condo was just beautiful. It is exactly as the pictures taken. Andrew is a wonderful host and always responded to my questions. He also sent things to do and restaurants to visit. We met lovely people by the pool which does not disappoint. You can go down to the beach but the area is small and why get in the sand when you can hear the waves by the pool? I would stay again if I am ever fortunate to make it to Kauai.

Great Midway Location

We loved our stay at this resort in Lihue. It made for easy access anywhere on the island and close to the excursions we did. The owner was attentive, easy to work with and gave many suggestions of places to eat and activities to do, which we very much appreciated. We loved that the room came with a beach umbrella, cooler, and two beach chairs. The only downside was the wind was super strong at night while we were there. I should have invested in some ear plugs! Overall, a beautiful place to stay. Totally recommend!

It IS a Little Piece of Paradise

Andrew was the perfect host. Very responsive about any questions we had, offered suggestions of things to do & places to eat before our arrival and checked in to be sure we were happy with everything. We had one small maintenance issue & it was addressed immediately. The room and view are exactly how they look, no surprises. And the view is gorgeous & you CAN hear the ocean waves. The resort itself is nice, we never actually went to the pool, but everything was beautiful. The location was also great, as we were doing day trips to the West side & the North side. And much more affordable than some other locales. The condo location is also good in that the microwave & ice/water is on the same floor. Thank you Andrew for a wonderful stay! We would stay there again.

Resort Review – 4.5 Stars We had an overall wonderful experience at this resort and would absolutely recommend it! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the valet service was outstanding. One of the highlights of our stay was enjoying the beautiful Christmas decorations throughout the property, which really enhanced the festive atmosphere. We also found the laundry services very convenient during our visit. There were a few minor areas for improvement. While we understand policies vary, we were disappointed that we couldn’t enjoy outside food in the pool and seating areas. For example, when we ordered a pizza, we were told we could only eat it in our room. Additionally, some amenities were either out of order or seemed to need maintenance and updating. Our room was spacious with a spectacular view, but we felt it could have been a bit more comfortable. The chaise lounge was not ideal, and for a large room accommodating two adults, there was only one seat available, which we had to share. More towels in the room would have been appreciated as well. For future improvements, including snorkeling gear and water bottles for guests would be a nice touch. We didn’t use the onsite restaurant as we weren’t fond of the menu options, so we can’t speak to the dining experience. Despite these minor issues, we were overall very happy with our stay. The positives far outweighed any negatives, and we look forward to returning in the future!

Our unit had a perfect ocean view and the property was well maintained outside a beautiful landscaping. As far unit that we had it could use some renovation, the unit has a red carpet it looks it hasn’t been changed for a while. The sliding glass door was hard to open and the latch was a bit rusty and old the screen door needs to be replace we couldn’t even open and close it keeps coming off. The shower metal piece was coming off and above the ceiling inside the bathroom the fire sprinkler the piece is ready to come off. The cabinet in the bathroom is really outdated as well the counter inside the unit. One thing that really got us there was big roach skimming around inside the unit, we did try kill it but it got away from us. But what really bothers me when we arrived and tried to check we was told we didn’t have any reservation. It took a while before they found us but unfortunately we was told that our unit that we supposed to check in that someone supposed to check-in to that unit for 7 nights and it wasn’t us. It took a while before they finally realize that we are on the reservation. As far the property it’s very nice and the unit that we had a beautiful ocean view. Just the unit it need some works.

About the host

Host profile image
Our family loves to travel! It is a big part of our life as a couple and as a family. Our passion for travelling is what inspired us to get into vacation rental properties, to give others the opportunity to experience the places we love!

Why they chose this property

Collen and I honeymooned in Kauai (see images below), at the same resort as Lil' Piece of Paradise. It's absolutely gorgeous there! When our resort room became available to purchase early this year, I jumped on it. The resort and in particular the beach, which is miles and miles of uninterrupted sands and waves, is incredible! A great space to enjoy as a couple, small family, or with close friends.
