Perfect little condo perfect view. Perfect support! I just couldn’t have been better! Communication was excellent. There was even my favorite macadamia nut coffee and some chocolates waiting for us so that was a beautiful little surprise! Highly recommend - just couldn’t get a better view of the beach and the unit is very conveniently located next to Shopping so you can walk right next-door. Everything was perfect!

Gem of a Place!

The condo was just as described and looked just like the pictures online. The views were amazing! We enjoyed watching the sunrise and whale watching from the lanai. The condo was perfectly stocked with all necessities for our stay. Khaled and Jennifer go above and beyond to make your stay perfect and are very attentive and responsive! The grounds are immaculate and the Coconut Marketplace is an added bonus! We can’t wait to come back and stay again! Definitely Mahalo!

Lastly, the location was great! There were plenty of shops and restaurants ( and morning coffee to watch the sunrise) within minutes to walk to!

Never get tired of listening to the ocean waves:

This is a beautiful condo. One of the best VRBO's we have stayed in. Furnished with so many of the essentials you need for your stay. It has a comfortable bed and great shower. The view and the sound of the ocean waves can't be beat. It is within walking distance to any price restaurant and market and is located on beautiful grounds. We will hopefully be able to come back soon.

Place in Paradise

This stay exceeded our expectations by far! If you are choosing between different properties I urge you to stay here as everything is perfect, from the morning sunrises, the hot tub after a long day of adventure (as close as can be), the happy hour bar (once again, as close as can be). The location is just perfect. If we visit this island again we would definitely stay here again and just relax as we already explored the island and did all the "touristy" things during this stay. This place has it all. I had no idea this was part of a larger compound but I think that made it even more convenient, parking was plentiful (as long as you are comfortable with a tight squeeze), there is a nice restaurant oceanside bar/restaurant next door, if you want to get a lunch for your hikes or don't feel like driving to get dinner, the grocery store a few minutes walk away has everything and souvenirs if you need. You get to talk to amazing people with different stories and backgrounds in the hot tub as well. During our stay we saw some of the same people in the tub and were able to bond and share stories and give tips and helpful advice. TLDR, this place has everything if you just want to relax by the beach and do nothing, or if you were like us and took morning sunrise photos by the beach (Such a beautiful backdrop), explored the island during the day, and came back to the hot tub and bar for happy hour and relaxed while star gazing(4 shooting stars in one night). Mahalo Khaled and Heather!

The perfect condo in paradise!

We came from Maui to Kauai and the 2 properties could not have been more different. This one in Kauai was so much cleaner and updated, and the perfect size for the 2 of us! And also in the perfect location! Great pool and hot tub, it was paradise within a paradise!

Wonderful location and hosts.

From our first inquiry to check out everything was communicated and fine smoothly. The online reference to any questions about the unit were easily easily available. The location was fantastic with beautiful sunrise, by the bike/walking trail. We have stayed on Kauai many times and this location on Kapaa was a great location, unit and wonderful time. Highly recommend this location and bosts

Tranquility in Paradise

This particular condo within The Islander is the best we have ever stayed in. In fact, it was better than most 1 bedroom units we have rented elsewhere!! This unit was stocked with everything you could possibly want. The provided beach chairs were a dream for me as I have a bad back and it is difficult to sit on the sand! I would highly recommend this unit to anyone considering staying in the Kapaa area!! It is also within walking distance of shopping for supplies and fun things!

About the host

Hosted by Khaled & Heather Jafar

Host profile image
Kauai is our home away from home. We treasure the laid-back Aloha spirit of the Kauai culture, revere the spectacular wildlife of the ocean and forests, and are in constant awe of the tropical beauty of this quiet, peaceful island.

This photo of us was taken just a few feet in front of the condo, on peaceful Waipouli Beach!

Why they chose this property

There is nothing more satisfying for us than spending time on our condo's lanai taking in all the wonderful direct ocean views and listening to the relaxing sounds of the surf. Our condo is also central to both the North and South shores and minutes away from spectacular rain forest hikes, making it the ideal location for exploring all of Kauai.

What makes this property unique

We find that our favorite place to watch whales (in season) is from the comfort of our own lanai. With the ocean just steps from the lanai, there's nothing quite as soothing as falling asleep to the sound of the surf every night. Finally, the sunrises from the lanai are spectacular! Please refer to our other Kauai Islander on the Beach listing #1001239!
