There is no comparison between my home & the hotel's small 300 SF converted one room studios.

As the great reviews mention you have a complete kitchen, coffee center, filtered water, unlimited paper products, laundry soap, dryer sheets, dishwasher premium pellets, other soaps, bath gel, shampoo, conditioner, cleaning products iron & board, first aid kit, & sewing kit & more

I am always upgrading & my guests' suggestions are welcome to improve my condo, Nail polish remover, Q-tips, Cotton balls, Medicines, beach & regular umbrellas, USB Plug Ins, play pen, high chair have been some of the suggestions.

I have a 124 pack container of emergency dried foods. If one is imminent, you should get bottled water, if water is cut off.

My home's not beach front, it's 3 buildings back & a minute stroll to the 3-mile long beach & magnificent sunrises & on the 2nd floor with 10 steps, there is no elevator.,

The Nightly RATE is for 2 GUESTS.

Additional guests up to two, regardless of age are $50 a Night per guest. Histrionically I break even at $50 with the added cleaning time & double laundry time, supplies and electricity.

The $350 check out cleaning is included in your total. If staying over10 nights it includes a required short interim cleaning or cleanings & inspections in the middle or repeated if longer. There is no way to fairly include it in a nightly rate. It is separate because the longer your stay the less per night, 4 nights is $87.50 a night, 7 nights is $50, 10 nights is $35 &14 is $25 a night. I am sure you understand this.

The Cancellation Policy is 30 days for a 100% refund & 15 days 50% refund. After then 0 refund, But I will try and to re-rent it for all or part of the time. I refund what I receive.

THE $750 DEPOSIT IS NOT CHARGED WHEN YOU PAY. In the rare case of damage or theft VBRO gives me 14 days to make a claim against the deposit. In 20 years with over 400 guests I have made a claim 4 times. VBRO sells insurance $59 ($1500), $89 ($3000), $129 ($5000). If you desire to buy it let me know. It covers accidental damage, not intentional or theft.

There's an ocasional Small Partial Distant Ocean View when the trees are trimmed ^ Wyndham does so.

My home is always Impeccably Clean as mentioned in many guest reviews.

You're centrally located between Lihue & Kapaa, 7 minutes from the airport. The resort is secluded a 1/4 mile off the main highway.

I think it's nicely decorated. LOL. I remodeled it. Do you remember know of Ricky Nelson (he's an old pop star & TV actor) & his Song Garden Party? "You can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself." You Get a Box of Chocolates if you mention you read this.

Your home has Imported Tile, Carpeting, Solid Varnished Mahogany Doors, Real Wood Cabinets, Granite Counters, Great Kitchen, All the stuff listed above, Sailing & Other Art, Artificial Flowers & Plants.

On occasion I get 4 stars 16 times in 22 years.. Some say my decors is s dated. Heck, I knew I was dated years ago when a friend's daughter came home & said, LOL " Dad did you know Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings! You get a Bag of Coffee if you mention you read this.

I leave no clothes, all closets & dresser drawers are empty, this question comes up.

Kauai Beach Villas is 1 of the most exclusive & secluded Oceanfront Resorts on Kauai. Entered through a 1/4-mile tree tunnel lined drive. The 3-mile-long beach goes along the public golf course ending at famous Lydgate Park.

The salon has a Ceiling fan, Air Conditioner, Queen Sofa Bed, Chair & Ottoman & TV Cabinet with books & some games, 58" Smart Roku TV & Bluetooth Sound Bar & air purifier.

Your bedroom has a 30" Flat Screen LED HD TV with HD Cable and side speakers. Stereo System. remote ceiling fan, remote air conditioner, air purifier, king firm bed with a memory foam topper. You sleep in Bamboo Sheets, 2 king pillows, blankets & comforter & art.

I cook & bake. My gourmet kitchen is equipped better than most homes. Reverse Osmosis 3 Filter Water at the sink. Refrigerator & ice maker has filter. Pots & pans, baking pans, fine china, glasses, crystal stemware, wine glasses & champagne flutes, silverware, 2 knife sets & lots of utensils. Appliances include all mentioned above & a blender, hand mixer, 2 food processors (Small & Large). 2 coffee makers (8 & 5 cup), coffee bean burr mill grinder, 4 slice toaster, George Foreman Grill, electric skillet, slow cooker, waffle maker, popcorn maker, electric & hand can openers, rice cooker, steamer, wine opener, utensils, bowls, & storage containers.

There are 4 cushioned chairs & dining table. The granite counter top bar has 2 bar stools.

The medium size bath has a full tub with floral doors, tall people raised shower head, floral brass sliding doors. Lots of bath, hand towels & wash cloths & bamboo bath towels, hair dryer. Medicines include headache, diarrhea, antacid, petroleum jelly, denture cleaner, cotton balls, Q-tips, nail polish remover, body lotion, peroxide, 70% alcohol,

Between the bath & bedroom is a 3-light vanity/desk area, full-length wall & large hair & makeup mirror.

With the bath, bedroom desk & mirror & vanity area 3 guests can get ready easily.

The desk has a supplies, stapler, scotch tape, pens, paper. An Armoire has 2 drawers, spare towels, hanging closet, hangers, blankets & beach towels.

There's NO regular telephone 99% of people have cell phones & that saves $15 a week

Magnificent morning sunrises are a 1 minute walk, the picture you see is one of hundreds I've taken. The colors are as lovely as they can get, I go every morning with a beach chair, coffee thermos & beach umbrella when it rains. A sunrise breakfast picnic at the beach.

The resort landscaping is beautiful with ponds, waterfalls, fountains, flowers & foliage.

Mid December to Early January is $10 a night more.

If renting over10 nights I provide a required interim cleanings. A short straighten up, change linens, clean kitchen & bath if needed for 2 hours It is done mid stay 10/12 nights on the 5th/6th day, 13/14 on the 6/7th day. Longer stays repeat that. This protects my home & ensures quality for the next guest. If determined, you are not maintaining my home & they need more time or need to come back for additional time your deposit is charged This is rare, 95% of my guests are great. but its happens.

A Motocross racetrack at the end of the golf course and sometimes makes noise on weekends & holidays. Hours are Sat, Sun & Holidays 10 am to 6 pm. A schedule can be Googled, Kauai Motocross. Labor Day weekend has 2 days of racing.

Nice Place and centralized
The unit is only a short drive to the airport and made it nice being centralized to the attractions on the Island. Great communications with owner. Very clean unit. Kitchen is very well equipped, resort pools and hot tubs very nice, nice being remote from towns made for easy parking at the condo, very nice landscaping and taken care of. The only negative items I had is the room is over a 3 minute walk to the beach,, the couch is very uncomfortable, and the beach itself. The beach at the ocean is not clean, you can not swim or snorkel in the ocean at that location and if you walk heading north on the beach there are a few homeless people living there.

Good area, concerning stay.
I’ll say this, the neighborhood was nice and close to a beautiful beach (although I wouldn’t recommend the beach for younger children) and overall the description was very accurate and thorough. However, some problems I had were that the sink was broken when I got there and it sprayed water out the side the entire time, I couldn’t use the sink without having to wipe everything down after. Also, packages would not go to this address no matter what I did - I was staying for about a month and no packages even with excessive correspondence with the companies ( I tried re-sending it with one company over 4 times and just ended up sending it back home due to the hassle) items would just stay “out for delivery” for days and never get delivered even with directly copy and pasting the address over. Truly though my main problem with this Vrbo is the private investigator (who works with the Kauai Chief of Police) that REPEATEDLY came to the building to question and harass me over the owners whereabouts, information and my relation to him - I winded up leaving a week early because I was not comfortable with this - I informed the owner of the issue and sent him the investigators information which he did nothing with, and a day later the investigator was back with more questions. Overall I could live with a broken sink but I refuse to be pulled into any legal matters the owner has, I appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer but I would not stay here again.

Wow! On our first visit to Kauai we hit the jackpot! This property was exactly as described in every detail. Everything we needed was provided. Mounque was very responsive and helpful, and he obviously cares very much that we had a great experience. The location was fabulous as it is centrally located, giving easy access to all areas of the island while being close to grocery shopping and other needs. The resort is well kept and has wonderful amenities. This will be our go-to property every time we come to Kauai, which after experiencing it, will be often!

This is a spacious and immaculate condo in an excellent location. Comfortable bed, well furnished kitchen. The owner is clearly very proud of their property and has gone to great lengths to make it welcoming. The condo complex is part of a larger resort and renters have access to pool and other facilities. We enjoyed ourselves very much, thanks Mounque!

Mounque's place was perfectly located for us. We were able to see sites from all over the island. We also arrived late in the evening so being close to the airport was a bonus. My husband is a chef and the kitchen is one of the best outfitted we have experienced. We were able to walk every day around the property and beach.

A wonderful stay
Every aspect of our stay was just as we would have expected. Mounque definitely has his 'ducks in a row' concerning every aspect of this condo rental. This includes communication via the VRBO website, the check-in process, stocking the condo with recreational equipment (coolers, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, etc), stocking the kitchen with almost every conceivable item (dishes, silverware, high quality pots and pans, cooking utensils, an unopened bag of coffee, a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, packets of a huge variety of condiments, etc.), laundry equipment including laundry supplies, baby equipment including a pack and play, a high chair, et. al. We would, without a second thought, stay with Mounque in the future. Thank you Mounque for a delightful stay in your condo.

Amazing Location, Amenities, Communication,Affordability !!
My friend and I booked last minute flights October 24-31 to Kauai, 3 weeks before departure to be exact. I mean, who can pass up a 50% off Southwest sale....$161 RT non stop flights from San Jose to Lihue right?! That was the easy part....the hard part was finding an affordable Condo in a Central Location. Luckily, I finally came across Mounque's listing in Kapaa at the Kauai Beach Villas. Not only is Mounque's place AFFORDABLE but his attention to EVERY single detail in his listing was outstanding and accurate!! His communications were thorough, prompt and helpful to say the least!! The condo is centrally located so we were able to get to all parts of the island with ease which avoided us from being trapped in a car driving for hours each day. We also loved how Mounque's place is FULLY stocked with your every need and how clean it was! Oh my gosh, and the Cariloha Bamboo Sheets were a dream to sleep on...so much that my friend and I are going bite the bullet and purchase them!! Besides all of the reasons above, one major factor I will definitely stay at Mounque's place again was he includes the daily parking fee and wrist bands to access all pools etc..at the Outrigger Kauai Beach Resort and Spa which was AMAZING and a 3 minute walk to get there from the condo. The pool and spa at the condo was right out the door and around the corner which was super nice as well. We loved our stay and I hope after reading this you decide to stay at Mounque's as well!

We loved it !
What a great time we had! My husband and I stayed at Mounque's place and it was perfect. We visited the pool and hot tub almost every late afternoon after tiring ourselves out discovering Kauai all day. The condo is perfectly located so the north and south shores ends were never too far. The fully loaded bathroom cabinet was super convenient we didn't have to run out and buy anything, as was the washer/dryer (which allowed us to pack light) His kitchen also had everything we need and more to make meals. Lastly, I'd like to mention his self authored Kauai "handbook" The tips and resultant suggestion were priceless. would 100% stay there again!! (PS- the bed was a dream to sleep on)

Fabulous Place!!
My husband and I were on Kauai for a staycation and a little business. Mont, the host, is great! Communication was great, the condo has everything you need and the vibe is more like being in a neighborhood as opposed to a "resort" yet, you have the ability to enjoy Kauai Beach Resort facilities. Being we're local, the condo was exactly what we needed and we will be back probably sooner than later! I would like make sure guests are aware the every food and beverage outlet at Kauai Beach Resort includes an 18% tip on the check. Be sure to look at your check because some servers/bartenders will tell you, others won't. I'm a service industry professional and we stayed at KBR last year and the tip was not included, I was shocked at this change and as much as I understand it, I, personally, don't agree with it. KBR if someone is reading this, you have just taken away the incentive for good service, not to mention if this is a policy you intend to keep, all checks should reflect the 18% in a different color ink and your staff should be required to verbally tell the guest the tip is included.

Home away from home
It was lovely to stay at Monks condo during our week trip to Kauai. We really needed two bed areas, a full proper kitchen, and our daughter had been promised a very nice pool this vacation. You couldn't top the pool system! Waterfalls, pools that go from 3' to 6', all-3' pools that parents can see from one of the hot tubs, a waterslide, and a toddler pool that connects to the deeper pool, along with many romantic nooks, I would say this is the best pool system on Kauai. The condo was better supplied than any condo we have used before, and he has a full description so you know what to expect. It has a washer dryer in the unit, and a balcony, so you can dry your swimsuits. Bring more than one, if you plan to go to the pool twice at day like we did. They had flippers and goggles and things if you use those. The location is great. It doesn't have an ocean view, and it's important to read the description about the track next door, but you can hear the ocean at night and we found it to be peaceful and quiet. It's a very central location if you need to go to both the north shore and the poipu area during your trip. The grounds are very beautiful and there is a lovely tree tunnel on the driveway to the resort. We asked for unscented laundry detergent and they went out of their way to do that for us. It was extremely considerate of them because they usually use a lot of scents, and most people like that, but we are sensitive to scents. I'm so glad this condo was available!

Peaceful Perfect Central location
We loved our time in Kauai and would absolutely consider staying at Mounque's place at the Kauai Beach Villas again! It was peaceful, serene and very comfortable. The central location on the East coast of Kauai made our daily excursions to various parts of the island easily accessible and so convenient. We occasionally used the jacuzzi at the beach-front resort adjacent to the Villas, but soon realized that we made a better choice to stay at the Villas for the peace and serenity it had to offer. When planning our vacation we initially wanted to book a beach front, ocean-view property but we soon realized that wasn't necessary since much of our time was spent on daily excursions visiting various parts of the island. We were content at Monk's place which is a short 5 minute walk to the ocean, which, by the way, is the perfect spot to experience breathtaking views of the sunrise on Kauai's east coast! We are glad that we chose Monk's place over a hotel because we felt right at home with all the conveniences of a kitchen, full size refrigerator, washer and dryer, a comfortable living room and access to any toiletries in his medicine cabinet. Who could ask for anything more? We went to Kalaheo Cafe & Company for breakfast one morning based on Monk's recommendation and it was soo worth it. We appreciated how responsive and accommodating Mounque and his housekeeper Jennifer were and would highly recommend his place to anyone searching for a peaceful place to stay.

Very nice Condo in a great location
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The property was perfect connected to a larger resort with all the amenities. We were just a couple of minutes walk to the beach and were able to enjoy the sunrise many mornings. The Condo was exactly what we needed. Its not a Luxury property but it is very nicely done with lots of little extras included. When I needed anything, which was almost nothing, the owner was fast to respond and communication couldn't have been better. We loved our stay and will come back on a future visit to this amazing island.

About the host

Host profile image
Aloha! I'm 74 years young & still to work a lot. I'm a consultant, machine & tools inventor for Geosynthetic's used worldwide. My small manufacturing company burned to the ground in a California wildfire in 2018. It took a year to get restarted. I consult at many construction projects & teach courses on installation so I am gone a lot. In 2019 I was one of 3 people inducted into the Pavement Magazines Hall of Fame. My small shop is in Northern CA & most of my employees have worked for me between 20 & 40 years. I don't think of moving to where it costs less, my US people deserve to keep their jobs. I use all US suppliers. I'm still sail & play softball. Formerly on pro sailing teams & was support staff for Team Dennis Conner, Stars & Stripes Americas Cup Teams in 1992 &1995. For 30 years I was a well know sports trainer & therapist, my 2nd job. I did this during the Americas Cups & for other professional teams. I retired after a bad car accident in 2005 & some back & other surgeries over a couple years. I worked hard at my recovery designing my rehab. The doctors say I can do things that I should not be able to do! I regained my less than a body of a Greek God & have returned to my active work life, sailing & softball. Many ball players call me the white haired old guy (ringer) you do not pitch to with men on base. Winning is in the mind! I believe that if I climb a tree, my natural instincts will take me out on the limb, I just know that if the limb breaks the tree will fall and the limb stay in the air! My condo represents me I live there. I try to give you more & not less. I want your stay to be a true winning experience. Decorating is in my taste and many Americas Cup art and other. The kitchen is complete and many say better then their homes. I cook and bake so I have and leave over 20 seasonings, all my appliances and posts and pans and utensils.

Why they chose this property

It is simply it is the best resort and location on the island. I have been coming to Kauai since the 70's. This resort was built in 1980 & the hotel in 1984. They choose the best central location on the island. It is convenient to everything. 30 minutes to North and Princeville & South & Poipu & 45 minutes to the west side or far north. It is 5 to 10 minutes either way between the 2 biggest cities Lihue & Kapaa. Yet is very secluded & off the highway a half mile. It is on a 3 mile long secluded beach that runs along the golf course & ends at Lydgate Park. it's is close to the airport for arriving & leaving on a two lane highway. The best shopping for groceries & restaurants are in Lihue & Kapaa. The resort grounds are beautiful & well maintained, the hotel has excellent food buffets, good bar & good pool bar & restaurant, you can use their pools & waterslide with pink wrist bands in my home, but you can not use their tiny gym. The condos have a nice pool & Jacuzzi 1 minute away & just redone. . There are tennis courts & many BBQ's. Nothing on the island matches it. It is 3 minutes to the famous public golf course. 5 minutes by car & 45 minutes walk to famous Lydgate Park. It is best on the island & with a safe rock walled in swimming & snorkeling lagoon. The sunrises are unparalleled. Arriving & departing at the airport is 6 minutes away on a two lane highway. No driving 30 minutes on a one lane road to get to your condo north or south. You do not have to leave 4 hours a head of departure to make sure your not caught in a car accident traffic jam on the one lane road or a storm tree fallen & miss your flight. I have stayed North & South & in between & there is no place like this on the island. It took me 11 years to finally get one of these in 2001 after owning others on the North & South. I could have bought anywhere, but why settle for something less than this for my home when I am not traveling.

What makes this property unique

This is my private home & not just a rental. You get to use all my stuff. I keep no clothes there all closets, drawers are for your use. Please read the 230 + (last update) average 4.9 star ratings they say it all. Great well stocked kitchen (I cook), all my condiments & other kitchen items. it is a 1 bedroom with 2 air conditioners & two ceiling fans & may be the only one on the island with 2 of each. I use & you use my high thread count sheets, lots of towels, my rolling cooler & a 28 QT large one, beach towels, umbrellas & beach chairs. My household items are yours to use & fully stocked, laundry soap, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body gel, first aid kit, sewing kit, hair dryer, washer & dryer, paper towels, toilet paper & much more. I leave all of it for your use. That saves you money. I even have a play pen & a high chair for those with a toddler. I live here & work from here so there is Super High Speed 200 MB secured internet with WIFI or with 25 foot Ethernet cable. Regular cable TV has over 100 channels. 2 flat screen TV's, living & bedroom & also 2 stereos. The sofa bed will sleep 2 & has a comfortable 6" Sealy mattress. The king bed has a 3 inch memory foam mattress topper that can be removed for those who want a firmer bed. Mirrors Galore. In front of the bedroom closet & washer/dryer are bi-folding mirrored doors. The bedroom has a desk, chair & mirror, between the bedroom & bathroom is a separated work & vanity area with a desk, chair three vanity lights, a long wall mirror above the desk & a large full length wall mirror. The vanity area has a large armoire with closet & 3 drawers. My old experience has taught me when there are multiple women (teens included) going out they all need to do get ready at the same time. This way their makeup, hair, nails & so on can be done sitting down while someone else is in the bathroom (GUYS FINALLY). I use the mirrors in the morning to look at myself & get my first really good laugh for the day.
