Perfect getaway
This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at Islander on the beach in the Hawaii building. It has a view of the water but not direct on the boardwalk so it’s much more private. Being on the 3rd floor you can leave the slider door open and hear the ocean. This unit was great with having the extra table holding the microwave it gave you more counter space by the sink. The refrigerator was big enough to hold our snacking foods but we ate dinners out. We didn’t use the bbq’s near the pool. Safeway is only a mile north and the shaved ice next to ABC store uses natural fruits instead of artificial. we don’t recommend the store Big Savings it was actually more expensive. Coconut marketplace is right behind you and has lots of great shopping options. This unit doesn’t have beach chairs but there is a rental place next to Sleeping giant grill (great food) that rents chairs and other great beach stuff. The beach wasn’t great for swimming but 1 mile south is Lydgate beach and it’s awesome. We did a day trip up to Waimea canyon. Go early (left at 7:30am) to get up there before clouds come in. We did the tubing with Kauai Backcountry and loved it. Overall I highly recommend this condo. Bed was comfortable and it was very clean. The units are older so just expect some wear and tear.
