Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Kapaa Shores
Decent condo - needed some upgrading. Had a nice view off the upstairs master bedroom, which was an open loft bedroom. Best for a party of 2, even though there was a downstairs bedroom (no privacy for people in master bedroom).
Limited beach access close by. Had to climb to third floor (no elevator).

aloha and mahalo for responding to Flip Key. All of the 2 bedrooms are on the 3rd floor w/unfortunately no elevators :(...soon to come is a walking/bike bath right by Kapaa Shore extending all the way to Anahola and to Lydgate Beach to the south for easy beach access....this will surely be a great addition!

The best location -:- Kapaa Shores
Best location on the island
Things we liked the best: 1) The location of the Kapaa Shores with respect to the island. Centrally located. In other words it was between the north and south shores where we enjoyed most of our actvities. Shopping area was directly across the highway. 2) Service received from Garden Isle Properties was prompt and responsive. 3) We liked having high speed internet access available in the unit and also the use of a washer and dryer. 4) Price was reasonable
5) Units looked out over the ocean which gave the complex a very open but private setting. 6) The ocean walk. Walked along ocean to Donkey Beach every morning.
Things we least liked: 1)On the down side the unit was a little worn and could have used a thorough cleaning before we arrived at the unit. 2) The living room furniture was very uncomfortable.

Nice place right on the ocean
We had a great vacation stay at this condo. It is a roomy 2-bedroom with all of the amenities and a fully stocked kitchen. We also enjoyed use of the pool and communal barbecue grill. The location is convenient, right in town and across the street from Safeway and Long's Drugs. When we couldn't find the carafe for our coffee maker, Sue from Garden Islands was available to help -- at 7:30 in the morning on a Sunday! The staff of the timeshare company that runs the majority of units at the complex was also friendly and helpful. The unit is currently for sale, and the owner (who lives in Canada) has fallen a bit behind on routine maintenance and upgrading. Nothing serious, but it might be nice if the livingroom sofa was upgraded (it's uncomfortable) and there was better lighting for reading. Trivial maintenance issues, but overall a nice condo in a great location.

Thank you for your great comments on Flip Key! We have added large cushions to the couch to make it more comfy! Mahalo for the suggestion!
May, 2010 update: We are happy to report that the new owners of Kapaa Shore 308 have read your recommendation and replaced the couch with a brand new sofa/sleeper as well as many other upgrades! Please check out our new photos!

koolmom -:- Colorado
Great view, condo needs updating.
The check in process was smooth and we found our condo easily. We were
delighted with the view from the lani of the ocean and swaying palms.
There was a brisk breeze from the ocean every day from the trade winds
which cooled the condo to a nice temperature.
The location is right next to the Highway in the middle of Kapaa but since
the condo is on the opposite side of the building from the highway we never
heard traffic noise. There was a pool and tennis courts available but we
never used them. The beach at the condo is not suitable for swimming
because of rocks but it is pleasant for resting on provided lawn chairs in the
evening or enjoying the sunrise. You can walk to a nearby beach for a stroll
by walking through a small neighborhood of beach homes.
As far as the condo we thought it was clean and neat but needs updating.
Some paint is peeling and the fixtures were dated looking. We appreciated
the tile floors on the main living floor. The master bedroom closet wouldn't
open or close. One bed was noisy because of a plastic mattress cover. I
didn't find that out from my 15 year old until it was time to leave or I would
have taken that off. One child slept on the futon in the living room/kitchen
area which was fine but we couldn't watch the "larger" TV in the evening
after he was in bed. There was a small TV in the small bedroom (1 full and
1 twin) and a small TV in the loft where the master bedroom was. The king
sized bed was nice. The master bedroom was in an open loft so the TV
upstairs was easily heard by the sleeping child downstairs.
We especially appreciated the washer and dryer being in the condo. The
toaster was not great and there was a limited amount of dishes for 5 of us.
Had to provide own bathroom hand soap. We couldn't all sit in the kitchen
area with two stools at the counter and two chairs at the little breakfast
table which is a minor problem for breakfast.
Loved the use of a cooler, boogie boards, sno

Too Many Surprises
The location was very convenient for shopping and getting around the island. However, there were too many surprises. I realize it is difficult to keep everything in perfect working order in a rental, but the fact that the Kapaa Shore development was in the midst of a major maintenance project was never mentioned in any of my pre rental inquiries. Based on discussions we had with some of the crew, this has been ongoing since last winter. Most of the time this was just a nuisance, but at times it was more troublesome and noisy. In addition, there were several little issues (stove burners that didn't work, broken toaster, inadequate ceiling fans, windows that couldn't be opened , etc.) that need to be addressed before I could recommend this as a vacation rental.
Liked best: Location (grocery shopping and beach and trail access).
Liked least: Overall condition and major exterior maintenance project.

Mahalo for taking the time to send a review. We are sorry about the outside work on the building during your stay. It has been very difficult to project where on the property they will be working; they have been moving from one building to another; so we are never sure where they will be working from week to week. :( We do apologize for any inconvenience. Had we known during your stay, we would have been more than happy to address your concerns and relocate you. We are addressing your maintennace issues and again thank you for taking the time to let us know! aloha, Garden Island Properties Staff

Fun in the Sun
Let me get the negative out of the way immediately so I can get on to the good stuff:
1. The couch in the living room is terribly uncomfortable.
2. The agent who handles the bookings and problems was VERY slow to respond to calls/voice mails.
Now for the good stuff... we will continue to come back to this spot any time we're in Kauai'i. The condo came packed full of amenities - pool, lounge chairs, deck with deck furniture, all kinds of beach fun (noodles, beach balls, mats, snorkel stuff, ice chests), books, movies, dishes - all great!!! The location on the island is IDEAL. Centralized so it's not too far to either end of the island - great restaurants and grocery shopping a walk away, and the ocean is literally right off the back of the condo. Highly recommended! Thanks for making this condo available for us!!!

Sun Seeker -:- Vancouver, BC
Unit neglected, in need of repairs
Great location, just steps from the ocean facing east. Wonderful sunrises and great vistas.
Kauai is a quieter island, so I think many people would go with the intention of spending a lot of time on R & R. With such a great view, many would book the accommodations with the idea of spending many hours just taking in the view itself, but the unit needs some attention before I would classify it as desirable. There is only one comfortable chair on the balcony--the rest are plastic. The livingroom furniture is not at all comfortable--no matter how many throw cushions you add. The TV is small so the speakers don't allow you to enjoy any movies. We spent most of our time asking one another 'did you catch what was just said' ever few minutes. Although it was advertised as 'able to fit 4 on the balcony for a meal', only two wine glasses and 2 regular glasses were provided. Kitchen also needs some regular pots and pans with lid--hard to cook an entire meal with one pot with a lid. Shower door fell off twice while having a shower, narrowly missing someone's foot. Baseboard in downstairs room fell off when the door was closed. Rattan furniture in same room filthy, as were the bathroom fans. No dresser for clothes in downstairs bedroom. Paint peeling on the ceilings. In the rental agreement we were asked to sign, it clearly said we were to close & lock all windows and doors when leaving the unit, yet the sliding door lock was completely rusted out. The security system is to put a wooden dowling in the track. All the stuff stored in the main living area under the stairs makes it look junky, and obviously wasn't cleaned well as I found an opened bag of candies in behind the TV in amongst the dust balls. Floor also wasn't washed well, as my white socks were black within a few minutes. TV remote didn't work --opening up the back, the batteries were coroded so we had to clean it up and replace them. Door to stacking washer/dryer wouldn't open. All round, disappointing.

Felt like home
The property is very elegant and comfortable. It has an amazing view of the ocean from the balcony. Bikers path, health food store, yoga studio, great restaurants and much more are right there under your fingertips. Located in the heart of Kapaa but it feels quiet and privet. The condo has everything you need and beyond that. It felt just like home. Great management and service! Thank you.

good
water heater in unit was finally replaced but job not totally completed by installer...left msg at office on 1 Mar 2011 regarding this. Compensation should be to renters as had this problem continued water would have leaked into the lower level unit (208). It was awful to get cold water in the middle of a shower. Immediate attention is needed when it comes to water and the damage it may cause!
Broom in unit should be in garbage (bad condition). No check out instructions found in unit...probably wise to have those like other rentals/time share units!
