Plantation Hale J8, Garden View, Ground Floor

Great stay! We enjoyed every moment of it. The unit is very clean and comfortable. There are 2 a/c units ( in the living room and the bedroom). The kitchen has everything you need. We really enjoyed the nespresso machine. You can purchase extra pods in any grocery store. Safeway was the closest. The swimming pool is just behind the building and the beach literally across the street. The location of the unit is fantastic! Some great restaurants are just withing walking distance as well as a little plaza with shops and little cafes. No parking issues or any other issues really. Every day was a great day! Definitely will stay here again!

Beau condo avec plage juste à côté. Nous avons trouvé l'endroit très propre et relaxant pour nos vacances. Il y avait l'air climatisé dans la salle principale et dans la chambre ce qui est un plus. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. Parfait pour ce que nous recherchions. Mahalo! :)

Manager's Response

Kanani’s place looks just as described in the pictures! Location was great- we could get to the north or south side of the island easily! We also appreciated all of the beach gear. Very close to lots of food options. Host was quick to respond to my question when I was unsure where the beach towels were located. Would happily stay again!

Manager's Response

Great condo, updated appliances and clean. Close to Coconut Market shops. It was perfect for me.

Manager's Response

The condo was perfect for all of our needs while on the island.
My husband and I loved having everything we needed to enjoy the beach, cook our meals and relax.

Manager's Response

Very Professional.

Manager's Response

We loved our stay here! It was in such a nice spot with the coconut marketplace less than a 2 minute walk with so many great spots to eat! We felt very safe here and Kanani was very responsive to any questions we had!! We loved having access to the grills! The beach that is right in front of the condo is nice for walking but not for swimming! We fit 4 people in here comfortably (2 in the room, 2 on the pullout in the living room), we knew we wouldn’t spend too much time in the Airbnb because we were so busy exploring every day!! We absolutely loved Kauai and this place.

Manager's Response

We loved our stay at Kanani’s place. It was easy to find. There were plenty of parking spaces available all day. The check in process was easy. The place was updated and very clean. The beach chairs/ umbrella/ cooler were a great amenity. It was walkable to the coconut marketplace and to the beach. Would recommend this place to anyone staying in Kapa’a, that are looking for a more calming vacation. Thanks for having us! We will recommend it to our friends and family.

Manager's Response

The place was lovely with a wonderful private path to the beach. You can hear the neighbors upstairs walking around, but that is just a characteristic of the building. we would start here again.

Manager's Response

The condo is exactly as described online. It is located in a great spot within the condo property. We often got to park our car directly out the front door of our condo. It is a corner unit and is right by one of the pools. Pools were clean - didn’t use hot tub or laundry room. The kitchen is beautiful and fully equipped with anything you may need. Beach chairs & ice chest was a nice amenity - and nice beach towels. The king bed is comfy and all the furniture is really nice. Check-in was so easy and we loved having a door key pad so there was no key to keep up with. The Coconut Marketplace was a five minute walk from condo - the ABC Store had a good selection of snacks and grab and go meals, as well as a good menu of hot meals as well. The beach is a quick five minute walk across the street. It’s a nice, rustic beach with some shade trees along the banks. We spent a good deal of time walking the trail and beach in that area. You will be pleased with this place - a great value.

Manager's Response

We stayed here for a week and thought the space was convenient, as-described, and centrally located on Kauai. The bed was incredibly comfortable - we slept great! It was convenient to have the kitchen, which had plenty of supplies. The location is also good - a short walk to the beach or nearby shops and restaurants, and a quick 10-30 min drive to most spots on the island. We had a few questions for the hosts and they were always prompt and helpful in their responses. Overall, a good experience!

Manager's Response

This was the perfect home base for exploring all of Kauai! It was comfortable, clean, stylish, and in a great location. We loved being within walking distance of Coconut Marketplace, and we were central to everything we wanted to do on this island. We would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed this condo. Very clean, nice location, comfortable space.

Manager's Response

We had a very nice stay at the Plantation Hale! The unit was clean and included beach amenities as well as yoga mats. The location is well situated between the North and South shores so it's great if you're planning to explore a lot of the island. There are a number of restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby making it easy to get food and supplies. The on property pools were nice and were rarely busy.

Manager's Response

Our stay was wonderful. We appreciated the cleanliness of the condo and the staff in your office who where more then helpful.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed our stay here! Very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Great location only a few minutes down the road from Safeway.

Manager's Response

Such a beautiful airbnb. Loved the aesthetic so much. I appreciated the complimentary coffee and my two toddlers really enjoyed the swing. Loved how well the rooms and kitchen were stocked. Will definitely stay again

Manager's Response

We had a GREAT stay! Kanani and her assistant, Sarah, were very friendly and responsive. The condo was clean and fairly modern. It contained everything we needed, including an iron and ironing board, beach towels, yoga mats, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, an ice chest, and all appliances we needed. The location was impeccable! We walked to the Coconut Marketplace several times and strolled along the beach just across the street. It's also very close to the airport, the Nepali Coast, Poipu, and plenty of shops and restaurants. The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable. There was a bit of a musty smell whenever you walked into the unit but it went away after a couple minutes and we didn't notice it. The place is very clean so it's probably dampness from the weather. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kanani's place and would highly recommend to others! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Manager's Response

I had a wonderful stay at this property. Perfectly walkable to the coconut marketplace for basic provisions and souvenirs. Comfy bed, Loved the robes provided. The kitchen had everything you could need. Gorgeous sunrises just steps from my lanai. I will absolutely book this unit again on my next trip to Kauai. Mahalo!

Manager's Response

Tolle Unterkunft, welche komplett den Fotos entsprach. Grossartige Dekoration, zauberhafte Bettwäsche. Bei Fragen stand sie jeder Zeit unterstützend zur Seite - herzlichen Dank.

Manager's Response

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The location was central to both sides of the island. We didn’t spend time at the nearby beach but we did visit a nearby beach that was family-friendlier. We enjoyed walking to the nearby shopping center and the farmer’s market.

Manager's Response

Wonderful

Manager's Response

very pleasant stay, no complaints, would definitely recommend.

Manager's Response

Place was amazing! Super clean and great locations. Responsive host always checking up!

Manager's Response

This place was incredible for our first time on the island. A very comfortable king bed with air conditioning in the bedroom made for a perfect reprieve from all of the outdoor adventuring we did during the day. The location was incredibly convenient to get to everywhere we needed to go within an hour, especially for busy days that started early and ended late. One of the biggest perks of the unit was the chairs, umbrella, and cooler that allowed us to settle in and enjoy every beach that caught our eye. 10/10 would recommend, especially with a host as responsive and friendly as Kanani! We will forever be wishing we were back on Kauai starting every beautiful day in this spot.

Manager's Response

We had a great stay in Kauai! Kanani’s place worked out well for us. It’s a good central location if you are planning to visit both sides of the island. We appreciated the beach towels, chairs, ice chest, etc. We weren’t traveling with children, but there were also sand toys and a boogie board available to take to the beach. We were three adults and we fit well. We appreciated being able to walk to the nearby market and also to the beach. Thanks for a great stay!

Manager's Response

Pros: close to airport, close to beach, clean condo, had all kitchen utensils needed.
Cons: lots of homeless campers on nearby beach, bedroom smelled bad upon arrival, and until we put in air freshener.

We enjoyed our time in unit J8. It is well maintained with a cozy feel. There is a nice laundry room in the building also. The location is centrally located and made it easy to go north or south in a short amount of time. The only challenge was the “beach” across the road. It is not a nice beach at all. More like an impassable lava field preventing access to the ocean. Many homeless tents there also. Not a deal breaker, because of the numerous nice beaches near by. There is also a very nice shopping area within walking distance.

Manager's Response

My wife and I chose to stay here for our "babymoon" and we were not disappointed with that decision. We wanted somewhere that felt like home to come back to after a long day of beach going, hiking, exploring, etc and this was exactly that. It's tough to decide what was the best part - the location or the place itself.

The location was perfect for exploring the whole island - nothing is more than an hour away and for the most part everything we wanted was within a 20-40min drive. The ability to walk onto the beach was amazing as well - we took advantage of that every sunny morning we had to enjoy the sunrise.

The place itself was well decorated and had everything we needed. Be sure to go to the room and look in all the cabinets before you go to the store - they likely have many things you think you may need.

Would definitely stay again.

Manager's Response

My fiancé and I stayed here for 4 days and had the best time. This Airbnb is beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. It’s also equipped with beach necessities which was a nice touch. It was a short walk away from a small beach nearby which was the perfect spot to watch the sunrise. We also saw a sleeping Hawaiian monk seal on the shore! Easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacies. Would definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

Great stay!

Manager's Response

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. It was such a great location. It was walking distance from shopping, restaurants, and a beautiful beach. We were able to explore the island within a short drive. The house was adorable and very comfortable for the two of us! The bed was comfortable and there was lots of parking near the room!

Manager's Response

AMAZING!!! Cannot say it enough, this entire place is stellar! There are beach accessories to make the trip that much easier and the comfortable atmosphere of the room is simply a dream come true. Cool artwork, great coffee and plenty of space to roam around. Its just a perfect base of operations for your Kauai trip. Easy check in/ out and so much more. he entire place looks and feels amazing. Cannot wait to come back to the island again, and will 100% stay here for the trip! THANK YOU!

Manager's Response

This place was very clean and convenient! Check in was very simple, and we were pleasantly surprised by the size and style! The location was great and near a little shopping area. The easy access to the beach was also a pleasant surprise. We would happily stay here again!

Manager's Response

We loved staying in Kapa'a at this listing! Easy walk to Lava Lava Beach Club, farmers market on Tues and Thurs at the Coconut Marketplace, and $1.50/day snorkle rentals at Boss Frogs. Great central location to get around the island, the accommodation is every bit as cute in person as it is in the pictures. Would happily stay here again!

Manager's Response

Lovely time at Kauai in a very good apartment with a great kitchen and nice little books of the surroundings.

Manager's Response

My husband and I loved staying here for our honeymoon. It was quiet and we loved how updated the unit was. The beach was less than a 5 minute walk and any type of food is within walking distance! We would definitely stay here again.

Manager's Response

This place was perfectly located about 1 block from the beach, the PLANTATION PLAZA and a market. It had access to all the amenities [hot tub, pool, beach, shops]. The inside was beautiful and well kept. Easy check in and check out. Only disconnect was changing some business between Property Management and the billing side [since we were forced to change our plans related to arrival date, due to torrential winds]

Manager's Response

Well priced. Super clean, minutes to the beach. Would stay again. Thanks

Manager's Response

Unit J8 is a very quiet place. There is no garden view as it abuts a street, but it is quiet in spite of this. The memory foam bed is very comfortable. The furniture in the living space is very uncomfortable. The hide a bed is past it's prime an should be replaced. The provided beach chairs and umbrella were a nice addition. The pool area was nice and private. All in all a nice place but definitely not a beach resort. As long as you understand that it is a decent place to stay. Convenient to Kapaa shopping and the Coconut Marketplace.

Manager's Response

The unit we had at Plantation Hale was perfect. I wish we chose to stay there longer! Super clean, enough space to make it feel like home, great kitchen to make some meals rather than eating out. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Manager's Response

We loved the stay at the apartment. Fully equipped kitchen and freshly renovated.

Manager's Response

This condo was recently renovated and is lovely! Loved staying here--Kapaa is a great jumping off point for the north and south sides of the islands if you feel like adventure. There are a lot of great beaches and local shops close to the condo. While it doesn't have a beach view (you face the street and a containment wall right outside), the beach is just a short walk away. The concierge was helpful and kind when we needed them, and the grounds and condo were very clean. This is a great budget friendly place to save money and cook your own meals while still being clean and comfortable.

Manager's Response

My first impression of this condo was how clean and tidy and tastefully decorated it was. Having recently been beautifully remodeled and updated, it was a pleasure staying here. It was fully stocked with everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable! The location is very convenient with various shopping and eateries within walking distance and the beach is also only a short walk away. Everyone from the front desk to the groundskeeper to the property manager were friendly, courteous and helpful. We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay in this condo and would recommend it highly!

The unit J8 at Plantation Hale was nice and clean and in a good location. The condo had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

Manager's Response

My boyfriend and I have been nomading while working remotely, and this was the perfect stay for our 2.5 month stint in Kauai. It was one of the few places we found that had two distinct places to work (a desk in the bedroom and the breakfast table in the living room). The sound didn't travel between the rooms, so if you have a party of two working remotely, you'll be just fine. The wifi was excellent, thanks to some quick and incredibly attentive support from the property managers. It was an ideal setup for two remote workers.

Outside of the work setup, the apartment is comfortable and the amenities are good. The kitchen is small if you're cooking most days, but it's well stocked.

Plantation Hale itself is great—there are 3 pools, two hot tubs, and several grills. The location is excellent, with a Long's Drugs and the Coconut Marketplace within walking distance. The front desk staff is helpful and friendly, too.

Overall, a great stay. Whenever we nomading to a new location I get nervous about wifi and the work setup. If you're in a similar situation, rest assured that this unit is a good fit.

Plantation Hale was as described. Place was clean and well stocked with everything you need. Beach chairs that were there were well used during our stay.

Everything was great. The unit was clean and well stocked. Plenty of towels, paper goods, and a very nice kitchen with all things needed to make ourselves at home. The property had been updated and the bed was great.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful stay at Plantation Hale J8. It was within walking distance of the ocean, stores and restaurants. The condo was clean and comfortable and provided games, books, beach toys for kids, beach chairs and an umbrella. The only problem I had was the blow dryer didn't work. I did leave a note for the owner, since this condo was privately owned. The property management was very friendly and helpful. I would give a 5 rating for everything and would recommend Plantation Hale to friends.

Manager's Response

Loved the property and all the amenities it had to offer. Great location in the middle of it all. The property and owners were amazing and very communicative - everything is clean, clear, up-front. Comfortable, cozy and large unit with EVERYTHING you'd need for a perfect Kaua'i vacation: beach chairs, umbrella, beach umbrella, cooler, full size fridge and all you'd need for cooking at "home." Spare blankets and sheets for the couch bed. Plenty of room to entertain, large patio, and walking distance from the beach, Coconut Marketplace and downtown Kapa'a! Definitely would recommend and stay here again.

Manager's Response

Overall this apartment unit is a good value and in a good location. Being on the East Coast makes it convenient to attractions all around the island.

The apartment unit is clean and has lots of extras like beach umbrella, beach chairs, and a small cooler. The kitchen is old and needs to be updated but it is well stocked and has just about any kitchen appliance you would need. My wife and I were there 2 weeks. They only offer housekeeping service if you stay over 3 weeks. A weekly housekeeping service would be nice but they only offer that for a fee.

The property is listed as ocean view. THERE IS NO OCEAN VIEW. The only view is of a tall construction wall between the unit and the ocean. The AC unit in the living room is very loud. You have to turn the volume of the TV up to hear it over the AC - probably to a volume that the neighbors upstairs can hear what program you are watching. Speaking of the neighbors upstairs...if they are heavy walkers, you will hear them in J8.

Manager's Response

We loved staying in the room! Perfect waking distance to the beach and multiple restaurants in the same center. The room was clean, had lots of towels and linens too! Everything worked perfectly, including the AC, coffee maker, fridge TVs! We absolutely loved staying here as well as this beautiful island. If we make the trip to kauai again, we will be back here for sure! You must stay here!!

Manager's Response

This condo is one of many we have rented in the last ten years. The two negatives of this condo were 1)very noisy A/C and 2)Uncomfortable sofa bed with holes in the sheets. We were aware that the dust fence would block our distant ocean view. We would have loved to have an easy chair since we had three people staying at the condo. We had to all sit on the sofa to be comfortable and it isn't a large sofa. The location is great and the pools were rarely crowded. the pool rules against eating and drinking are strictly enforced and it isn't fun to have to step outside of the fence to have a soda or much a few grapes. The BBQ area is directly on the opposite side of the fence so I don't quite understand the restriction. The new cable system was a pain the entire visit with repeated disconnections of service. Many people on the island seemed to be having problems with the change to Spectrum.

Manager's Response

Convenient and central to family and all the activities we wanted to do. Perfect for a couple or small family. Only half of my family came so it was interesting having four of us share one bathroom when we were use to having multiple ones. Kitchen was adequate and had everything we needed, even a rice cooker! Within walking distance to stores, beach, and bike path. I would definitely stay here again. Only problem we encountered was our key card malfunctioned twice while we were there. Maintenance was able to fix it quickly the first time. The second time was our final night there. Maintenance had left for the day. It didn't matter since we didn't plan to go anywhere that evening anyway. They could fix it after we checked out. Had a view of the roadway and construction wall across the street, but having a ground floor was a plus. Laundry room part of each building so if the one connected to your building was full the next one wasn't that far away. 1.50 for wash, 1.00 for dry. Well worth the price. Thanks for everything!

Manager's Response

Whenever my wife and I go to Kapaa, we always want to stay at Plantation Hale. It is clean, private and only a block or less from the waterfront.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. Had everything we needed and was central to everything we wanted to see and do. We had previously stayed in one of the condos rented by Garden Island Properties, and knew that they were a very good company to rent from, and that we would have no problem if any issues came up during our visit. But everything was great, check in and check out couldn’t have been easier, and the condo was well equipped with everything we would need. Will definitely rent from them on any future visits! Aloha!

An adequate middle-of-the-road rental unit in a good location. Could use a good deep cleaning. A reasonable value on this expensive island.
Pros: Good location. Roomy. Convenient gate built into the lanai railing and an outdoor shower for rinsing off just outside the lanai. Stores and shops nearby. Decently equipped kitchen. Appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella. Ample towel supply. Short walk to an interesting beach. Mattress was okay. First aid kit in the bathroom.
Cons: The unit could use a deep clean - dust on the irregularly textured walls, something blue and cleanable on the shower wall below the faucet, short bits of hair, maybe from shaving, embedded in the inside shower curtain. Wood-look floors could be cleaner. The bedsheets were some slippery polyester-y material and pulled up from the edges so there was a pile of wrinkles in the middle of the bed. Decor was tired - the guest book had a two-year-old comment about renovations but the unit didn't look like it had been renovated that recently. Right next to a street but it wasn't too busy and almost no traffic at night.

Manager's Response

Perfect rental property! Kapaa was the perfect location on Kauai! This condo overall was very clean. The staff was great. The condo had all the extras (beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, extra pillows & blankets, soft sheets & comforter, hair dryer, toys, books, night lights, spices, cooking oils, plenty of pans, dishes, & tupeware) Even though the AC was located in the living room, there was a vent shooting air right from the AC into the BR which actually made the bedroom the coldest! We never used any of the pools or hot tubs because we were out adventuring all day and by the time we got "home" it was closed. (10pm) Everything closes early on the island and even the people staying at the condo turned in early. There was never any noise late at night or early in the morning, or really ever! Definitely go to the Farmer's market next door at Coconut Marketplace Tues & Thurs 8-12. We found the best souvenirs at the ABC store at Coconut Marketplace too. This was our first time in Hawaii (9 days) and when we come back we will definitely be staying here again, but for longer!

Manager's Response

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day stay in Kauai. The property description was very accurate and our stay at the Plantation Hale Suite was everything we had hoped it would be. It was clean and well stocked with all the supplies one would need. We loved the central location to other attractions on the island. Walking distance to great restaurants and grocery stores. Beautifully maintained property, pools and grounds. We would highly recommend this place to others considering a great Kauai location.

Manager's Response

Reservation, confirmation, check-in and check-out processes were easy and professional. Location of the property and the unit were ideal; close to beach access and town amenities, and not directly on main road (foliage barriers).
The furniture was set exactly as photos, and stocked with most basic amenities for a short convenient stay. For my 3-week stay, however, many of the items ran out or low (toilet paper, paper towels, garbage can liners, foil, plastic wrap, etc.) and I purchased to restock. In addition, there weren't sufficient cleaning supplies available (access) to maintain and a large additional fee was required to have someone to come in weekly, so I ended up purchasing cleaning supplies, as well.
Crystal at the front desk was exceptional; friendly, professional, efficient, and generous with her knowledge and experiences. Marilyn at the activity center was also phenomenally helpful and pleasant, though currently she's traveling and no longer there.
Used the garbage and recycling, and parking daily; used the pools and hot tubs several times a week; and, the bbq grill once. All were good, with the exception of the garbage container being locked twice and over rowdy guests (unsupervised kids) in a pool area a few times. Grounds were constantly maintained and beautifully landscaped.
Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I would consider returning and recommending to others.

Very clean unit and can't wait to go back and stay at this unit.

Un endroit bien situe, propre spacieux et confortable. Un appartement fonctionnel. Nous le recommandons.

Comfortable and spacious. Felt like home away from home. love the location too. Very handy having the store a 2 minute walk away.
