Islander on the Beach 153

The location in Kapaa was perfect. Centrally located to access all areas of the island.

Immediately entering 153 was an overwhelming smell of must. When entering the bathroom, the shower curtain smelled like mold. Bad enough that we just went to Target and bought a new one. The bathroom vanity was old and It definitely had water damage. The towels were wrinkled although arranged in decorative manner. However, the worst part was after showering and wiping down with a “moldy smelling” towel. It was as if it was left in the dryer wet and dried over time. We should have contacted the rental company but we didn’t arrive until after midnight. The next morning we just wanted start our vacation without the hassle of complaining to anyone. So to solve the issue ourselves so we bought some cleaning supplies and shower curtain. We figured if the owner/ company would allow the unit to be rented in that condition it wasn’t worth the hassle complaining.

Right on beach! Large glass slider and window ocean front! Nice seating and table on lanai- Beautiful tropical grounds-can walk to restaurants and shopping or drive to all other sights. The king sized bed is very comfy. Has a fridge and coffee pot. microwave and toaster. We did not want to cook so were delighted with these appliances in the suite. Easy check in and out. Clean, airconditioned plus has a great ceiling fan. Would definately return and rent through this host again.

Such a small thing-but I wish there had been a small table or shelf on my bedside. We put our carryon suitcase upright in that space with a cutting board on it to balance a couple needed nightime items so it worked out! Only the left side of bed has a nighttable-lamp.

Good location, view was excellent, nice pool, nice hot tub, good poolside bar,

This unit is not managed by ASHTON, The staff for Ashton treat you horribly. Very rude, not helpful, we heard this from several guest and witnessed it for ourselves. Parking is awful, locals will take the spots for the resort and management does nothing about it. There are signs saying you have to be a registered guest but it doesn’t matter. Room was not cleaned well, air wasn’t working properly, wouldn’t coo, the room, they had to come and clean the unit, they said it needed a full clean but owner needed to approve. No mid-stay clean was offered, we were not allowed to use the laundry onsite since we were not Ashton guest, had to take our bed sheets and towels to a local laundromat and spent $25 cleaning their sheets and towels.
