Wailua Bay View Condos

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of spending a week here during the month of April. Our room was clean and well appointed and what a view! We were told we would be oceanfront and the lanai looked over a beautiful beach with gorgeous sunrises. The grounds were very clean and nicely landscaped. The pool was sparkling and if I had one complaint it would be that they could use a couple of umbrellas out there as Kauai sun gets very hot. The resident manager was very nice and helpful giving us direction to wonderful sites to visit and great restaurants. All in all, I give Waialua Bay View 5 stars and my husband and I would definitely recommend this.

We stayed in unit 106 in May. It was very nicely remodeled and the view was amazing. It was quiet, cozy and centrally located next to many restaurants, shops and is a short drive to any side of the island. The owner sent us a nice gift basket the day we arrived. He was very accommodating, nice and easy to deal with. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

We stayed here for 9 days in unit 305. While the unit was a little dated, it was still very nice and very well equipped. We found the area extremely enjoyable, easy to get around in and the locals very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this complex to anyone who is looking for a nice place to stay.

I had been looking forward to a peaceful week, but the owner next door decided to pick that same week to remodel! Drilling and hammering ruined my vacation! They were also replacing the roof gutters, and since I was on the top floor, I got it from two sides!
There was only air conditioning in the living room so the bedroom was too hot to sleep. The bedrooms all face the street so there is plenty of road noise. The sofabed was very uncomfortable, but luckily the owner had a futon stashed in the closet, so I put that on top of the sofa bed mattress.
All in all a mostly unpleasant experience. If you must endure a hot and humid vacation in Hawaii, I strongly recommend staying at a nice resort and not a dumpy condo. At least you’ll have some respite. Oh, and another thing about Kauai — the roosters start crowing at 4:30 am, so you’d better plan on getting up early!

These condos were very nice. We stayed in #207. The views were amazing! The only complaints I would have is that i would prefer if it didn’t have carpet in the entry way and the slits in the screens need to be repaired to keep the mosquitos out. However it was stocked with everything you would ever need! Beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, ample linens and towels, hair dryer, curling iron, cleaning products, trash bags, sunscreen, kitchen wares and even condiments, spices, eggs, butter, water and whole lot more were provided. The bed was very comfortable in the bedroom. The pullout bed in the main room was horrible with hard heavy springs poking you. It had a flat screen tv that allowed us to hook up our apple tv or roku. It had dvd/​vhs player. Free internet was slow at times. There were many Kauai guidebooks. There were games to play and books to read. There is no housekeeping available at all. Beach access is very close. You don’t have to go on highway as previous reviewers had claimed. There is a beach access on the other side of the property. The pool area was small but nice with 2 gas BBQs that were clean. No hot tub was on property. The condos were centrally located between the north and south shore, about an hour each way. Warning: Don’t park under the monkey pod tree! It dropped sap that looked like an entire coffee latte. It would not wash off and ruined the rental car! I will definitely stay here again, but i will stay in #209 because it was flooring instead of carpet

My brother and our wives stayed in unit 310 for a 3 day weekend in April 2013. We loved everything about our experience here. We purchased our tickets on Hotwire and got a great deal.
The complex itself is located in a beautiful part of Kapaa, centrally located with restaurant and shops nearby. The rooms all have ocean views and are less than 50 feet from the water. The staff that we encountered here were all friendly and even pretty funny.
Our condo was clean and mostly updated, with a brand new TV and BluRay player, as well as free private Wifi. The condo was fully stocked with literally everything we needed, it made it really nice. The owners even left a welcome note with a bottle of wine!
For the price, location and experience we all rated this an A+!!

Tried to put a ½ star… U it was clean on inside (but not updated since the 80s), but dumpy on the outside. Location good for getting to other parts of island, but very disappointing. Look elsewhere unless you get it for a steal…

I’m staying here this weekend with my wife for her birthday and we’re very happy with the location. I was worried about the beach access based on another review but that person either misjudged the distance or there have been changes to the sidewalk area. The sidewalk is currently under construction and will be quite a bit nicer when it’s complete but even without the construction, we only had to walk about 30 yards to access the beach and only a small portion of it was along the highway. I also found a second beach access point in the other direction on a less busy road with a paved sidewalk and that only took 2 minutes to get to. As we drove along that road last night, we saw a few more beach access points.
The complex is great if you’re comfortable not having the full resort experience. We love it here because we’re at mid-​point on the island and can easily get to the north or south shores. Out unit is fully stocked with just about everything we need from towels, to kitchen. Kauai Vacation Rentals left a nice little welcome basket.
We’re looking forward to coming back next year!
Edited rating — we were back again in October and stayed in unit 211 again. We were more than pleasantly surprised at the improvements made by the new owners to the unit itself.
The beach access is even better as the county finished work on a protected sidewalk that runs the length of Wailua Beach. This place is awesome and we can’t recommend unit 211 highly enough!

The website says they are 30 ft. from the water. True, but getting to the water is a whole different matter. You can’t actually get to the beach without a walk along a busy highway, without a sidewalk. The actual entrance to the beach is about ½ mile of walk. It is not a swim beach by any means. Boggy board or surfing is pretty good. No snorkeling close.
The 1 bedroom condo was recently «redecorated», meaning they recently painted it, so recently the paint on the cupboards was still wet and sticky on your hands. The smell of the apartment– condo was something between Lysol and musky. The bathroom was not in too good of shape and had rust. It really needs a refresh.
Traffic noise is strong in the early morning.
Would we stay here again? I don’t think so. The ocean view was great — but all of the ocean views in Hawaii are great.
The photos provided are deceiving. The location for restaurants and shopping are excellent.

Unit 204… awesome. Woohoo is right! dealt directly with the owner, who keeps a fully stocked condo. I needed clothes and food. that is it! He had everything else. the condo is mid island, so perfect for Kauai sightseeing. the pool is so great, condo had sunrise view over the ocean and beach. sit on lanai and see ocean, beach, surfboarders, fishers, swimmers, walkers, etc. i am returning end of this year and booked this exact condo. my advice, work with the owner!!!
