Village Manor D22, Kapaa Town Coconut Grove, Walk to Beach

Pretty well appointed in kitchen, bath & bedrooms. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of fans. Some thoughtful additions would be welcomed, such as air freshener, more storage containers for food. Really nice location … walkable even. Close to grocery, restaurants & beach.

Great stay. We loved being able to walk to the beach for sunrises and being near the grocery store and a few restaurants was great.

Manager's Response

Great location! Everything was no more than a5-10 minute drive. Clean house, beautiful island. Went to all the beaches near by. Clear clean water! The shave ice was amazing. This house is perfect for a family vacation!

The rental was great! The only bad thing I had to say is, I'm 6'3" tall and the shower head is 5'0". I had to be on my knees to take a shower. Made my family laugh, LOL. Otherwise, it was a great rental, totally recommend it to friends.

Manager's Response

Absolutely amazing! The space was very comfortable, the surroundings were just breathtakingly beautiful. Our host was very communicative and helpful! We are very grateful to have stayed here and hope to return once more.

Manager's Response

Clean, beach pretty much in backyard, clean, quiet, will stay again!

Manager's Response

Had a wonderful stay, everything close by.

Manager's Response

There's good and bad about this rental. The condition is good and it is well equipped. It was roomy for two people but would feel a bit tight for four. The bad is the location. It is between two parking lots and has no views at all. It is not far to a beach but that isn't a great walk. We just didn't find it a place to hang out and relax. Everything nearby is either a shopping center or more apartments. Traffic is terrible, but that's just Kauai. All in all, if you want a place to just sleep and fix a bite to eat this is fine. If you want a place to kickback and enjoy being there you might want to look elsewhere.

Manager's Response

Had the best stay! Very clean comfortable place. Had all the necessary amenities. Would recommend to everyone!!

Manager's Response

It was nice, exactly what we expected. It was nice to have a half bathroom in a master. When we got there, the internet router was broken and agent was helpful.

Although we knew there wasn’t any AC in this unit, we booked this place since we would stay in November. It was still pretty hot in November. Having fan helped, but if you don’t like being hot, I would book elsewhere.

Other than that, it was good. The location was wonderful with shops and restaurants all close by. Walking distance to the beach.

Manager's Response

The condo is located within a couple minutes walk to the beach, nearby shops, and food trucks. Kapaa location was central for visits to Hanalei, Sleeping Giant, Wailua River, Poipu, and Waimea Canyon. Easy no-contact check-in and check-out. Although no a/c, the ceiling fans provided ample air movement and a comfortable stay. Kitchen was well equipped and bed was comfortable. Beach chairs, umbrella and towels were included with the rental. Did not use the on-site laundry room. Would rent this unit again.

Manager's Response

Condo was clean and centrally located. The rental staff was professional and easy to deal with.

Manager's Response

Great and quick communication! And if there was something they couldn’t help us with they gave us recommendations of who could! Great experience!

Pros: great location for grocery store (across street) food and shops, plus in between North and South shore which is really nice.
Clean. Big enough for our family. Nice to have a place to cook.
Cons: Hot!!! If you are from Arizona or are used to hotter temps you will be fine, if not, it's uncomfortable. We originally booked for Nov, so I wasn't worried about not having A/C, but then we ended up coming in June. The fans are not enough. It blew right on us and was uncomfortable at night, especially once you have had some time in the sun. Some nights were Ok others were not. Felt like you were sleeping in 80 plus degrees. Way too hot to use the oven. We often woke up drenched in sweat. Again, when it's not Summer its probably just fine. The oven took a long time to cook (like hours). And the pillows need to be changed out. Some bugs, but I think that's just a tropical climate thing. TV's worked off on, but I think we just didn't know how to use them. Really just the heat is the issue. The people that run it were great. Great location. Value could have been better for no a/c. If you can find a place for the same price with a/c, definitely get the place with A/C. I believe it was also advertised that they had a pool and there is not one.

This condo was just perfect for our trip. It had everything we needed in a very convenient spot. It was nice having a kitchen because of my nieces diet restrictions we make the food she could eat. Having the extra half bath in the master bedroom was also great. The three of us all liked the condo very much.

Manager's Response

This somewhat small, second floor, two bedroom apartment was just what we (family of four) needed. One BR had a king bed, the other two twins. One main bathroom, and a second with just toilet and sink. Kitchen had all that was needed. Just a few bugs but none that were fast moving or frightening. We kept our food in the fridge, microwave or oven and it stayed safe. The location was very convenient with restaurants, shops and groceries (and a great bakery) in walking distance. The only negative was the wild roosters waking us up at 5:30 AM, but they're everywhere on this island. Landlord was great and communicated with us throughout. I'd come back again.

Manager's Response

Our rental experience was great! The place was big enough for us 4. This village is walking distance from the beach and walking distance to connivence store and a Ross! The room provided beach towels and a cooler that we definitely ended up using. I have already recommended this place to family and friends.

Manager's Response

Our "home away from home" in Kapaa was convenient, clean, and the management was friendly. They also provided extra things we might need. Mahalo!

Manager's Response

A great place to stay

Manager's Response

Groceries and shopping very close. Nice being on east side Kauai, close to north shore, close to Lihue(county seat), not far to south side Poipu/Koloa towns. Relaxed, quiet, small condo complex. Friendly folks and 3min walk to beach. Best for me was being on Kauai's east side, bike path along the ocean. great place to stay.

Manager's Response

Everything I wanted in my stay on Kauai.

Manager's Response

Happy with the accommodations. Very comfortable.
Kitchen well equipped. Ribs broken on two of the sun umbrellas.
Only complaint was the neighbours below us slamming their doors early in every week day morning.
Clean, comfortable.
Thank you.
Because we were there for 3 week hiking trip we would have liked less rain. Could you please do something about that? Kidding of course

Manager's Response

Very comfortable setting, easy walk to the beach right through the parking lot, shopping centers close and amazing food places close by. I would highly recommend staying there.

Manager's Response

We loved this cozy and humble "home". I love how we were able to experience the real "island life" experience. The home is super clean and fully furnished and was surprised that spices were also provided :) WE enjoyed each night and day we've spent in this home. The neighbors were also nice. Very convenient if you needed to get stuff from the store, so close to the beach too! Every morning, we wake up so early to catch the glimpse of Kauai's pink sky and it was so easy coz the house is less than a quarter to the beach! LOVED LOVED our stay here!!!

Pros:
Central location for getting to N & S areas of island
Short walk to beach (but no swimming/snorkeling at this beach!)
Adequately furnished
Kitchen well-equipped
Easy parking & hwy access
Clean linens and plenty of clean bath and beach towels

Cons:
No A/C! Windows open, fans on high - still very sweaty nights!
Since windows HAD to be open at night, roosters would wake us at 4 AM - despite fans, noise machines, and earplugs :-/
More beach gear would be great. We bought and left a boogie board, hopefully it is still there for future guests...
Fairly cramped for family of 5 - like many condos, fish-eye lenses make unit look much bigger
Not dirty, but lots of dust on light fixtures. Needed a deep clean!
Shower fan was nearly inoperable, didn't vent steam when showering

Overall: Mostly got what we expected, but the fitful nights made us long for our own beds. Wouldn't stay here again in summer due to lack of A/C. Pretty good for a family traveling on a budget, and we were out exploring the island the majority of the time anyhow.

Manager's Response

This property is conveniently located right near a small shopping center as well as the beach. We walked to the beach every evening and we pretty much had it all to ourselves. The room is newly remodeled and they did a great job with that. They had small beach chairs, umbrella and cooler that made our days at the beach a bit more comfortable. The manager sent many emails with information about the island and advice on things to do. It is a great little condo. We rented snorkeling gear and a boogie board at the beginning of the week an hit the beaches. Our favorite snorkel spot was Beach House Beach. We also did a Zodiac Tour with Blue Horizon. It was the highlight of our stay! We saw the west side of the island at high speed, went into the caves, snorkeled, swam, saw dolphins and rays. That was a great day. We ate meals at home in the evenings because my husband is celiac so it is hard to eat out. The room had great quality cooking supplies.

Manager's Response

We loved staying here. it was nice and clean and well set up for a family with 3 older children. my husband and I loved the beautiful seaside walk into town.
It is a little small for eating in as there is no table. we found it a nice cool temperature and quieter than nearby condos as it is further from the main road.

Manager's Response

We really did not have any complaints, we had a great stay at the apartment. The only thing that was kind of a bummer, that beach access was a bit hard, which looked different on the map.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed the location of this property, it was all we needed! Was great to have beach chairs, umbrella and cooler available for us to use. Full kitchen with everything we needed. Only thing we would of liked was a BBQ.

Manager's Response

The location is the strong suit, it’s one block from the ocean, close to Kapa’a and a good starting point for any trip around the island. The property is in good condition and was well equipped for our stay.

Manager's Response

We found the condo to be as pictured and described, and it couldn’t have been easier to check in and out! We loved that it’s less than a 5 minute walk to the water, several restaurants, and even grocery stores! You can just peek the ocean from the front, and it’s a tad awkward to actually get to the water, but we didn’t mind in the slightest. The beds were comfy, the WiFi and Smart TV came in handy on the one night it rained, and we loved having the full kitchen. I’d definitely stay here again!

Manager's Response

The place was clean, however we didn't realize how hot and humid it is on the Island so would have preferred a place with air conditioning. For the price it was good. The location was convenient to shopping but beach access was not that easy.

Manager's Response

We did not read closely enough regarding “no aircinditioning”. However the condo was very comfortable with windows open and fans on.

Manager's Response

With my wife and our 2 children of 20 and 17 we really appreciated our stay.

Manager's Response

Small but very clean & well stocked with linens & pillows & beach towels, beach chairs, coffee maker, spices.
Close to everything.
We LOVE the Foodland directly across the street for ALL your shopping needs.
We could even see the beach through the coconut trees!
Only negative- No air conditioning
BUT there WAS 3 high powered small fans & ceiling fans in every room

Manager's Response

A great place to stay. We had everything we needed. Everything was comfortable and clean. Thank you!

Manager's Response

The property was perfect for just me and my daughter. During the major storm one day, we received several text messages from property management regarding road closures, etc.

Manager's Response

Nice rental and 2 minute walk to a long lovely walking beach. Since it rained for most of our stay, we enjoyed the Kupa Ranch ATV tour in the mud which the kids loved.

Manager's Response

Averything was a described. Lovely place. Clean and neat.

Manager's Response

This condo was perfect for our family. It had an excellent layout to use the space efficiently. We are a family of 5 (3 young children) and we were quite comfortable here. Kitchen had everything we needed to have breakfasts and some suppers in, cooler was in the unit so we packed lunch for the beach most days. TV in living room and both bedrooms for downtime, 2 bathrooms was great. I was a little hesitant to have a coin-op shared laundry, but it was clean, lots of machines, just be sure to save all of your quarters during your stay! Peekabo view of the ocean, great parking. You can walk to the beach easily, but there are much nicer beaches a short drive away. Also, you can walk to many restaurants/shopping/coffee/groceries easily, with two grocery stores very near, at least one of which is open 24 hrs. We didn't spend lots of time in Kapaa, but it is a great central location to all the places we frequent. Lydgate is a great beach (and playground) for the little ones too, and it is very close to the condo, so that was appreciated. This complex is a mix of residents and vacation rentals, my kids found neighbour kids to play with and spent time riding bikes and playing in the grass, it was fabulous. It is a top floor unit, which gave a nice breeze at night. The downstairs neighbours once complained about our kids stomping/jumping/etc, so we were constantly reminding them to stop that, which is hard when they are used to skipping/hopping everywhere they go haha. Besides that, everything was awesome. Furniture in the main room has been updated since this photo.

nice condo in a quiet area, clean and comfortable. Only a AC would be missing !

Manager's Response

Very clean, super kitchen, top location. We had a perfect stay!

Manager's Response

Overall - Excellent! Some of the furnishings were slightly different from the pictures, e.g. 2nd bedroom showed 2 twins pushed together as a king, and couch and some drapes were different. But overall, we couldn't be more pleased. Very clean, very nicely upgraded from other units. 1/2 bath off master plus full hall bath were perfect for us and our daughter. Centrally located for touring the entire island. AC would have been nice, but we knew that beforehand. Ceiling fans and room fans helped. We would definitely stay here again. Quiet complex - downstairs neighbors (long-term leasers) were really nice - made us feel welcome. Booking was easy - Sue and Kanani were friendly and professional.

Manager's Response

It was a great vacation rental experience. Inexpensive as well. Close to a lot of shops, beaches..( the lists just goes on)

Manager's Response

Village Manor D22 is a small and quite apartment complex. D22 was very clean and newly remodeled. The couch and chairs are really in need of an upgrade because they are very worn and uncomfortable. The pictures make the rooms look larger than they really are. Kind of deceiving. The white and blue bedding and flower curtains shown are NOT in this unit. The second bdrm has twin beds which are not shown in pictures that I saw and are very hard and uncomfortable. There is NO A/C available. The weather was nice and breezy for most of our stay but the last 2 days were very humid and the 2 small fans that were provided didn't help very much. I feel that they should at least put in a window A/C and provide a good osculating fan for each room for the days that are very humid. Other than that the stay was in a good location and close to stores, a couple of shopping centers and a really nice small water way area to wade in near by. If you're looking for a simple place to sleep without the bells and whistles, this could be the place.

Manager's Response

This place was simply perfect. We arrived to find the unit clean and just as pictured. The kitchen has everything you need and was ready for us to cook a meal. We found beach chairs and beach towels in the closet and masks snorkels under the kitchen sink. There is beach access minutes (like 3)away and it was never crowded. Foodland is a short walk, about a block, away and they are reasonably priced if you get a shoppers card. The laundry room was a short walk from the unit and was clean and functional. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone. You are a short drive to Kapaa and it is centrally located to everything on the island. It would be nice if there was an area with a grill, that was the one thing we missed was grilling a Kauai beef steak. We have been coming to Kauai for many years but this is our first stay at this location. We WILL be back to Village Manor D22

Manager's Response

THE PROS:
Good location with access to a lot of shopping and a good location to start when accessing other parts of the island.
Clean
Lots of added amenities like beach chairs, umbrella, snorkels, and cooler.
Keypad lock, no need to carry a key!
Good speed internet!

THE CONS:
No A/C and the ceiling fans weren't the strongest so the place is warm.
Despite the numerous ant traps we did experience a lot of ants. We ended up killing a lot of them with 409 cleaner we found under the sink.
Roosters woke me up early every morning (not much the owners can do about that).

The condo was everything we expected; clean, updated, and a great location!! We enjoyed the little touches, extra beach towels, snorkels, iron, etc.

My family had a excellent stay in the accommodation..
It was easy to get into the property without any hassle.. Everything was clean & nice..
My son has lot food allergies.. The kitchen was well equipped & clean... We could easily cook - thanks for providing even electric rice cooker & blender.. (though we did not use them)..
Proximity to all locations was good.. We were centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit...
There was one thing we were disappointed - the speed of the fans especially in the bed rooms was too less.. It will be great if u can fix that - since it is a non-Ac unit..
I would really recommend this place to all our friends & family...

the place was great besides the ridiculously large cockroaches that were in the shower. Scared the living daylights out of me. But other than that the stay was nice. The location is perfect, with shops, grocery stores and cafes within walking distance. I would highly recommend this place. The only downfall was the loud neighbors downstairs and their messy apartment. But they would quiet down by around 9 so it worked out well after we adjusted to the time change.

Place was nice, needed more kitchen towels and a better broom. Pictures on vrbo were deceiving to the actual size of the unit. Wishing there was a BBQ or grill of some sort available. Light by the door was not left on for our arrival. Description of beach side was deceiving as it was quite a walk to the beach and couldn't see it from the condo.

We had a great time. D22 is a great place, a short walk to everything we needed. Grocery stores,restaurants,beech and running trail. Bike rentals also just at the end of the road.

Wonderful newly reno'd condo in a great area, close to shopping and an easy walk into Kapa'a. Not far from the beach, and beautiful sunrises. Kitchen fully equiped for making your own meals. Also close to many great restaurants.

Wonderful place to stay. I would highly recommend it to anybody who wants to stay in Kapaa. The place was beautifully maintained and had everything that you would need to go to the beach. Being able to walk to the beach and watch the sun rise and the moon rise was really beautiful. Will definitely be staying here again.
