Beautiful, amazing ocean front view!

The condo was clean, comfortable and so very close to the ocean, it was amazing! Hearing the sound of the ocean, being able to start every morning walking just a few steps from lounging on the lanai and dipping your feet in the ocean was heaven. The kitchen had everything you needed to prepare meals and the little gift basket on the table of coffee and sweets was very thoughtful. Would definitely visit here again.

The Islander on the Beach is the most relaxing place to stay. The beach views from the lanai are amazing. I really enjoyed watching the sunrise with my coffee and taro/coconut muffin every morning. The place is quiet and the vibe is chill.

Awesome place, awesome location, best sunrise from balcony

Place is perfect for a vacation where you don't expect to cook at your place but the ability to make small meals. Balcony has a perfect view of the ocean where we watched the sunrise daily, and saw whales on multiple occasions. Can't recommend it enough.

Easy to find reasonable places to eat close by. A lot within 5 to 15 minutes of walking. Very nice grounds and very well kept! Nice right on the beach! Lava Lave right next door. Get up early to watch the sunrise at least once, it is worth it.
