Nice 2BR@Beach Sleeps 4+ Hear Waves! Value Comfort-Best Location! See new deals

Aloha! Welcome to Kauai's central location to beach, shopping, and fun!

Ample space for the family or friends with a safe carefree 5 minute walk to beach area and 12 restaurants and local fast food.
No hidden extra fees for parking or resort fee like island hotels.

Older complex, clean & comfortable. Good Views. Free assigned close parking and fast WiFi provided. See surfers in the water easily seen from the patio. View of Nawiliwili Harbor, a working seaport, is across the street.
Value and location in central island. Our spacious two bedroom vacation condo townhouse that sleeps 4 adults in the 2 bedrooms, and up to 2 small children on hide-a-bed sofa in living room. Combo Playpen/crib (foldable) available to use. Best part is unit is just 100 steps from the hillside pool and BBQ area or walk across the street about 1 block to Kalapaki Beach. This is a unique condominium in Banyan Harbor (BH), a well-maintained owner-owned property rated 4.3 stars. Our unit is mostly absence of roadside traffic noise due to its upper hillside location. It is a lovely 2-level design townhouse is desirable due to location as closest buildings to beautiful hilltop swimming pool & BBQ area, and tennis courts. Free parking in your own assigned covered parking space directly below the unit, with 2 stairways to our front door. Partial ocean views. Trendy Hawaiian furniture & decor.

Total of 148 all-suite condominiums in complex located overlooking historic Nawiliwili area. Complex was built in1970's, they are two-story low-rise buildings on the hillside and street level overlooking a working shipyard and protected harbor of local fishing boats. Surrounded by fun shopping, 12 restaurants, activities and entertainment.

Afternoon Check-in 3:30 pm and Morning Check Out time is 10:30 am.

This condo is nice size, quality furnishings, convenient kitchen, ocean views and island location. I strive to set my vacation condo far apart with personal touches. Beautiful maghonany hand carved Master bedroom furniture hand carved in Bali.

Quiet here, too - very relaxing. Suggest while checking other units advertising for Banyan Harbor, ask if on ground level near the road, views or provide air conditioning in all rooms. Most units offered near main road will experience vehicle noises from local traffic that is noticeable.
POOL: This condo is in the closest building to the Pool Area with main BBQ area. Good sized heated salt-brine pool, perfect setting to relax overlooking turquoise waters of Kalapaki Bay. Pool Area has Restrooms, BBQ’s, lounge chairs, lawn area for kids, and picnic tables in a fenced area. Tennis and pickle ball courts to play for all ages. Office has free rentals for courts.

BEACH: Kalapaki beach across the street offers many benefits: One of the safest, clean swimming public beaches in Kauai as it is protected by the Harbor. Many locals outrigger canoes, Stand Up paddle boards, or surfers here. No fear of giant crashing waves if you have small children, elderly or a new to ocean swimming.

Let’s talk for last minute specials, 6 months or longer stays. All stays 30+ days require a mid- stay cleaning fee every two weeks for housecleaning team to refresh condo, new linens, and cleaning floors paid with reservation booking. Much Aloha!

Perfect home base for island adventure

Lihue Stay

We really enjoyed this property and it's fantastic location. The only issue we encountered was the provided soaps - there was no dishwasher or laundry pods, and no bar soap, as noted in the listing. The property manager was extremely responsive and immediately moved to fix the issue when we let her know. We would stay here again. :)

Cozy and convenient place in paradise!

This condo was absolutely perfect for my family and I as we explored beautiful Kauai. The location is awesome as it is only a minute drive to the beach and shopping/restaurants. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships come in and out of the harbor. The swimming pool and barbeque grills were really nice to use and very clean. We were very happy with our choice to stay at the Banyan because of its location, especially after traveling north and finding out the traffic can back up in the Kapaa area! We really appreciated not having to wait in traffic when we left the condo to explore the island. The unit was cozy and clean, it had essentials in the unit (dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.) that we really appreciated after a very long flight and didn't want to venture out to find these things. Our favorite part of the condo was the lanai, sitting out there and looking at the mountains, ocean, and stars...absolutely amazing. I would definitely reserve this unit again! We can't wait to come back to Kauai and visit again.

Our location was ideal for my conference close by at the Royal Sonesta, about a ten minute brisk walk. There were many places to eat close by, food trucks and sit down restaurants. We had a car, Costco and Safeway were no more than a ten minute drive. The large cruise boats were coming and going most days, which quite a spectacle. The morning sunrise was the highlight

Convenient and Comfortable

This condo is very conveniently located to the airport and the Royal Sonesta Resort where my husband was attending a conference. Overall positive report, but it is true that the local contact was hard to reach. Also, there was loud music and a few fireworks(?) one night till 3 a.m., presumably from the cruise ship in port. Instructions for the Wifi had been changed, but had not been updated in the instructions, so that took us a while to figure out. Overall, we were pleased with our stay.

The property was as described by other reviewers, so the steps going up to the condo were no surprise. At least I got in a lot of steps and flights! 😉 The location is very convenient to so many places and things to do. The beds were fine for all of us. I chatted with Kiki at the office and she was helpful in showing me places to check out. I feel like we all had that once in a lifetime trip to Kauai, and the comfort of the condo helped after being on the run most of the day! Thanks!!

Great base for exploring Kaua'i

Convenient to all sides of island and airport, as well as easy walk to a calm beach and lots of gift shops and restaurants. Can see beach and waterfront from balcony, and sunrise (in January). Rental car is needed and we appreciated the covered carport (don't back in!). The property owner was responsive and clearly cares for the property. It made a great base for our 6 day stay on Kaua'i. Only downside might be noise from roosters, which are beautiful- and are all over the island anyhow! Airplane and ship activity is only sporadic and not intrusive.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Hansen

Host profile image
Aloha,
Fell in love with Kauai, and always dreamed of living in Hawaii part time. Live in Northern California, in my hometown of Chico. For past 25 years I’ve been involved in Rotary International, a service club. Enjoy volunteering as an Ambassador for a humanitarian Rotary project called “Give Hope-Give a Hand” project. Travelled world-wide to teach and train fellow Rotarians to give FREE prosthetic hands in their own country. The LN-4 Prosthetic Hand, is designed and mainly made in California. It meets an unfulfilled need, and distributed at no cost to those missing a hand thru FB and Rotary Clubs projects. The simple hand device is made of plastic with a quick release that holds useful tools. Hand restores up to 35% of daily functions, pride and dignity to recipients ages 5 to 105 years old. Personal travels include South Africa, Zambia, Costa Rica, and Mexico with the focus on teaching non-medical Rotary club members to volunteer and serve those in their own communities. Check out LN-4 on FaceBook for more info. My career was owning and managing retail Art Glass Galleries and Women's clothing stores in San Francisco Bay Area. Between traveling, I spend time maintaining 72 Rose bushes, gardening a raised-bed vegetable garden, and painting wearable art.

Why they chose this property

Banyan Harbor is a nice, well maintained complex. Resort is a low-rise buildings (2 stories high) not super fancy, which keeps the prices reasonable, great location and still has many bells and whistles. As the locals say: '”You can't build anything any taller than a Coconut tree.” I found the staff and manager of the resort were long-term islanders, and very friendly. The grounds & landscaping are well cared for. Tropical flowers blooming everywhere, with a few wild chickens that occasionally run through the property. Numerous places to walk within just a block away to grab a bite, watch the surfers, or shop. Friends and family say they enjoy seeing the interaction of fishing boats, tugboats, and Cruise ships sail into the Harbor. There is a local small town atmosphere of Lihue area. Location is good as not next to numerous cookie-cutter hotel chains in a row (except just one luxury Marriot Beach at far end of the Kalapaki beach.) Centrally located in Kauai - just 20 minutes to Poipu Beach, 5 minutes to in-town grocery shopping, Costco, and shopping mall just 1 mile away. Lots of good, inexpensive local Hawaiian places to eat in and around Lihue and Kaapa area (the island's two biggest towns.) Downtown Lihue is one mile drive & Kaapa town is about a 10 minute drive. Close to golf, swimming, kayaking, stand up paddle boards, surfing and activities. Walk the nice grounds and pool area, watch birds, smell fragrant tropical flowers and see an occasional gecko. Same as lanai/patio to enjoy ocean breezes and views while enjoying homemade breakfast, cocktail or evening sunsets.

What makes this property unique

Interior is decorated Hawaiian style with local colors and décor with simple wall art, and comfortable furniture. A large size pool sits hilltop of property with lounge chairs to sunbath and ocean views. Mainly love the proximity to Kalapaki beach across the street to take a daily swim, and snorkel. Fun just to watch many paddleboarders, beach walkers or hang out at “Duke's Canoe Club” for a beer & light meal. Kalapaki beach offers many benefits: mainly one of the safest, clean swimming public beach in Kauai as it's protected by the Harbor. No fear of giant crashing waves or riptides if you have small children, elderly or a new to ocean swimming. Quiet. Relaxing. Romantic. Great for Honeymoons and Anniversaries!
