Easy walk across the street about 1 and half block to famous 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.

    ■ Lihue/Nawiliwili Harbor - centrally located area on Hawaii's Garden Island, and so convenient with it is mid-island and easy to drive to Popui Beach or Princeville. Total of 148 all-suite condominiums in complex located overlooking historic Nawiliwili area. Complex was built in 1970'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, restaurants, activities and entertainment.

    ■ Why stay in a one room hotel room? Better when you can spread out in the living room, sleep in a separate bedroom, washer/dryer inside condo. Save money and time by eating breakfast or packing lunches for day trips. Easy to BBQ meals and eat at pool area 2 minute walk.

    ■ Great central location to either Poipu Beach (25-30 minutes drive) or Princeville's North Shore is beautiful ocean and jungle feel 45-60 minutes drive.

    Afternoon Check-in 3:30 pm and Morning Check Out time is 10:00 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 racket 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 requires 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!

The host was great. Answered all my questions. The place was clean and nice. Good location in regards to being central, shopping, target and Costco. It was tight quarters for our family (mom, dad, 3 teens), but it did the job. Stocked with everything you need (except we never found the beach chairs). Grateful for the laundry machine.

It was good stay with clean dwelling. Minor issues that are to expected in any house that size. Overall good stay. One thing to note is that dwelling is on 2nd floor and has stairs. It could be challenging for someone with advanced age or limitations.

Wonderful family vacation, we loved the location… beautiful view, easy beach access, fun to watch the barges come into port, and see the surfers & canoe races. We had a great time playing pickleball everyday and BBQ by the pool. Loved the proximity to Duke’s Hula Pie

Perfect home base for island adventure

This unit was a super cute older 2 bedroom two story townhouse. It was on the hilltop so we got our steps in each day. Great location to a wonderful beach park, shops and dining. Even had the pool to ourselves for a few half days. Had an amazing stay

Wonderful!

We had a great stay for 7 days. We loved being able to sit on the lanai and watch the ships and harbor activity. The condo had everything we could possibility need including quite a few pantry staples and condiments. Very traditional Hawaiian style home, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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. :)

Great vacation location

We had a great week! The condo had everything we needed to be comfortable. It was clean, and well laid out. Everything was in good working order and all instructions and communication were extremely clear. Great location: walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. So much fun to watch the barges and cruise ship coming and going from the balcony. Centrally located for driving activities as well. Loved it!

Beautiful Kauai

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

The apartment is clean, colorful, and nicely designed, and very well equipped with soaps, towels, linens, a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and basic kitchen supplies, which was appreciated. The location is great, though being close to the harbor means there can be some noise at times when ships are docking. The apartment is on two levels, and the entrance requires climbing two flights of stairs, which may be something to consider. For a group of five adults or near-adults, the space felt a bit compact. The complex itself is clean and pleasant, with a very nice pool area, although the pool is not heated. Each room has air conditioning, which is convenient, but the units are quite noisy, making it difficult to sleep with them on. Overall, a nice and well-maintained place, with a few points worth noting depending on personal preferences and group size.

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.

Beautiful Banyan

This rental was more than adequate for our recent visit to Kauai. The living and dining room furniture is new and refrigerator & dishwasher are also new. The air conditioners are due for replacement but the fans in the bedrooms and open windows helped at night instead of listening to a noisy unit. The pool/bbq area were nice. BBQ’s were busy, so go early. Pool is salt water and small but nice. The condo is centrally located on Kauai and there is a really nice park and beach across the road. It was nice to have morning coffee on the lanai and watch the ships come into port. Karen (owner) was great to work with and very informative and prompt to answer our questions. We stayed here Jan 21-27,2024.

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.

Excellent Locale; Strong Value

Great décor. Quality, plentiful linens. Excellent wi-fi. Lanai is sweet spot for sunrise breakfast. Nice to have car right below, especially when sun was blazing/ raining out. Luxury not to haul beach chairs and a cooler across a parking lot. Front desk friendly. Complex has solar, making trip more eco-friendly. Short walk to the clean pool w/ amazing view of Nawiliwili & mountains. Easy walk to Kalapakī Beach. Not far from Kapaʻa & Poʻipū for good restaurants. Farmers markets, Costco, Target, etc., not far. Relief to have no one above. Generally quiet unit, though one day we heard housekeeping yelling next door. Loud party nearby on last night. Heard waves at night when the (faint) highway noise fades. Roughly 18 steps to condo. Would like more lighting if I were woman staying alone. 2nd bedroom not closed off completely (top is open). Good to know if you have light sleepers. Washing machine smelled like previous guests let it get musty. Window AC units were between 60 & 70 decibels on lowest setting. Owner explained that trade winds at night make AC unnecessary. There were cool breezes at night, but a loud party nearby on last night made us close windows. Few dirty/ broken things, but nothing major. To be fair, owner gave us maintenance's info before stay. But instead of complaining, we just cleaned up. Why bother with arranging repair while on vacation? Would stay at BH again for location alone. Overall, strong value.
