This is one of the few locations that guests can enjoy without a car. There is a bus stop within one block from unit. Grocery stores and restaurants are within walking distance. High end resorts are on either side of the complex Spa services and luaus are offered at adjacent resorts. This unit is located just off the ocean. (150 yards). There is a small resort on the ocean front.

This complex is adjacent to the newly paved, oceanfront biking and walking path. The path runs for 9 miles. Bike rental and e-bike rental is available nearby.

Kauai free-roaming roosters crow in the early morning. We have added a noise cancelling device in the ocean-side bedroom. However, you may need to have ear plugs.

Great space !
Great location, perfect vacation space! Easy check-in, beds were super comfortable, the space was clean with a really nice back lanai. The air flows through the space nicely with the doors open and the fans in the bedroom were great for sleeping. We will be returning!

Kauai
Overall the place is nice with a good location and of course on the beautiful island of Kauai. The house is a good size and really has all you need except AC which sure would be a big help but its manageable without. The owner has plenty of fans to help and the breeze was decent. The rooms are nice and the bathroom has a great shower. The kitchen is perfect for the unit and a breakfast on the balcony bar is a good way to start the day. Parking was ok but the stalls aren't marked anymore so just park in front...no one complained where I parked. The location is great about 40 minutes to the very top or very bottom so its really centrally located and a TON of places to eat and shop just steps from the door (Bull Shed is awesome) A couple negatives...the front porch is extremely cluttered with chairs and a table...hard to get by carrying stuff. The listing says Hot Tub and there is NO hot tub so there's that....the beach is just sand no swimming because its all reef and when I was there a dead whales head washed up, so the rotting whale head was a real treat...Best to visit another beach which the owner provides beach chairs umbrellas and other stuff so that's a plus. Overall its a great little place to stay...definitely would stay again

The location of this unit is centralized to everything that you could possibly need and was extremely convenient. It was nice to be able to take a stroll along the coast in the evening. The unit also provided many essentials. The beds were extremely comfortable, I slept like a baby. Donna responded to all of our questions quickly.

Easy breezy beach vacay
Loved our time at this property. I stayed with my husband and sister. We had plenty of room and privacy. Literally steps away from the beach. Waves and current we're pretty wild, but I could just sit on that beach and stare at the beautiful ocean all day. Location was great, 10-15 minutes from the airport and a very central spot on the island. You could drive to the north or south end within 35 minutes. A couple of delicious restaurants and a Safeway within walking distance. Beach chairs and towels were provided, which was very convenient. Loved opening the windows and screen doors at night to get the natural cooling effect of the trade winds. 10/10 would recommend a stay at this property.

Birthday Vacation
The unit was very spacious for being an older, smaller unit. Parking was never an issue. We were concerned we might find fault with the hot water during a shower as the tankless unit was so small, but it was never an issue. The condo was close to the Wailua Drive In (which has the best Chicken Long Rice), a Safeway market and other shopping and dining options. From the front of the unit were beautiful views of the mountains and from the rear balcony we had ocean views, although not ocean front which we already knew. There is no a/c but it was never needed/wanted during our stay. There was a constant trade wind blowing to cool the unit. We also had and used the ceiling fans. The beds were comfortable, the pillows were too hard for our preference, however, Costco isn't far away and we bought a package of 2 to use while staying there and brought them home to exchange with our older pillows. We would definitely stay here again in the Village Manor.

Great for on-the-go vacationers
We enjoyed our stay despite the rain and roosters. We were able to walk to restaurants and a few shops, and the beach. The beach closest to this property did not seem swimable as it was a rocky surf (sandy shores tho.) We utilized the path that runs right in front of the property and accessed beaches further down the shoreline. The roosters crowed all day and even throughout the night, which made for difficult sleeping. The place was well stocked inside and there are plenty of beach equipment options on the deck. Overall we would stay here again.

Great Location
We (2 couples) had a great 2 week stay in this condo. The location is amazing with shopping, restaurants and the coast all in short walking distance. The condo has what you need for a long stay, including laundry onsite (quarters required) and some beach gear. We wish it had some more sitting space in the living room for 4, and another full size bathroom but we knew that when we booked so no real complaints. The hot water tank had an issue during our stay and the host had it repaired for us within 24 hours, which is tough to do in a small place like Kauai. Would stay again!

Would stay again
I will start by saying this was a cute place, a good size for two people and may try to rent again next year. Just a few things that could have been helpful. The shower drain was not covered, which is where I believe the biggest cockroach I have ever seen came from. The paperwork said there would be extra batteries which we didn't find when we had issues with the tv remote. The couch was torn, didn't want to sit on it and have it tear more. The curtains were moldy which caused a lot of allergy issues and a swiffer would be helpful to keep the floors clean during our stay.

Great location
The location was wonderful, right by a great bike trail on the beach and very central to everywhere on the island. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean and tastefully updated, but some deep cleaning does need to be addressed - the curtains and fans need a good scrub. Regarding the lack of ac- I DID know about this before booking, but was not expecting it to be so hot in October. It was about 85 degrees inside the apartment when we arrived, with the windows open. The owner has said that they are not allowed to install ac, so this is not something they can fix unfortunately, but it is definitely something to be aware of before booking. They do provide arctic coolers which do a good job cooling if you sit directly in front of them, but it's not going to cool the entire room. The owner also was very responsive and brought us a brand new arctic cooler when I called to let them know that one of them was not working. I was much more comfortable after that as the new cooler was much better at cooling. So I really appreciate the extra effort!

Excellent Location
This is a clean and adequate 2nd floor condo with everything we needed including many extras we didn't use. The stove and refrigerator are small but adequate. There are many beach "extras" to use. The 2 bedrooms include closet space and a dresser for clothes. The 1 1/2 bath is up to date and clean. Laundry room is across the parking lot, but costs extra (we did not use). The beach nearby is good to watch the sun rise and stick your toes in the water, but you have to travel further down the path to get to the swimming area in front of the resort. The best thing about this property is the LOCATION! Anywhere on the island is easily accessible from here. There are many options for eating, drinking, shopping, etc. Other than Lihu'e, this is probably the biggest town on the island. This area is more "local" than Princeville. We considered staying in Princeville and am glad we chose here instead. If you are looking for the "resort" type of experience, this is not it. This is where you will find shorts, t-shirts, and sandals wearing people. No need to dress up.
