Fine dining and exotic drinks await you at quaint restaurants and bars, one of which is poolside. Whether looking for adventure, romance, or relaxation, this is a fantastic, centrally-located resort!

Formerly a Hilton property and now a fabulous Outrigger property, all of the units at KBR appear like hotel rooms. However, they have privately owned "condotels." The resort operates very much like a luxury hotel, though the unit is unique because it was COMPLETELY RENOVATED in 2020 and updated, including paint, artwork, furniture, and luxury vinyl plank flooring.

How does renting our unit via VRBO differ from renting through KBR's website or other travel sites? With us, you will know the exact room and location you are getting instead of finding out upon arrival what your room looks like and what your view will be, which could be on the opposite side of the resort, looking at the parking lot and dumpsters. And even more importantly, all the money saved with lower nightly rental rates and not paying KBR's extra charges such as $40/additional person/night, $40/night for a roll-away bed, and KBR's daily resort fee of $30/DAY. Through us, you have access to all of the resort's amenities except for the hotel shuttle, 7:00 a.m. yoga, or the occasionally offered hula or lei-making classes. Another difference is that we do not provide daily maid service but charge a fee when booking for a cleaning that is completed after you check out to ensure our unit is cleaned and sanitized for all our guests upon arrival. However, you may request a mid-stay cleaning for an additional $60 (a good idea if there is too much sand in your room) or extra towels for $25 (we recommend this as it is very humid and nothing dries quickly). We ask that you make your requests to us when booking so that we can schedule that with our cleaning crew during your stay. Please also note a parking fee of $35/day plus tax charged by the resort to all KBR guests with cars, which is paid directly to the resort upon check-in. This fee is subject to change without notice.

FAQs - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS CONDO?
The location is fantastic.
The prices are very reasonable.
Since the condo is at the beach end of Bldg 1, it's about a 1-minute walk to the beach! Views from the lanai are great, with a partial view of the ocean, the beautiful lagoon next to the building, and the interior area of the resort with the pools, waterfalls, spas, poolside bar, and pool lounge area - the so-called "fun zone." It has a fantastic ambiance and beautiful views of the fun zone inside the room!

DO ALL THE UNITS HAVE A VIEW OF THE OCEAN?
No. While the resort is situated right on the beach, its shape is like a large "U" with the opening toward the beach and the pool area in the middle. Our unit is on the 2nd floor of Building 1, which is very close to the beach. It faces the interior pool area with a partial but very pleasant view of the ocean, the pools, waterfall, spas, and a lagoon next to the building. The Mountain View units face away from the beach or the interior area, and the Lagoon View units that have a view of the lagoon area are between the resort and the Kauai Beach Villa condos. Some units directly face the fields next to the property.

DOES THE UNIT HAVE A KITCHEN?
No. These were previously hotel rooms, so they do not have kitchens.

CAN I COOK IN THE UNIT?
No. Local fire ordinances do not allow cooking in the rooms. A microwave in the lounge area of the 5th floor of Building 2 can be used. We also replaced the mini-fridge with the unit to a 3.5 cubic foot fridge with plenty of room for sodas, fruit, sandwich meat, and that bottle of wine to sip on while sitting on the lanai enjoying the view.

DO I NEED A CAR?
I recommend that you have a rental car. While the resort has everything you need to relax and have a great time, a vehicle will allow you to take in the popular attractions and buy groceries, supplies, etc. There is an on-site Enterprise car rental agency if you want a car for a day, but the rates are far higher than renting at the airport. It's a viable option for a 1-day rental, though.

IS THERE FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE FROM THE AIRPORT?
No. Roberts Hawaii shuttles are available for very nominal rates. Call (808) 439-8800 when you arrive or make arrangements through their website (www.airportshuttlehawaii.com/shuttles/kauai). Uber and Lyft are also now operating on the island!

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN THE UNIT SLEEP?
This beautifully remodeled unit is for 4 guests

ARE THERE BEACH TOWELS TO TAKE TO THE BEACH?
Your stay includes free towels, which you can use at the pools or to take to the local beaches. However, you will be assessed a $25 fee if the towels are missing while the cleaning service performs the check-out cleaning fee.

WHAT IS THE RESORT'S BEACH LIKE?
The resort is located directly on a 3-mile stretch of beautiful beach, perfect for long walks. While the beach is scenic, it is not considered a swimmable beach as it has quite a bit of coral that can cut your feet. The surf can also be challenging for most. It has some sandy areas, but it's best to go to one of Kauai's famous beaches for swimming.

DOES THE RESORT CHARGE A RESORT / CHECK-IN FEE?
Yes. The resort does charge private owners a resort fee for each stay, and we charge a fee when you book. We pay this fee directly to the resort on your behalf when we send in the reservation. (Guests renting directly from the resort or retail travel sites pay a hefty daily resort fee in addition to a MUCH higher rental rate!)

DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A DAILY PARKING FEE?
Yes. If you have a car, the resort charges $35 /day for parking in their lot, which entitles you to the valet service. This fee is paid by the guest at check-in.

WHY DO THE RATES KEEP GOING UP?
The rates have been going up exclusively because our costs keep going up. Most of these increases are the property taxes for 2023/2024, which just went up 32% on this unit over the previous year! (The market price did not increase anywhere near that amount!) The association dues, utilities, maintenance rates, and insurance rates have also been on the rise.

WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THE "LODGING TAXES"!?
Hawaii likely has the highest lodging taxes in the country – and they've just got even higher! There are three separate taxes that visitors to Kauai must pay. First, the state charges Transient Accommodation Taxes (TAT) of 10.25% and 4.71% General Excise Tax (GET), which is a sales tax. The county of Kauai now charges its own 3% Transient Accommodation Tax (KTAT). While taxes are necessary, Hawaii seems to rely heavily on tax revenue. The high taxes are also meant to help address the issue of "over-tourism" in Hawaii.



DOES THE UNIT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING?
Yes. The unit has a central A/C.

WHAT FLOOR IS THE UNIT ON?
Ours is Unit #28 on the 2nd floor, Building 1 (Unit #1228), toward the end of the building closest to the beach. There are elevators to take you to the 2nd floor.

During your stay at this resort, you're just a quick walk from Kitchens Beach. Features include a gym and 1 hot tub.
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include a lift
  • On-site recreation includes a gym and a playground
  • Steps from Kitchens Beach and 9 minutes on foot from Nukolii Beach Park

Lovely Mom-Daughter Stay
My daughter and I enjoyed our stay in the beautifully remodeled unit at the Kauai Beach Resort. The unit has all the amenities you need, gorgeous flooring, very comfortable bed, and also includes beach supplies. We enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the pool area and it also had a lovely partial view of the ocean! I highly recommend you do the yoga class in the morning, it was a great day to start off the day!

Perfect spot, sweet pool and partial ocean views!
This room was exactly as described and more! Super clean, and very comfortable. It’s at the end of the hall, so a nice distance away from elevator and ice machine noises, and close to stairwell that pops right out near the jacuzzi and pool area, and a short walk to the sand. The host has gone above and beyond to provide all of the essentials including beach towels, chairs, a small cooler and an umbrella, plus pool towels. The room has a mini fridge, keurig machine, glassware and utensils. The Outrigger also offered lovely grounds, spa, gift shop (with mini Starbucks), restaurant, lounge and bar. Close to the airport and a perfect location for heading to all of the gem locations on this beautiful island. I’d be lucky to stay here again. Many Mahalos!!

Nice resort!
The resort is beautiful and the pools and jacuzzi were very enjoyable- the room was fine but there are a few things that were a bummer. The shutters to the patio squeal so horribly loud-the rail outside was very dirty from past guests(hair and oil and food) - the pillows were so big you couldn’t sleep with them just use them to lean on- there were no plastic cups (only glass) to use to bring water down to the pool area- you pay for parking but the secure lot was never secured -the coffee creamers were rotten- Over all the stay was fine but I’d say the owners need to actually come to the room and make sure things are working for the guest. It appears the hotel cleans the room after your stay. So for the cost I should have booked with the hotel not the VRBO.

Must stay
Fabulous location; in the middle of everything. Very comfortable bed, which is crucial to us. Very clean and resort was great. The pool is stunning. Beach is mediocre, but with as much as there is to do in Kauai; we didn’t need the beach. I definitely recommend renting an all terrain vehicle if you plan to do anything off the resort. Not an absolute necessity, but very helpful for some steep roads. We used Marc through Turo and had a great experience there too. Overall; one of the best trips of our lives and the resort made it very comfortable. The on-site dinner location (Shutters) always had available tables if we didn’t eat off resort for that night and the food was good and well priced.

Great Location
The listing on the site shows the property exactly as it is. It is clean and the bed is very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. We stayed 2 nights but with so many things to do we were only able to enjoy a 1/2 day at the pool, but it is lovely. Shutters Lounge was a nice spot to sit back in the evenings and enjoy the resort environment. A car is a must at this property if you want to enjoy the beauty of Kauai. Once I had booked the property Rick answered any and all of my questions. He also provided a lot of essential, good to know information and some great suggestions. Thanks, Rick, for helping our stay in Kauai be an enjoyable one.

Fun trip!
This resort was very nice. The room was a short walk to the beach, pool bar, pool and restaurants.. The restaurants also were yummy and fun- they have live music every night and dancers at the pool on the weekends! The property owner (Rick) went above and beyond accommodating my husband and myself. This was a family friendly resort, I would say 50% families and 50% couples. Pretty busy place. Lots of young children, making it hard to get a spot at the pool, but that was really okay with me since I’m not a “lay by the pool”person and would really prefer to sit by the ocean. Overall really enjoyed my stay, thank you Rick for being wonderful and accommodating !

Fantastic Resort, Room and Location
My wife and I absolutely loved the resort that this VRBO is a part of. We felt just like a guest at the resort. Amazing pools, modern classy interior with open air lobby. Great location only being less than 10 min from the airport and equidistant from north and west side of the island in Lihue. The room was perfect and had a fantastic view of the pool. Felt like you were right there. Great bar and food (although slightly overpriced, but most resorts are). We had a wonderful time and were close to several cities. Only small critique I would give is the beach wasn’t the best to go in the water or walk on, however, there’s a great beach less than a half mile away (as well as amazing beaches all over the island). Would go back in a heartbeat and had us interested in buying one of our own. Thank you Rick!
