Good to know

UPDATED FOR 2023 - We're excited to share that we've completely remodeled the primary bathroom in 2023. New tile on floors and walls, new vanity, and a new shower make this space much more inviting. We've also upgraded to a modern Air Conditioning system. Air Conditioning is now in both bedrooms and the living room, which allows you to cool and dehumidify the condo. The old window A/C units photographed have been removed. The Happy Turtle Condo is privately owned and managed, unlike many in this location. We take great pride in offering a modern, updated stay for our guests. You will be renting directly from the owners, and we will do everything we can to make your stay much more than comfortable! We have all of the essentials covered for you, with some added luxuries to beat your expectations!

House Rules

No smoking in the condo or on the lanai's. There are 3 designated smoking areas in the complex. Please make sure to read the additional house rules in the Happy Turtle Guidebook!

Other Details to Note

You will need to go down stairs in order to get into the condo. The condo itself is single-story, but is located downstairs in a private alcove. Kauai is known for it's roosters; if you are a light sleeper we recommend ear plugs, a sound machine, or embracing the roosters and enjoy the sunrise on the lanai!

Sara's unit was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We appreciated all the extras that came with the unit (beach chairs, water toys, aloe cream for after a day in the sun, etc), she provided things we didn't know we needed until we got there. Communication was excellent, we arrived after hours and her instructions took all the stress out of a late check-in. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

Sara was a great host! It was exactly how it was described and it was such a great location. Halfway between north and south shore. She had lots of recomendations and always there for support. Thank you so much will definitely consider again if we go to kauai again

Sara’s communication was great. Lots of amenities such as beach chairs, beach towels, spices in the kitchen and a great kitchen with pans and dishes as well. It was a good location. About half way between the north and south side of the island. Sara had many recommendations of local places and excursions as well. Very welcoming.

Really nice spot with plenty of space for our family. Walking distance to a few good places and a beach and great central location on the island. We had a great time, wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved everything about Sara & Keith’s place! It was spotless, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a great stay. The location is perfect only 5 minutes from the airport and an easy walk to Kalapaki Beach, plus excellent restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Sara was very responsive and incredibly helpful. Highly recommend staying here!
