We found this studio condo very comfortable with all the amenities we required, including beach chairs for off-site beach visits. Moreover, we found the location of the unit, and of the Islander complex itself, to be absolutely ideal.
The view from the unit's 2nd floor lanai really is as shown on the listing, and we preferred the privacy over 1st floor units (which have their own benefits). It overlooks the Islander's beautiful central garden area. The hottub, pool, and poolside, bar are on the other side, with the beach just on the other side of the pool - great view. The Islander provides lounge chairs on the beach as well as the pool area, not all resorts do.
The Islander complex has a wonderful beach, offers lots of shade trees, and because of its location is never crowded. The restaurants on both sides of the Islander, which has none, are very good and oceanside. The Islander is behind the Coconut Marketplace (you would not know it when at the Islander), which is very convenient for food, shave ice, and shoping, and places the Islander away from the highway - a problem for some Kapa'a resorts. While the Islander and the unit is a bit dated, nothing is shabby - the Islander is well maintained - and it reminds us of "old Hawaii" - low-key and lovely. We prefer Kapa'a to other towns because of its central location on the island and "old beach town" feel.
Our review is glowing because we genuinely enjoyed the whole place. We obviously recommend this unit.
