"Absolutely beautiful—period. I would definitely stay here again. Iso Castle offers a peaceful, beach-cabin–like experience that is all about location, quiet, and natural beauty. We stayed in December and loved falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing and waking up every morning to a stunning sunrise over the ocean. The views are truly unforgettable. This is not a luxury or fancy property, and that’s part of its charm. Don’t expect a kitchen—there isn’t one—but there is a fridge, and everything was very clean and well maintained. The balcony experience was a highlight for us and added so much to the stay. I highly recommend booking a premium oceanfront room if possible. Rooms 233 and 234 are exceptional. A couple of practical notes: there is no elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs. The only downside was the service from one staff member at reception on Christmas Day 2024. She seemed quite grumpy and unhelpful, particularly when we asked to have our towels replaced, which was disappointing given an otherwise lovely stay. Overall, Iso Castle is a beautiful, quiet oceanfront retreat. If you value views, serenity, and a relaxed beach atmosphere, this place is well worth it. "

"We (family of four) had the best stay at Kauai Shores over the week of Christmas! It is accurately represented by the pictures and details given. The grounds were impeccably kept, our room (with a kitchenette) was clean and suited our needs, but the best part was the hard-working staff. They were always friendly and approachable, and they went above and beyond to ensure guests had a pleasant stay. The location is excellent because you can walk to restaurants and bakeries, and there is a good-sized ABC grocery store too. I would absolutely stay here again. "
