Island Rentals Property Management is under new ownership (since 2018). It's actually changed…read morehands a few times since we have been with them as landlords, and we love the new owners. Sarah is very hands on, proactive, attentive to detail and yet still keeps an eye on the bottom line. She has previous extensive property management experience and works hard to keep her units taken care of. Jamey handles maintenance and rehab work. He is also very attentive to detail and plans ahead for ways to make future needed maintenance easier as well. We found out a few months ago that a lot of maintenance had been deferred for years plus our unit had a lot of annoying issues (who wants to sit on a rocking toilet?!). They want to help keep our unit in great shape, so our renters are happy, and so that our investment is taken care of and lasts. And, we want that, too. They came up with a plan and estimates. Both Sarah and Jamey were great to work with. We ended up doing a partial rehab, but the place looks better than when we had bought it. They helped a lot with picking out new flooring, new paint, and other things like faucets and sinks that honestly we didn't have much prior experience with. Sarah was great about keeping me in the loop by texting, calling, or emailing me to let me know the status of projects/issues (as is typical with rehabs, things didn't always go according to plan). She also sent pictures and videos of the issues, so we could understand the need to tweak our original plan as well as pictures/videos of the finished work (the flooring looks amazing!!!). Because the rehab was not planned for, both of them found creative ways to help us stay at or below our budget which we really appreciated. Everyone who has seen our unit loves it! I highly recommend Island Rentals whether you are a owner or renter!

we stayed at Lae Nani condos, unit 331 in Kauai. We have stayed there for over 20 years and in…read morethis unit many times. Blue Jade bought the business about two years ago from a gentlemen who had handled the rentals at Lae Nani for many years. The unit has gone way downhill since the last time around 2 years ago when we were there. The front lanai had sand all over it, front picture window had something sticky on it, the front bedroom windows were absolutely filthy with dirt and bird stuff, along with the screen having a big tear. But the major issue was the bedroom lanai where pigeons had been roosting and the lanai had pigeon stuff all over. It appeared someone had tried to sweep it but this was months of dried up nasty stuff that had seeped into the deck. With the bedroom slider opened it smelled like a barn in the bedroom. I cleaned everything including scrubbing the bedroom lanai so we could have the door opened. At $500+ a night this seemed like something I shouldn't be doing. Just before we left I contacted Blue Jade to let them know the issues with the condo and asked to speak to Tina. She never responded! This is not a good organization, they are not taking care of their rentals and do not care about their customers. There are several better vacation rental agencies to choose from and you should do so.

I rented Lae Nani 331 from Blue Jade in January 2026 and had a fabulous experience. Tina Funk and…read morethe others who work for Blue Jade are responsive and helpful. I've rented from them several times over the years and have no complaints. Lae Nani condo complex is aging and is still my favorite place to stay on Kauai. the grounds are immaculate, filled with tropical flowers and plants that rival any botanical garden. look close and you'll see tiny colorful lizards flitting about. Unit 331 has corner picture windows that provide a panaramic view of ocean and beach from the living room. we hosted family dinners on our balcony most nights of our two week stay. the master bedroom balcony is small and separated from the bigger balcony. there's another medium size balcony at the front door that overlooks the swimming pool and grills. yes, pigeons roost on the small master balcony. that was not a big issue for us. the perks of the Lae Nani location more than made up for it. we start every morning there taking a short 100' walk to the beach in front of the Lava Lava Beach Club to watch sunrise. after that we walk to our choice of coffee and bakeries. another short walk away is Coconut Grove Marketplace with farmers market twice a week, shave ice and a bicycle rental shop with easy access to the islands 12 mile pathway. imagine riding your bike along the beach and spotting for whales at the same time. I highly recommend renting from Jade Rental to enjoy the paradise that is Lae Nani.

I went there and looked at…read morethe condo and in the first 5 minutes I knew I wanted to buy it and had to make an offer immediately. So who to call will answer the phone immediately. Moksha was first on my mind because I used her previously and her services were prompt, clear, impeccable, explanation of every detail, and immediate. Moksha answered my phone call immediately, and to make a long story short the sale happened. I requested to make an offer and noted some things need to be updated. Moksha communicated with the seller's agent promptly and the offer was placed. Throughout the entire process Moksha was attentive and gave immediate attention to every question we had about the condo and closing. It was a tremendous help, especially since my husband had many many questions, and she responded immediately to whatever came from the seller, seller's agent, or the title company. We are extremely pleased with Moksha's service she provided throughout the entire process with a great deal of knowledge in real estate regarding approach ??? buyer, seller, and escrow/title company. We also were very relaxed while working with Moksha. Her attitude, communication, always came with a smile. Very comforting when investing in a large purchase. Moksha you did not sway from gracefulness, professionalism and knowledge, just like the very first time you helped us to buy a house here in Princeville. Definitely one of the best real estate agents to work with. We have been buying property for 20 years and we do know the difference between the good and the best.

She knows a ton about the HI market, and never once gave us bad information. She worked on our behalf tirelessly, on and off of business hours. She negotiated a great discount off of list price for our family. She taught us a lot about how to see value in homes in HI (it's different from the mainland!) and gave us great market insights in both Kauai and Oahu. Moksha's thoroughness, commitment, integrity, bubbly demeanor, negotiation chops and flat out refusal to quit make her a gem of a person not just as a realtor but also as a person. We would want her on our team forever if we could have it our way- but we're glad she's moving on to do the same for the next family that she did for our family. We can't express our gratitude enough for the commitment and integrity Moksha showed us. She's earned every positive thing people (and we) have to say about her.

Pane Road Hale review. Everything went well with our rental…read morewith Kauai Vacation rentals. As for our rental it was very nice. Old with a very outdated kitchen but is was perfect for a family of 5 including older kids. It was close enough to the beach to walk and there were plenty of chairs and boogie boards in the garage. The one thing I liked most was the openness of the house and there was a nice breeze all day and night. - If you're not fussy and looking for a convienient location at a value, this rental will work for you. - Chickens wake up early and will be in your backyard.

This company ruined my wedding and honeymoon after they blatantly lied to me about a location they…read moremanaged on AirBNB. I checked in with them three weeks prior to my departure and only three days after Typhoon Lowell to check if there was any damage to the property so I could make other arrangements if needed. They said none of their properties were damaged including the one I booked, but cancelled my reservation without any notice for 10 people the night before my wedding and barely 48 hours before my flight for my honeymoon in Kauai citing there was damage and the location was no longer habitable (bug infested, leaking roof and mold). THIS COMPANY LIES!! And even worse, when I confronted them on it, they offered no other locations that could meet my needs - only an offer to stay at the damaged location (with no discount) or to stay at another location that only covered four of the seven days we would be there leaving us without accommodations for half of our trip. No equivalent properties were available given the short notice, and the closest I could find required me to pay $2600 more. I asked them if they would cover the difference and they refused to cover ANY OF IT. They left me to fend for myself with no help and no remorse. Avoid this company at all costs or they might do the same to you. BUYER BEWARE!!!!
