While wonderfully furnished and right next to the beach, please know that the development was built in simpler times. The units are smaller and have kitchens to match. Some normal amenities will be absent given the space and purposeful attempt to honor the simplicity of earlier times: you won’t find a dishwasher or washing machine in any of the units (there is a laundry room on the premises), and most units have no televisions (though wifi is available for those of us who can't escape work or want to stream our favorite shows). As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned. This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down stairs. There are no elevators. Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party. Note: host requires all guests, whether they book directly or via a third party website, to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking.

Overall it was awesome: A few comments on the place.

Sliding glass doors would not lock
Front bathroom shower door does not latch
Window on the left of the sliding doors from inside are foggy and have moisture in them
Back bathroom door, the bottom of the door is splintering

These are just a few things to look at. Overall, we had a great experience in the condo.

This location is spectacular… It is one of the most forward facing units with a water view and great access to tunnels and Ke’i. There was construction in an adjoining unit for part of our stay, which was a bummer… Lots of noise. Had we known about this in advance we either could’ve rebooked or just known that was going to to be the case and planned to be out. It may very well be that the property management company did not know this in advance, but this speaks to the need for better communication between the resort and property management for this particular unit. The highest class customer service would offer a discount, not just give the token apology, but that was not forthcoming! Otherwise it’s just what you want for low-key relaxation and Hawaiian Bliss, but do not want a TV or a splashy interior. This is a cabin-ish vibe with some resort amenities, but you come for the view and the proximity to everything magical about Kauai!
