Great location, close to beach and walking distance to restaurants. Has laundry and plenty of beach chairs and toys. One side lacks an oven so if you aren't renting both sides this could be a problem. One side had a main room AC not working, though a portable one was brought over late in the stay. The VRBO listing needs to be updated because futons are not available in the master bedroom on the B side. The pull out couches lack comfortable mattresses. However, it was beautiful to wake up to the ocean everyday!

We had a wonderful stay on Kauai! The place was perfect for our family/friends. It was a little outdated but for being by the ocean and beach, it was expected. Fun time!

Arrived about a half hour after check in time. Suzanne and cleaning crew were still there finishing up. Units smelled very strong of Lysol and cleaning solutions. After the family arrived (8 total), we found that all our feet and socks were blackened by the dirty floors. We all took off shoes when entering! We commenced to clean the floors with Swifters that were in the closets, so that helped. Overall the units were clean but somewhat dated. Needed new paint and some drywall fixing from past leaks. The upper bedrooms were roomy but disappointing since there were no blinds on the large windows, so no blocking of afternoon sun and morning light. The bedroom and bath windows were glass louvers from the 60's that did not close properly. Therefore the bathrooms were always hot, and could hear everything from outside. Airplanes, roosters, LOL. We slept with eye blinds and ear plugs as needed. Kitchen appliances were updated and had newer comfortable furniture downstairs. Had all the cooking utensils needed. Even a rice cooker! Had ample beach toys in closets which were a plus. Also left a few others for the next guests! We stayed a couple days at the Royal Sonesta before checking in, and found that using their amenities during the condo stay was no problem. We enjoyed our stay and the location near restaurants and shopping. Dukes has great food and drinks, and Sonesta pool bar had happy hour every day that was a plus. Overall, would stay here again in beautiful Kauai!

Overall the property was beautiful- beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The flexibility of choosing multiple units worked for our larger party. The condo was stocked with supplies for both the beach and the unit. The location was great- central to the island, close to the airport. There was some general wear and tear that needed repair. We would return without question in the future.

Steps away from the beach, ample space, unbeatable view. Easy check in and great communication.

This was the perfect place to stay for our family vacation. With four bedrooms and two pull out couches, it slept the 10 of us easily. Plenty of room for us to be all together and at the same time have our own space. Loved having two kitchens and the four bathrooms were a lifesaver. We found the unit spotlessly clean and we had all the amenities required to cook our own meals. The location is perfect, views to the bay awesome, plenty of parking, trash picked up daily. Communication easy, as was check-in and check-out. If you have a large group as we did, we highly recommend this location.

Roomy and comfortable. We loved sitting on the deck watching the surfers. We even caught a rainbow on morning after a short rain shower. Beautiful!
