Sublime views. Serene surroundings. Surreal beauty. Having visited Kauai numerous times, this is without a doubt the BEST Airbnb we’ve ever experienced on the island. It’s more beautiful than the photos and the location is perfect so I won’t say much more about things we already know. As an Airbnb host myself with consistent 5-star reviews, I will instead elaborate on the finer details that pragmatic travelers would appreciate:
1) Beds: mattresses had varying degrees of softness and firmness, allowing people the option to choose their Goldilocks bed. 3 out of the 4 bedrooms had king size beds.
2) Ample bath and beach towels
3) Kitchen is the BEST EQUIPPED and MOST ORGANIZED and CLUTTER-FREE kitchen in an Airbnb I’ve ever seen. This deserves TEN STARS.
4) Cleanliness standards, inside and outside the house, were top notch, even for OCD people like me
5) This is an older plantation-style home yet the owners spared no expense in remodeling/designing it. You can tell they had a generous budget and thus emphasized style and comfort. Rooms are well-appointed, furniture is well curated, most of the art on the walls are original paintings. On top of all that they have managed to balance comfort and taste without making the house feel too precious such that nobody can relax—this house feels like home, you can instantly ease into it upon walking inside.
The only tip I’d suggest to future travelers is to bring your house slippers. For those with sensitive feet and need support, it will be difficult to walk on the hardwood floors all week without clean indoor shoes.
