Just as others have said, the photos do not do this place justice. This condo has one of the best views on the island—ocean, waves hitting the coral just below you, beautiful tropical landscaping, Bali Hai and part of Hanalei Bay. Nenes roam the grass below you. Watching the sunset from the large balcony was a highlight of nearly every day.
The condo itself is spacious with vaulted ceilings, big master and living room with newer furnishings. It is well equipped and we appreciated the WiFi and free Netflix and Amazon since we were there throughout tropical storm Irene and it rained a lot.
George was communicative throughout the Hurricane Watch and several people who watch over the place made sure we were comfortable while the island prepared — Lizzie the cleaner even offered to put us up if we needed to evacuate.
We have spent a lot of time on Kauai and have stayed in the west, south, east and north, and we are even house hunting there now. Pali Ke Kua (the condo complex) is hands down our favorite condo — besides the location it has a nice pool, an onsite pizza pub and paved access to a little beach where you can snorkel or just float in a protected little pocket of ocean.
We weren’t expecting air conditioning and didn’t miss it, never had an issue with parking and the place was very quiet until a big, loud group moved in downstairs—but that just comes with the territory. The place was sparkling clean too which I really appreciated.
