Top things that matter to me in a vacation home:
1) Cleanliness
2) Ease of Use
3) Functionality
Sarah's place met all of my expectations and exceeded them. The place was spacious, kitchen had all the gadgets needed, the living space was opening and welcoming. Everything worked and the host was very responsive when we needed a few questions answered. The walls are half vented screens, so expect that the place won't exactly be totally sound proof. However, you'll get the fresh, lovely Hawaiian air flowing through all day! Loved the little touches, like key box (to ease anxiety over lost keys! etc), multiple sets of thick beach towels, snorkels and fins, Kauai guidebook, games and cards etc.
We had our wedding and honeymoon in Kauai and Sarah's place was the perfect nest to come home to after a day's worth of adventures. Thank you!
