This was by far THE BEST place we have ever stayed in our 18 years of return trips to Kauai! The condo is incredibly stylish, clean, comfortable, updated and exactly as described. It’s also perfectly appointed with less than a 1 minute walk across the lush lawns to the beach and a 3 minute walk to the athletic club, restaurants and shops. We also liked how close we were to the laundry building. We found the bed to be so comfortable and were glad that our 3 kids found the queen sleeper sofa and pull out mini twin (good for kids around 16 and younger) comfortable. We loved sitting out on the lanai watching the birds and enjoying the wonderful smell of the plumeria tree. We also appreciated that the lanai lead directly to the lawns and beach, allowing our kids instant access to go out and play and easily go in and out from the beach. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need to cook, including sharp chef knives which is a must in my book. The beach equipment was a major perk. We snorkeled and boogie boarded daily. Evenings watching the sunset from the lawn while the kids swam in the ocean were magical. Now on to the host! Merris is a Superhost for a reason! She had the perfect balance of communication. She responded immediately to any questions we had before and during our stay, checked in on us promptly after checkin, midway and before checkout to make sure we were taken care of and happy. She also provides a house manual and island guide with super helpful tips and recommendations that we found to be spot on. We were so happy with our experience that we booked both this condo AND Merris’ other condo at Kiahuna for my parents when we visit next year!
