The condo was exactly as shown. The layout with one bedroom / ensuite bath on each level was great for travelling with an older child and would be ideal for two couples travelling together. We also really liked the little workspace and reading nook upstairs. There was also a lot of beach gear available for our use. We did not use the pool.
The condo complex as a whole is very well maintained and has beautiful views. The condo faces east; sunset views are just steps away on the other side of the buildings.
The best part of the complex was the "guests only" paved path down to a little beach. This was my favorite beach on Kauai because I liked the combination of sand and rocks, but mostly because of all of the marine life we could see in the rocky part of the beach - schools of little fish, various crabs. One day a monk seal beached itself while we were there (If this happens, give it space) and another day we saw a zebra moray eel among the rocks. It may have been the weather, but not infrequently we had the beach to ourselves or with just one other family or couple.
Speaking of the weather, our visit coincided with Hurricane Lane passing by the islands. The Owner and Property Manager were great to work with as we considered how that might affect our plans. While we didn't need to use them, we appreciated that the condo had flashlights in each bedroom and an emergency kit. The Property manager was very good about communicating weather conditions and road closures, but also activities that were taking place on the island.
Lastly, he local rooster population was minimal which was good for our sleeping.
We hope to return sometime when there are no hurricanes in the vicinity!
