This was the first airbnb rental I've experienced, and it worked out so well, that I will definitely plan on returning to Kauai to stay at Lyle and Vivian's beautiful condo again.
Lyle and Vivian were very easy to contact and responded back to my emails and texts promptly. They were very flexible with our late night flight arrival and departure and even accommodated a last minute request to prolong our check-out.
The condo is close to the airport, across from the beach, and near all the fun shops and cafe's.
The condo decor is Island style, modern up-to-date, beautiful tile bathroom and shower, comfy beds and was fresh and clean upon our arrival. We were welcomed with complimentary toiletries, recreation guide books (with some highlights marked for us), and treats! It has a fully stocked kitchen with all the utensils and baking/cooking appliances you would need. We made good use of the kitchen, thanks to the daily farmer's markets near by. There were plenty of fresh bath and beach towels, ceiling fans, A/C, (which we rarely used), a laundry facility down the hall, full security, easy check-in, heated pool and hot tub just steps away off the private back patio, and food and drug stores within walking distance. We ran out of time before we ran out of things to do. I highly recommend staying at Lyle and Vivian's Condo in Kauai.
