This home is ideal for a single traveler - or perhaps an intrepid couple - looking for basic accommodations and who doesn't mind being in the back harbor area of Lihue. The home is located in a local, residential area so you will not have the security of being in or near a resort. The property is clean and the A/C works well in the bedroom. If you leave the door open it will cool the house during at night, but the unit is not large enough to keep the house cool during the day/evening.
There is a small kitchen with some basic items for cooking simple meals (pasta, soup, eggs, etc...) but nothing more than that. The living room furniture is not well thought out. Instead of a 2-person love seat and a large fake tree, there should be a larger and more comfortable couch. Also, I don't think the TV is a "Smart TV" and it did not appear to have the proper connection for a Roku device, so we were stuck with some regular cable stations and that's it. There is a small area to sit out front on the porch but there is no view and there was a very foul smell which appeared to come from nearby and was worse at night.
About halfway through the trip the smell was getting worse and we finally had to check out when we began noticing the smell inside the house. There are beach towels and a cooler but no beach chairs. I would recommend keeping beach chairs for guests out back near the washer/dryer.
Overall: this wasn't the right place for us - but if you are looking for budget accommodations on Kauai, have a rental car, and have an open mind then it may be OK for you.
