The location here is good (10 min walk to Brennecke’s Beach; 15 mins walk to Shipwreck Beach), but it’s not as good as a place just a little farther northwest. Being down on the point is super windy, and there aren’t any beaches down there. Places closer to Brennecke’s Beach are less windy and the walk to the beach is flat. It’s somewhat of an uphill walk back to this place from the beach.
This condo unit is pretty basic. It has pretty much all you need but nothing extra. The main issue we had while there was the wind. When all the doors and windows were closed, the sliding glass door whistled constantly with the wind. The wind speeds were high the days we were there, but, given the location, the condo should be able to handle the wind, and it really can’t. The wind pretty much precluded us from enjoying the lanai.
Also, the temperatures at night (early July) were quite warm given that the condo does not have AC and is on the 3rd floor, and then there are 3 levels within the condo. If you’re traveling to Kauai during a hot time and can’t afford a place with AC, go with a ground floor condo instead.
We had our original accommodations cancelled on us last minute, so we were happy to find this place, and it worked just fine. But, had that not been the case, we probably wouldn’t have been super happy. This condo is for folks who want to accommodate the most people they can in one unit and save money. It’s good for that.
