My husband and I had a great stay at Margaret's studio. Before we even got there, Margaret sent us some nice suggestions for activities and places to eat during our stay. The property was exactly as described and very clean. It provide a perfect base from which to explore Kauai. It was so nice to have a full kitchen during our vacation so we did not have to eat every meal in a restaurant. We also did a great deal of hiking and could prepare packed lunches for the trial. There are coin operated laundry facilitates on site, and it was nice to be able to wash our mud and sand covered clothes before packing them to return home. We dealt mostly with Ida and she was friendly and very helpful. We flew in a little late in the evening and she was willing to meet us with the keys and make sure that we were settled. They even provided some fruit and breakfast supplies. It was an incredibly nice gesture. We loved that the property was just a 2 block walk to the beach. As others have stated, you will be woken up by chickens in the mornings, but that seems to be the case absolutely everywhere on Kauai. All the complex residents we interacted with were nice and the complex is quiet (besides the chickens). We would certainly stay here again if we returned to Kauai.
