Was an ideal place to stay and explore the north end of Kauai, which has plenty to offer in sights and activities. Justified to make it an extended stay. All said, I found this unit price to value to be appropriate. Add on fees such as cleaning seemed reasonable and on par to lower than other listings in the area. Would gladly give this stay a go again. Views from condo sold me and lived up to listing image expectations, and superb weather was certainly icing on the cake. You have the convenience to open slider onto the patio/grass and step out for a status check on the sunset at any point with food or homemade cocktail in hand. Maybe you’ll catch a green flash sunset like I did. Explore the extended grass lawn on the bluff to the right of the unit too - seems to extract other sunset onlookers as well, so meet and great with other residents/vacationers. Patio table/chairs and lounge chair were perfect for the space and in great condition. Accordingly the unit is situated on a bluff, thus you will need to take the paved community path down to the beach. Though the winding path can be steep in places and possibly a challenge for some coming back up, the pictures are accurate. Travel light to beach or pack enough gear/food for a longer stay - avoid any unnecessary trips back and forth and remember you have to haul it back up. Your cell phone light comes in handy at dusk along the path, also useful for navigating around a couple of frogs/toads akin to game of ‘frogger’. Unit has chairs, towels, and other beach gear for your use if needed - see listing details or contact owner for more details, but could be a perk for you on items you can skip packing for trip or buying upon your island arrival. New bathroom shower/tile looks superb and I saw no issues with screens on sliding door or windows. No issues with bugs or critters here - in tropical climates don’t leave screen doors open and be mindful of food residue left on counters or accidentally dropped on floor. Be clean and you should be fine. Rest of condo layout is great with family room furniture and TV - family room seating for 5 via couch and chairs. Kitchen has 4 person dining table alcove that is water facing and views on all sides if blinds are up. Didn’t need it, but couch appears to fold out to a hide-a-bed for more sleeping accommodation. Bathroom is through the sole main bedroom, which could be a negative if you have sleepers in both bedroom and family room - seems like it could be small family friendly though. From what I could tell, kitchen appeared to have most needs met if you’re looking to spend time on cooking your own meals. Hideaway Pizza restaurant is literally a 3 minute walk from the unit - pizza is amazing after a day at the beach or hiking (bar area and table dining). Gated outdoor pool/hot tub facility is located next to Hideaway Pizza as well. For the more adventurous, take short 5-7 min drive to Happy Talk for cocktails, pub food, and live music or sports viewing on TV. Foodland Grocery is close by too and does have some quick and easy grab and go meals, respectable quality sushi included. All appliances I used worked without issue, but the small stacked dryer did need several rounds to get items adequately dry. As such, give yourself ample time on check out day if doing laundry. Perhaps try keeping laundry loads on the smaller side. Lastly, navigating the community can take some trial and error - signs are pretty clearly marked, but may be a challenge to see at night. Finding the appropriate building wasn’t hard, but know you need to take the lower not upper path to get to ground floor unit. Take some time to explore and familiarize yourself - path to hideaway beach is near building 1-2. Parking wasn’t an issue at all for me. Occasionally you might catch some next door unit neighbor noise on the left, not sure if walls are on thinner side or if they were just a little loud at times. If looking to party with loud music or TV during the day or late into the night, this may not be the best choice for you per guidelines. Perma residents do live in the condo complex. For the noise respectful, you should be just fine assuming the neighbors do the same for you. Enjoy the stay if you book it! I’ll be looking to return some day.
