Wow, I can still hear the soothing sounds of the waves crashing. A spectacular close-up view of the ocean/beach from the lanai/living room/kitchen. Most hotels do not have this kind of view or sounds of the surf....and certainly not at the reasonable rates for this fantastic condo rental. I am reluctant to share all the great things about this ground-floor unit because it will be booked fast...but I (sigh) will:
-View is INCREDIBLE....manicured foliage around unit, beach, crashing surf just yards away (to access the beach is just a short walk)
-Nice lanai with 4-chair table round and 2 tall bar-size chairs to sit at either of the bar-height shelves. We ate there everyday at least twice a day
-Thoughtfully stocked kitchen to cook, keep leftovers in fridge, make coffee....
-FREE wifi *note, I found wifi connection only in LR/Kitchen area (not on lanai, bathroom, bedroom)
-FREE expanded cable
-FREE parking (*note to register with onsite staff for parking pass)
-End unit, so no noisy neighbors on left side *we found other guests very nice and QUIET. Not a "party" condo, although you can BBQ at shared area,
-GORGEOUS pool....blue tiled all over pool floor with a cute turtle artwork on one end (*no spa but there are guest bathrooms in pool area)
-CONVENIENT access to beach but literally across the street is a gas/mart. bakeries, restaurants, and other retail. Short/easy drive to Lihue, downtown Kapa'a...as well as other destinations)
Sounds almost too good to be true but we both agreed we hope to be able to rent this unit again on our next visit to Kauai. Of course, this isn't perfect but just some minor things like an older bathroom/shower head, no central a/c but a lot of helpful ceiling fans and a/c unit in bedroom made for a cool retreat). Wonderful condo rental!
