Karl and Rachel sent clear directions and itinerary prior to our arrival. They provided us with a clean place, amenities you don't think of prior to reservations, laundry soap, dish soap, etc...The deck was where we spent most of our time. It has a great view of the south and a wonderful sunset every night. There are fans in the home that made it cool at night, along with the lenai (sp). The location of the condo is in a high end area with many resorts. Sand Piper had more of a local feel, in which we met long time residents that lived on site. We liked this aspect and didn't feel apart from the Kauai culture but embraced by it. Highly recommend.
