While the house, grounds, and neighborhood is beautiful, BEWARE as the house only has A/C in two rooms! The master bedroom and kitchen are the only spaces in the house air conditioned. It did not say this on the original listing, as that would have 100% been a deal breaker when my group was booking for five nights at the end of August. Those details have has since been modified in the listing.
We were seeking a pool (check), beds for everyone (check), and A/C. The original posting said the house had A/C. HA! I suppose that's the truth, there was A/C, but only in two spaces. And the house is nearly 3,000 sq ft... and located on the humid island of Kauai. Sure the trade winds were not blowing when we visited and it was a hot summer, but being 450+ yards from the ocean and surrounded by tall, lush greenery, the breeze isn't going to make it all the way to Makana Kauai most of the time. A visit in February may be tolerable. The guests who were staying in two of the bedrooms ended up sleeping on the living room couch (thank goodness it's large) because it was adjacent to the kitchen where the upstairs A/C unit was located.
I will say, the kitchen was extremely well stocked, but cooking only made the upstairs that much hotter. In fact, it would be 80+ degrees outside and we'd find that opening some windows actually cooled the house down. Yikes. If A/C units were located in each bedroom (all four sleeping rooms are downstairs) and the upstairs had a unit in the living room, it would have been a perfect five star house.
