Bottom Line Up Front:
The condo was beautiful, the views were great (as pictured), and the host was very friendly and responsive to my communications both before and during the stay. However, the motor sound coming from the top of the fourth floor of the H building ruined an otherwise perfect experience.

The Condo:
Very modern, spacious, well-renovated condo...this thing was done right. Beds and pillows were very comfy. Brand new, stainless steel appliances. All the standard kitchen utensils/supplies available. Bathrooms were huge, nice glass surround showers, large tubs, and nice soaps/shampoos provided. Granite counters throughout the kitchen and baths. Three balconies with good quality, heavy duty sliding doors and screens (almost no noise could be heard from the pool/bar area), with eastward facing view of Kauai sunrises as well as the entire pool area.

The Resort:
Easy, central location about 15 minutes from the airport. The grounds are well kept, the pool is very large with two water slides and three hot tubs, and the beach was pretty quiet (at least when we were there in September) although a bit rough for swimming/snorkeling. No points deducted for that since this is the east coast and we expected it. We didn't eat there, but the on-site bar/restaurant, Oasis, has a pretty decent happy hour with occasional live music. One negative was that some of the stucco on the exterior of the condo buildings was coming off. I imagine this is a constant maintenance issue being right on the coast...not that big of a deal assuming they don't let it get worse.

The Host:
Joshua was super responsive via AirBnB messenger/emails. Very friendly, knows the island since he lives there. Helped us with a late checkout. He didn't respond back to our inquiry on the issue below, but he said he'd look into it.

Now, for the only reason this got 3 stars instead of 5...
We were on the go most of the day exploring the island, so our primary purpose with this condo was to sleep. The only problem with that was the top floor of H building had this pulsing motor sound above our heads the entire stay (very similar to what can be heard here: https://youtu.be/6YA1t2vlN9U?list=PLsO8fxO6PnRfGUc0Td1lFXVnnq_Jn455U). You could hear it through the whole hallway and condo. It was tolerable during the day when we had other noises to help drown it out, but at night became very obvious and obnoxious. It might not bother some, but we had to sleep with ear plugs in every night to counter it.

We were really disappointed because we loved everything else about the place. We know that it's probably not the condo owner's fault (it's not the condo A/C btw), but it's definitely a deal breaker if you can't actually sleep in a place that you're paying lots of money to sleep. I hope the property owners can get it fixed in the future, but I wouldn't stay there again unless they did.
