THE VIEW IS EVERYTHING! We went across three islands and people consistently rated "the Kauai house" as the top rated experience on our trip. Somehow the pictures don't do the view justice. We watched sunset every night and it was great to see stars (something we don't get much at home). It is a beach house, and could use some updates, but it was great for our large family (though you will need to wash the forks more than once a day because there are not many) and we would come back in a heartbeat.
