My wife and I booked the Kauai condo at nearly the last minute. It turned out to be a great location for us and our activities during our stay. We had to move to a different unit for our last two days, but we were well informed this may be necessary. Both units were very clean, however, they could use a little updating-especially in the kitchens-old cabinet doors wouldn't stay closed. Having access to the Resort and Spa next door was very helpful. A restaurant walking distance allowed us both to relax and enjoy our time in Hawaii. Others have discussed the ever-present roosters crowing. Indeed they were there, but they didn't keep us awake.
I am still a bit unclear how the booking worked. It appears there are companies representing property owners or timeshare owners that make the connection using Airbnb for the condo stay. Desi is not an onsite property manager. She was good to deal with, but a different experience for me booking through sites like this. I am used to dealing directly with the property owner and knowing details such as if we will have an ocean front view, versus having that be a request to be addressed at check-in. All in all, we had a good stay and clear communication with Desi.
