Wow this place is as new and pristine and gorgeous as expected. Quiet neighborhood right around the corner from quietly bustling hubs around Poipu. The local surf shop, local Hawaiian Puka dog hot dogs, the outdoor shopping area by the rotary, the Poipu beach and other landmark must visits. Def the hood to be in on Kauai. We did a 3 fam family reunion in Kauai and had been to Hawaii several times growing up but never Kauai. It’s my fav island now. 6 min drive to gourmet dining options including massages and restaurants at local big hotels like the Hyatt.
Only issue and why we might not book here again is just the management company’s ability to resolve problems before we left like the kitchen lights not working which was tough for a family of 11 and the chef catering dinners, for 14 straight days. No lamps were brought over and no resolution was ever created. I’m sure this will be fixed by the time you stay but for us it didn’t happen during the stay unfortunately for the chef and my elderly parents at night, though the electrician did come by. Secondly, there was only one smaller than what were used to, curbside trash can for the week and when the trash truck unfortunately passed ours by without emptying it (we stood and watched in our excitement to see the can emptied as it was piling up), the trash bags piled up and we weee asked by the host to just leave it on the ground next to the house. They would come pick it up but it took a few days for concierge or housekeeping to come by and get the extra bags of trash. We feared animals would tear into it and then have to clean up the yard. You’ll probably needed 2 full sized cans per week for a house with 4 bedrooms (7 ppl stayed in the house). Granted it was Dec 18-jan 2, perhaps the holidays were the reason but for the cost and how gorgeous the home was, it was incongruent with the expectations set. Also bring your own soaps (hand soaps ie not provided and there are 4/5 sinks/bathrooms) and you may need to buy toiletpaper. We ran out after a few days there was not enough stocked.
Seems like it was run by a large management agency I didn’t get personalized attention like we did at the other property we had during the stay.
