This is the first time we've utilized Airbnb, and it was a pleasure to work with Milo, and kind of him to allow us the opportunity to stay in his home. It is beautiful, the location on the island itself is central to both the North and South, making it convenient to venture out on day trips.
There is a shopping center directly across the street, which was also convenient. Milo's description of the view was spot on. Beautiful mountain views. He also referenced the shopping center being located across the street. We found this to be very convenient. There may be some who might not want to have close access to these amenities, as there may be some traffic noise when sitting outside on the lanai. This was not something we gave notice to, however if that is a concern, this may not be the location for you.
The home was clean, and one could tell the hosts had considered their guests, providing not only basics such as dish and laundry soap, paper towels, hand soap and other necessities, but also beach chairs, a child's playpen (think that's what it was), a beach umbrella, restaurant suggestions, and even tools necessary for outdoor grilling in the pool area.
We had spent the first night at the Westin in Princeville, and reflected that the Waipouli resort was more accommodating in that the grills were located in closer proximity to the pools and hot tubs, enabling guests to continue to socialize outside while making dinner, the pools were nicer, and adults and their children could utilize the pool slides, as opposed to the Keiki slide/pool in Princeville. Waipouli seemed to be more conducive to groups of families, or multi-generational gatherings, which is what we noticed. At the same time, it was very relaxing to spend time in the pools, not loud, and we very much enjoyed spending time outside at the pools or on the beaches.
We very much appreciated the opportunity to enjoy Milo's home in Kauai, and for his hospitality. We would absolutely work with Mila and Theresa again.
Mahalo!
