You know a vacation is amazing when you aren't too fazed by the idea of a natural disaster striking! We would have been happy to stay at Sugar Sands as long as needed following Hurricane Lane. The condo exceeded our expectations. The location was wonderful--we walked to the nearby beaches (Shipwreck, Brenneke and Baby) daily, and took full advantage of all the area had in store. We loved having breakfast on the Lanai and all of the appointments and amenities in the condo made it feel like our home away from home. We traveled with 2 adults and 3 kids (5, 7 and 9) and we all loved our "Hawaii house". The set up was perfect. The HUGE washer was a bonus, and the fans and sliding doors made us comfortable even without the A/C.
William, our host, was also a highlight of the trip. This was our first airbnb experience, and we couldn't have been happier with the smooth experience. William is a pleasure to work with from start to finish--responsive, accommodating and flexible--and we appreciate the care he showed us during the blip with the hurricane. And it was comforting knowing that there is a caretaker on-call should we need anything locally.
We have already recommended Sugar Sands to two families, and hope that we can return again soon. I can see why one would buy a condo in Kauai--you can't help but relax and unwind while on the island.
