We are a family of eight (three couples, an 11-year old and a 21-year old) who traveled to Kauai for eight days. We split our time between the North and South shore. This was one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in and we are seasoned travelers. When you enter the courtyard, it takes your breath away. The house itself is an eclectic combination of old Hawaii charm meets modern amenities with plenty of room for everybody. As other reviewers mentioned, our favorite feature was the glass doors that could be fully opened to the outside pool and garden. Several mornings and afternoons were spent sitting in the rocking chairs enjoying the tranquility and mountain views in the distance. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and we took several meals outside on the dining table that can be expanded to seat 10. Although, like most homes, there is no AC, the windows provided good airflow in the evening and we were comfortable for the most part. This house is perfectly situated in close proximity to Shipwreck Beach, Poipu Beach, the Mahaulepu Heritage Trail, and grocery stores. Additionally, it provided easy access to the West and East side of the island. We also enjoyed the refreshing pool at the end of a long-day of hiking or being at the beach. Two minor things to note: Young adults (college-aged) rented the property next to us. They were nice, but it sounded like Spring Break most evenings, which sometimes went beyond the 10pm quiet hour (minor drawback to having the windows open). Also, the couple who stayed in the upstairs guest house said the room never cooled off despite keeping the windows open and using the fans and the Murphy bed was not very comfortable. We still would not hesitate staying at this property again! Communications from Great Vacation were prompt and professional!
