Overall, we really loved our stay here! There were only a few minor discrepancies that we ran into (a little miscommunication with the check-in time, dryer wasn't working, sofa bed was broken, locks on the front door were finicky). Other than that, the condo was very pleasant to stay at.
This is our 5th visit to Kauai in the last 7 years, and most of the vacation rentals we've stayed at have the old school feel to them. This condo is more modern, and although there is no AC, the wind flow is amazing. There was really nothing quite like walking up to the condo after a hot day and feeling the wind tunnel effect between the buildings. Once you got inside and opened up the back door, the breeze flew throughout the condo. It was so strong it could open up the door to the master bedroom if it wasn't locked.
Also, it was a huge plus to have Lydgate park just a 15 minute walk down the path behind the condo. The waters were rough on the shore directly behind us, but Lydgate has a nice protected cove. Just watch out for jellyfish.
This was really the perfect location, as it was only 5-15 minute drive to all our favorite restaurants in Lihue and Kapa'a. The Sleeping Giant trail is a hike that's less than 10 minutes away. Snorkling in Poipu or shopping at Old Koloa Town are only about 30 minutes away. Our favorite beach, Hanalei Bay, is only 45 minutes away.
Also, the kitchen is fully equipped. We cooked breakfast one morning and then used the BBQ across the parking lot on our last night there.
If you love the ocean breeze, the sound of the waves crashing along the shore, and watching the chickens roam the grassy fields, this is the place for you.
