The place was as described with a nice view of the ocean to one side and the pool (behind landscaping) to the other side. We really liked being on the ground floor so we could walk out to the pool, etc. straight from the lanai. A common sitting area overlooking the ocean is just a few steps away. It’s a great place to look at the stars/sunrise/sunset or look for whales. Parking was easy. The beach is within walking distance but far enough that we drove days we brought chairs and umbrellas (provided in the condo). The A/C for the master bedroom is mounted in the living room, so the big sliding doors to the bedroom need opened to get the full effect of the A/C. This was not an issue for us - just mentioning for awareness. We would definitely stay here again. Really loved the condo and Kauai.
