A very nice place. The view from the back patio was great as we weren't staring out at another building. We had the ocean view though it was a football field distant. Nonetheless in between was a grassy area serving as the center of the complex of a couple dozen buildings. Well kept grounds. The place itself definitely had the flavor of a 4 star hotel room with nice kitchenette. Nothing to complain about at all and Barbara had plenty of beach stuff in the closet, including bags to carry stuff and cooler bags to keep food cold at the beach. If you are staying in Koloa this may be one of the best places to stay. The walk to the beach was a short easy walk and we had walking access to an entire stretch of half to full mile of beach. Across the street were shops and food. Market was a car ride but not an issue on Kauai. Overall, a great stay.
