The beachfront aspect of this condo is amazing. It was comfortable and had all the basics we needed. Like most homes on Kaua'i, air conditioning is not really used or needed. There is a unit but it won't cool down the whole condo. Note that the kitchen does not have a dishwasher so you will be hand washing everything. The area nearby is functional but not resort-like - you'll find grocery stores and some shops. Definitely eat at Wailua Drive-In!
