Rob & Emily’s place is in a prime location with beaches, trails, restaurants, and grocery stores all within walking distance. Rob was very responsive to us during our stay. The unit was very clean, but there was a bit of a problem with ants and some of the screen doors were not sealed so lizards could get in.
This home is split into 3 units and Rob waited until we had landed in Hawaii to inform us that we would be in a different unit than we reserved, as his wife’s parents were staying in the unit we rented. We did not object because the unit they placed us in was the upstairs unit and was a far better space than the first floor unit, so it was an upgrade. However, we would have preferred to be informed further in advance that we would be in a different space than anticipated so that we could make our own decisions regarding any changes. The space we were in (upstairs unit) was gorgeous and the views are remarkable of sunsets and waterfalls on the mountains. It is not very private and conversations can be heard from the other units but we didn’t mind and spent most days and evenings out and about enjoying the close proximity to all the highlights of Kauai.
Rob and Emily brought us lychees from their yard which was a really nice touch and appreciated after long beach days. Their list of restaurant recommendations was great. Overall a good experience and we recommend the stay in the upstairs unit.
