Place was conveniently located and having the kitchen was great. There is a food store around the corner which made it super easy for us. Host communication was easy, very timely and friendly. The place itself was disappointing and our first less-than stellar experience on abb. The kitchen was full of ants and some roaches, so make sure you leave everything spotless. Even the slightest spot of food gets covered up. Kind of disgusting really. The place itself is quite dirty, a bit smelly and needs a good cleaning and dusting. The sheets, although washed, have stains and so do the covers, pillows and pretty much everything else. It was also disappointing that the advertised beach chairs were not there. We did buy a better umbrella and left it for next visitors to use. We love Kauai and everything about it, but will not be staying in this condo again.
