We had a great family vacation in Kauai recently, thanks partly to the unit we were in, which was spacious enough for 8 family members that included two children. Olga was a responsive host, from the time of booking and during our stay.
Inside:
*The kitchen was spacious and well-appointed. We were able to accommodate two chefs at a time when we made big breakfasts for all.
*The washer and dryer in the unit were great to have.
*The three toilets and two baths were helpful considering the number of people staying in the unit. One of our only disappointments was the number of towels (not enough for 8) and their condition (looked old), one thing that's usually not a problem when staying at a hotel.
*The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable.
*The living/dining area were nice and adequate for our needs.
*The views from our three balconies were great -- they looked out into the pool area and the beach beyond that.
*One thing the unit was missing was something to clean sand from the floors. If you don't have a housekeeper coming to your unit daily, it can get pretty sandy inside, so a broom and dustpan would've been useful.
Outside:
*The location in Kapaa was convenient. There's a beach right outside, behind the property. On the other side, there is a shopping center that includes a Safeway, a Ross and some other smaller shops.
*The parking was never a hassle.
*The pool area was clean and well-kept.
Other:
*The spa on the premises was a big plus. We got massages on the beach and had a wonderful experience.
