We are low maintenance guests and if treated kindly and find the accommodation to be adequate, we leave great reviews. We don't expect perfection. In many ways Dolphin Cottage #5 exceeded our expectations, that is util we had to communicate with the host, Joshua. We wanted to request a late checkout because the previous day our morning work and school calls were interrupted by a jackhammer being used next door at Cottage #4 which lasted for several hours, starting at 9am. He was unresponsive to our messages and after 12hrs we decided to call. When I spoke with him on the phone he was incredibly rude. I wasn't demanding a late checkout, I was politely asking but his response was hostile and rude. He offered a late checkout if we wanted to book another night then said it was booked the following day so he couldn't. He said the jack hammer is part of life on Kauai and life goes on. It would have been great to have been notified so that we could have made a plan to take care of work and school elsewhere. Bottom line, he was rude and hostile and made our last night in the cottage less than ideal.
