Overall this condo is a nice place to stay in excellent community, considering crowds and construction boom on Kauai (it used to be called a garden island before). Now it is a construction mess!
The positive:
1. The place was very clean;
2. Beds are nice and comfortable;
3. Kitchen has “almost”everything ( see more below);
3. Swimming pool is heated;
4. Hot tub is excellent;
5. Owners respond immediately and small issue in the kitchen was resolved right away.
The negatives ( and the reason behind 4 - stars review):
1. The master bedroom windows are looking at the second swimming pool that does not belong to this particular condo and it can get noisy up until 9 pm if you would like to rest. The unfortunate part is that you won’t be able to close the shutters and windows because without AC the temperature inside will go up to 90 degrees. Second bedroom was better and not on the sunny side of the building.
2. Kauai does not need AC unit in general, we concur with that and rented without one knowingly, unfortunately some ceiling fans e.g. in the living room were noisy with strange clicking sound at the maximum speed.
3. Kitchen missed some essential things, e.g. cooking oil, olive oil, etc. That is in our experience is not very common. We had to buy it in Foodland nearby.
4. Because guests have to use natural ventilation and will surely open all windows after sunset, we witnessed wind draft slumming bedroom doors constantly when left open. We suggest owners to install magnetic door stops to address the issue.
