As a bucket list item, our group of three retired or near retired couples spent 12 days in Kauai and Maui. These islands are very beautiful and we found the hiking, snorkeling, swimming and kayaking to be awesome. During our time on Kauai , we stayed at the Nalo Bungalow. The check in communication was very good. The house itself was very nice and we had a glimpse of Poipu beach from the upper level deck. The house was nicely decorated and the kitchen had ample supplies. There was one bedroom on the upper level and two bedrooms on the lower level. The walk to Poipu beach from the house was easy. The house provided beach towels, beach chairs and a beach umbrella for our use at the beach. Approximately 4 weeks before our trip, we received a notice from the Parrish organization that the Air conditioner had broken on the lower level at this home, so Air Conditioning would only be available on the upper level. Changing to a different house at this point was not really possible because everything else was already booked . Because Kauai temps in the evening are low 70s, our concern for comfortable sleeping in the lower bedrooms was not the temperature, but the humidity. We requested a dehumidifier be placed in the lower level and Parrish provided one. Although the water bucket for the dehumidifier had to be emptied twice daily, the reduction in humidity along with fans made sleeping in the lower bedrooms OK. Having now been in Hawaii, my recommendation would be to have Air Conditioning in the house to take the mugginess out of the air. It makes for more comfortable sleep. For people traveling to Kauai, I would also recommend getting a tour book and doing your research ahead of time. In our opinion, Hawaii has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth and is fun exploring. Parrish has a website of their recommendations which we appreciated and reviewed , but we found the Frommer's Hawaii guide to be loaded with information and very helpful in planning our time on both Kauai and Maui. This guide or a similar one is well worth the cost.
