This is a lovely unit that is centrally located on Kauai. Despite its off-the-beaten path location, we found it easy to find and it was situated close to the beach and the famous bike path. The kitchen had everything we needed, and more. We appreciated the fruit, granola, and water that was awaiting us!
Margaret was very easy to communicate with and Ida, the resident manager, was as well. Ida is a real gem and you will find her to be exceptionally helpful during your stay.
We were very grateful to be able to use the bikes and the laundry facilities.
My son and I found that we had ample space in the apartment, and the lanai was a very good size. It was used as an "office" away from home and worked well for early morning work before the sun (roosters) came up and it got too hot.
I found the air conditioning unit to be too loud for use during sleep (1st world problem) but there were lots of quiet fans to use at night.
Other than the fact that we had to battle cockroaches inside this apartment for 5 of our 7 nights, we would return here for sure. Apartment #3 also had cockroaches (inside the dishwasher). We caught MANY cockroaches in the MANY traps that Ida graciously placed for us. They were all sizes. This was very frustrating for us as we have travelled extensively internationally, including jungle lodges where you might expect this, and have *never* even seen a cockroach.
Margaret was kind enough to give us a very partial refund for our "inconvenience", and I realize that it was out of their ability to get under control while we were in the apartment, but I would certainly caution future tenants to notify Margaret/Ida immediately if you find cockroaches (look inside your dishwashers) and move immediately if you can find a place that will take you at short notice (and you are willing to pack up, move, and unpack ... essentially losing a day of your vacation). We made the very expensive mistake of "waiting it out" and hoping that there would be no fresh cockroaches in the traps the next morning.
