Satisfied our highest expectations, beginning—and I considered this of great importance—the view. In planning for this, our first trip to Hawaii/Kauai, I was willing to pay a premium for accommodations with an ocean view. Indeed, I did not even initially consider looking for anyplace without some window affording a prospect of the Pacific. In this respect the condo could not have been more impressive: along one long side of it there are big windows looking down to short cliff and the sea below, from the master bedroom; the second bedroom, and; the large living room. This latter has floor-to-ceiling sliding windows that open to a healthy-sized lanai. In sum if your hope is to enjoy a nearly 180 degree ocean view (north-facing, so less intense sun), this place is well worth it.
Other impressions, all positive: it’s a quiet, large space, definitely suitable for two couples. High end, well equipped kitchen. Hanalei Bay, other north shore beaches/attractions and the Napali Coast are close. Other locations require more of a drive, but that will be true wherever you chose to stay in Kauai; the fact is that the entire island is most certainly within reach wherever your accommodations are.
Lastly: management office was very quick to respond to a minor issue, which we appreciated.
