My girlfriend and I were visiting Kauai for the first time. I wanted to be able to wake up and step onto the lanai and see the ocean. Vicki's property was EXACTLY that. From the lanai, you can see the blue waters crashing onto the beach and the waves of the Pacific Ocean were neverending.
Check-in: Instruction for check-in was spot on and was very understandable. It was seamless and easy. Its probably about a 1-3 minute walk from the parking lot to the condo depending on where you park. There aren't any elevators in the building so you'll have to carry your luggage up three floors. I didn't have a problem with this but definitely keep this in mind upon booking.
There is plenty of space in this condo and the amenities allowed you to make yourself feel at home. The room was spacious and so was the restroom. Beach and bath towels were provided as well as beach equipment. We used the fridge and the microwave but there was also a hot plate, toaster, and coffee maker available as well.
The location of the property was probably a 15-minute drive from the airport, a 40-minute drive to Hanalei, an hour drive to the Canyon. I would personally say that that this is somewhat in the middle of what Kauai has to offer.
We didn't really need to communicate with the hosts but based on what the property has to offer and the tips in the welcome binder, you can tell that they care about your stay. I would definitely book this condo again! :)
