This was our first trip to Hawaii and we'd just finished four days in Maui at an air conditioned resort. We also live in (the very cool climate of) San Francisco. So, arriving to this home was a bit jarring for us because there was no air conditioning and it was the height of the afternoon sun when we checked in. There is a fan and the rain and nighttime air cool things down enough to be comfortable sleeping but it was not familiar for us. I do not blame the owner for our discomfort as I'm sure this is completely comfortable to those acclimated to tropical climate and we also just may not have read enough on the listing.
The outdoor shower was very enjoyable and so was the beautiful and peaceful view of the jungle from the balcony. I think that was my favorite part. Kauai has such amazing scenery so this is definitely a great way to experience it.
We also had a cute little cat friend who stayed with us the whole time! We are pet people so it was nice that this little (what I'm assuming to be a pet of the property owner's) friend was so sweet to us :) I looked forward to seeing her each time we came back in the evening.
Location is great, Hanalei is nearby and so are some great beaches.
I think our only qualm is the lack of air conditioning but would recommend the spot to anyone who's comfortable with that!
