This condo is in a good location on Kauai, and not far from the beach. It’s large enough to spread out, with one bedroom and bath upstairs and a second bed and bath downstairs. We spent a lot of time on the lanai, which was very nice. The living room and kitchen are also spacious.
The reason I can only give the condo 3 stars is that it needs some upkeep. Specifically, there is a strong musty odor in the downstairs bathroom, and one of the sliding doors out to the Lanai will not lock. The musty odor probably indicates a mold problem that could be a health issue for some people. We didn’t feel unsafe with the door that did not lock, since the the condo is built on a hill, so the back where the lanai is located is high off the ground, and there is dense vegetation all around it. Still, the lock was broken off completely and should be fixed. Overall, the place could use some general upkeep. The tile floor could have been cleaner as well.
On the plus side, we received a very nice collection of free local welcome gifts (snacks, local barbecue sauce, Mai Tai mixer, etc), which were much appreciated and enjoyed; the kitchen was very usable for cooking a couple of meals when we decided to eat in; and the condo managers were very responsive when we had problems (light bulb burned out, needed extra kitchen trash bags and TP). The place would have been very nice except for the strong musty smell in the bathroom and the missing door lock.
