If I could give Maylene 6 stars out of 5 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and book her condo. She clearly knows what travelers need when they are on vacation!
The Condo: the space was incredibly clean, had super comfortable beds, was tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed, plus some bonus items (a lightweight cooler, tupperware, a pitcher for liquids, boogie boards, beach towels, etc.) Maylene clearly took care with the items she provides for use. The kitchen knives and pots and pans were all high quality and she stocks the kitchen with organic sugar too. There was a beautiful little area to sit and eat off the back of the condo which had ocean and mountain views; we ate breakfast there every morning. The showers had great water pressure too! The condo also had a TV and a community pool, but we didn't make use of either of them.
The host: You couldn't ask for a better host than Maylene. She was super fast to respond and incredibly helpful with tips. Maylene really wants to make sure her guests have a really positive experience and it shows. She even recommended massage therapists that will come to the house to give the massage (ask her about Christina if you like a nice deep massage!)
The location: The condo is nestled in Princeville; the area is relaxing and quiet. The sounds we mostly heard were the birds, the ocean, and the wind. You definitely need a car in Kauai, but there are some really cool spots that are within walking distance of the condo: Queen's bath and a number of beaches. Queen's Bath and the beach we visited also required a bit of a hike to reach, but were well worth it!
I can't wait to go back to Kauai and stay with Maylene again!
