We brought our five member family (kids 13, 20, 22) for an eleven day stay in late August, early September, just as Hurricane Lane was passing to the south, and four months after the massive April rain event. We saw little residual damage in the area, and the condo is located away from any of these type of flood events, which was reassuring.
The condo was quite comfortable, with nice TV amenities. It is a really light and bright condo, very pleasant to be in. The bedrooms were a tad warm, even with the AC on. We would have preferred to leave the windows open at night with the AC off, but there was too much road noise from the adjoining road. That was really the only real negative issue though, and the reason we didn't give five stars. We tried to not leave the AC on too much due to the costs for the owners. Our kids voted to give five stars.
The kitchen was small, but well appointed with what we needed, including a rice cooker we used numerous times. We did notify the owner's rep about two minor issues (loose door knob at the front door, and ice maker not functioning), and they sent somebody the next day to fix both. Their responsiveness was appreciated.
The beds were comfortable for all of us, a real plus. Having three bathrooms was also very useful, and the master bath was huge and amazing. The lanai is covered, and a really nice size with comfortable furniture. We spent a lot of time there as an extra room.
This was our fifth trip to Hawaii, but first to Kauai. When we travel, we like to have a home base that is homey, comfortable,and located near facilities. This fit the bill for all of those. It is close to Queens Bath (five minute walk), which is good since parking there is impossible. Also close to Hideaway Beach, an absolute gem with a fun but short, steep hike into. Five minute walk to Makai Golf course clubhouse, where we took advantage of the $10 each golf clinics for the whole family. If we return to Kauai, we will check here first for availability.
