Our family had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful condo during our recent trip to Kauai. Everything was as described in the listing. The owner was incredibly helpful in answering all our questions we had and providing plenty of great information prior to our visit. The condo was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Our kids had a blast playing at the pool with the water slides and it was nice that we were able to stay in the condo and watch them from the lanai. We highly recommend this condo and couldn't be happier with our selection of this unit. Thank you Chris!! We love your condo and hope for a return trip soon!

Do-It-Yourself Luxury! Perfect family getaway

If you have a young family, desire luxury, comfort and convenience, willing to forgo expensive extras, then this is the place to go. Young Families: The resort is super convenient located - walking distance to Safeway. The best part of the resort are the well-maintained grounds and pool. With fresh water pools, hot tubs and those fantastic water slides, your children will have a great time. If you have newborns or toddlers, the sand bottom "beach" at the end of the pool is absolutely perfect! You can play with your kids in inches of warm fresh water while they happily play in the sand. Luxury, Comfort and Convenience: The resort is top notch. Very well maintained, super high end appliances and furnishings and beautiful koi pond and gardens. It's 10 minutes from the Lihue airport so no driving - just jump into a cab. Nice to walk on the beach and enjoy the surf. But you want to know about this particular unit. So here's the skinny: Rent this unit! Best Value: Solid location on a higher floor. You get an ocean view from all the lanais but better yet, the view to the grounds and water slides is perfect. One spouse can be with the kids at the slides and pool, and you can call up and talk with your spouse inside the unit. Unit faces east so the views are beautiful in the morning, and you avoid the late afternoon glare. It's decorated EXACTLY as the pictures describe. Furniture is comfy, clean, and functional. All the appliances work and are in good condition. The bedding is comfortable; mattresses are Temper-pedic. (They are nicer than my bed at home.) If you do watch TV, the Sony's XBR are a delight to watch your home videos. Also a nice selection of movies and CDs. The owner has graciously installed a iPod docking station, and a nice HP computer in the master bedroom with a printer! We printed out boarding passes in the unit saving us the hassle of going into the business center. Also a great touch - the bedroom closet had pool toys, snorkeling equipment, lawn chairs, beach mats, and a kick board. And we thought that we would have to buy some of these items when we arrived. Another nice touch, a grocery cart to take with you to Safeway so no need for a car. (Really thoughtful and environmentally friendly) On top of all of this, the owner Chris is so responsive and thoughtful when we booked his unit. All our questions were answered with a few hours. When I received the welcome packet, he included maps/recomendations.

Perfect Setting for Daughter's Wedding

Our family recently stayed at this unit while we were on Kauai for my daughter's wedding. As we had only seen pictures of the resort before we went, we were hoping that it was all it professed to be. It was!! The unit was top quality and spacious. The kitchen was beautiful and had all the amenities. The shopping center across the street from the resort had anything that we needed including a Starbucks. The bedrooms have sliding doors where we woke to the sound of the waves on the sand and watched the sun come up. It truly was a relaxing delightful experience. The owner provided us with ample information and maps before we travelled. This was helpful as we had never been to the island. I certainly hope it will be available when we return to Kauai. I think anything else could be disappointing.

I wanted to let you know that we had an incredible time at the resort and in Kauai. The condo was so beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. The views were great and the access was so easy. We parked where you suggested and were able to access the elevator easily to get to the condo. We really enjoyed the Tempurpedic mattress. We had been talking about getting a new bed and were interested in the Tempurpedic so it was great to get to sleep on one for a week and try it out. We slept so well in that bed that we went shopping this weekend for one. The wedding was wonderful and I really liked Steve Mu. If anyone asks, I would recommend him if they want a simple ceremony on the beach. I really want to thank you for everything and I'm certain that we will be returning to Kauai and will be contacting you to rent the condo again. Have a great day! Aloha and Mahalo!

What a great place. There are definitely some things that make this particular unit a really smart choice. We have stayed at Waipouli two years in a row now. First, location REALLY matters at Waipouli. The 2brm 3BA units are almost all identical, but some overlook a Safeway parking lot, some a full ocean view, some view mountains and fields, others simply the walls of their neighbors, and some, like this unit, have both interior pool view and ocean view. This view worked REALLY well for us. We have kids and having a full view of the incredible interior of the resort with its spectacular pool, waterfalls, slides, etc as well as the ocean gave us a great mix and really entertained the kids. This unit has a computer and printer in it, with free internet access. I used it everyday to check weather, look up activites, directions and even printed a $20 coupon for a boat ride. Very important - The pricing of these Waipouli units is all over the map. There are some big variables as far as cleaning goes. This unit includes DAILY MAID SERVICE and full cleaning when you leave AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Many other units include no daily cleaning, charge for midweek cleaning AND for cleaning when you leave. Your cleaning bill could add hundreds of dollars to your stay! In addition, THIS unit is managed by the onsite company, Outrigger. Because of this, you get daily amenities like clean towels, shampoo, etc... and more importantly, if something goes wrong like an air conditioner, stove, etc... they can respond in minutes to fix it, versus you trying to contact the owner, agent, etc and having them contact their handyman, etc... As an aside, since this unit is managed by the onsite Outrigger people, which costs this owner a bundle, you have the priviledge of charging things to your room, like dinner, drinks etc while at the restaurant, spa, yada yada... versus having to carry your purse to the pool, etc... It came in quite handy when I was not expecting to need refreshments. On another financial note, I just saw that this owner is now INLCUDING tax!!! If you take out the tax, departure cleaning, and daily cleaning, it means he is really renting his interior ocean view unit for a comparable rate of around $250 a night, very much on the low end for this view type. Last this particular owner has been very pleasant and professional. He worked with me to hold my dates for a couple of days till I could book good deals on airfare. He sent very helpful maps a

We had a great time at this condo/resort. Unit F304 is nicely situated in the resort and the location of the resort itself was good for access to all of the island. The pool was heated and we even got my 72 year old Mom who can't swim to go down one of the waterslides. The sand in the bottom of the hot tubs was neat. There was a cooler and beach chairs in the second bedroom closet which were nice to have for our day trips. The internet was also nice to have so we could watch the weather forecast and plan our excursions accordingly. We will be recommending this condo to others. Thanks Chris. Dan & Marj Alberta Canada

Our family highly recommends staying at this condo. We had an amazing vacation. The resort and unit are truly the best accommodations we have ever stayed in - you literally have everything you could ever need (or want) at your fingertips. We have two young children, so having the extra space was fabulous. And, the owner far exceeded our expectations by catering to our every need. As other reviews have said, the pool is fantastic and staying across the street from the Safeway is extremely convenient. As if that weren't enough, we found the location to be perfect for traveling north to Princeville or south to Poipu. Lastly, we cannot stress enough how accommodating the owners are - they were truly a pleasure to deal with. My 4 year old keeps asking me when we're going back so I'm fairly certain that a repeat stay is in our future. The Budeshtsky Family

This condo is wonderful. There's nothing you need, everything is there. We enjoyed it so much. The grounds and pool area are fantastic. We look forward to visit F304 again. Thanks Chris for making such a welcoming vacation home for all to enjoy.
