Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
The stay was a mix of good and bad. The views couldn’t be any better but the actual accommodations were lacking, and likely dangerous. We had to buy cleaning products and spend 2 hours cleaning. There was hair and dirt everywhere. There were serious electrical issues. You had to turn on the lights for the master bedroom from the room next door and most of the outlets in the kitchen didn’t work. We had to keep moving the microwave and coffee maker to use them. The pillows under the cover were yellow and the sheets had stains. When we complained we were told that everything was in “working order” so they wouldn’t even refund the cleaning fee. While there, we had to have the handyman come in and fix the TV and look at a glitch in the ceiling fan. The cable guy also had to come as the cable box didn’t work.

This was the best of 3 places we stayed on the island. It has a view along the coast that is breathtaking.We loved the sounds of the waves hitting the rocky coast and seeing the Sea turtles right from the balcony..

February stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Accommodations were quiet and comfortable, and the view from the balcony stellar - blue water, waves, sea turtles, whales and beautiful sunsets. We also appreciated the oceanside pool, and proximity to Poipu Beach, trails and walking paths. The nearby dining choices were a big plus.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travelled as a family of 5 adults from the UK and we wasn't disappointed in the accommodation it was spacious and clean fully equipped with all you needed. The pool and sundeck were also a lovely addition to come back to after a days sightseeing. The location is also very central if you want to travel the island or take a walk down to the local bays.

Stunning area to stay in.

The overall visit was wonderful. It could use a little updating with dishwasher and kitchen and bathroom faucets. The beds were not comfortable. So I would definitely get new mattresses. Just a suggestion maybe have a first aide kit at the house But I loved our stay. And everything was very easy.

Dear Nancy: Thanks so much for your review of our condo and we wanted to let you know that we are in touch with our cleaners and property management company to ensure that the issues you raised are addressed. We adore our condo and want all guests to not only be comfortable, but have it be maintained and cleaned to ensure that you are always relaxed and at home. We do have a safe, in the master bedroom closet, and are sorry that its location wasn't clear. But we are as concerned about the issues you raise as you are and will be certain they are taken care of immediately. If you ever return to Kauai, we'd love to have you back! Warmly, Allison Krasnow & Mike Boals, owners

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really worn down for the price, kitchen was extremely small and not well organized, while the waves were amazing during the day they were too loud at night to sleep well. Bedrooms were clean and nice with comfortable beds but the lanai and living room furniture were dirty and uncomfortable.

Poipu Kauai

Property on cliff overlooking water. Beautiful views. Can't be beat. Have to walk a few blocks to access the water. Then it's a very crowded public beach. Every night the turtles come up to sleep, in front of the beach goers. There is no air conditioner. There are some fans in the rooms. I would imagine summer time would be quite hot. We were pretty hot even in janurary. Although, by the end of the week we got used to it. We had a great stay. The fitness club is a great perk!!

There were beach toys and chairs in the closet which was an added bonus. The lanai is right on the ocean and every day we saw turtles and whales while having our coffee. Our kids also loved the pool and having it right next to the ocean made for a beautiful and relaxing time while they played. The only drawback is the kitchen is a tad small but that never became an issue for us.

Amazing View

Amazing view - that's what you're paying for so enjoy it. Turtles, Dolphins and Whale sightings daily from the balcony. Overall condo and property is very nice and clean but not luxury or extremely large. We had 5 in our party which was about max. Bed and mattresses very firm....european style. Living room is small for 4 people but comfortable. Pool was not heated which made swimming in January not much of an option. Location is short walk from downtown and beaches. Would recommend and stay again....especially if the pool heater was working.
