Aloha Morgan, so sorry to hear about the WiFi issue your group experienced and the mosquitoes that were getting in! We dont seem to have any record of the WiFi issue that you reported and no guests since have had an issue. The screens that were loose due to high winds has now been addressed as well and apologies again for the inconvenience this caused. Looking forward to hosting you again in the future should you decide to return. Mahalo! Garden Island Rentals

Great Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of four, my sister's family of three and our parents all felt very comfortable in this beautiful home. The location is great, we walked to the pool and beach everyday. The only thing I would caution is there is no AC in the shared spaces (this was noted in the listing description). It wasn't a problem for us, the weather was nice, and the fan's provided kept the area cool enough, but I don't know how I would have felt if we came in the middle of the summer or if the weather was very hot!

This was a beautiful home to spend our extended family vacation in. Perfect layout and the bunkbeds were great for the kids. Loved having access to extras like beach towels, beach chairs, bikes, sand toys, wagon for little kids, etc. The house is in a quiet, nice neighborhood and close to everything. The paved walking path to the pool and beach was great! Highly recommend this home and hope to stay again in the future!

Wonderful stay with family

Our family had three generations staying in this lovely, spacious house. Great for sunrises and sunsets on the balconies, cooking meals together in the well-equipped kitchen, dinner on the deck, and games inside. Short walks along the green belt to Brennecke’s and Poipu as well as Shipwreck Beach, with a nice assortment of beach gear available to borrow. Management was very helpful and responsive. It was a wonderful stay!

Christmas Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location with ample space. We stayed here with our adult sons and their families. The home is equipped with three bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms attached. House well stocked with kitchen appliances and dinnerware. We particularly appreciated the location, within walking distance to two beaches, even for the littles. Also available was a rolling wagon that accommodated beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys (again, all supplied by the owners). Finally, the communication was mostly good (we had AC issues that they responded to immediately), and gave reminders about when to put out garbage and check out. Check-out, by the way, was a short list .... we've stayed other places that require quite a list of to-dos! If we were to come back to this island, we would stay here again.

Great Location

Kai Nui was a great location, walking distance to Shipwreck and Poipu beaches. The house is very spacious for our 2 families of 8 people. Lots of beach gear available with a wagon to bring them to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped, but the kitchen table could use a few more chairs to accommodate more than 6 people. All the showers included shampoo, conditioner and body wash, which was nice to have. We would definitely recommend this house to others.
