Relaxation in Abundance

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A fabulously appointed rental with every amenity needed to maximize our relaxation and local experience! Blender and juicer worked excellent for the freshest flavors in our drinks; both lanais gave options to suit our fancy. The comfiest seats, the comfiest beds, plenty of couch space, and spacious rooms meant everyone could fully explore their relaxation. Minutes from the farmers market and a short walk to the beach puts this rental at the epicenter of an authentic Kauai experience.

Great floor plan, Beautiful, clean, well appointed house. A relaxing comfortable environment. Lovely landscaping. Screened in lanai we spent a lot of time on. Lots of towels and places to hang them so we didn’t have to wash them after every shower or trip to the beach.Great location near a popular snorkeling beach with a reef to break the waves. Supermarket and gas and sushi about 5 min away. Great Saturday farmers market near by and a health food store.Convenient to most things we did going out for take out or a special dinner and sightseeing and hiking.

House had good lay out but paper thin walls meant no privacy. Biggest complaint is how run down things are. Stove top knobs no longer have markings like low med high, sink motion sensor screwed up, lights in patio not working, track lights in living room were crazy bright. No can opener, no games. No books, no art. Overall, felt like house owned by private equity company that doesn’t care about creating a comfy welcoming place. Thankfully, property managers were v responsive to our complaints.

Thank you for your feedback. We do want to clarify that we responded promptly to your complaints during your stay, provided games, addressed the sink issue, and dropped off a can opener and new kitchen items even though they weren't necessary, as soon as it was brought to our attention. We’re sorry to hear the home didn’t meet your expectations.
