We stayed at this property for 12 nights in June 2025 with a group of 7 (5 adults and 2 kids), and had a fantastic time. We usually prefer vacation rentals over resorts for the flexibility, space, and private pool—and this place delivered on all fronts.The location is excellent—central to restaurants, golf, beaches, and a short drive to Lihue, Costco, and other island activities. In an excellent private neighborhood.Property is spacious and comfortably accommodated our group.Kathy, the owner, was responsive and easy to communicate with.The kitchen was recently remodeled and was well-equipped for cooking meals at home. Note to Kathy: You may want to look into replacing some of the non-stick pans.Photos accurately reflect the property, so there were no surprisesThe pool was a fantastic place to relax after a day of exploring or beach time.The decor is a bit older however everything was clean. Fans and the windows could benefit from a deep cleaning.The barbecue worked great and came with a full propane tank, but the heat deflectors are rusted through and could use replacement.Other items to note:The home backs onto a golf course, and the lawn mowers can start early (5am). It didn’t bother us much as we kept windows closed at night.Kauai’s wild chickens and roosters are everywhere—they’re part of the island charm but do crow at all hours. No louder at this property vs others.Note no A/C but multiple fans provided and were enough to keep us cool.
