The pictures do not do the location of this beautiful property justice. The views from those large windows is truly incredible. The property is as large as a small resort and just as picturesque. We enjoyed hiking to the beach (though it’s not so easy). The location on the island in proximity to all the activities our family of 5 did was perfect.
There is some room for improvement. This home is really a two bedroom home, with a office off the master that has been turned into a den, and maid quarters in the garage a good distance from the house. Yes it can sleep 8; but for our family one kid ended up on the couch, one got the master another another the den, and we took the guest bedroom. I will say though that the guest bedroom is great and has an amazing shower. All beds were comfortable.
The home is dated, especially appliances. They are Wolf, high end appliances, but showing their age (and didn’t always function perfectly). The kitchen could use a dishes restock (a lot of mismatch stuff) as compared to other higher end VRBO’s we’ve stayed in. The home could have more/better outdoor seating on the decks to take advantage of those amazing views. They should take advantage of the speakers all over, that didn’t work on our stay, but instead they added a couple of floating Sonos speakers. And would have appreciated better beach chairs (the kind you can strap on your back, not carry to all these remote beaches).
And if you are wondering about not having AC. We were there mid July. The home did get warm during the day, but not intolerable and we were usually out and about most of the day. But it cooled off great at night and felt like living in a beautiful tree house. Very indoor/outdoor feel.
Overall, beautiful property, and we would stay again just for the uniqueness and beauty. And with just some minor updates, this could be one the best five stars out there on Kauai. It’s still a great value for the price.
