A PEACE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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 and I enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous house. Fantastic ocean and mountain views with outstanding privacy. The rating should get 5 stars if it were not for several maintenance deficiencies and a lack of response from the concierge.

The most Amazing views , property and location on Kauai

Our family loved every minute of this vacation. We brought our three daughters and it was so peaceful and beautiful the landscaping is immaculate . The House overlooks one of the most amazing beaches just a short walk away and We felt like we were on our own little private resort.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a fantastic property, impressively sited with sweeping ocean views. Only considerations are a) poor beach location (15-20' walk, not a great swimming beach) and b) no air conditioning (hot already in May).

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful and had almost everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We were bummed the hot tub was not in working order since we were looking forward to that, but either way, we still had a lovely stay. The house and location were idyllic and there was plenty of space for us to spread out.

Amazing Views!!

We had the most wonderful stay on Kauai! The house has breathtaking views and the grounds are immaculate! The house itself has very unique architecture with amazing huge windows when you walk in. The house is older and could use a few updates but with the views it really didn’t matter! One suggestion would be to put more outdoor patio furniture for hangout space to enjoy the amazing breezes in the evenings. Some of the patios off the bedrooms had amazing views but no furniture at all. We really liked the location as it was a close drive to Kilauea or Hanalei Bay which was our favorite beach and town! The beach at the house is very hard to get to and a very steep and rocky hike but once you get there it’s beautiful! Overall it was a Wonderful stay! Thank you!

Amazing Retreat

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: We stayed here as a family of five, including two adult children and one teenager. The house matched the pictures, featuring beautiful grounds and stunning views. Located on the North Shore, it was close to everything we wanted yet secluded from crowds. The local host was very responsive to our questions.A few considerations if you're planning to stay here:There's no A/C. We stayed in June/July and used fans and open windows, which worked fine. Initially, we were concerned, but it wasn't an issue.The fourth bedroom is a studio attached to the garage, about 100 yards from the house. It suited our family well, but note it's not connected to the main house.The property looks like the pictures, with even more impressive grounds and views. However, the access trail to the beach is rugged. We used it once and then opted for other nearby beaches with easier access. This wasn't a problem but differed from my expectations.We would definitely stay again.

Could use some comfortable outdoor seating & an umbrella would be nice. Beautiful indoor dining table & benches..but not comfortable. Chairs with backs needed. We loved whale watching all day from the patio. Spectacular landscaped property. Peaceful & private.

Nice accomodation with small flaws

What really bothered us was that it says in the description of the holiday home that there is a jacuzzi.Unfortunately this is not working. Nobody from the agency cared about it. The holiday home is in the upper price category and we paid a lot of money, so we think everything must be ok. The main reason to book the house was the Jacuzzi. So we want to get a compensation but the agency said in the description was no jacuzzi but this is not true.

Peaceful Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: We were looking for a quiet retreat and found this beautiful property. It is exceptionally quiet (except for the roosters!) and well decorated. My biggest cons are that I wish there was some comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy the surroundings. Inside the house It would have been nice to have some comfortable chairs by the windows. The air flow in the house is definitely an issue on hot days. We used the 2 floor fans in the house to assist but I think in the summer this would be more difficult to manage.The property person was not responding which made me nervous but as soon as I sent an email, I got a call.We did enjoy the property very much.

Absolutely breathtaking

The view is out of this world. The whole property is just gorgeous. It’s like having your own private resort. Very secluded and quiet. Wish the hot tub worked though. This home was amazing. The beds were comfortable Beware of the wild boars roaming the property though especially if you have kids out exploring Never did find a way down to the beach from the property but that’s ok. It was nice just to look at. Quite far from any amenities but that also wasn’t an issue for us but could be for others. One thing I’d complain about and I never complain about any rentals because most property managers take care of the issues. We had a wasp nest right outside the back door under the deck. So many wasps. We had to stop using the back door. Every time we opened it several got inside. Plus who wants to walk through wasps So we never did even get to use the bbq house or go out back much. I texted our host and he never even responded. I had the correct number because he did respond to a previous text. It was odd though that he never checked with us how things were going. I found wasp spray but wasn’t about to attempt spraying a wasp nest especially right next to the door!! My bed had so many ants in it. I pulled the mattress away from headboard and found so many food crumbs there. Had to spray wash everything and put ant baits out. Very common to find geckos crawling around your bedroom at night. Some people may not like that but for us it was fine.

4.5 Stars. Could be 5-stars.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Our group of 4 had a wonderful time at this home and could have easily fit more people. The location felt secluded but still close to nearby grocery stores and restaurants. The property is GORGEOUS and the views from the public spaces and outdoor kitchen/gazebo are stunning. We had trouble with the water heater working on one side of the house, but the maintenance crew went above and beyond to fix it. The beach access is more difficult than described, but it was worth the trek for these 4 adults (I wouldn't call it kid-friendly). Overall had a fantastic time and would definitely rent again.
