Aloha!
We are Joyce and Don from Ketchikan, Alaska and we like making our condo as comfortable and inviting as possible for our guests' enjoyment.
Before we bought F-10, we rented it as visitors every time we came to Kauai. It was by far our favorite condo. So, when it was offered for sale we were thrilled that we were able to buy it and call it our own.
The first thing we did was to completely renovate it. We set aside 3 months to make the condo the best it could possibly be. We put in all new sliders and windows, took the bathrooms down to the studs so we could create spiffy new ones, installed new kitchen appliances and granite counter tops. We had new tile floors and new carpets installed and bought top-of-the-line furniture and incredibly comfortable beds.
The extensive renovation was a lot of hard work but worth the effort to transform it to a place that would please the most fastidious of vacation renters (which includes ourselves!) We come to stay in our condo a couple of times a year and each time we make sure that everything is up to our standards. Of course, we still manage to sit out on the lanai to enjoy watching the waves roll ashore and take morning walks along the beach to watch the sun rise. We are indeed very lucky!
