Yes, the view is amazing. You can watch the whales right from the balcony. As others have said, it’s a bit of a trek down to the beach, and I wouldn’t recommend after a rain, but we did it in flip flops and a drink in hand... it’s not THAT bad! This particular property could use some attention though. It’s only been tended on the surface-and not all of them at that. The cupboard faces were filthy-we had to clean before we felt comfortable touching them. The deck edges were caked with grime (the deck below us was not), the barbecue leg was broken and the barbecue itself was, well, pretty gross inside, and there was nothing to clean it with The stove had a hard time coming up to temperature-so be prepared to eat late. And the amenities were certainly not what we are used to from other vrbos. Cooking supplies were non existent-not even cooking oil. The impressive spice rack is completely empty. The outside shed had a couple (only) old chairs, broken snorkeling gear, and a couple unbroken boogie boards. There was lots of sand play toys though, if you have kids. There is no air conditioning, but the nights cool off so we were comfortable. The Wi-Fi didn’t work but my sister is a tech, so she figured it out. The property manager only responded Monday morning (we checked in Saturday), and it’s a good thing my sister had fixed it, because the property mgr emailed (um, said I didn’t have wifi so could they please call), suggesting I was using the wrong password. I am thinking Wi-Fi wouldn’t have been avail for a different set of guests. We still enjoyed our stay, these are just nit picky things-in case the reader is nit picky too. We have just found that other vrbos (for less money) had more to offer. But the view?? Now THAT can’t be beat :). And heck, you’re in Kauai! If you don’t enjoy that all by itself, well, I can’t help you there! Aloha!!
