We had a great time during our stay in Kauai. The best part was the location. We could easily walk to the beach and nearby restaurants, which made everything so convenient. The provided beach gear was also a huge plus and saved us from having to bring or rent our own. Overall, a wonderful stay and we would absolutely come back.

Comfy and Cozy Place, Walking Distance to Brennecke’s
The place was comfortable, cozy and clean with modern amenities. Liked it was quiet. The location is great as its walking distance to Brennecke’s Beach and quick drive into town. We had some slowness with WiFi but that was a quick and easy fix by resetting the router after calling for assistance. I would stay here again.

We really loved the location and general condition of this rental! It was so easy to check in and they had everything you needed in the kitchen. The only two downfalls are that the A/C is not super effective during the heat of midday but by night time gets everything cool enough so it was comfortable to sleep! The other downfall is that the hot water only lasts about 5 minutes. It wasn't a huge issue during the day, but it was not possible to wash your hair without running out of hot water.

Mahalo for your thoughtful review — we’re so glad to hear you loved the location, the condo’s condition, and the well-stocked kitchen! We appreciate your feedback about the A/C and the hot water. This summer has been unusually warm on Kauaʻi, and while the A/C does catch up by evening, we know it can be a bit of a challenge midday. We've also flagged the water heater for follow-up to ensure it's working at full capacity.
We’re grateful you chose to stay with us and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Nice value - good location.
This property had some great features - bathroom updates was incredible and kitchen had some wonderful features. Price was good for location and space. Could use a couple of updates - linens on bed, barstools too low, better couch - maybe a hideaway bed instead. Was very good but not great. We did enjoy our stay and appreciate the communication with host. Mahalo.

We all liked contemporary style of the property. It's very clean and the kitchen has everything, so you can cook meals for your family if you want to. In-unit washer/dryer is definitely a plus. Only complaint was the WiFi signal was kinda weak. No idea why. But it's not a big deal as we all have cell service. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely come back. Thanks.

This is a newly acquired and renovated property. We were only the second renters here, so they were still working out some final details, but what a place! It has some surprisingly elegant appointments. You'll love the showers, toilet and kitchen blender. Tina with the rental team was sweet and responsive to our issues. You'll enjoy staying here. Just a short walk to the beaches. Nice!!

Amazing place
The location was incredible. It was a super short walk from Poipu Beach. There was a lot of love put into the property. There’s a gigantic smart flat screen TV in the living room. We loved logging into a streaming service on the smart flat screen TV in the bedroom and watching movies in bed. 2 people can shower in the bathroom at once and you can turn on music and even watch TV in the shower. The property was super clean. I think there’s something wrong with the bathroom pipes because the bathroom started smelling after we’d been there a while. The neighbors are a little odd and will talk to you when you take out the recycling so I suggest taking out your recycling at the end of the stay.

We stayed at unit D from 7/6/22 to 7/13/22 the house was just remodeled and everything was new and beautiful. There is a partial view of the ocean from the living room and one of the bedrooms. My mother could not sit on the high bar chairs and the managers brought her a folding table right away.
There was a problem with ceiling fans and their lights. They work with remote and when you turned one on or off in one room the others would respond as well😂
But we laughed it off. Also the screen in the living room did not work with the remote and so every morning we had to fold it up and hold it in place with rubber bands. All and all the place was really nice and I will stay there again.

Wonderful accommodations and stay
Overall had a great stay and everything was great. The air conditioners sputter water over the beds but figured that wasn’t a huge deal, just moved the beds. Internet and TV wouldn’t work after we got there. By 2nd day maintenance came out to fix the tv connection and it worked! WiFi remained very unreliable the whole stay. Mentioned this as a problem but didn’t hear back after the tv fix so guessing this is just normal for this property. Loved the extra shared storage area with boogie boards, snorkle gear, floaties, coolers, beach chairs/umbrellas etc!
Unit had a washer/dryer which was a huge convenience. Windows to the back of the house were broken so we couldn’t really open to get a cross breeze (main room got pretty hot during the afternoon/evenings despite curtains being drawn and air conditioner set to 72/73).
The location was great, no bugs, quiet, and we would return.
