We are ver glad you enjoyed our beloved place. Agree is a great location and being ground floor makes it very comfortable for beach/walk/pool ins and outs. Come back soon!
This is a large two bed, two bath property. It is well maintained. The location is very good with a view of the ocean and close to the pool. It is in a quiet neighborhood. The furnishings are up-to-date. We enjoyed our stay and would come back to this property.

Thank you Connie! I love the you enjoyed your stay at our beloved condo. I agree it feels pretty spacious, the rooms have a nice ample size and the shared spaces are also roomy and comfortable. I have been making upgrades and trying to maintain the place well (for us too as we spend time there too) so I very much appreciate the acknowledgment in that regard. It would be great to have you again, we have many returning visitors and is awesome because is like sharing the place as a second home with those that enjoy this special spot. Good vibes, thank you!
The place overall was great. We were not aware the place did not have AC and the bedrooms were quite hot - there was no visible disclaimer on any of the listing amenities. Online, the bedrooms looked pretty equitable, but one was definitely tucked in the back and had poor ventilation from the heat. The pool was excellent and the location too. The small inconvenience was the unit was the first one closest to the parking lot and on the ground floor - we were aware of the ground floor when we booked. Lovely place and responsive owners!

Mahalo for taking the time to share your feedback and for staying with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the pool, location, and our team’s responsiveness.
We’re sorry to hear the warm temperatures impacted your comfort — as noted in the listing, the home does not have air conditioning, and we’ll make sure that detail is even more visible to future guests. Kaua‘i homes are designed to take advantage of the cooling tradewinds, but we understand that it can occasionally feel warmer during certain times of year.
We appreciate your comments about the bedroom layout and will review how that’s presented online as well. Your insights help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back again soon to enjoy more of what you loved about the property.
