We were a party of 4 (two couples) and had a lovely stay of 7 nights, and overall I would stay here again, but it came with a couple small caveats that may or may not impact you as a traveller.
First off and on a positive note, the pictures don’t do it justice. Everything was more spacious and even nicer than we thought! Though the guest bedroom seemed like an afterthought in the design of the house and was smaller than expected, which I realize now was the reason for the lack of photos for this particular room. If you are travelling with children or a single person then it works but two couples is tight (make sure you take the master!)
The house was well equipped with everything we needed, minus a decent coffee maker. To clarify, there were the following options: 1 Keurig machine and 1 4-cup Breville coffee pot that had seen better days. I think ideally they want you to use the Keurig but we’d already gone to Kauai coffee company and purchased ground coffee and when we ventured to the nearby Food Land, the Keurig cups were super expensive. So we made do with our tiny and well used 4-cup drip machine. Got the job done but a bigger and more new machine would have been nice.
Views from the private and well manicured lawn are of rolling waves on an ocean that touches the sky. You may not get better than this! Outside seating was excellent and comfortable with an overhang to keep you dry during the frequent rain spells.
Everything you need for the beach is provided - chairs, umbrellas, floaties, towels, etc! There are several beaches within a 10-20min drive depending on where you’re headed. The provisioning of beach gear drastically improved our stay as we frequented the nearby Hanalei beach.
My final qualm was the check out checklist…including the washing and drying of all towels and stripping of beds. This became common during COVID but seems to have stuck around, and even though there is a cleaning fee attached to this rental, the request was there with a $15 penalty fee for every wash load the cleaners had to do if you didn’t. Both our parties had very early flights and we checked out by 6am, which meant doing laundry late the following evening and after showers in the morning (which of course meant getting up 2 hours earlier than planned since the wash and dry take close to 90 min). Good to be aware ahead of your stay.
On that note, I will say that the issues aside, it was a lovely stay and a lovely home overall. I do recommend!
