We have traveled to Kauai numerous times and never tire of its beauty and friendly residents. We had a lovely time. The view in this unit was great - which is why we booked the condo. We tried to book their other unit first - which stated it was available on 2 sites for quite a bit less money and had all new appliances, cabinets and a newly retiled bathroom. I tried to book it on the less expensive site and it said must contact owner. When I did, they recommended another unit (which happened to be theirs too - but they were not forthcoming with that) because the other one I wanted had just booked. I understand that can happen. Unfortunately the unit they recommended was more money and lacked the major updates of the first unit I tried. The furnishings, which are updated and cute, as well as new sink tops and the wood-look vinyl flooring are all nice, but nothing else was really on a par with those. If things like a tub that is really stained and molding all the way around under the caulk, a screen door that is ripped and doesn’t work well or have a handle, a rusty old refrigerator, a dryer that has a rope for a handle and a really old rusty washing machine would bother you, then you probably would want to book a different unit. Also, the bed is not as stated; it does not feel like a pillow top. It is a very firm and not very comfortable. We didn’t cook or use the appliances, so it really didn’t affect us and our overall experience. We were just happy to be there and to be able to relax. I just know this would really bother some other people. I think the owners are trying and if they complete the aforementioned upgrades it will be great. The cleaning people are good. They did a great job. Also, be aware that if you cannot lift luggage up a short steep hill and 3 flights of stairs, this unit won’t be a good fit.
