We got up each morning around 5:30 and sat on the deck, facing the ocean and tree view, feeling the gentle breeze and comfortable temperature. We watched Venus rise, following by the clouds turning pink and the sun rising. Just beautiful and calming.We had seen the very negative reviews this year and contacted the management company to see what they had done about it. They responded quickly, detailing all the deferred maintenance that had been done, so we kept our reservation. And, once we arrived, we were glad we had.The inside of the home is very spacious, clean, well lit and well ventilated. The three bedrooms and baths were also spacious and well kept. The property is very private and there was virtually no noise coming from outside, except waves and an occasional chicken.Our only difficulty was that some of the sliding doors and screens were very hard or impossible to open. The hot tub came without instructions, but we were able to get help from the management company—being told that the off/on switches didn’t work, but that we should just push the “clean” button to make the jets work. Problem solved. From the photos, we had assumed we could swim in the bay right next to the property, but it appeared that there was an undertow and we found a very safe beach in town.Overall, it is a wonderful and very comfortable retreat and a great place to enjoy Kauai.
