The house was well-stocked with beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, tennis rackets and balls. All kitchen items were decent, salt and pepper oil and vinegar some spices. The gas grill is conveniently located right near the condo. The view is great, just a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset. The beds were comfortable. It’s a well-furnished place, with two bathrooms.
The biggest issue was the heat. I booked our Kauai vacation back in April when there were no reviews of this property. I did a VRBO search of properties based on the searchable features with the box of "Air Conditioning" checked. That was my only criteria, knowing that it gets really hot in July in Hawaii. Nowhere in the description did it say at the time that I booked it - "portable AC in bedroom only". I passed over other properties that listed their AC as one room only. That had to have been added later after the reviews started coming in. It was uncomfortably hot, and the air conditioner barely keeps the bedroom cool. We had to leave the blinds shut during the day to keep it at 85 degrees inside this second floor unit. It was unbearable. But we were out most of the day. By 5pm it cools down, but we had to keep the fans going constantly to do so.
Another issue sadly, was bugs. We noticed a large cockroach in the kitchen, and small ones in the bathrooms on the first night. The management company quickly came and treated the place a day later, and I didn't see any others until the last day when we were packing to leave. Overall, the people managing the place were accommodating about this. But it was unsettling.
One minor inconvenience, the hot tub is built into the pool, and it is not hot. It's the same temperature as the pool itself. So basically the hot tub is just a mini-pool. The grounds were ok, but didn't seem too well cared for. This whole place needs a revamp. They told us central air is coming to the unit.
