We stayed at Waikomo Stream Villas in unit 523 from Nov 2-9, 2018.
The condo complex is small and quiet (except for the roosters and bird noise). Location is good - short walk to shopping and restaurants. Very short drive to other shopping, restaurants and many different beaches.
Lots of parking and a heavy canopy of trees makes shade for keeping the car cool. With that tree canopy comes LOTS of leaves - so leaving the top down on a convertible isn’t an option even for short stops.
The complex has lots of beautiful vegetation and pretty ponds, and of course a stream.
There are lots (LOTS) of spider webs outside in the trees - but we didn’t see even one inside our unit. Stay on the paths to avoid webs.
Arrival and check-in after hours was very smooth. Keys were exactly where we were instructed to retrieve them etc.
Our unit was clean, had abundant windows and several fans for air movement - as is typical with most Kauai condos, there is no A/C. We found it to be comfortable by leaving all windows open and fans going. But by keeping the windows open for air movement, it is impossible to keep out the rooster and bird noises that often start by 5-6 am. Worked out ok for us - But if you want to sleep in, wear ear plugs.
The condo has comfortable standard rental style furniture, two nice TVs, granite countertops and fairly new basic cabinets. The flooring is carpet throughout and tile in the bathroom and kitchen. Upgrading the flooring would have improved our impressions of the unit considerably. The tub/shower appears to be original but has a newer showerhead. Would also recommend to the owners to upgrade the tub/shower bathroom. Small investments throughout the unit would leave a much better impression with renters.
Kitchen has all essentials for cooking although we chose to eat out this visit. The dishwasher works properly but isn’t in good repair (the door binds, doesn’t open flat and it is very dated).
Front closet had some beach equipment - but chairs were mismatched (not the same height), beach umbrella stand was there but not the umbrella. There was a large cooler and a few boogie boards. A small investment in 2 good chairs and umbrella for renters to use would be a nice touch. Closet needs to be organized and cleaned.
Pool is warmed and the area is clean and has plenty of comfortable loungers. There are bbqs there to use if you plan to cook.
Overall good rental for price. Thanks for the stay!
