This was a very nice place to stay at for our 2nd week on Kauai, perfect for 4 people. Each bedroom has a separate AC unit, plus one in the living room, which kept the house very comfortable, although we didn’t use it that much since the temps were mild the week were there in April. The kitchen was well-appointed, even a coffee grinder. We loved having breakfast out on the lanai. Overall, highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at your home. The house and deck were clean and enjoyable. Loved the birds, geckos, and roosters! The downstairs outside needs some attention though. Lots of ants on ground and on some furniture, tabletops dirty, snorkeling equipment dirty and jumbled, and removing dead branches is needed. Corner with chairs and umbrella was unusable. *See photos The recent storm probably didn’t help, hopefully you’ve been able to get over there and do some maintenance. Overall though we had a great time and enjoyed our visit.

House near Tunnel beach. Big house but not kept well. We arrived and the house was not cleaned. We found unmade beds, dirty restrooms, kitchen untidy, dishwasher with dirty plates and fridge with food left from the previous guest. We had to call the owner 4/5 times before she answered. And when she did she didn't even apologize for the mess. She sended a girl that did what she could, I had to take the kids to the beach because their were shocked by the experience and didn't want to stay!! My mother stayed below and waited. My mother checked the cleaning and pointed out it was still dirty (dead mosquitos, webbs and dirt on the patio floor). The owner decided to let her come the next day for a "deep cleaning". So the next day we had to leave the apartment so they could clean!! The space under the house was crowed with tables, sofas and chairs. Very untidy. The bine (waste) area in in full sight and was not emptied. We also found the washing machine full of dirty towels that we started and then also dry cleaned!! This is all unacceptable so I asked Vrbo of a refund of the cleaning fee. They accepted. Thank you Vrbo excellent client service!

Beautiful place, wonderful amenities. Nice to have laundry access given how rainy this part of the island is! Beds were comfortable and the space was clean. Check in was easy and clear. Good signage for WiFi and TV was appreciated. Nice to have beach gear to use while there!It’s a 15 minute drive to Hanalei Bay and there are several one lane bridges and some construction so just be wary of the road conditions.A lovely stay!

This house had mostly pros (and some cons). Pros - great location, very tropical foliage, close to Hanalei area for shopping and groceries, coffee shop 3 minute walk away, incredibly close beach access, great showers beds (actually comfortable!), enough towels and dishes for spares, working TV with HDMI that we used to plug in our laptop / watch our own shows, nice washer and dryer, actually working AC in each bedroom in the living space, and great communication with the host!Cons - there were a lot of spiders outside, we’d wipe down the cobwebs each day and they’d be back the next day. There’s not much the host can really do about that, as the foliage is going to bring them in no matter what. It didn’t bother us but just a heads up! Luckily we had no bug issues indoors.

We have been coming to Kauai for over 25 years and this was by far the best accommodations. The house was clean, updated and had everything you could need. We stayed for two weeks, and didn’t want to leave. The owner is so accommodating and responsive. She is the best we’ve ever dealt with. We definitely will be back to this property as we loved everything about it.
