This is a lovely, well-appointed and well-managed vacation home for a big crowd (we had 9 adults and teens). We had previously experienced a really bad condo rental situation on a different Hawaiian island, so it gave us great confidence that this would be a good experience when the management was very communicative and sent multiple messages prior to the trip. They sent us access to a digital Guestbook with all the details about the property, check-in and check-out procedures, etc all in one place for us to access before and during the trip.
To be honest, we were a little nervous that the house didn’t have air conditioning, but it wasn’t a problem at all. The sliding doors and windows were always open when we were home, and the constant ocean breeze kept the shared living areas very comfortable. The 3 bedrooms that didn’t have good air flow had a/c units, so sleeping was comfortable for everyone.
We had access to the neighborhood pool and tennis courts (5 min walk from the house) and multiple beaches (10 min walk from the house). The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking necessities and plenty of dishes/silverware for a big crowd. The photos are accurate, the furnishings are recent, and the beds were comfortable. The house has multiple lanais, and we spent most of our time at home eating or lounging outside.
Highly recommend this house for a Kauai south shore vacation with a big group.
