This was the fourth time we have stayed in this bungalow-the first time since the current owner renovated it. I have to say, we liked the previous low key vibe of the cottage on our previous stays-but the updates the current owner has made are just fantastic. Newly updated kitchen, updated bathrooms, and added a third bedroom, and air conditioning (which we never used). And the Koa furnishings, cabinets and wall panels are just gorgeous. Plenty of living space both inside and out. Great having a front yard with an ocean front view. Fantastic sunset every night. If I were to buy a place on Kauai, this is the kind of place I would want. Had a problem with a leaking toilet-and management had a plumber there the next day. Management was easy to get a hold of, and very responsive. The only changes that I found to be negative are not related to the cottage itself, but to the busyness of the street in front of the cottage. Previously, the neighborhood seemed off the beaten path- now there seemed to be a lot more traffic on the road out front -especially at sunset . And, the Koloa Landing Resort opened up behind the property, and there seemed to be a lot more people walking around than on previous visits. The front yard/driveway are a great buffer from the vehicle/pedestrian traffic. 5 Stars in my book-will return.
