This is a fabulous house! It’s a “mini paradise within paradise itself.” It’s easy to get to and close to shopping and supermarkets. We don’t normally spend this much on a vacation, but we forfeited a few trips to finally come back, as Kauai is the best of all the islands in our opinion.
This is a 5 star property, no doubt, so my comments pertain to the fact that I traveled with my husband and 2 teenagers (minus the XBox 😁) who had to share a room. It was a little tight for us, but we definitely would have used a sleeper sofa. It’s a big room, so there’s plenty of space for a comfy modular style. I’m in my 50’s and my eyesight is going downhill, so larger TVs would have been a bonus.
Everything else, EXCEEDS expectations. Layout is perfect, both bedrooms are as far away from each other as possible, the upstairs master doesn’t have a door, but it wasn’t a problem for us since our teenagers avoid us. There’s virtually a view from anywhere but In certain parts of the house, you get both the jungle view and ocean view, like on the deck. The pool/hot tub is unbelievable, but the lap pool made it luxurious. It’s in an exclusive neighborhood and an easy walk to an end of Hanalei Bay or to Pu’U Poa beach. The BEST part is that you walk through the old Club Med Resort, with some structures still standing, which feels like you’re in Jurassic Park. Another cool activity was an awesome hike at the Hanalei Wildlife Refuge. I never knew you could turn left just before a bridge to get to a trailhead. This is a must do hidden gem! The property is full of beautiful plants, fruit trees, and wildlife. I can go on and on, but trust me, it was a dream vacation.
