The property was HUGE! A lot of spaces are typically smaller than they appear in pictures but this one was surprisingly bigger. The location was perfect, walking distance to a beach, strip mall, groceries, and restaurants. The only thing was it wasn’t very clean when we arrived but wasn’t dirty by any means but it looked like it was rushed cleaned and maybe forgot a few things.

The unit itself is quite spacious which was awesome but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. As well as I noticed torn (worn out) pillowcases on both beds. We had to scrub the kitchen sink and disposal area because of food buildup. Awful! For the price paid it should have been clean. FYI the parking is not paved so when it rains you walk in mud.

A wonderful, spacious apartment. We loved the wrap-around deck and the gorgeous flowers and foliage. We enjoyed the ping pong table and sadly didn't have the weather to enjoy the pool—but it looked inviting. The apartment is cool and breezy, and loved having the windows open. Be ready for the rooster wake-up calls. Which is everywhere on Kauai.

This was our second time staying at Mauna Kai Retreat, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. Very comfortable accommodations, and the relaxing views from the wraparound lanai were fantastic. The property, pool, and condo itself were all immaculate. Our host, Sarah, was incredibly responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

This unit is just as advertised. Lovely aspect with the high ceilings. What really sets it apart is the wrap-around lanai. The sloping roof extends out over the lanai, so you can enjoy it even when it is raining. The furniture is comfortable of good quality. The kitchen is also well-furnished. Other reviewers have noted the proximity to the road for noise, & the step-downs into the living room, master BR, & master bath. I'm a light sleeper, and had trouble the first night with windows open. (The 2nd BR is much quieter). But then I realized that the master has good quality, double-insulated windows and patio door, and that this room remained cool enough that you could close all. Then it was fine. As to the step-downs, we're older adults and we were OK, but you have to careful. (I also note that there is a step down on the lanai as it wraps between the kitchen/dining on the main level & the living room and master bedroom on the "lower" level). The one issue I should add is that in the late afternoon there was direct sunlight into the L/D/K for about 2 hours, causing these rooms to heat up. But the BRs remained cool, and the unit has two movable fans. We set those up to blow cooler air from the BRs to the L/D/K. The grounds are nicely landscaped, and the pool is quite large, with lots of comfortable chaises & chairs. The exteriors of the buildings and the pool itself are showing some signs of wear. But all-in-all, this unit presents is a great value.
