Amazing property and even better than the photos.

The house is beautiful - very tastefully decorated and stocked with every amenity thinkable (except a hairdryer). The owners clearly want to make for an amazing stay for their guests. We had an amazing stay at this kauai jewel of a property!

Paradise

This property was amazing. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. House was clean and well equipped. Loved the pool for evening swims and the deck for morning coffee. Bedrooms were just right for our family of 5. Highly recommend.

Love It & Didn't Want to Leave

This home was excellent in so many ways! VERY clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and sitting areas, well stocked & modern kitchen, quiet neighborhood, walking distance to shops & restaurants, lovely pool and landscaping, no deferred maintenance. We have stayed at many VRBO homes and it seems the last few years the quality has really declined (but not the price, LOL!), but this home experience has renewed our faith :-) Love it and can't wait to return!

Perfect spot to enjoy Kauai!

This house was absolutely phenomenal. Honestly, the pictures do not do this house justice. It is way bigger in person, and everything about it was better than expected (and our expectations were high!) The house was super clean, extremely well-stocked with everything you could imagine, the location was fantastic (walking distance to a grocery store, a bank, restaurants and ice cream and shave ice for the kiddos. Additionally, the house was a short drive to Anini Beach with great snorkeling. The pool at the house was fantastic too. Most of all, the property management team were AMAZING. Yen and his team were kind, professional, responsive and made this stay a phenomenal one that our family will remember for a lifetime. If/when we ever make it back to Kauai, it would be an honor to stay here again. Mahalo! 🌺

Best VRBO We've Ever Rented!

The descriptions and pictures are accurate. We felt very welcomed by the host as the kids enjoyed local cookies and chocolate gifts discovered in the gorgeous kitchen on arrival, which was better stocked than our own. The beds a super comfortable. Everything was absolutely spotless. The extras in the near side of the garage are terrific, such as the beach chairs and bikes. We enjoyed several dinners on the front lanai and morning coffee by the pool. There are effective fans throughout with supplemental A/C as needed. Kauai of course is a garden of pleasures and we didn't lack for things to do, but we regularly anticipated returning to our oasis a relaxation! If ever we get the chance to return to Kauai there is only one place I will look to rent and it will be this very house! It is simply put a beautiful, relaxing place to be and we loved every minute. Thank you so much!!
