Simple but Adequate
We had a busy schedule planned for our Kauai trip, so we didn't intend to do much more than sleep and shower in our room. If that's your intention, this could be a good choice, as both the bed and shower worked well. This was one of the cheapest rentals we could find on the island, so that was nice too. In addition, if you intend to travel to both the north and south parts of the island, this is a good central location, as it's about an hour to the furthest point in either direction. We did use the frig and microwave for quick snacks, and those also worked well. There's also a good ceiling fan and mini-split cooling system.
However, this should not be viewed as a luxury accommodation. The room is small, and the furnishings are low end. The louvered windows let in some air, but flow-through cooling doesn't really happen. And leaving them open removes all privacy for the bedroom, which is just inside those windows. Depending on the climate you're used to, this may be adequate. But if you struggle with sleeping under warm, humid conditions, you'll need to use the in-room cooler. This is also a joint room, meaning it has a locked common door for those who would like to share two connected rooms. But this door is far from sound-proof. This is true for the walls and ceilings as well. Unless your neighbors are very quiet, you will hear a lot of talking, walking, plumbing sounds, etc.
The parking for this unit is a dirt area along a row of trees, a bit of a walk from the unit.
