Aloha, if your looking for a wonderful island experience than I highly recommend checking out this amazing location. The room overlooks the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Just steps away from a pristine sandy beach. Cool ocean breezes. Wake to crashing waves and gorgeous sunrises. Looking forward to heading back there someday soon. Until then, enjoy this peaceful serenity.

Sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip. Hope to welcome you again!
The place was in a fantastic location. Condo was clean the grounds were decorated with lots of plants. The rooms fan had a problem but they had air conditioning so it wasn't a problem to stay cool at night.

The small studio was even more crowded by a portable air conditioner in front of the sliding door with a makeshift board stuck in door for the vents. Loud and large. Nit mentioned in description. Too many emails with conflicting instructions. Request for early check in completely ignored.

Mahalo for sharing your thoughts and feedback with us. We greatly appreciate your input as it helps us improve the rentals under our management.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the temporary, portable air conditioner that was provided during your two-night stay. Our intention was to ensure your comfort while the main split AC unit was awaiting a part for repair. Unfortunately, due to the remote location of Kaua'i, shipping times for parts can be lengthy. We apologize for any discomfort you experienced as a result of these unforeseen circumstances.
We will reach out to you directly to better understand your concerns regarding conflicting instructions. Our records indicate that you should have received only one email from us containing check-in and unit information.
Regarding your request for an early check-in, did you notify us in advance? We always encourage guests to provide advance notice for early check-in requests. We couldn't find any correspondence from you requesting an early check-in, which suggests that we might not have received it. However, upon reviewing the calendar, we see that there was a back-to-back check-in scheduled in the unit on the 6th, the day of your arrival. This would have made it challenging for us to accommodate an early check-in, but we apologize if this was not communicated clearly in the event that your text or email was received.
We appreciate your understanding, and please feel free to reach out to us directly to address any further concerns. Take care, and Aloha!
