Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Pool was the biggest disappointment - cold and we could not get the it to heat up- Hot tub was colder then the pool. We will never rent out this house again specifically for the pool and AC. The AC were all window units- rooms were loud and we were told to turn off every time we left the house - which made the house hot a humid for the first couple of hours we were home. Very nice host! He was the best but I would not stay at this house again.

Thank you for writing the review. Richard has sent instructions on how operate the hot tub and amenities before you arrived. Richard has checked with you during your stay and did not receive any response from you or your party. We would have been more than to address any of your concerns as we do have local staff but it was not the case. As for the noise concerns princeville area is one the quietest neighborhoods in the island. As you can see with past reviews that noise and hot tub was never a concern Before every arrival Richard checks all AC, other things around the property to ensure the guest has a pleasant stay. He did test the AC and noticed that the place gets cooled about 1 hour with the fans on. We hope you give us another opportunity to work with you with an open communication. Thank you again

The house was very nice, there was plenty of room for four couples to relax and enjoy the property. Plenty of outside seating, the hot tub was wonderful. We enjoyed making meals in the spacious kitchen as a group. Easy to find, beautiful area, prefect for exploring the northern coast.

Excellent communication with the owner who left fruit and treats for our arrival and made sure we had everything we needed.
GREAT beds, 31/2 bathrooms, well equipped kitchen, all made for an amazing vacation.

Everything about this home was perfect. Owner/Host/Property Manager communication, location, amenities. They even provided my "special request" and decorated the home for my mom's birthday. This will be my spot every time I return to Kauai.

Property manager was very pleasant to work with. The pool, although not large, was a big plus and just right for cooling off in the afternoon. The downstairs master ceiling fan did not work but the property manager is working on getting that fixed. Overall a very nice stay.
