I spent more time actually in the place than I expected, I would say the trip was definitely a mixed bag due to unrelated issues (weather, closing of places that had been open 15 years ago etc). So as a result I was actually in the room reading and watching old Star Trek reruns on cable a lot more than I had planned. So, in short the trip was mostly not what I wanted, about 2 good weather days out of 7, but the place made an excellent place to just hole up and wait it out. One recommendation would be to close the windows at night if the temperature isn't too hot, really helps with the local roosters occasionally deciding that the sun rises at 2am, because they don't have watches. With the windows open, they might as well be perched on the headboard. I stayed in January, and like I said weather was not great, so closing the windows wasn't a problem. In warmer months there will be plenty of airflow, lots of window slats and louvers to open for the breeze. The place is well equipped, so much so that I didn't even discover half of it until well into the trip. Beach chairs and umbrella, beach towels, and good infrastructure like laundry, dishwasher, etc etc. Toaster oven was good for bagels in the morning. I didn't cook much, but it's well equipped for it. Also liked the water filter, regularly filled up my water bottle from it just to be on the safe side. There are a lot of Labels everywhere with instructions on how not to go wrong, which was appreciated.

My wife have been to Kauai several times, this was one of our best visits. Most of our visits we've stayed in the Kapaa area which was convenient but very busy and loud. We really enjoyed the Princeville area, less busy and quiet. The condo was very clean and well organized. Next time we visit we'll stay here again!!

Location was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay. The place has everything you could need for your stay on the island.

Rick was an awesome host. We completely felt at home. The amount of thought and preparation that he put in to make sure that his guests had everything that they needed was exemplary. Thanks for your hospitality, Rick.

Staying at Rick’s place is always pleasant and appreciated. The host is very communicative and kind, giving true aloha. His place is extremely well stocked with every kitchen utensil you could ever ask for and even board games books and a very nice TV! This is our second stay here and it is always a gem to find it available. The Paniolo complex has swimming pools and is safe and very beautiful to stay at. Many mahalos!!

Nice place! Was exactly as listed. Rick has an informative binder with helpful info. Stay was great! Would definitely recommend to a couple!

Great stay near Hanalei! Highly recommned. Rick is a great host.

We enjoyed our stay and this is a great place to stay. Even though it is a "ground floor" unit there a few steps up to it.
