The views are gorgeous, as described. It's nested in a quiet neighborhood (you can't escape the roosters anywhere you stay), yet close to the 50 and head to Lihue in about 20 minutes, Hanapepe in about 10 minutes, Poipu about 15 minutes away to mention only those 3. Count more than an hour to reach the North coast and Princeville, and about 45 minutes to reach the Waimea Canyon Lookout. You can enjoy the stunning views from the cozy living room, as well as on the deck. It's a great place to relax and unwind. The outside shower is nice (and as warm as the inside showers), especially when you go back from the beach. The place was very clean upon our arrival. The appliances we used worked well. Vacasa is quite responsive by text or direct call.

Too many things require maintenance, starting from the main door : the Schlage code we've been given was not working (calling Vacasa it took only 2 minutes to get a backup key from the lock box), and even then the cylinder was oddly rotating loosely, the key was not easy to pull out from the lock cylinder, and even if we've been able to enter and leave everyday, it doesn't look trustworthy. In the modern looking bathroom, the shower knob was broken, making it very difficult (but not impossible) to adjust the water temperature. We can't adjust the house A/C temperature. It would be convenient to let us adjust it at least a little bit, especially if we want it warmer, it will go gentler on their PGE bill, so win-win! But no. It's set and you cannot change it. It would be nice to get more information about the house like garbage collecting day and what exactly you can recycle on Kauai. The house garbage bins were so full we couldn't add our bag upon departure.

It was the best house we wanted.

The door was double-lacked and the key was one. After a long time, I was able to enter the house. The key is one. Lock state is tow. It seems that the manager had made a mistake.

I loved this place. It was peaceful and in a nice residential neighborhood. It had a beautiful view, comfortable bed/ sheets/ pillows, and was convenient for having plans on the south side of the island. It felt like home. I didn’t want to leave!

I didn’t receive the internet password and had to track it down. The internet took a lot of turning it on and off to get it working, but once it was working it was fine. I couldn’t figure out how to use the tv in the living room.
