The condo was spotless on arrival and the resort amenities/pools were exactly what we were looking for.  However, the unit itself feels tired: several holes in the ceiling (looks like old curtain hardware), noticeable mildew odor in the primary bedroom, and the sleeper-sofa frame is bent—there’s a big sag when you sit or try to sleep (mentioned in earlier reviews but still not fixed).  With a little refresh and a sofa replacement this would easily be a 5-star stay; until then, expect a clean place in a fantastic spot that needs some overdue upkeep.

                                My husband and I loved our stay here. This unit was absolutely perfect. AC was amazing, bed was comfortable, ocean and resort view, great communication with host. Some things to keep in mind while booking: the resort is not within walking distance of pretty much anything, must Uber or rent a car. The resort puts on activities but VRBO guests are not able to participate. Also, the prices at the resort are extremely expensive (20 for two small virgin pina coladas). Overall, loved our stay and would highly recommend.

                                Property feels like it trying to survive. Short handed on staff, limited food options. MUST have a car because nothing is close by. the beach is littered with plastic and drift wood, but even if it was not, it's not a swimmable beach. Host was quick to reply, gave us early check in.

                                The resorts was nice but in big need of repair and updating. The room was nice but the ac did not work properly. This was the resorts fault and not VRBO. There were very few beach chairs around the pools so you had to grab one by about 7 am. The food was mediocre and the restaurant staff was rude and very slow.

                                Lovely little two bedroom condo.  Very basic kitchen and wicker furniture.  We were comfortable, but the a/c unit for the common area is just relying on the two units in the bedrooms.  With both doors to bedrooms open and fan on it was comfortable, but when husband and kiddos went to bed and shut door, it’s hot in the common area.  Slept great, beds were comfortable and the a/c works great in the bedrooms.

                                We enjoyed our stay, and the unit was very well-equipped with beach gear, kitchen and laundry supplies, and games. The view was incredible. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and hearing and seeing the ocean waves. Location was central to activities we had planned: hikes, kayaking, backcountry tubing, Waimea Canyon, Poipu Beach, Fern Grotto tour. We enjoyed using the Outrigger pools. It was nice to have a pool bar available, as well as the option to order food for lunch. The AC units were only in the bedrooms, so the living room and kitchen did not cool off as much. But we spent most of our time outdoors. Overall, it was a great stay and I would recommend it.

                                We love everything about this condo! This is our second time staying here and everything about it makes this our favorite place to be. We felt at home from the moment we walked it the door with the generous welcome basket with a nice bottle of wine and snacks, to the fact that the owner anticipated all our needs. Everything was provided from beach towels to shopping bags to scuba masks and more! The location is perfect, with access to the resort amenities  and being centrally located to both north and south coast attractions! Thank you for sharing your condo with us!!

                                We hadn't stayed at a VRBO before and didn't read Crystal's notes in detail so we were upset that there was basically no soap for shower/bath. But you couldn't take a bath because there was no stopper in the tub to prevent water from draining. Someone else's shampoo was left in the shower. There was a dirty towel on the closet floor. Overall property was clean but unit as stated above. Property has extremely limited pool seating although there is tons of open space. The unit itself has a great location and views and sitting on our lanai watching the ocean, feeling breeze and running down to the pool for a dip made up for the lack of seating. Overall, with a few "maintenance" issues cleared, we would absolutely stay there again!

                                We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The location was fantastic, which made exploring super convenient. The property itself was spacious and very clean, providing plenty of room for our family to relax and spread out. The AC units worked well which allowed us to stay cool in every room. The pool area was a highlight—absolutely loved spending time there!
However, the beds were not as comfortable as we’d hoped, which made for some restless nights. Also, while the kitchen was well-equipped with pots, pans, and dishes, it lacked basic essentials like salt and pepper.

                                Bottom line is this unit was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. If you want luxury, this ain’t that. The outside of the buildings are old & badly in need of remodeling. The inside of the unit is nicely refreshed, however, and the owner is very responsive to inquiries (housekeeping staff is a bit slow to bring requested items, though). The pool area is exceptional, and beach access is a plus! Centrally located, 1 mile north of the airport, and perfect for exploring the entire island.

                                When we arrived, the unit was not very clean. There were dirty dishes still in the microwave, and kitchen utensils that were disgusting and had to be washed. It was obvious it had not been thoroughly cleaned, because even one of the dresser drawers was still completely full of a child's wardrobe. Toilet runs in the master bedroom all the time, and the beds were not comfortable at all. The queen bed that folds out from the couch really shouldn't be called a bed, It's worse than an RV mattress. The air conditioning in the master bedroom is really loud as well, because the condenser is right outside the window on the Lanai. Opening and closing Lanai doors can be heard through all the different units. Messaging property owner on VRBO was fruitless as well, as the message was never answered.The shower in the hall has a shower head so low that anyone over about 5'5 is going to find it uncomfortable to use. As someone who's 6'3", The shower head was below my shoulders and made simple tasks like watching my hair very uncomfortable. On the positive side, self check in was really easy to do. Location was nicely central for both the South and North shore explorations. We also appreciated having two beach chairs and a couple boogie boards. There was also an umbrella and some snorkel gear but we didn't use them since we brought our own. The pools over at the outrigger were nice as well. based on the pricing it was a let down in comparison to what we expected related to it's peers.

                                The condo was perfect for 2, had all the amenities of home away from home, full kitchen, washer dryer, even laundry soap, so no overpacking of clothes needed. Very tranquil and quiet except for the roosters of course, you get used to them!

                                My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful vacation at Fred’s condo!  It was comfortable, welcoming, and felt like home away from home.  Nice kitchen, spacious master bedroom!  Enjoyed morning coffee on the terrace overlooking pond and water fountain! Fred was a great communicator and returned text messages quickly when we had a question!  He provided a lot of information for regarding restaurants, shopping, attractions to see!!  Highly recommend staying here..especially for the price!

                                Everything was smooth from first point of contact-reservation through stay.  Communication was great and the tips/and info provided pre-arrival was so helpful.  The condo was well equipped with everything you could possibly need.  The provided beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and towels came in handy.  The only thing-which cannot be changed-was I wish the beach at the condo would have been more user friendly, but there as a nice beach just 5 minutes up the road.  Thanks for a giving us a wonderful place to stay while in Hawaii.

                                The grounds and resort were beautiful!  The condo was run down, extremely MUSTY and needed repairs: Hole in wall in bedroom where cable was coming out and filled with a plastic wrapper, Towel hooks fell of wall in bathroom and not replaced, left command strips and paint scratched off the wall. It was well stocked EXCEPT  We were only given 2 white bath towels (1 for each of us) for 9 days and 2 other tan colored towels we used for the pool/beach.  We had to wash the towels every day and ran out of tide pods. Furniture/Bed was also old and not comfortable.  I would not stay here again.  The worse part was the MUSTY/MOLDY smell!!!!

                                It looked like the listing photos and was in a good location. The bedroom and bathroom had a super musty smell, the bedroom was like musty urine. The dryer stopped working because of a broken sensor, so after the property manager and a tech came out they still couldn't fix it properly. I was supposed to get a partial refund but didn't. They primarily communicate through phone calls instead of messaging within the app which is annoying because I don't want to deal with more calls while on vacation, and when they mentioned a refund I have no record since it was via a call.

                                There was everything you could need to be comfortable and relaxed. We were happy to find  chairs to enjoy hours on the beach. There were several common pantry spices and toiletries available. The dishes and cooking pans were clean and in good shape for use. The king sized bed was comfortable to rest, as well as the living room furniture. The swimming pool and hot tub were a close walking distance, and beach walks were also close. This Villa is close to the airport and fairly central to driving to all parts of the island. I would definitely stay here again.

                                We were really pleased with our stay in Lihue.  The condo was older, but nicely decorated.  It was close to shopping and restaurants and a short walk to the beach.  It had a great kitchen, if one is so inclined tocook.

                                This was a wonderful location, close to the airport (I got one last look as we flew out), close to shopping and plenty of sights. The grounds were amazing, the pool options were wonderful and we spent plenty of time there. Very nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit and the king size bed was very comfortable. There were some sand toys, beach chairs and snorkeling gear which was great. Some notes, the lay out photo is not accurate, you have to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. The furniture is different. There is a broken recliner and not the two chairs, we pay attention because our family likes to have plenty of seating. There were not enough pillow cases for the extra pillows, luckily my younger kid had a pillow along. There also weren’t many blankets, again my smaller kid was able to use the smaller blanket for the pull out bed. There was some trash left from the last guest on the dresser, crumbs on the furniture and the cabinets weren’t very clean.  We were the a week (4 of us) and there were 4 bath towels and 1 bath mat. It would have been nice to have an extra bath mat since it would get pretty wet after each use. Yes there was a washer and dryer but I don’t want to spend my vacation doing laundry. Also, there wasn’t a lot of places to hang towels and suits. A rack would be nice rather than putting suits over the chairs on the lanai. I would recommend this resort.

                                The hotel was okay, it is showing its age. The mattress needs replacing. Pools were very nice. Beach is hard to walk on.  The restaurants were expensive for the quality of the food. You need a car to get around. Kapa’a is close for groceries, restaurants and local shopping.  Close to south shores and exploring. North shore did not offer much.  Windy and rainy on and off. ( might be the time of year) Need better instruction how to find places. Staff very friendly and grounds well maintained.

                                My stay at Monk’s condo was lovely. All was as described except there is no ocean view at all. A lot of the info in his write up is outdated. All in all it was a comfortable stay.

                                We choose this location due to proximity of coconut market and it being centralized to our excursions. I would recommend a new sofa sleeper, it was very uncomfortable. Some new cushions for the wicker furniture would be a great addition. Also having the bathrooms have hand soap and the kitchen with towels..

                                We had a great time in Kauai and this location was just perfect for us.  Beautiful first floor view of the ocean and the resort also had a pool, hot tub with a pool side eatery during the day that you could use.  From our location we spent time at the Waimea Canyon State Park touring the upper coast line and also did some afternoon rafting along the same coast.   Thank you for a wonderful stay.

                                Property had everything you’d need. Plenty of towels, sheets, dishes and Tupperware. Kitchen was completely stocked for a family that loves to cook, there was at least 1 of everything you’d need. The grills are a quick 30 second walk from door to grill. There was also beach chairs and boogie boards on the very large balcony. You can see the ocean from the condo, walk is like 2 minutes. Overall, a great place to stay for our family of 4.

                                The property is a little dated but this is exactly what we are looking for. The owner is very accommodating and timely concerning communication. The pricing is fair considering the location. A well stocked condo that we will be returning to.
