Kauai reviews

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Spindrift! The house has everything, from a gorgeous setting to every kitchen utensil you could ask for. It is obvious that the owner cares both about her house and her renters. Everything is in tip-top shape and just where it should be. The layout is great (loved the big laundry room by the garage entrance for all the wet beach towels!) and the decor is warm and inviting. Everything you need for a beach vacation is there: snorkels, fins, boogie boards, water shoes, lots of towels etc., etc. There is even a bicycle (no pump, though...)

There is a fantastic ocean view from every room in the house. We felt like we were on a cruise ship while having dinner in the main dining room - nothing but water to see for miles. And going to sleep to the sound of crashing waves is just wonderful. And we fell in love with the resident albatross chick, Komaka, and his neighborhood buddies. Watching these beautiful birds and their visiting parents was a huge treat. Spindrift was nourishment for our souls and we highly recommend it and would love to return.

We had a wonderful stay at Kaulana Naue. The house was impecable and perfect for us. Haena was great and the location of the house could not be any better. I want to commend the flexibility and assistance of both Leila and Leticia. We look forward to going back next year and continue to explore the Paradise Island.

We enjoyed the new, large and just great appartement with very modern kitchen appliances (microwave and oven). The service we received was great. As we had questions how to use the washmachine, half hour later somebody was in our appartement to explain it to us. The pool ist also great with beautyful palmtrees and cascading waterfall into the pool.
The appartment is very close to Queensbath and hidden beach and only a couple of minutes of drive away from the gorges Tunnels-Beach (a must for snorkeling).
We can highly recommend the Nihilani 9C.

Fantastic unit, the entire family had a wonderful time. Fabulous kitchen, bedrooms set up with most having private patio and bath. The highlight was the large patio overlooking the ocean, plently of seating for 10. Would highly recommend this unit.

We had a wonderful time at Pali Ke Kua 130 . I would have given it five stars had we not have had another very noisy party upstairs from us. They had two young children with a baby that kept us up most of the night after they checked in. We had four days without another party upstairs, which was nice. The insulation was not good for sound barrier. Otherwise, we had a great stay, beds were comfortable, beautiful view from the balcony. I loved the Dolphin restaurant in Hanalie. The best beach we found was definitely Hanalei. We loved the Kauai Sea Tours sunset cruise - a must do for anyone going to the Na Pali shore. I would absolutely love to stay again at Pali Ke Kua 130 - we did not want to go home. I loved working with Hawaii Vacation rentals, they went out of their way to provide excellent customer service. Great recommendation to get Kauai Revealed before we went. I used the book every day to find neat places to go see. By the way, one of the best finds just below the bluffs at our condo was Queen's Bath.

We had a wonderful stay at Aku Lani. The accommodations were very nice, however the house has very poor ventilation, and circulation. It was too hot to be in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. One afternoon my husband suffered heat stroke after coming back in from the day to the stifling heat of the house. You must have the owner install an air conditioning unit in the main area of the house.

The other item that was not comfortable was that the couch and chair in the only sitting area are covered with bedspreads that slip off, have to be constantly re tucked in, make it not easy or comfortable to sit in this area.

We were called two times to have the property shown by realtors. The first time I went out of my way to make sure the house was pulled together, also my family left the house for that period of time so the realtor could show the house. ( which he did not end up doing after my efforts to accomodate his needs) This was not acceptable because the ONE reason we needed to get away so badly from our own home, is that it is on the market also. I was so tired of constantly having to have our home ready to show by realtors, then we go on a very pricey vacation and I am expected to do this on Kauai.....not good.

All in all, we would consider renting this property or one like it again. The location was superb, the neighborhood quiet. The hosue was well stocked and very clean upon arrival.

We are considering returning in August of this year. Would you have this or a similar property available for another week for us?

Thank you.

Enough adjectives don't exist in the English dictionary to describe the exquisite delight of our total experience. Next trip we will see and do what we did and will broaden our island adventurers further. And...........we want it all to be done while occupying the same space in the same place..............."our" beautiful condo at Pali Ke Kua. We were 'at home with friends', although just having met.

Mahalo !!!! Liz, Jody, Nancy and above all , The owners. "The one freely watering others will himself be freely watered." Your generous spirit in sharing your wonderful home with us will remain in our hearts with great fondness forever. We WILL BE BACK!

Hana Hou Hale was exactly as described. A beautiful house, clean as can be with amenities galore! A wonderful welcome basket, every utensil a cook could dream of, walking distance to Brennecke beach and Poipu beach, plentiful beach towels and very comfy beds! I would love to live there permanently. C-Lure fishing charter was wonderful and productive (fresh grilled wahoo for dinner). Kauai Sea Tours for a Napali Coast Catamaran was fun. Zip lining was great. I would recommend this to everyone.

The air conditioning didn't work the entire stay. It was very hot in the kitchen preparing meals.
