Great time at Pua Melia!
Our family had a wonderful week at this house. If you prioritize location and views, Pua Melia cannot be beat unless you're literally trying to stay beachfront. There is a lot to love about the property - location, views, easy beach access, really comfortable beds, and the property management company is very helpful and responsive. I should add the air conditioners in the bedrooms were an awesome, unexpected touch for Kauai. The west facing windows in the bedrooms provide amazing views, but it also meant the bedrooms get hot, and having the in-room air conditioners in the bedrooms was great. For us, there were just a few things that prevent us from giving the house a 10 out of 10 rating. As a family with young kids, the lack of beach stuff was a bummer. There were plenty of chairs, two coolers, two boogies boards, and one (somewhat broken) beach umbrella, but no sand toys, no sand wagon, and no other beach gear. The lack of outdoor shower was also a challenge for us. The hose is good for sandy feet, but our family is pretty active in the water, which means lots of sand in swimsuits - it was really challenging trying to get sand off bodies outside with just a hose. There was some bright colored carpet stains in the corners of the bedrooms that was likely from water damage and certainly caught the eye. Finally, the downstairs laundry room had a really unpleasant, musty smell. Overall, the location, views, and beds/rooms are fantastic and we had a great week!
