Inaccurate website description
The pictures were not an accurate description of the condo. We certainly did not arrive to the bottle of Rose and fruit platter as shown in the first picture. The railing on the outside deck was filthy, covered in dirt and bird poop, to the point that I had to clean it myself in order to enjoy being out there. The railing was also loose which made me nervous with my kids being out there. The master bath drain had hair in it, gross!!! I had read a review from Dec. of 2023 and February 2024 about the bedroom windows being filthy and sealed shut, but the owner had responded, saying they were awaiting new windows, I was assuming by end of June 2024 they would be replaced. Nope, the windows were so filthy we couldn’t even see out of them. The pictures shown in the ad of the bedroom views are not at all what you see from the bedrooms, you see filthy dirty window that you can’t even open and enjoy the Hawaii breeze. Yes there is air conditioning, but at night in Hawaii I want the windows opened and the breeze not the same AC I can get at home in Nevada.

Great location!
This condo was very close to the water, with convenient walks to Poipu and Shipwreck Beaches. The condo itself had some issues. The windows/screens on the upstairs bedrooms were filthy. (Ie bugs stuck in the screens, and the windows so dirty that it looked like you were looking through fog outside.)
There were other maintenance issues, such as chipping paint, grime around cabinet handles, and drawers that didn’t work properly.
On the plus side, the management company offered a mid-stay free cleaning!

Excellent Condo
Great views from Lanai of waves crashing on rocks below.
Condo was clean and very well stocked. Appreciated all of the beach equipment, towels, and boogie boards. The kitchen was equipped very well with everything needed, including a large spice rack.
The only drawback is many stairs to deal with and the refrigerator ice makes was not working.
Overall a great condo. Would rent it again and have already recommended it to friends.

Improvements Needed
We recently stayed at this vacation rental in Kauai with my partner and son. The location was great, offering beautiful views and a convenient setting. However, we faced some challenges during our stay. The louvered windows in the upstairs bedrooms were heavily soiled and sealed shut, limiting our ability to appreciate the wonderful views, cross-breeze, and shoreline sounds. Additionally, the kitchen was not fully functioning. Communication with the management was strained, which further impacted our experience. While the location is promising, improvements are needed for a more enjoyable stay.

Great Bluff side location
This place is a great spot to stay. The property is a little dated on the outside, but updated on the inside. They are retrofitting the balconies so the railing had some caution mesh on it with a sign advising not to lean on/ stay away. The only gripe I have and feel should be mentioned is that the lanai/ balcony has the AC fan/ power supply on it ( not pictured in description) which blows hot air right at/ onto the table and chairs when you are out there standing/ sitting. It also has some normal sound that naturally comes with it. Our way around it was to shut all the AC units off when using the lanai. Kind of a bummer at first but we got over it pretty quick. We would definitely consider staying again for the location and the size of the unit. We had a great time in Kauai.

Fantastic Place with Amazing View
The condominium was exactly as shown in the photos. The decor was very nice, the television is huge. The cleaning was up to my high standards. There were also a ton of great details.
Check in was easy, as was check out.
There is a bit of a walk down an incline to get to the stairs to get to the condo. Just a heads up.
The view from the balcony was amazing. It was my happy place and I miss that the most.
I would recommend this place!
