Clean, isolated, hot
Reviewed on 2021-06-12 by Joelle M. , Santa Cruz, CA United StatesThere were some really lovely things about this house. It was private, spacious, and had a large and useful kitchen. There were 2 king sized beds, one queen sized bed, lots of couches and chairs. The bathrooms were clean. The laundry machines were great. There were beach chairs and umbrellas at the property. Also plenty of towels.
The rental agency was very helpful. We needed a package delivered partway through our trip, and they stayed late at the office so we could pick it up. The trash wasn't picked up 2 weeks in a row, but when we called, someone came and got it the same day.
They also put us in touch with a company that rents children's equipment, and that was very easy. We were able to avoid bringing a pack-and-play, stroller, beach toys, and a pop-up beach tent because we could rent them.
There were a lot of flaws, however, with staying here. Some were controllable, some were not:
- One review of the house mentioned it having air conditioning. It does have 2 portable a/c units. They are not installed, and do not have the accordions to seal the windows or doors. My husband tried to set them up and seal the gaps with pillows, and while they blew cold air, they were not enough to chill the kitchen/living room area. When we tried to use them, we saw the temperature reach 92 degrees one afternoon. The last couple of days we finally set one up in the bedroom so we could sleep and then we didn't want to spend any time in the rest of the house - might as well have gotten a hotel room. The listing does not mention the A/C, so we shouldn't have expected it. Air conditioning was still a primary reason why we chose this rental and we were disappointed.
I’m out of characters but also reviewed this house on vrbo for full notes.

A private and beautiful tropical garden
Reviewed on 2017-05-13 by Sandra B. , Madison, WIWe had a fantastic time staying in this well appointed house. The setting was amazing - a private and beautiful tropical garden yet close enough to all the things to do on the North Shore. One of our favorite things to do was to come back at the end of a thrilling day of outdoor adventure to make dinner together and share the stories of the day. A magical way to spend a family vacation! We loved it so much we are already planning the next time we will be back.
Our family had a very pleasant experience at this home
Reviewed on 2016-12-15 by Dana F. , Fresno, CAThe amenities including washer and dryer were very useful. The environment and location were also most suitable as we felt part of the local surroundings. Our family was seeking - and found - a home to be part of Kauai. This home allowed us to experience the island and people in a natural way - much preferred over a resort atmosphere. KVR was very thorough in providing information as we arrived on the island and via email before our vacation.They were also quite helpful when the kitchen sink became plugged.
Enjoyed the close proximity to North shore
Reviewed on 2016-11-02 by Daniel N. , Orchard Park, NYWe enjoyed the close proximity to North shore beaches and trails, the lanai, the grill, the fruit bearing trees, the hammock, and overall set up of the screened lanai.

When you feel like eating out, there are a number of wonderful cafes and restaurants within a 10-minute drive and even more just a few minutes further in Princeville.
Activities nearby include touring Limahuli Gardens (a National Tropical Botanical Garden), hiking, biking, seasonal swimming, snorkeling, wind-surfing, surfing, boat tours, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, and more.
