Kahala 914

Just wanted to let anyone who is going to rent this unit know that it is facing the road and the back deck area is very dark and covered by plants and foliage. This makes the entire unit dark even on a sunny day. There is no air conditioning in the unit except for the bedrooms which have portable units in them. The entire unit could use an update on everything.

Close to the beach. Has everything you could want. But it was musty and I would have liked to take a bath but the tub was old and stained

Location was good. Most else not so much

Cons: - This unit is located along a busy road. The bedrooms (particularly one), are disrupted by traffic noise. If you’re a light sleeper or have kids, it’s not great. - The unit pictured on Expedia is not the rental unit (914). 914 is at the far back corner of the property. The photos are extremely misleading. The unit we were expecting based on images online with arrows show ocean facing unit with large expansive lawn. Very disappointed, feel somewhat scammed by the images. - The furnishings are very dated & worn. Carpets are dirty, need replacement. - No instructions were provided as to where on property our unit was located. Arriving in the dark, we spent half hour looking for our unit. Our parking space was taken by another car. - Bathroom tubs are old/grimy. Fine for showering but would not use for bath. - While kitchen was well stocked with essentials, quality of utensils and knives is poor/dull. Cooler was broken. PROS: Size of unit is large, and property itself is great in terms of location, pool and recreation options. -Beaches nearby are great for families and Poipu region convenient to get to other main attractions on Kauai. - A\C units were great when (rarely) needed - Washer/dryer was convenient and functional - BBQs (shared) worked well - Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas appreciated for beach use. Overall, we felt the property did not meet expectations and online advertising was misleading. We would not choose to stay in this unit again.

Very clean and well stocked with amenities. Lots of kitchen gear, stuff for the beach (cooler, chairs, mats, towels, etc), washer/dryer, made this a great place to stay. Easily walk to the beach or one of pools on property. Very comfortable beds and couches.
