This was my 1st trip to Kauai. I was seeking a central location to the North and South.
PROS
30-40 minutes to the North or South. 15 minutes to the airport. A flat, scenic 5 mile bike/pedestrian path right next to the property. A short walk to groceries, restaurants, bars, gas, and more. The resorts next door provided higher end dining as needed. We met many locals at the Taps & Hops Eatery, Mariachi's, Fish Bar Deli, Awa Kava Bar, Big Wave Dave's and more! 1st floor location made it easy to walk out to the pool, shared common grounds and ocean front. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing, although the beach is not ideal for swimming. The exterior grounds are very well maintained by 2 people every day. The unit had plenty of clean towels and gear for the beach (cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, etc.). The kitchen is fully equipped with all the tools needed if you want to cook. I never saw a single bug or critter in the unit. Overall, we found the community clean, friendly & quiet. But if you want to be secluded, this is not the place for you.
IMPROVEMENT FEEDBACK
To go from basic to great, consider adding a portable AC unit for the bedroom and white shutters (as in some of the other units) to both brighten it and allow guests to sleep with some airflow from outside. A front screen door would also allow airflow throughout the unit if you don't add portable AC units. The bathroom area with the toilet and shower needs an upgrade as it felt cramped and dingy/dirty.
