We loved our stay at this Nihilani townhome! It was the perfect home base for our north shore explorations. Our family of four, including two teenagers, appreciated the three comfortable bedrooms and three baths. We loved sitting outside in back, which feels very private despite the townhome setting. We easily found everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen. The single garage spot is easy to access. We appreciated being able to use the beach chairs and boogie boards, but wish it had been made clear before arrival that the surf boards pictured in the listing photos were off limits, as our sons got very excited about those. The pool and hot tub area are stunning - so close to this unit yet out of earshot - and the grills are easily accessible. All in all, it’s a wonderful, well-equipped rental in an ideal location if you’re looking to explore the spectacularly beautiful north shore of Kauai.

Shirley's condo is well stocked with beach essentials, roomy and very clean. Enjoyed our stay. Shirley permitted us to check in early which was incredibly helpful since we had checked out of a southern location early morning. Pool was very nice and very nice to visit after the beach.

Thank you! The condo was perfect. The beach equipment in the garage was so useful and appreciated. The pool and hot tub were convenient and peaceful.

This condo was lovely - the bedrooms had comfortable beds. The study did not have any doors, and the futon needed some blankets layered over the hard parts of the frame, but it served us well too. The kitchen was well-outfitted, and having a washer and dryer was very helpful. In the garage there was a great collection of beach gear, and even a cooler. The location did require driving or biking to get to beaches, stores, etc., but to truly see Kauai you'd want that anyway. Most amazing was the help from the staff. The AC wasn't working on Christmas and the property manager stopped by while we were at church to fix it (completely unexpected). Communication is amazing with this team, and they are definitely worth renting from.

The only complaints and inconvenience was that the pool is very cold and the hot tub is always over crowded. The pool is only 3 and 4 feet deep, definitely not heated, burrrrrrr. I always play with my children in the pool except this pool. This was very annoying! The kids had a hard time staying in the pool-which has never happened. The property provides board games with missing pieces. We were unable to play every single game including cards. We ended up purchasing our own cards and games. No sewing kit is provided. My son got a rip in his shorts - had to purchase a needle and thread. No paddleboards are provided. No bikes are provided. The master bedroom backs up to the main road which is surprisingly busy 24hrs.

We had a fabulous stay here and would definitely come back. The condo had everything, the kitchen was fully stocked! Actually one of my complaints is that there was no where to store our groceries as every cupboard was full. Our only other complaint was that when we got in, it was dark and it was a little tricky to find the front door. The master bedroom was very large and the closet was huge. The lanai was great, we loved sitting out there every morning. The pool and hot tub were also great. We can't wait to come back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is in a perfect, quiet location. Right next to the Makai Golf Course with a lot of areas to walk. The rental comes with everything you need and it's incredibly spacious. The unit could use a good carpet cleaning and I think the dryer might be on it's last leg as it wouldn't heat up very well.

Our family of six stayed here for a week, wish we could have stayed longer. The condo had everything we needed, the beds were comfy and had lots of beach gear. Boogie boards, chairs and cooler. The vacuum in the garage was super useful to have. The sand in our car got to be a bit much. We love this community has a great pool and is nice and quiet.

Cockroach infestation. Didn’t have access to home for 3 hours while exterminator sprayed but still had cockroaches after spraying. Home needs repairs- big gapping hole in kitchen. Shower and sink upstairs very slow draining. Lanai is on loud busy road. We have stayed in this complex before and it was beautiful. I do not recommend this unit to anyone.
