As someone that has frequented Kauai/traveled extensively over the years I can confirm unequivocally ALL reviews giving this condo less than 5 stars clearly came from a certain sub-set of individuals - Malihini's, Inexperienced Travelers, The Bougie, or all of the above. Before I breakdown how I came to that conclusion let's talk about why you should stay here: VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS! You will legitimately feel as though you're on a cruise ship in the middle of The Pacific thanks to oversized windows throughout. Also, being able to hear the waves crashing on the rocks below enhances that feeling. Location/Accessibility: The condo is less than 5 mins to Princeville center, but tucked back enough to feel private and relaxing. Despite being on the 2nd floor there are NO stairs needing to be climbed! Amenities: Jeff & Shana's place is well-equipped with whatever you could need, but I was especially pleased they had beach chairs. Décor: The furniture made this place feel like a home away from home. It was comfortable, but visually appealing. Overall, it was a fantastic rental! Ok, here's why you should ignore the negatives in the 4 star reviews. The complaints from them revolved around two things: being able to hear the people above (this is a 2nd floor condo) and "NO A.C.". I'm not sure exactly why being able to hear another human being walk around/make sounds is so particularly detrimental to one's vacation experience that they would no longer consider it a 5 star trip, but one can assume a lot about a person from it. I'd assume said persons have never lived in an apartment building, or a home with a more than one floor. If they have lived in such circumstances, but are still bothered by it then I would assume they're bougie. The sound was minimal, and certainly didn't hinder my vacation in anyway, but I also don't expect a vacation rental to be sound-proof like the $600/night Ritz. If you don't know yet, A.C. is a RARE thing in Hawaii. Honestly, there is no need for it. Temps usually max out at 85F with ever present trade winds of 10-15mph. Once upon a time there was no A.C. anywhere, and we all happily carried on with ceiling fans. This place has fans! If you still think it's hot with them on, I would recommend being screened for hyperthyroidism. Basically, if you NEED A.C. and virtual silence to enjoy your trip stay down the street at the Ritz-Carlton, but if you're looking for a more authentic vacation experience stay at this condo!
