Lots of potential, but unfortunately very disappointing.
Pros:
-Location, location, location. Walk to multiple beaches and restaurants/bars
-Fully stocked kitchen
-Washer and dryer
Cons:
-In desperate need of some TLC. Ripped blinds, old and chipped paint, stained carpets, wicker chairs with tears, nasty tiles in the master shower, and a rusty dishwasher. Just didn’t feel clean or cared for.
-Internal privacy: Take note that the listing does say the master is a loft. I appreciate the honestly there but they fail to say how open the rest of the unit is. The master bathroom doors have wooden slats for air movement which means you can hear everything happening in the bathroom from anywhere in the condo. The downstairs room is also not private, just a sliding door with slats.
-External privacy: Due to no air conditioning there are open windows to the outside. When entering the unit you can hear everything going on in other units and in the mornings we could hear kids from other units.
-Door Lock: After traveling all day to get to Kauai, the code we were given did not work. Vacasa did not answer the phone but thankfully were responsive via texting. It took about 20 minutes to get a code that worked, but then the lock was finicky the rest of the trip and we kept wondering if each time we left if we were gonna be able to get back in.
