Many years ago, when Kauai was still one of the world's best kept secrets, a little boy was raised in a simple sugar era plantation house, right on the beach next to a small boat harbor in Poipu.
He got to pick shells on the beach just steps away from his home alone every day, learn to sail with his father in the small boat they had docked at the harbor on the weekends, watch the sunsets each day as they dipped into the magnificent Pacific Ocean and gaze at the always bright night stars when they came out to play.Sound too good to be true?

The most unprofessional 'manager' I've ever had the displeasure. Louis thought that notifying him for the SECOND time at 6:52am on Monday (he ignored me 2 days earlier) was 'crossing boundaries'. A single woman with the front door lock not working (you can push it right in even though it appears to be locked -- the mechanism isn't catching). AND, the blinds on the master bedroom to the front lawn of the resort wouldn't close (the pull cord was pulled out of the wall and in pieces on the floor) I didn't notice till ~6pm when you might want to be in the

The one thing that a property management company is supposed to do well is to match potential renters to their clients' properties. We booked an ocean front property from Garden Island Rentals via VRBO (which has always worked well for us), we paid over $10,000 via AMEX and then booked five non-refundable flights. FOUR days later, I received a form email that our rental property had been cancelled. No phone call, no explanation.

Star # 1 the views from the ocean front vistas are just as expected from the website photos. Fantastic!
Star #2 the privacy of the property is more than anticipated.
Star #3 the three bedroom suites & children's room were perfect for my family size.
Empty star #4 she is an old girl this house. Furniture (dining room chairs with broken backs) stained carpet & loose deck rails with pealing paint date her noticeably. Website glamour shots are from years ago.
Empty star #5 leaky ceiling over the stairs. Had to unclog toilets a few times

The KAHALEKAI home near Spouting Horn was described in the Garden Island Rental listing as "lovingly maintained", but unfortunately this is not an accurate description. The first thing we noticed upon arrival was the pervasive smell of urine so we purchased a plug-in air deodorizer, which helped somewhat with the main living area, but the two bathrooms reeked of urine for the duration of our stay. We also quickly realized that the home is badly in need of some TLC. The first time we opened one of the screen doors and one of the closet doors, the entire door came off in our hands These

My 2 stars are for the house. ZERO to the management company. This is a nice home in a good location but it is in need of some serious repairs and maintenance. There were repair men at the house if I called of not. The pool turned green after 3 days. The pool man told us the pump stopped working. So we could not use the pool at all, and I had 3 grand children with me. The air conditioner is locked at 74 degrees. I was told I had use of the 3 car garage but when we got there it was filled to the ceiling with the owners stuff. When I called the management company to tell them my concerns after

Worst management team ever. We rented this place for ~$1,000/day. The air conditioner didn't work. The pool filter didn't work and the pool was growing algae. The refrigerators and ice makers didn't work. We had repair people there virtually every day of our trip. When we finally did get a call back from the management team their representative was unsympathetic, and rude. We extracted a promise to get back with us regarding a partial refund, but to no avail. The management team will no longer respond. This is grossly unprofessional to say the least and downright rude.

This is my 7th time renting a house in Poipu and the 2nd time at HALE OHE. We asked Garden rentals on the phone, if the house has been kept updated and we were assured that it was. When we got there we were in pure shock. The house was filthy. The furniture inside smelled of sweat, the patio furniture was moldy and dirty. We had to put beach towels on furniture inside and out before we would sit down. The beds were so old and uncomfortable. The cupboards, banisters and windows were so dirty. We had to clean anything we touch because of dirt and stickiness. We had to clean sliding windows so we

After a lengthy and more challenging than usual trip to Asia, my spouse convinced me to alter our course and stop in Kauai to unwind. We'd been here before in the past and I wasn't particularly in a Hawai'i mood...or so I thought. Eager to get Stateside and back into the thick of other business and personal matters, this seemed like an indulgence which could have waited.

When life presents opportunities you can't seem to resist - take them. I am pleased we did so when deciding where to spend our time unwinding. Here, we were able to
