We have just returned from a wonderful stay in this condo in Kauai. It took our breath away to see the waves breaking on the rocks directly in front of us while sitting on the lanai!! I must have taken 50 pictures as each crashing wave was more splendid than the last. We could have spent our whole stay in and around this condo. It was clean and had every amenity possible. It truly had a Hawaiian feel with the open concept and the constant breeze off the ocean.
I didn't realize that it isn't air conditioned when we booked the unit, but it wasn't needed even though the temperature was 28 degrees outside. It is close to the pool and hot tub but the complex was very quiet. The beds were very comfortable and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep every night. We especially enjoyed the food gift basket left by Kelly. Thanks Kelly for sharing your little bit of paradise with us. We stayed in 3 different condos on 3 islands during our visit to Hawaii and this (5104)was by far the highlight of our visit. I would go back in a heartbeat |

We feel lucky to have found this well cared for, well furnished ocean front apartment, which is among the best we have rented. The long lanai is a perfect place for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and especially for viewing sunsets. We also had many sightings of whales and turtles, and the bonus of a great rainbow view (and photo).
Our personal favorite activity was an early morning walk over the Makahuena Headland to the path system close to the beach into and across the Hyatt Resort grounds. Then on to the partially shaded trail over the dunes up to the cliffs and headlands for further ocean viewing and exercise. Returning via the Coffee shop at the Hyatt for a pleasant rest on the terrace, and purchase of a "real" newspaper to browse in the afternoon heat.
Koloa Old Town makes a nice short trip to learn some history as well as collect essentials. The "Emperor's Emporium" even had "made-in-Hawaii" children's clothes.
Thanks for your attention to the needs of your guests. Yours is definitely a place worth returning to. |

5104 is a fantastic place to stay. The views from the lanai and the condo are spectacular. We saw beautiful sunsets, huge crashing waves, boats, turtles, and spinner dolphins. My wife, an interior designer, loved the furniture and set up. The grounds are well maintained with lots of beautiful plants and very clean. The pool and hot tub were excellent and good size. The condo is located in a great spot that is close to lots of activites and beaches. We loved it and had a great time in Kauai. Kelly, the owner, is very helpful and I highly recommended this piece of paradise.

| Glorious, beautiful, memorable - there are no words to express just how much #5104 has come to mean to our family. Kelly was so gracious and professional and did everything he could to enhance our stay even more. I can not pick a favorite positive - everything was positive. Our world is so gorgeous and this allowed us a look through the windows of #5104 to witness things we had never had the pleasure of seeing. The staff were friendly and my husband really enjoyed the hot tub. I loved the kitchen - everything there to assist a cook and beautifully arranged. The wraparound lanai allowed the gorgeous view to just keep you guessing as to what great thing would appear next. This condo is everything it is advertised and more. Aloha |

| This is a wonderful condo. The view is great and we enjoyed watching sunsets from the lanai. The furniture is stylish and very comfortable and the condo is well laid out. It is a perfect place for a family or group of friends to stay. Kelly is a pleasure to work with and provides a lot of great information on restaurants and things to do in Kauai. We would highly recommend this condo. |

| Great location for viewing whales, dolphins, and turtles. Fabulous Lanai for viewing sunrises and sunsets. Spacious well equipped condo with all the necessities. Nice tennis courts with no waiting for court time. We were able to walk to beaches for snorkeling and restaurants for dinner. |

| The Carter's condo was more than we even imagined it to be and was one of the highlights of our stay in Kauai. The views are spectacular, the furniture is extremely comfortable, and all of the comforts of home are provided. Our family's favorite time of day was sitting on the lanai into the evening hours just watching the sunsets and listening to the waves upon the rocks below. The complex where the condo is located is well maintained and the people we spoke with were very friendly - both staff and other guests. Kelly has been a pleasure to work with and has provided many tips and suggestions to our questions. He has spoken with us on several occasions and has treated us as though we were old friends. We truly appreciate his honesty and professionalism. We are very much looking forward to doing business with the Carters once again in the near future. |

| My sister-in-law and I spent a most enjoyable week in September at this beautiful condo. Trust me, it is everything advertised, and more! The Carters are to be commended for their honesty and truth in presenting everything on their website as it truly is! The property is beautifully decorated inside and out! We most loved our times on the lanai, both morning and evening, either enjoying a lovely sunrise or beautiful sunset. We will definitely return in the near future to enjoy another stay in #5104 |

This Condo is very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and has plenty of space. The Lana has a great view, which we used every morning and evening to watch the sunrises and sunsets. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, and boats from the Lana. The island is wonderful and we will be back to stay at this condo. I want to thank the Carter family for all of their help to make are stay great. Mahalo from all of us.

| We (4 adults in our family) had such a wonderful time in the Carter Family ocean front spacious condo! (Last year we stayed in their second condo which is also so lovely, clean, and comfortable). The lanai is the best feature with the high chairs and tables to view the ocean for whales, turtles, and spinner dolphins and of course the best place to eat and read! We were so content to stay in the condo and then when it got dark, we would leave the condo. The Carters are unbelievable in the way they communicate with us to make the arrangements for renting their condos and the followup after we return to the mainland! We have already planned a return trip to the Carter's ocean front condo for next year. Our bags are packed! |

| Feb. 12-18, 2006: We loved Kauai and were delighted with your accommodations. We were welcomed with a basket of goodies, the condo had everything we could possibly need and was extremely comfortable and clean. We traveled with 4 adults and 2 children, ages 2 and 4. It couldn't have been better. We went to Maui for a week following Kauai. Kauai is definitely our favorite and your condo was by far superior to the one we rented in Maui. The service and your pre-and-post communications are superb. You are to be commended with your customer service and amenities. Thank you and we would be honored to use your condo again upon our return in the future! |

| We had a wonderful time! The condo was beautifully decorated and also very comfortable, with plenty of space. Every lovely detail you have read about in the property description is completely accurate. We loved the waves crashing outside, and being visited by spinner dolphins was a highlight! We also had excellent service from the owners, who are genuinely interested in making your stay pleasant. They thought of everything. Thank you to the Carter family for providing such a great place to stay! |
