Beautiful, clean and quiet!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at crater 26! The house was just as listed. We arrived to a clean, bright and spacious place to call home for a week. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking as well as cleaning. There was plenty of laundry soap and towels. We appreciated the extra box fans to help circulate that warm Hawai’i air. The upstairs (master) room was very spacious with a comfortable king bed and beautiful furnishings. We didn’t use the downstairs bedroom as it was just the two of us, but that was a beautifully made room as well. The pool area was a wonderful quiet and clean space to lounge in the sun and read. The loungers were very nice and the layout provided plenty of personal space. Check in/check out was easy. Thank you Jeremy for providing a wonderful home away from home for our week long kid free vacation. Would recommend crater 26 to friends and family if planning a visit to Kaua’i!

Great Location
Everything about this unit was amazing.. its perfectly located on top of the crater where you get a cool breeze in the afternoons and nights that keeps it nice and cool..a short walk to many beaches and restaurants and the pool is a perfect place to unwind and take a dip..only issue we had is with the HOA’s wife, she’s very quick to call you out and judge you, even if it was someone else that does something..she’s quick to make it awkward..other than her, it’s a great place, just don’t sneeze to loud, you’ll get in trouble

No ac needed with the beautiful trade winds! Some hills to tackle but only .6 miles to Brennecke’s and Poipu Beach. Nice walking path around the corner connected us to these beaches or Shipwreck Beach the other direction. We had everything we needed for our stay provided at this nice condo.

Nice but lacking a few things
We enjoyed our visit, thanks. Here are some suggestions: -- Include a set of instructions/helpful info about the rental, including operation of electronics, recycling, places to get groceries, restaurant recommendations, etc. -- Add a bath mat next to the upstairs tub (as-is, the one in vanity must be moved there) -- Add towel bars or hooks to wall(s) near the upstairs tub -- Include more toilet tissue in the rental -- Add soap or body wash to the upstairs tub -- Add fan above the table in the dining area -- Replace the circular table in dining area with a rectangular one (as-is, there's not enough room for someone to get around it if three people are seated in the chairs nearest the living room -- Relabel the light switches that currently say "Lamps" (they didn't seem to control anything; at least, we couldn't figure it out) -- Add a first-aid kit (maybe we missed?) Should be mentioned in the house instructions -- see first suggestion above. Thanks!

September Stay
Property was as described. May be the time of year but was warm even with the ceiling fans. Would not recommend for older people,we are on our 70's, as the walk leading up to the unit is steep and has several steps which make getting the luggage in the unit difficult. The pictures do not show the elevation difference between the parking area and the entrance to the unit. Great place for younger people.

Great location for exploring Kaua'i
We loved the location of this property. It was a short walk to the beach. The rest of the island was within a reasonable car ride. Restaurants nearby were excellent. We liked that there were boogie boards, chairs, and an umbrella to use on the beach. And access to the tennis court was fun for my kids. There were a couple of minor problems with the condo that were promptly taken care of once I got in touch with the proprietor. I would definitely recommend this place for a family of four.

Charming bungalow in lush, quiet community
A beautiful home in a lovely and well maintained garden complex. This property was the perfect size for two adult couples (late 30s) vacationing in Kauai for 5 days. We were worried about not having AC, but at the end of April, the unit caught nice breezes that kept the rooms perfectly comfortable. A small portable fan would be most welcome in the downstairs bathroom, as it became uncomfortably humid and warm when showers and laundry were running with no means of circulating air with the door closed. We really appreciated the large beach towels and high quality bath towels. I never travel without earplugs and an eye mask, and I recommend them to anyone coming here who prefers perfect darkness and silence for sleeping. I can't speak for the loft bedroom, but the main floor bedroom did let in some (not too much) light in the morning, and the sounds of birds, roosters, and critters of the (beautiful!) gardens. Come prepared and you'll sleep just fine. The pool area is lovely - complete with 8ft pool, lounge chairs, grill, shaded tables/chairs and more stunning tropical flora. The residents we met were friendly and welcoming. The assigned parking stall made parking hassle free, and the location of the quite community was very convenient. This was our favorite location of the places we stayed on our 3-island vacation.

Ideal space and location
This stay was clean, quiet, spacious, and in a great location. Walking distance to several beaches and trails. So relaxing, I cannot say enough about it. It was the perfect place for my significant other and I, but would definitely work well for a small family, especially if you want kitchen amenities for cooking. The host was responsive to questions. We will definitely stay again in the future and will recommend to friends and family!

The location was great for our vacation, very close to multiple beaches and restaurants. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the lanai is a plus for eating outside. The pool was better than the photos provided on the listing. We spent hours swimming, and playing ping pong and tennis with the grandkids.

Surprisingly delightful spot
We loved the place. Our adult son, my husband, and I had a great week based out of the "Crater". The facilities worked well for us and the location was unique. The facilities were great and the kitchen well stocked, if you don't mind mis-matched dishes. My only complaint was the level of 'perfume' in all the linens. Too much scent in the detergent(?), dryer sheet(?) for me! I to rinse/wash some linens w/o any soap to try and get them so I could sleep. I don't think anyone would complain if their linens DIDN'T smell sickenly sweet, so why subject us to that??? UGH!
