Outdated and dirty

Doors & windows don't work. All doors held closed with wood rods, locks don't work. Spa maintenance never showed up. Yard guys showed up 2 times early in the morning with no warning. Most lights and switches don't work. Screens fall off of windows and doors. House has alot of water damage and wood rot. Showers and sinks are so old they look dirty. Ice machine doesn't work. Plugs don't work. The mattress and pillows are crushed and flat. The internet router in the master bedrooms shines a bright blue flashing light and you can't stop it. People park on the street and walk through the property right past the master bathroom that has no curtains. Parts of the outside porch are loose and fall through making it unsafe to walk outside. The gutters are clogged and cause water to go into the house. Master bath was so corroded when turned on the jets shot out Black chunks. House had no tissues and barely any toilet paper. Stove randomly turns off
Water damage around all doors

Wonderful Disappointment

This property is in an unbelievably awesome Location. It is unfortunate because the house when it was built was a beautiful house. I would guess early 80's. Now 40 some years later I would say other than an appliance or two nothing else has ever been done to upgrade or update the house. I could go into detail but I don't think that would be helpful. I will put it this way I am a builder in a very affluent resort community, I also property manage quite a few multi million dollar properties. I would not recommend this property at all I rate it as a zero no stars. I had to put one Star for this to post.

Can’t beat the location

We’ve stayed here twice already. It’s an unbeatable location with beach access on a pristine quiet beach. It’s next to a river full of palm trees with a jungle look. The property is huge with a large private lawn/garden. The only ding on this listing is that it’s an outdated beach bungalow. It’s overpriced for the accommodations but we still go back because the location is amazing.

The spaciousness of the home was welcoming from the entry and they had Hawaiian music playing and a lovely gift assortment for us with a welcome note that made us all feel special. The walk to the beach is only steps away and between that and the beautifully landscaped yard, I could have stayed there all day. Plenty of kitchen supplies and space for our families needs. We already want to come back to enjoy this home and location more!

We were looking for a place that would accommodate 6 adults and a toddler. This house hit it right on. Loved the location, private beach and how quit it was! Lots of room and space to roam. Don’t worry about snorkel gear they have it along with coolers and a few beach chairs. Great time!

Beautiful sunrises

Beautiful sunrises. On isolated private beach. Large spacious home. Very clean and beds very comfortable Responsive management in Daniel House is a bit tired. Things breaking down, ie screens, appliances. Furniture comfortable but showing some age. 15-20 minute drive to Kapaa and 30 to Princeville. So plan on cooking at home. Kitchen well stocked with utensils, pots and pans.. but not spices or food basics. For Restaurant reservations plan 30 days or more.

Needs updating and renovation

Overall, location is wonderful-right on the beach! You can literally hit sand w/in 100 ft. Water a little rough on that side of island, but just think it was a weird time that we went. Landscaping is gorgeous with a gazebo for events. There is no A/C but with the ocean breeze, it's not really needed once you open up the windows. There were a few things that if I had known, I would have probably picked another property. 1. Most of the windows/doors didn't open all the way or were broken so it made it hard to air out the house. Locks don't work either. We were instructed to close up the windows/doors before leaving the house. Was difficult to do since not all the rails ran smoothly on doors/windows. Also, locks didn't work so there were wooden rods to place on the rails so that doors/windows couldn't be opened from the outside by strangers. It took some time to open/close it all up each time we left. Upon return, the house was stuffy and needed to be aired out again. 2. The house needs a LOT of updating in general. The photos give the impression that it's modern but it needs major renovation. The kitchen is the only thing that seems recent (last 10 years). 3. There are critters. I found a gecko beneath the sheets on 2 separate occasions. There were other bugs (roaches) seen throughout the house when the lights turned on. Maybe it's the nature of the humidity and being so close to the water. 4. There is a lot of gear (beach chairs, umbrellas, etc.) that is available for use but the snorkels were all broken. The beach chairs had used water bottles and empty Cheeto bags shoved in the pockets. 5. Since we slept with the doors/windows open, it was unsettling knowing that anyone could walk up to and in the house at any point because locks on screens didn't work. Anyone can walk into the backyard from the beach or the very nearby public walkway from street to beach. 6. It would be nice to have a gate with a lock/code. An automated gate would be even better. The current gate "closes" with a wooden beam into a slat to prevent it from swinging open. No lock. 7. The parking area smelled like urine/fecal matter. 8. At eye level it looked clean, but the attention to detail is lacking. Dust on cabinet tops, etc. Ceiling fans didn't work properly - which is not good when there is no A/C. Things just need some TLC. Not worth the price for what you get.

Beach Life

The constant Ocean breeze was refreshing. The landscaping is beautiful. The home offers an open floor layout which makes for a wonderful family outing. Beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a separate bathroom for each couple. Just footsteps away from the beach makes this home a gem. Kauai is a beautiful island and we hope to visit again in the future.

Great Location for First Time in Kauai!

My friends and I (my spouse and two other couples) really enjoyed our stay at Sandcastles in October 2021. The location was great for our first visit -- it's located on the eastern coast so we could access multiple different areas of the island to sample all that Kauai has to offer. Also, when we didn't feel like going out, we were steps away from (what felt like) our own private beach! It's not a great beach for swimming -- lots of rocks -- but perfect for reading, watching the waves and enjoying a cold beverage. The house and bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen was well-stocked. I am not giving it five stars because of a few little things -- 1) I think the description of the house should emphasize there is no A/C. Once the windows were open, it usually cooled quickly but I'm not sure what it would have been like if we visited during a warmer part of the year. 2) For the price, I would have expected slightly higher quality towels and bed linens. They were a little thin and not luxurious. 3) Finally, the decor is beginning to look a little dated. A limited refresh would really enhance the experience.

Great location, rough around the edges

The location of this house couldn't be beat. In a residential neighborhood at the end of the road. The secluded portion of public beach and lagoon, private hot tub, and beautiful sunrises from the deck are the main attractions of this house. Plenty of space for 6 adults to enjoy Kauai. The house does need some updating due to rust/corrosion issues and age. Sliding doors wouldn't close all the way (sometimes a safety concern). The oven didn't turn on and the grill has rusted through. We contacted the management company due to a fly infestation and didn't hear back since it was a holiday weekend. Nothing to be a major detriment to our vacation but needs substantial improvements for us to consider returning.
