Since there is variation in each unit since they are often individually owned and furnished by the owner (not a hotel), I recommend reading the listings you are interested in thoroughly to see if it matches your expectations. We stayed at one of their penthouse condos they manage at Hanalei Bay Resort. The place was exactly as advertised in their listing. The lanai had an incredible view of the mountains and Hanalei Bay. The apartment was immaculately clean, well-kept with traditional Hawaiian designs and furnishings. The resort staff were friendly and helpful, had beach equipment to rent, and could book tours for you. The poolside bar was a nice amenity - we enjoyed drinks in the hot tub after each day's adventure. This was my third visit to the island and I would gladly rent with Kauai Pacific for future visits.

My wife and I live in California but we own a second home in Kauai Island, Hawaii, which is…read morecurrently a long-term rental. When we were looking for a property management company we received some referrals but our first property management company turned out to be overpriced in repairs and dishonest in their estimates. We ended up parting on not-so-good terms. However, we were lucky to find another property management company, RPM Island Professionals, which specializes in long-term rentals and has done an outstanding job for us so far. Brian Pearson, the company president, is a hard-working, honest, and approachable manager who provides a superb service for us around the clock. I know I can personally contact him any time and discuss problems or concerns and that he will take care of them immediately. RPM Island Professionals repair charges are more reasonable than our previous management's quotes and they never suggest any unnecessary repairs. They have taken excellent care of our property as well as tenants, so we don't have to deal with them ourselves. We are very happy with this company and highly recommend Kauai Island's "RPM Island Professionals." We certainly give them a 5-star review.

Island Rentals Property Management is under new ownership (since 2018). It's actually changed…read morehands a few times since we have been with them as landlords, and we love the new owners. Sarah is very hands on, proactive, attentive to detail and yet still keeps an eye on the bottom line. She has previous extensive property management experience and works hard to keep her units taken care of. Jamey handles maintenance and rehab work. He is also very attentive to detail and plans ahead for ways to make future needed maintenance easier as well. We found out a few months ago that a lot of maintenance had been deferred for years plus our unit had a lot of annoying issues (who wants to sit on a rocking toilet?!). They want to help keep our unit in great shape, so our renters are happy, and so that our investment is taken care of and lasts. And, we want that, too. They came up with a plan and estimates. Both Sarah and Jamey were great to work with. We ended up doing a partial rehab, but the place looks better than when we had bought it. They helped a lot with picking out new flooring, new paint, and other things like faucets and sinks that honestly we didn't have much prior experience with. Sarah was great about keeping me in the loop by texting, calling, or emailing me to let me know the status of projects/issues (as is typical with rehabs, things didn't always go according to plan). She also sent pictures and videos of the issues, so we could understand the need to tweak our original plan as well as pictures/videos of the finished work (the flooring looks amazing!!!). Because the rehab was not planned for, both of them found creative ways to help us stay at or below our budget which we really appreciated. Everyone who has seen our unit loves it! I highly recommend Island Rentals whether you are a owner or renter!

(As a side note, the condo was a dream: clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated, top floor end unit closest to the pool and ocean.) Anyhoo--back to GIP! We actually had no direct contact with them--they did such a great job via email, there was no need!! All of our pre-stay contact was with Sarah. From the moment we reserved the condo, they were on the job. Fast contacts and responses. Professional. Organized. Efficient. Detail oriented. Friendly, pleasant. We felt the comfort of being well cared for: that if there were any issues or problems, (which there were none) they would be promptly addressed. The email contacts were clear, concise; just right. One can tell they've done the vacation rental thing countless times, and they know what questions will be asked and what information needs to be covered. After our stay we had some follow up contact with Sarah and other GIP peeps, I believe one was the business owner. I highly recommend using this small, local Kauai business. I believe they handle real estate purchases and sales as well as rentals and vacation rentals. If or when we return to Kaua'i for a stay, I will be contacting them directly for help in choosing our lodging. Yes, they are really that good!

1 Star -- WARNING: This property management company will take your money and put your family at…read morerisk. We booked a week at Mele Kai (March 11-18) for two families, including kids, one of whom was celebrating a birthday on the island. Nearly $8,000. On March 10, with a massive Kona storm bearing down on Kauai, we reached out to Garden Island Properties to discuss our options. Our VRBO messages went unanswered. Our phone call went unanswered. When we finally got a text response, they told us the rain is what gives Kauai its nickname "The Garden Island" and suggested we bring "a flexible plan and rain gear." We weren't being difficult. We wrote back and told them we weren't opposed to being rained on -- our concern was flooding, loss of power, or being stuck on the island. I asked them directly: "Will my family be safe during this massive storm in your place?" Their response? They told us, "I don't mean to downplay the news coverage, but this is fairly typical winter weather for Kauai." They assured us the rental was "not located in a flood zone." Fairly typical winter weather. Not in a flood zone. Here's what actually happened: The Governor declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY. Roads in Poipu -- the exact neighborhood of this house -- were closed due to flooding. Ho'one Road and Ku'ai Road, right by this property, were shut down. The islands were hit with up to 44 inches of rain and 135-mph winds. Schools and government offices closed. Over 120,000 customers lost power across the state. Beaches were closed under brown water advisories warning of sewage overflow and hazardous bacteria. The Red Cross and Salvation Army mobilized relief efforts. Residents were evacuated into emergency shelters. So much for "fairly typical winter weather." So much for "not in a flood zone." And here's what makes it worse: the forecast they themselves included in their own message showed 90-100% chance of rain with thunderstorms and wind gusts up to 50 mph for EVERY SINGLE DAY of our trip. Their own evidence showed this was not typical. They sent it to us and still told us to come. We never made it to Kauai. We couldn't. It would have been dangerous and irresponsible to bring our families -- our kids -- into that situation. Garden Island Properties refused any refund. VRBO has been contacted twice by phone, was promised a resolution email both times, and as of this writing we've received nothing. $8,000. Gone. For a house we never stepped foot in, on an island we never reached, during a declared state of emergency that the property manager called "fairly typical." This is not a review about the weather. Nobody controls the weather. This is a review about a property management company that had every piece of information -- including their own forecast -- telling them this was a dangerous, historic storm, and they still chose to encourage a family with children to fly into it rather than do the right thing. I asked them point blank if my family would be safe. They couldn't even answer the question. They chose profit over safety. Period. If you are considering booking with Garden Island Properties, understand this: when things go wrong -- and in Hawaii, weather can go very wrong -- this company will not have your back. They will take your money, send you a canned aloha, and wish you luck.
