Vacation Week 2 has begun, in good form. We finished our week on Maui this morning with a leisurely buffet breakfast at Kaanapali Beach Resort, (a great $15 breakfast. Lots of food choices!), headed to the airport, dropped off the rental car, boarded our interisland flight, and now we're on Kauai. Everything went without any bumps. I even managed to beat out about 50 people waiting in line at the car rental counter because I had previously signed up for their loyalty program. In and out in a matter of minutes. It's like we've done this a time or two before.
We arrived at about noon at Kauai Beach Villas on a last minute rental through Grand Pacific Exchange, the affiliated arm of Grand Pacific Resorts, who everyone probably knows is now the management company at the resort. I knew we were four hours early to check in, but figured it wouldn't hurt to drop by, establish contact and let them know we were here, in the off-chance our unit might be ready early. They knew we were coming, had the reservation and such ready to go, and while politely talking to the office staff about why we weren't going to take the timeshare sales pitch in Princeville, we were told our unit was ready, and we could check in early. Excellent!!
Knowing how things work at KBV from having been an owner here for so long, I had called ahead a few weeks ago and requested G or H buildings, if any units were available. Not knowing the view class this rental carried, only that the rental was two bedrooms, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I figured it never hurts to ask. And what do you know - we got H2, a main floor unit in H Building! Yeah! Early check-in, to an ocean front unit, on a rental? Wow! This week is starting out beautifully!
The unit is in excellent condition. Everything looks "right," and I'm looking forward to a nice stay here. I've only stayed in one bedroom units here, so I was a bit surprised at how much larger the two bedroom units are. As seems to always happen at times like this, I think to myself, "I could live here." I can see why so many units at KBV are privately owned.
These are some quick pictures I took of the unit, before we mess it all up:
This is both ends of the Living Room, (note the glass sliders on the one side of the Living Room), the Dining Area off the LR, the Kitchen, Hall Bath, Master Bath, and Master Bedroom. There is also a laundry closet with a stacked washer and dryer, and a second bedroom with two double beds.
The view is outstanding from this unit.
