And I'm pretty sure it's at Kauai Lagoons.
Checked in last night after a quick flight from Oahu. Parents took the resort's free shuttle since they were on an earlier flight and we picked up the rental car. We have a 3 BR OV unit on DC points (discounted under the promo from last year) and were placed 4th floor end unit in building C (Matched our request). We have a half view of the pool and half view of the ocean/mountains. Looks like there's one stack of 3BR in each building.. and the units are just awesome. The 3rd bedroom / Bath and lanundry are at the end of a hallway that starts by the front door so it's like a guest suite. The master has a double-door exit to the balcony as well as the main living room 5 panel slider. The 3BR gives an extra 2 chairs and table on the balcony (plus the original table/4 chair set and 2 loungers. Of any MVCI property this has by far the largest / best balcony I've seen. Rest of the inside is very well appointed including nice high end appliances... SubZero fridge/freezer and a convection micro. Off the laundry (full sized W/D) there is a storage closet with pretty much nothing in it. Was a great place to stash our suitcases! Master closet was big enough (with an air vent and a light) that we could put our 2yo in the PnP in there. Seems to work great and he slept very well.
Earlier this morning we walked the grounds. The pool itself is a great size for the number of units currently built. Lots of loungers and shade areas without much competition. Landscaping is lovely and well-kept inside the defined inside of the property. Definitely a "desert" view between the pool and the ocean... a road to nowhere and a bare patch between the golf course and the resort. We walked around behind the parking area/workout facility.. and it got a little sketchy from there. There is a boarded up building next to the OF units which has been vandalized/graffiti'd quite a bit. I'm surprised MR hasn't done more to cover up for it. There's a parking lot which seems to be used by locals going to the shore since we saw a couple cars and folks that just glared at us as they walked by. The path hasn't been kept up, nor the landscaping in this area. If MR owns that area, I hope they step up and clean up. I wonder what the full-time owners think of it all....
Overall it's a small beautiful property that is nestled wayyyyy back at the end of a windy road through the golf course. If you are looking for a peaceful place to read a book and enjoy a great view.. this is it! If you are looking for lots of activities, life and party...
One additional tidbit.. the Costco is only 2.5 miles from the resort area, so it was a great stop to get supplies. Still looking for the "normal" grocery.. that will be this afternoon's expedition....
