We had a great trip on the island with Carlos! Spacious, all the amenities we needed, and the host couple were so flexible and kind. Can't wait to come back. Mahalo!!

Jeffrey was responsive and kind and the bed and pillows were very comfortable, however the vehicle needs some work for the price point. The sliding door needed to be slammed to close and didn’t easily open from the inside. Often times we would just crawl in and out of the front seat so we wouldn’t have to deal with the sliding door. The transmission occasionally slipped and made us nervous while driving around the island, especially uphill. There’s no power or water in the vehicle so we were very limited on charging our devices and clean up. We did buy our own cups/bowls because none were provided. There was a cooler but obviously we had to buy ice daily because of no power. The window covers were poorly fitted so we often felt exposed, especially at night. We rented a different Outdoorsy van on Kauai for a lower price point that had all these amenities and much more. It did make us feel slightly taken advantage of in this rental. Read the description very carefully and adjust your expectations accordingly.
