We enjoyed our stay at Kimberly’s place in Kapa’a! She gave great recommendations and easy to follow instructions. Only recommendation/suggestion would be to upgrade the mattress, other than that this place had everything needed for a peaceful stay.
As far as the area goes, Kapa’a was very central to things. This location made it easy to do a day trip on the north shore and then another day trip on the south shore. Lots of happy hours at local restaurants nearby as well.
