This beautiful cottage next to the world’s prettiest summer swimming beach will be not just a house but a Hawaiian home for you and your family. We’ve stayed in some wonderful Airbnbs over the years but this is our favorite. We cooked and walked to town for take out and ate every meal in the lanai with flowers and grass and trees and sunsets to entertain us. We walked everywhere, to the grocery, the liquor store, the food trucks, the very fun luau at Tahiti Nui, and of course the gentle waves of Hanalei Bay. The two to three minute showers that came every day kept us cool and passing clouds and trade winds prevented sunburns. If you are all healthy and can walk 2 miles or so without difficulty, a car is an unnecessary expense. Be aware that there’s no Uber or Lyft for short trips, but Holoholo Mobility provides the best ever friendly transportation from North Shore to Lihue Airport, ask for Jon. Of course if you want to access the stores up in Princeville, you should rent a car, or if you have little kids or elders who can’t do longer walks. But back to Kuuipo: the AC in great room and primary bedroom works great. The other two bedrooms don’t have AC but they have overhead fans and we left our bedroom doors open and were quite comfortable. The light and cleanliness of this cottage will relax you right away. We loved the time we spent at home there and had everything we needed to be comfortable.
And now about Lisa and Kristine with StayKauai Vacation property management. They treated us like beloved family and were so warm and caring and excellent at their jobs. When we return to Kauai we will always ask them to help us, because they captured our hearts right along w the island itself. Mahalo and warm Aloha.
