We had a wonderful stay at "Tessie's Place." Terri was an excellent host; she gave very easy-to-follow directions, had a basket of tropical fruit and Hawaiian coffee and cookies set out for us on the patio table, welcomed us when we arrived, and gave us some great tips on the area. The apartment was lovely-- it's a room next to Terri's condo with it's own entrance, bathroom, and covered porch. The apartment was spotless. While there's no kitchen, there is a refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot. There's a very convenient grocery store/small shopping center nearby, complete with a Lappert's (seriously delicious Kauai ice cream shop). It's a great location if you plan to spend many days on the north and east sides of the island. Kauai is small enough that day trips to the south side of the island are relatively easy as well; it takes a little under an hour and a half to drive to Waimea.
