We had an excellent stay at Jared’s place! Jared is a top-notch host. When we first arrived, I was unable to connect to my work VPN over the WiFi, and Jared took it upon himself to research the problem and find a solution. This showed me that he truly cares about his guests. He responded to messages quickly and thoroughly. As for the apartment, it was really clean, spacious, and comfortable. The kitchen was very well-equipped for cooking, and we had everything we needed for the pool/beach. The property is right on Kappa beach, which is nice and was not crowded at all during our stay. I would also recommend driving about 10 minutes north to Kealia beach. Pono Kai resort has great amenities besides just a pool, including a gym and tennis courts. The property is also right on the Kauai walking trail, which is great for coastal walking and beautiful views. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby, some within walking distance. There are coin-operated laundry machines right near the apartment, and the front desk supplies coins and detergent. It was great that the front desk is available 24 hours a day so we could always call if we had issues. Staying in Kapaa is convenient for visiting all parts of the island. We made a few trips to Poipu since the weather tends to be drier there, and it took about 40 minutes one way. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here, and would definitely stay again!
