This place is really a gem. If you are debating about location - it is really easy to go down the hill into Hanalei, and the fact that it is South of Hanalei by 15 mins actually makes it easier if you need to go to the other side of the island (there are some attractions nearer Lihue, etc - so this makes the drive easier). The host was very communicative, and the house really has all you need. A gorgeous golf course view, super clean and comfortable rooms. And, we had a nesting pair of albatross birds right outside the living room window!. All good! Tips on staying in this area: Stop at Costco right after you land (it is near airport), and stock up. The prices at regular grocery stores on the island (as well as most things like restaurants) can get pretty crazy high. ENJOY
