Staying here was the launchpad to our perfect Kauai vacation. This apartment was newly renovated with a gorgeous, clean bathroom and perfect small kitchen with all the amenities and tools needed for cooking (which we did plenty of). The bed is delightful comfy memory foam and the linens/blanket are of a light, soft cotton. There was a bag of local coffee, fresh fruit, and snacks waiting for us as well as beverages in the fridge. Air conditioning and plenty of fans kept the place as cool as our hearts desired. There are plenty of washers and dryers available free for use, with detergents provided. There are bicycles, beach chairs, beach towels, and snorkel gear galore for use as well. It is very easy to get anywhere on the island from this location and even though we spent most of our days hanging further up north- I would stay here again over anywhere else because of the convenience of this location.
We had the pleasure of meeting Margaret and Jack for movie night when we arrived (worth sticking around for) and they are such a lovely couple. They were very kind and accommodating when we initially messed up our reservation- rescuing us from a last minute disaster. My husband and I were eloping and they even left us a very sweet and thoughtful wedding present!
Arnold and Ida who live on and manage this beautiful little neighborhood are by far the most wonderful people you could ever hope to meet. They really made our time comfortable and and our trip special. They arranged for us to rent a kayak through a friend for half of what it would have cost elsewhere, Arnold towed it to the river for us and picked it up after. They helped us when we needed air in the tire of our rental car (no gas station had a working air compressor), gave my husband an ice pack and pain cream when he twisted his ankle, provided us with sauces and seasonings for cooking, and were always available if we had questions or needed advice. Truly, though, just getting to know them and having them near provided the comfort of family and some of my best memories are of chatting with them or sitting outside at night laughing together at the antics of the many adorable kittens that roam the property. (Kauai is full of cats.. and chickens!) I can’t recommend staying here highly enough and we will be dreaming of it until we return!
