Absolutely fantastic!! We really enjoyed our stay here. My review will cover the AirBnB itself, the location, and the staff!
First off, the AirBnB was great. The AC kept the room nice and cool, and the kitchen was really convenient to have. The kitchen had most of the basic appliances and cookware you need, and folks have left behind items like condiments, cooking oil, coffee, spices, etc. The apartment complex is within walking distance to a grocery store. When we arrived, the room was very clean, and the sheets and linens were all fresh. The grounds of the apartments are beautiful! As soon as you enter the complex, you feel like you’re transported to another world. Highly recommend eating breakfast at the gazebo looking out towards Sleeping Giant mountain! It’s breath-taking! As other people mentioned, the chickens start making noise around 3am. We placed the rotating fan next to the wall and put it on medium and that was enough to drown out the noise!
Check in was super easy, and it wasn’t a problem that our flight was coming in late at night.
Take advantage of the free snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, bikes, and helmets in the sheds on the property! They really made our experience extra special! And don’t worry about packing a beach towel either, there were two in our AirBnB.
Kapa’a is a great location on the island - downtown Kapa’a has great restaurants (like Pono Market), and you’re only a 35/40 minute drive from Hanalei in the North or Poipu in the South.
An 8 mile bike trail is located very close, and the AirBnB provides free bikes and helmets!
And last but not least, the staff was awesome. Arnold was always around to help (he even offered to carry our beach stuff back to the shed when we got home one day and gave us a ride to the airport when we left). As others mentioned, Margaret sends an awesome guide detailing her favorite attractions and restaurants - we went to a lot of her suggestions and they were all excellent!
We will absolutely stay here next time we’re in Kaua’i! Only negative was that the WiFi didn’t really work, but that really just helped us unplug and relax!
