Erin is 100% deserving of the title "Superhost" for so many reasons!! Right when I requested the booking, she cared enough to make sure I was aware of Kauai's COVID travel restrictions. Fast forward to our trip, we were in love with our place from the moment we stepped in the house and saw how modern yet homey the place was :) Our house was super clean, spacious, and we loved the personal touches (I actually ended up buying the "Hanalei Bay" poster you see in one of the photos from another store!)
Where Erin really went above and beyond in our books, however, was on the last day of our stay. Due to a recent landslide, Hanalei only had a single lane open during certain times of the day. Unfortunately, we got stuck in Hanalei (missing the cutoff time by a minute) and missed our ATV trip and flight. :( Erin and her cleaning crew were gracious enough to let us have a late check-in, meaning her cleaning crew would have to rush before the next group arrived. When we explained our situation, she was so understanding and mentioned "Aloha spirit"—her kindness made a tough situation so much more manageable, and epitomized in one interaction what I love about Hawaii and how they treat others! If you want a place to comfortably and truly soak in Kauai and its nature-filled beauty—all with the perfect host—this is the place to stay!
