We've been back from Kauai for a little over a week now and when I have trouble sleeping, I close my eyes and fantasize about being back in Elizabeth's utterly amazing Airbnb abode, which always helps me drift back to sleep. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our time there. From the second we hit "send" (with bated breath!) on our request to stay to the moment we had to physically draaaaag ourselves out of there sighing and lamenting the fact we had to leave, we were filled with gratitude for this special haven and Elizabeth's wonderful aloha hospitality.
The pictures on the site are great and capture some of what the space is like, but truly they don't do the place justice. The view is ever-changing, always beautiful, and breath-taking to the point you can lose hours just watching the clouds move from the mountains over the ocean, through rainbows and sunsets. I am not kidding. There were freakin' rainbows almost everyday!!
And inside the place are all the comforts of the dream home you always wished you had. Both my boyfriend and I love to cook, so we ended up spending our evenings in, enjoying the bounty of the local farmers market and fish market. You know how you make melt-in-your-mouth-super-fresh-opah-steaks, freshly picked sugarloaf pineapples, and baby ahi filets taste even more amazing? Have a chef's kitchen equipped with a sub-zero fridge and fantastic gas range to cook them in. My mouth is watering right now thinking about the experience. Sigh.
In addition to the amazing kitchen, the multiple cozy areas to curl up in, the steamy rain shower, and the cloud of a king-size bed made leaving the place for adventures oh so difficult. Elizabeth has truly thought of every creature comfort and elevated it to heavenly.
Speaking of Elizabeth, we could not have asked for a better hostess. She sent clear directions and expert guidance on the place with great advice for local forays. And was totally responsive during our stay, in spite of having to leave town for a family emergency. Our only regret is not being able to meet her in person to thank her for all she did for us.
But we are already planning on going back and definitely know where we will stay. Do your heart, body, and soul a favor and add this place to your bucket list!
