We had a great time in Kauai and Dan and Erin's place was a good place to recover after hiking the Na Pali coast. The pool and hot tub were wonderful for our aching feet. It was a good launching point to explore the rest of the island - we drove to as many parts of the island as possible and were glad we chose to stay in the area we did. It was close to the things and places that we enjoyed the most during our stay. The space was comfortable for us, even without the A/C - there was a good cross wind that kept us cool enough at night and we were usually out and about during the day anyway. The only trouble we had was the neighbors dog - they must have had a new puppy or something but it didn't sleep through one of the two nights we were there, so neither did we. It would have been totally manageable except we needed to leave the windows open to keep the cross-breeze, so we couldn't shut it out by closing them. Someone left a note on their door, so apparently we weren't the only ones disturbed and hopefully it will be figured out soon. Despite that issue, we still give it 4 stars. As many others said, there were plenty of kitchen items to use, and we put them to good use with the amazing fruit available from the fruit stands around, and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai one evening as the rain fell and in the mornings with our tea as the sun came up.
