First trip to Kauai and Pamela's condo couldn't have been a better place to experience it. Condo is located a 5 minute walk from a great public access beach to the west and a 5 minute walk to the east is a very nice Hyatt resort. Both beaches are great places to spend a day snorkling, surfing or sunbathing. The beach to the west is a great place to catch beautiful sunsets and the beach to the west provides access to a great stretch of the Heritage Trail that provides great ocean and landscape views. It also leads to the Makauwahi Cave reserve, which was an interesting visit. Plenty of restaurant choices, a grocery store and shopping also within walking distance. We used a rental car for access to the north side of the island but with the beach and hiking during the day and condo pools at night, we could have just relaxed in the condo area the entire trip. Pamela provides a lot of nice little extras that make it easy to enjoy all the area has to offer. Her communication is timely and access excellent. Highly recommend.
