The balcony is worth everything here! Because you are directly above the crashing surf, the ocean breeze and ocean song will be your constant companion. Location- wise, you are directly in the middle of Kauai which makes it so convenient to explore the Southern Coast or the Northern Coast, and frankly, there are wonderful adventures and beaches right in your backyard here! Please note that this property is right along the main highway on the island so you will experience some traffic as you come and go to and from your Hawaii home. We weren't bothered by traffic noise--because we were enjoying the ocean noise instead. It is a perfect spot for 2 people with some really nice amenities for your new life as a beach bum! You will love it!
