We started our stay here in Kauai and it's been an amazing experience thus far. Jeff and Shana's condo is located in the North Shore area near Hanalei Bay, which will be hard to beat! We woke up early (6ish am) to get a head start to hike the hanakapi'ai falls trail (kalalau trail), which I highly recommend. Bring versatile footwear as this hike will cross over a stream several times. When we landed at the Lihue airport we stopped by the Costco nearby to grab a few items, and took full advantage of the lovely, equipped kitchen to cook several home cooked meals. However, we rented bikes at the BiKe Dokter and ate the Dolphin Restaurant many times, which you must do. My husband and I talked about coming back and bringing his brother and sister-in-law since this condo has two bedrooms and two showers. We didn't have views of the ocean but that didn't matter when our view was of the mountains! The ocean is seriously outside our door step, just not a window view. We visited the lawn chairs overlooking the water which was impeccable, especially during sunset! On our first night we couldn't figure out how to turn on the smart tv (too smart for us ;) ) so we called Jeff and Shana, which they happened to be in the area and so they stopped by to make sure we were taken care of. Our experience was incredible! No AC in the unit, but it cools down quickly as soon as you open the windows and turn all the fans on. Plus, if you're out and about, it doesn't matter anyways. The nights are breezy and the taking a quick cool shower always helps. Mahalo! Xoxox
