Perfect start to our Kauai vacation - you walk in and are immediately greeted by the calming waves of the ocean. We saw sea turtles right from the balcony! There's A/C but we never actually used it, preferring the sea breeze instead. We rented snorkels for the week from Boss Frog's next door, and had some decent snorkeling right outside. Walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. Easy parking, check-in, decent kitchen and we really appreciated the beach equipment like chairs, towels, boogie board.
