We loved Sally's place as a base to explore Kauai.
The local beach (which you have direct and very close access to, albeit a steep path down) is as beautiful as you could ever want and always quiet. It's also a haven for turtles ... we saw them every time we snorkelled here. :-)
There is a shopping centre close by which has most everything you could need (Foodland, restaurants and cafes, etc) and then it is a short 10 min drive down to Hanalei town itself.
Finally, Sally was super easy to communicate with in preparing for our trip and provided a range of really useful tips for our stay.
Overall - loved our stay, loved Kauai and this was the perfect spot to take it all in!
