If you're staying in the North Shore and Melissa and Ian's place is available, BOOK IT NOW. It was a DELIGHT to stay in their guest house after my boyfriend and I finished the Kalalau trail (and the in-house laundry came super in handy with all the mud)! Incredible location (they are literally across the street from the Queen's Bath trailhead), private, and a comfy and stylish (!!!) place you'll never want to leave (yes, even on a beautiful day in Kauai)! When you do get outside, Melissa and Ian have lots of beach amenities (umbrellas, towels, chairs, snorkel gear, bikes, body boards, surfboards, SUP boards, etc) so you'll be in good shape. Also, Melissa is the biggest sweetheart in the world! Would stay here again without a second thought next time we go back -- hopefully soon!
