I can't begin to express how lucky I was to find Margaret's Airbnb last minute & how overly impressed I was with my experience. My husband and I had stayed at the Grand Hyatt for the week prior on vacation. My upcoming travel plans fell thru the following week and I impromptly decided to stay longer in Kauai to work and play another week on my own.... Kapa'a was a lovely town we had done some shopping in a few days earlier and I pulled up my Airbnb app to find that Margaret had 1 available apartment that coming week. She very quickly responded to my inquiry with full details and I easily completed my reservation. I was more than impressed with my visit- This place had everything a person could need!!
I reached out to the apartment manager (Arnold) the day before arrival to ask if he knew the best method for me to get transportation as we had to turn in our rental car. He graciously offered to pick me up! We communicated via text- he responds back to you right away. I was able to "rent" a vehicle from the property whenever I needed that week- which was SO AMAZING considering you have to book a rental car months in advance through a normal rental company. Not only that, but they had kayaks to rent as well (at a more than fair rate) and a plethora of bicycles to use anytime- complimentary. WOW, WOW, WOW!
Upon arrival, I found a lovely mix of welcome gifts: Hawaiian coffee, granola and a few essentials in the fridge. After settling in, Arnold brought me a fresh coconut from the yard- again, WOW! Talk about hospitality!! The apartment was very clean/tidy and had every accommodation needed in the bathroom and kitchen. The AC was turned on before I arrived and I walked into a very comfortable atmosphere. My stay even included laundry on sight; which I didn't expect to use, but came in very handy after my explorations! Keep in mind, it's nothing fancy, but my every need was met and I felt more than comfortable staying on my own here. Arnold was BEYOND accommodating to any request and truly makes you feel like family.
The location is the best part, aside from all the extra's this place offered! It is located just minutes away for the beachfront & the MOST GLORIOUS 8 mile bike trail. You can easily walk to a large variety of delicious restaurants, pharmacy, gas station, grocery stores and food trucks.
I plan on 100% going back for another solo expedition one day and plan on staying here again if I do <3
