I had been to Kauai several times before, so I recognized that the general location of Nico Hale would be a great place to explore & relax in the great beauty of the north shore. Close to beaches, trails and Hanalei! Even still, I was surprised by the dramatic setting and amazing views from the house. Its a special place. The space is open, well appointed for beach-going, home cooking & relaxing. I was thrilled with our stay and would be delighted to one day return. It's an amazing place to stay and Jessica and Luckey made everything a breeze.
