The location of this condo was PERFECT for us. This was our first visit to Kauai and we knew we wanted to be on the north shore. Having a stellar beach view across the street and a peaceful gorgeous green view from the lanai to the rear of the unit was so nice. Walking to Hideaway Beach, our favorite beach we enjoyed, was great. We were fine managing the steep rather treacherous trail but some may find it too hard to navigate, especially when muddy. The condo has great airflow with the ceiling fans and crossbreeze from screened windows. We cooked a ton, the kitchen is well outfitted. We shopped at Costco in Lihue when we landed, which was helpful for some things but also a challenge portion wise for two people... too much. Shopped for rest of things at Foodland in Princeville, which we heard was very expensive, but for us coming from the Bay Area, the prices seemed comparable (meaning yes, expensive). Stylewise this condo could have more nice touches and character (I think we're used to staying in more unique airbnbs), but it was clean, pleasant and hey, the surroundings can not be beat.
