Thoughtful decorating and furnishings, excellent maintenance, and seemingly new swimming pools with spas make this condominium unit an excellent choice If Kapa'a is your desired home base for a Kauai visit. Other virtues include the quick (less than 1 mile) access to Long's and Safeway. Note that Kapa'a traffic can be very impacted during protracted commute hours (southbound in the morning and northbound in the evenings.) And the beaches in the area, the east side location, and the on shore winds don't make this the best Hawaiian island location for sunset cocktails, or a casual snorkel. With careful selection of time of departure, the apartment's location provided easy access for investigating all areas of the Island, including the Princeville (etc.) area to the North, Poipu (with shops and beaches) to the South, and Waimea Canyon. Highlight of our trip was a helicopter ride over the island.
