I did a LOT of research before booking our accommodations during our first trip to Kauai. After all the research, I knew we had to stay at Marie & Randy's rental. We moved our vacation up six weeks just so we could stay here because they were booked solid otherwise. During our stay, I kept waiting for the "catch" to be revealed because this Airbnb seemed too good to be true. It's priced better than the resort condos & has a much more reasonable cleaning fee. The location is great & all the pictures made it look amazing...
READ CAREFULLY: There is NO catch! Absolutely EVERYTHING was just as advertised, if not better!!!
It's a 5-7 minute walk to the Grand Hyatt & Shipwreck Beach. It's a 12-15 minute walk to Poipu Beach. I timed them. The dishware, rolling cooler, snorkel gear, extra towels, etc. all came in handy. We even used the first-aid kit after a strenuous hike. They've provided nearly anything you could need.
When we return to Kauai, we will arrange our whole trip around the ability to stay at Marie & Randy's place again!
