The condo was comfortable and conveniently located for north shore activities. Annie and Greg were very responsive and attentive. Compared to our last (and only other) Kauai visit, when we stayed in a residential neighborhood west of Kapa'a, this neighborhood seems more oriented around visitors than locals; though there does seem to be a mix of short and longer-term residents. The shopping center nearby (about a 10 minute walk) has a substantial grocery store, some easy restaurant and snack options, and some more touristy businesses. Getting to Kapa'a takes about 30 minutes.
