The property is right in front of the beach and close to the Waimea canyon, but much less tourists so if you wish a calm holiday, this place would be a great fit. The beach in front of the house might not be recommended for swimming because it’s a bit rocky, but if you drive just a few minutes away, there’s a beach with lifeguards where you can swim. A beautiful hidden gem, ‘Polihale’ beach, is also 30 minutes drive. The Waimea canyon is 20 to 30 minutes drive from the house. Some people commented that the road in front of the house could be noisy, but we didn’t find it so noisy. The view and the sound of ocean offsets sone car noise. The terrace is shared with a neighbor but we never find it bothering. The house is fully equipped and we can use beach equipments if the house. The owner, Kevin lives down stairs and often around, so he gave us a lot of tips and info about the places to visit and eat. You can find restaurants and supermarkets 5 minutes drive from the property so it was really convenient. I recommend anyone who wish to find a quieter holiday in Kauai Island with a nice view!
