We had planned to spend our week on Kauai camping but due to bad weather we opted to get an Airbnb on a last minute booking. We stayed at Shane’s for three nights and despite the late notice (he had only recently listed the property and we were his first guests), he made us feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
The accommodation was clean, comfortable and ideally located for exploring the north shore of Kauai. The bedroom area was spacious and would probably be ideally suited for a couple - in our case we were friends travelling together so Shane provided an additional double air bed which was comfortable, and still left plenty of space in the room. Furthermore, a kitchen area and basic cooking equipment were provided, allowing us to be more cost effective by cooking our own meals in the evening.
Most importantly, Shane was an incredibly generous host, providing anything that we required including local tips on places to visit/park and letting us wash our clothes which had got soaking wet during our camping experience. He even went beyond that by taking us surfing despite us being total beginners (providing the equipment to do so as well).
It is worth noting that we did encounter some minor issues (e.g. noises from the shower, doors not shutting easily) which were likely due to us being their first guests. However, Shane seemed keen to gain this feedback in order to further improve the experience in the future!
