Can't beat the location — such a short walk to Poipu beach, and reasonable drives to Lihue and the south/west sides of the island. We started a lot of adventures from here.
The kitchen is stocked enough to make a few basic meals if you like, and it's overall a comfortable spot to rest and take a break from the sun. But really, the reason to be here is its proximity to so much of what you really want to enjoy when in Kauai.
