We chose this particular house in Kekaha, Kauai because of the location on the beach, the dry climate, and because it would accommodate our large family. We were traveling to Kauai for our daughter to get married, and for my husband and I to renew our wedding vows. First of all, the pictures online do not do this house justice. It is SO beautiful and spacious. Patrick and Jules, the owners, are wonderful. Patrick was great at communicating before and during our stay, and Jules met us at the door to show us around when we arrived. Jules gave us the combination to the front door keypad. We were thrilled that we didn't have to mess with keys getting lost or misplaced. Right outside the front door is a kidney-shaped pond that holds two of their adorable turtles! We enjoyed watching and feeding them. The bottom level of the house has a large two-car garage. We were shown snorkels, a beach umbrella, beach towels, and beach chairs for us to use. There is also an extra refrigerator in the garage! There are three bedroom suites on the bottom level. The stairs to the second story are to the left as you enter the home. The first suite was a full queen suite with a television and nice bathroom. There is a private deck/entry to the garden area from this room. The second suite has a king size bed and a massive walk in shower. It also has two separate sinks, television, and private deck with table and chairs facing the beach. The third suite has a king size bed, big bathroom, and private deck/entry with table and chairs facing the beach. Also on the bottom level of the home is a big bookcase filled with a nice selection of books! The beautiful stairs lead up to the main level of the house. On this level is the fourth suite: a massive king size bedroom suite with a huge bathroom, large television and a huge walk in closet. We were pleased to see that the closet held a baby crib, a portable Pack and Play playpen, and a booster chair and stroller. The large bathroom has two sinks, a private toilet, and a nice sized shower. My daughter and I used this room to get ready for our special wedding and vow renewal. The fifth bedroom does not include a bathroom. It has a full size bed, dresser with mirror and two closets. There is a separate bathroom on this level, and it includes a shower. The kitchen, laundry room and great room are all on this level. We understood why as we saw the beautiful ocean view through the large glass doors. LAUNDRY ROOM: The laundry room includes a nice washer, dryer and sink. The cupboards are filled with extra sheets, blankets and pillows, extra fluffy towels and laundry pods. There is a door in the laundry room that leads to a small balcony and stairs down to the bottom level. KITCHEN: The kitchen is large and filled with everything you will need to cook every day, if you wish. Included are salt, pepper, spices and so many extras. There is a large refrigerator/freezer, cook top, double oven, dishwasher, cups, plates, silverware, drinking glasses, wine glasses, toaster, rice cooker, large blender, pots, pans, bowls, containers ~ and much more. Also included are dishwasher pods, liquid soap, hand soap, cleaning supplies, a vacuum, broom and dust pan, iron, blow dryers, curling irons, shampoo, conditioner, lotion....and so much more.The great room consisted of a large living room and dining room. The living room has two comfortable queen size sofa beds in it. We know this because we slept on one of them! We actually chose to sleep on the sofa bed because of the view of the ocean. There is a writing desk, and a large television with cable TV and wi-fi. The dining room portion has a large glass dining room table with six chairs. Three additional bar stool chairs are next to the breakfast bar. There is a cute coffee cart with a coffee maker, a Keurig and a hot pot for making tea. Also included were a nice selection of teas and coffee filters. The great room measures approximately 25' wide. The balcony off the great room is lovely. We enjoyed many hours sitting at the porch swing or on the hammock, or sitting at the table and chairs. There were approximately 10 extra chairs outside for all of your guests! We loved watching our family down at the beach below, boogie boarding or body surfing. Patrick and his nice neighbor supplied us with so many delicious, ripe mangoes. We enjoyed eating them every day. The garden area is lovely. The flowers are abundant, and included plumeria and hibiscus. Jules showed us one of the bushes off the lawn area that had little white berries on them. The berries, when broken open, would take the itch out of mosquito bites. We ended up using some on the last day of our stay, and they worked! Jules also knew the names of all of the beautiful flowers and shrubs. There are four beach chairs on the spacious lawn where we sat at night to watch the beautiful stars! I even saw Scorpio's Heart for the first time. We met the gardener, Alan, who comes once a week to work in the yard and dispose of the trash. He is a very nice man, and we enjoyed visiting with him. This area of Kekaha is very private. The house was perfect for our family. There is a two-lane road that separates the property from the beach, but traffic was never an issue. There is a little pathway off of the front lawn through the shrubbery to the street to the beach. It's a very short walk to a huge expanse of beach. We would definitely recommend this airbnb, and we will definitely stay again if we come back to Kauai! Thank...
