This place was a great "home base" for my husband and I as we explored the southern and western parts of Kauai. It is a very short walk or short drive from several fantastic snorkeling, hiking, and beach spots. We also took a couple half-day or day excursions from here to western places like Waimea Canyon and a raft trip that went up west side of island to the Na Pali coast. It is also close to some fun restaurants for dinner. It also has an outdoor shower where you can wash off the beach before you go inside, as well as a brilliantly stocked beach excursion closet with cooler, chairs, etc. The washer and dryer were also very handy! Kathleen was very easy to communicate with, so check-in and other details were a breeze. We hope to return some day because it was perfect for how we like to travel.
