You cannot find a place with a better view or access to an amazing beach. If I wasn't so determined to see as much of Kauai as possible I could have holed up in the Pali Ke Kua property and been happy for the entire stay. The condo was very comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Right beside our building is a path down to Hideaways beach which we had to ourselves most of the time. The beach was great for snorkelling and we even saw sea turtles swimming around the rocky bluff at the base of the property.
My wife and I enjoyed the pool and especially the hot tub after a long day of hiking. The kids just plain enjoyed having a pool and during any down time they would just amble over there and play for an hour or two.
The condo is in very close proximity to a grocery store and a couple of great restaurants, including a great pizza place right on the property that overlooks the pool. We mostly acquired breakfast items and would sit out on the lanai overlooking the ocean and have our coffee, eat fresh fruit from one of the many local farm markets, and just breath in that tropical air. I can't think of a better way to start the day. To end, you can also sit on the lanai and take in a nightly show of a world class sunset over Hanalei Bay.
Cash was always very responsive in our communications leading up to our trip but what I was really surprised about was how much he reached out while we were there. Literally just to check in and make sure things were going well and then offer a few additional suggestions of things we might enjoy. I was pretty open with him about what we liked and what we hoped to accomplish in our vacation to the garden island. As a result I think it made it easy for Cash to draw upon his obviously deep knowledge of the area to offer us suggestions that were just perfect for us. This also included a recommendation to a tiki bar/restaurant that is right around the corner. Had our last dinner there to celebrate and it was a total blast.
I will not hesitate to stay here the next time we come to Kauai.
