The location of this cottage was convenient and had a lot of options that you could walk to. It is also a good location to jump off from and explore the rest of the island. Our trip started out with an adventure backpacking the Kalalau Trail and afterward we wanted a spot that we could use as home base. The trees surrounding the property helped it feel private even though you aren’t too far off the main road.
The cottage has a lot of wear and tear. A cabinet is missing in the kitchen and some of the towels and linens had stains. We didn’t like the key lockbox situation. It’s an old school lockbox and I’m curious how often the code is actually changed and they want you to leave the key in there when you leave. The road noise was loud at night but literally the day we left they were installing AC so you might not notice the road noise if you have the AC on and the windows closed.
The welcome book had a lot of great information on the area and the island in general. The check out description is different in the book than it is on Airbnb app. We followed the directions on the app. They also had an awesome Kauai travel book in the house, we used it a lot.
