I highly recommend staying at David's place; it is a great value right in the heart of a resort area. To get to the beach you can drive a few minutes or walk 8-10 minutes on the greenbelt, (which is accessible from the backyard). Kalapaki Joe's is 5 min walk: Brennecke's Grill is 8 min walk. CJM horse riding is 2 miles away; Poipu Beach is an 8 min walk - it has a shallow lagoon great for young kids to swim in. The bottom level of Brennecke's Grill has a small deli and hot dog stand; also cold drinks. Great for taking something back to the room. David is very knowledgeable about all things Kauai so if you have questions or issues, he is around much of the time and happy to chat. There is a mini fridge, toaster oven, microwave and coffee maker. This location was ideal for me especially because I didn't have a car. I would definitely stay here again! People want to feel cared about and treated well; David is definitely a kind chap that will make you feel at home. :)
