This place was so sweet and charming! We loved our stay here and were sad to leave! Margaret describes this place very well as a “home away from home” and this was just what we were looking for - a way to be a part of the island that felt more integrated than a hotel.

Margaret’s pre-communication was clear and concise and she was quick to respond. Our on site host Ida was so sweet and accommodating. There was a lot of attention to detail here as our room had a complimentary bag of Kauai coffee and milk, and some fresh fruit and locally made granola when we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and storing food. There was a binder in the room with suggested local dining and activities, and all that we tried were spot on. The suggested bike path started right across the street from our place and was an absolutely gorgeous ride made so easy by the beach cruisers provided with the rental unit. We borrowed and enjoyed a few provided boogie boards for one of our trips to the beach as well.

To address the few negative comments I had read prior to renting — our place was spotless and very well maintained, and we never saw a bug in the unit. There was a small lizard on our lanai one morning, but this is a part of tropical island living and we loved it! The wild roosters roaming on site were fun for us to watch and we found them absolutely everywhere on the island, so if you’re traveling to Kauai you might as well embrace this local flavor of the island! We were personally never bothered by their crowing. Although we had neighbors on both sides of our unit, it was very private and generally quiet. I heard the breeze rustling through the many surrounding trees every morning while having coffee on the porch and it was very peaceful. Although we never met Margaret in person as she was on the mainland, her warm presence was definitely felt throughout and we would love to visit her place again when returning to Kauai.
