The layout of the house was perfect for 3 couples - with privacy in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The shared space, living, dining and kitchen were comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and we liked the open design - we cooked Thanksgiving dinner and enjoyed a few other meals at the house, and also local restaurants. Of course, sitting on the porch looking at the ocean was a favorite activity, between outings to hike, kayak, snorkel and see Kauai. We also enjoyed being on the bike path - mostly we did walks/runs, but the bike rental shop is close by for those who want to bike. Great to be able to walk along the beach away from traffic. Little extras were nice, like the cooler box, so we could take picnics with us on our outings. Check out the Weds afternoon farmers market nearly - bought some flowers and yummy fruit!
