Lydia and Charlie provided our family with THE MOST beautiful AND cozy home for our 8 nights in Kauai! It was all they advertised it would be, and more. The house feels very private. Sitting on the lanai, you might imagine you are all alone in the jungle - just you and the geckos, maybe a cow, or a horse, possibly a little donkey might visit, and then the mama hen will bring her brood of chicks by in hopes a little chunk of fruit is tossed her way. But you don't have to see another human if you don't want to. Our family went between the lanai and the beach, and there was nothing more we could want for! The walk to Tunnels Beach is easy peasy, and the house comes with a heavy duty cart that makes the walk all that much easier. We also cooked a lot in the kitchen and grilled on the lanai. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment. The only thing I needed to buy was a tea infuser. So I did, and then I left it there for you other tea lovers ;-) The beds were comfortable, and there are plenty of fans to keep everyone cool. There's also a great local store less than 10 minutes down the road that has a little of everything. Our family is gluten free and dairy free, and the Wainiha Market had plenty for us to choose from! If you are looking for a quiet getaway, where all of your woes will be replaced with wonder and your spirit will be washed clean by the majestic reef along Tunnels Beach, then you have found your place to stay!! You can't go wrong with Lydia and Charlie's place!
