We had a great time exploring Kauai from Jenny's condo. Kapa'a seems to be a pretty happening area. Lots of shops and restaurants on the main strip. It's just a bit north of the airport, so quite central, and good for exploring the entire island. The condo itself is quite modern and well equipped. It is on the main floor of a large 3 or 4 story resort type complex. The view from the balcony at the back is spectacular, right on the ocean. A great place to sit and have coffee and breakfast in the morning. Easy access to the beach, but it doesn't seem to be a popular spot for swimming. Maybe the waves are a bit too rough. We never saw anyone out there. The bedroom is right at the entrance to the unit as you walk in from the parking lot. We found it could be a bit too noisy to leave the bedroom windows open at night, so we just used the ceiling fan and it was fine. Overall, a great stay in a beautiful location.
