Our family of four (w/1 toddler and an 8 yr old) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Coconut House. Cindy was very communicative and helpful leading up to our stay. The house is perfect for the climate, with lots of airflow, high ceilings, and fans. The house really served as a complete home while we were there, with plenty of room for the food we'd picked up during our visit to Costco on the way up from the South shore. Practically anything you might need to prepare meals is already there, as well. The location is perfect for all North shore activities, which for us included visits to the beach, Kilauea lighthouse and wildlife refuge, hiking trails, nearby park (5 min drive) for the kids, and lounging/reading/playing games in the many nooks of this beautiful home. We had everything we needed to make this part of our vacation incredible. One thing to point out for visitors to the island is that Kauai is a tropical paradise, and full of all types of life, which includes chickens, geckos, lizards, and all the things those guys eat. We learned from an incredibly knowledgeable docent at the Lighthouse, that Hurricane Iniki, in 1992, was a direct hit on Kauai and that it destroyed many of the chicken coops throughout the island, releasing lots of chickens into the wild, so today there chickens seemingly everywhere on Kauai. So, you might get the odd chicken duet at 5 am, or rooster crowing for dawn, even while it's still dark. For us, this became part of the wonderful experience.
