We truly enjoyed our stay at Carolyn & Aart's place! We picked it based on its central location in relation to the things we wanted to do and were pleased with how easy it was to go either north or south. We also based our choice on the airbnb picture of the view, clearly taken from the deck, view- blocking trees happily not an issue. In addition, we enjoyed the eastern exposure which made for pleasant afternoon/evenings on the balcony with no direct hot sun (morning sunrises were often lovely as well). Unexpectedly, while sitting on the deck several late afternoons, we were treated to some pretty spectacular whale performances - tail slapping, impressive breaches - so bring binoculars! The bike path goes in front of the complex and bike rentals are conveniently located next door. This unit won't accommodate extra large families - it has a pull out sofa bed plus the king size bed in the bedroom; but we noted there is a pack and play in the closet along with other amenities. Nearby there is a wonderful beach for little ones south of the complex (Lydgate Park) which also is good for snorkeling. North of the complex is a popular surfer beach, so plenty of beach activity nearby for all. We will be staying here again next time we come to Kauai.
