We loved this little condo. It was very well-equipped with everything we needed. We did cook a few meals there and the mini kitchen worked great! The location is perfect if you plan on spending most of your time on the North Side of the island and is a short drive from beautiful Hanalei (or a very scary walk with no sidewalks as we attempted). If you plan on spending a lot of time on other parts of the island you will be doing a lot of driving...just something to keep in mind before choosing a place on the North part of the island. On the second Sunday of every month there is a night market right near the condo with locally made goods. Lani and Sky are great at communicating with you and are readily available for questions. The only negative was a note we received from a neighbor for being what they thought was too loud. We had gotten up early to head to Waimea Canyon and do some hiking and it's a long drive. The note was very passive aggressive and put a bit of a damper on our vacation. I was told this was very bizarre and not a normal occurrence. I would suggest if you are going to be up early and moving around the condo you are almost silent or you may want to stay somewhere else. Also, listen to Lani and Sky on directions to the condo. Our GPS tried to take us to a different area but we followed the ones they gave us, which were very detailed and accurate.
