My husband and I went on a Hawaii honeymoon and Kauai was our first stop. I am so glad to have had a kitchen, coffee machine, and a quiet neighborhood. We went to a local farm who gave us breadfruit and were able to bake it! :) The description about the Kauai roosters making noise wasn't a big deal for us as we came from the mainland (Eastern Time) and naturally woke up before they did. Having washer/dryer was super helpful; we were able to pack light and go to island hopping afterwards!
