Tony's place is a well-worn, comfy, cosy location for your stay in Kauai. We rested there for two weeks and found it to be exactly as advertised. The kitchen is very well outfitted for our daily meal prep......even a tea kettle! The bed is comfortable and we appreciated having the sofa for extra soft seating. All beach gear is provided, even folding beach chairs which we were thankful to have in the car as we toured about the Island. Communication with Tony was promt and check-in instructions spot on...no arrival stress at 1:00 in the morning. There are many restaurants and amenities in walking distance of Tony's place. Our favourite hang out was Lava Lava Beach Club a short stroll along the beach...toes in the sand dining with a spectacular view. If you crave a juicy steak, try the Bull Shed, just a very short drive away. Arrive early, no reservations....its a hot spot. There is a nice shady trail just north of IOB leading to a less travelled beach...take the chairs and cooler and enjoy a true 'castaway' day.
The Kapaa area definitely is the best location on the Island for touring Kauai as noted in many previous reviews. We love the "low-key" vibe found on this coast as opposed to the more gentrified areas of Princeville and Poipu although they are terrific areas to tour. Poipu has a good swimming beach but we found it to be too busy. We were delighted to find that after a 21-year absence, not much has changed on Kauai..and thats the way we like it! Mahalo Tony.
