Another reviewer said it best- staying at Nalani Place is like staying with friends… very thoughtful and well prepared friends! Hands down, this is the best AirBnb I’ve ever stayed in. It’s probably nicer than my own home. 🤣
Don’t be fooled by the exterior- it looks like an unassuming condo. However the inside is completely redone and feels like a sanctuary! The pictures are 100% accurate but really don’t do it justice. The photos don’t feature the wonderful amenities provided like a kitchen full of tools and equipment, three (!) coffeemakers and associated coffee appliances, and a fully stocked linen closet. The extra little touches (cleaning supplies, shampoo/conditioner, extra linens, etc) were so welcoming. We appreciated the many beach items available (chairs, towels, snorkeling equipment, beach toys, etc). As the listing states, there is no AC. However we felt very comfortable in the property with all the fans provided! As some reviews state, it can get noisy from the chickens around. We found the property to be quiet and peaceful, until the rooster that lives outside started going. 🤣 it may be disruptive to those who haven’t stayed in Kauai before, but to us- it’s part of the island!
Communication with James and Diana was impeccable. They provide a thorough house guide with literally everything you need to know, from directions to parking to check in. The house guide continues with a wonderful Kauai overview and tips on where to go, what to see, and what to eat. We also appreciated their flexibility on arrival and checkout times- we were able to check out late, allowing us more time on the island!
A couple tips:
- Wylie Beach is a short 0.5 mi hike just past the Westin.
- Check out Anini Beach and Secret beach, ~10-15 min drive east!
- If you need something quick, the Foodland in Princeville is just up the road.
- Hanalei town is ~10 min away with shopping and food, as well as a beautiful pier.
