Location, location, location - it can't be beat here. You are across the street from the beach, and while the highway traffic is present, even more present is the crashing of waves and the beautiful sunrise that will greet you in the morning. We used this place as a one night base camp to explore the Waimea/Kokee parks and it was perfect for that. Waimea and Port Allen are close by and have enjoyable stores (Ishimara was a favorite), shaved ice, and Kauai brewing company for a post-hike beer and delicious fries. The bedroom does have AC which is a treat if you like it.
