Annie’s place is a fabulous way to stay in Kaua’i no matter what your reason for being in Kapa'a! I wasn’t expecting it to be as beautiful and well-maintained as a hotel – pleasant surprise :D And having a well-equipped, clean kitchen was super for making our own meals & packing snacks/lunches for exploring. There is a medium-sized cooler with ice packs & ice cubes, which was awesome for day trips. There are restaurants, shops, the best ice cream and shave ice (go to Hee Fat [Kapaa], or Kalalau Juice Hale [Anahola]!!) a natural food store, boutiques and thrifting; snorkel gear rental, and excursions for purchase, and hikes and waterfalls and gorgeous aqua-watered beaches within minutes, or even walking, of the condo. it was perfect for me as a central location for exploring places both north and south on the island to photograph. And Annie provided lots of great suggestions and tips on where to go for things to enjoy.
