Our stay at Sarah's place was truly lovely! We gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the significant amount of road noise that infiltrates the condo (tip: fans and earplugs help)! the roosters carry on a fair amount, but we actually loved the roosters, as well as the many other songbirds that sang at all hours of the day and night! :) Sarah's home is very clean and well-appointed with kitchen appliances, as well as laundry facilities in the home which was a major plus! the sofa bed was super comfy for our kiddos, and the king sized bed was decently comfy (although not as comfy as our ah-mayzing bed at home...are they ever? LOL)! her home is conveniently located very close to grocery shopping (Foodland), ice cream (a must!), and has tons of beaches nearby to explore! we would have appreciated a few additional items already stocked in the pantry for ease of cooking-especially since we arrived too late to shop! Basics (such as coffee, sugar, creamer, olive oil, and a wider array of spices) would be nice additions to find in the pantry! but we made some ah-mayzing dinners with fresh fish we bought at the Hanalei Fish Market while we were there, and found everything we needed at Foodland. the neighbors in the complex (whom we had heard could be noisy) were thankfully silent during our stay! the little girls who live nearby were super friendly and very excited to see our boys each morning! neighbors, residents, and other guests at the pool area were quite friendly, and we loved finishing our busy days there! :) from Sarah's home, we were super close to highlights such as the Kalalau trail (for an EPIC hike); Queen's Bath (get to the parking lot at 7a if you want to drive there and find a spot); and we found ah-mayzing snorkeling at Anini Beach, Tunnels, and Hideawy. Sarah's snorkeling gear is of great quality and we REALLY appreciated having it there for our use! you can rent additional fins all over, as well as boogie boards-which we did because the boogie boards at Sarah's house were broken when we arrived. :( we took a day trip to Waimea Canyon and the Kalalau Lookout, and spent a truly beautiful week there! my husband and i, and our boys (10 and 11) had a really joyful vacation, and Sarah's place was a comfortable place to start and finish our days. it is small, so make sure you LOVE being uber-cozy with your travel companions! :) an added bonus was the guide book (The Ultimate Guide to Kauai)...what a GEM! thanks to that book we found some GREAT adventures we might have missed! like crazy-hard-to-find beaches, etc!!! we are grateful for the blessings of our trip and for the beauty of Kauai. thank you for hosting us-The Edwards Clan, Pollock Pines (Nik, D, Ben, & Sam) :)
