This Airbnb is supreme! It’s located 10 min away from Hanalei which is the nicest little town with all the things you’d need. I started off each day with breakfast at Hanalei Coffee and Bread Company since it was just a quick scenic drive away. The north side of the island is so lush with so many easy access roadside beaches located so close to this Airbnb-Tunnels, Anini, Hanalei Bay, are all not far! The beach chairs, umbrella and scuba gear will be put to use! It’s also not far from the coolest public garden-The National Tropical Botanical Garden Limahuli Garden and Preserve which should be on everyone’s agenda given it’s whale watching, cultural, historic attributes as well as plants and conservation success stories!
As far as the Airbnb itself, the pictures don’t do it justice! It’s the cleanest spot on the island with many considerate notes and tips about how to work things. The bed is very comfortable as is the couch, and the towels are Turkish cotton. Beach towels were also provided and I was grateful since I didn’t have space to pack my own. Regulating the windows and fans was easy and I never felt uncomfortable due to temperatures. I experienced no bugs in the unit at all. I didn’t use the kitchen much but it has everything needed to prepare a meal. No iron is needed as the misty mornings provide the perfect conditions to release wrinkles from packed clothing by simply hanging outside. The chickens weren’t too noisy at all, so no need to worry about that, plus Brent provided hearing protection just in case. The dryer is very handy given the pop up showers on Kauai, definitely bring a rain jacket/poncho! Plan on booking activities ahead of time and if you do NaPali coast, get a boat company from Hanalei so you don’t have to drive all the way to the west side, endure hours on a boat, and drive another 2 hours back. The traffic can build up between Lihue and Princeville but it generally was only 45min to an hour to the airport.
I plan on staying here again as it was an excellent value in a great location with everything anyone would need to enjoy the tropical paradise of the Garden Isle!
