I don’t think we could have asked for a better place to stay for our first visit to Kauai. Derek’s place is located within walking distance of 2 amazing beaches (Hideaway and Puu Poa) and just a short drive into Hanalei and everything it has to offer. The unit is on the ground floor of a 2-story condo so you may hear folks heading out in the morning but usually the place is very quiet and it’s hard to beat the access to stunning natural beauty and unique local culture. Derek was friendly and responsive to our every need. Highly recommended!
