James and Julie were fantastic hosts! The cottage was clean and welcoming, and the location was just wonderful. Just a short walk to the beach across the street and to the shops and restaurants in downtown Kapa'a. Julie is a great cook and loves to share her food with people! We were gifted homemade mochi and invited over for homemade pho and oh my gosh I would go back just for that! I'd recommend James and Julie's place to anyone visiting Kauai - the central location makes it very easy to get to great snorkeling on the North Shore and some amazing hiking in Waimea Canyon. We will definitely be coming back!
