We really loved the beach cabin feel of Fielding House in Kekaha! It was great to stay in a quiet village as opposed to a busy resort. Morning coffee on the veranda was enjoyed while watching the comings and goings of the community. It felt roomy enough for our party of four (two grandmothers, myself and my 6 year old). Kekaha is the last town on the west side so having a car is good to get around to other parts of Kauai. There were always large waves at Kekaha beach so it wasn't good swimming for my son, but I enjoyed it. We found nice beaches at Salt Pond and Poipu. Nearby Waimea is a nice little town with a local market some days (we caught it Wednesday and Thursday).
