This is a great base for checking out the North Shore of Kauai! It is close to Hanalei (where we dined most evenings), has an amazing view and you have access to a super secluded beach. The trail to the beach was a bit muddy, but worth it! I will say I was a bit nervous about no AC, but it was very comfortable with the windows open...especially since all you hear is the sound of the ocean! I would definitely stay here again!
