We just got home from our stay at Gail's place, and all I can say is ... amazing! her home fit all 9 of us perfectly. the walk to the beach was gorgeous and literally only took a couple minutes. also Gail's home is located 3-5 min walk from THEE best snorkeling beach there is, it's great for kids and the entire family. not to mention the location is only 5-7 min drive from grocery store and some of the best restaurants on the island (also our friend kalae runs the beach house restuarant down the road... HIGHLY recommend) this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts. we have been to kauai many times and this tops em all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
