Hosts don’t come better than Larry! First off, I got locked in the pool area and did not have security’s number with me! I texted Larry and he responded immediately, called security, and saved me from having to sleep on a pool chair! It was humorous for me, but take comfort in knowing Larry is there for you when you need him! Second, my husband and teenager were excited to crack open a fresh coconut but were ill equipped to do so and wrecked one of Larry’s kitchen knives… Larry was cool about it and worked with us to replace the knife! They enjoyed the fresh coconut water 🙃
We had stayed at a hotel for the first part of our trip on Oahu, I can’t tell you how great it was to have the space and two bathrooms at Larry’s place! It makes relaxing after a day full of adventure and family togetherness much better!
The very tiiiiny negatives I have about the location is this industrial cargo facility and big ugly storage building on the port side. Seriously not a big deal, just distracts a little from an otherwise perfect view of the little mountain there! And it can be a bit noisy from the traffic at times. The views from the pool area are awesome (go up to the smoker’s bench for coffee and a great view of the sunrise, even if you don’t smoke… no one else was up that early!) and it seems like the pool is underutilized! (Which must be why security didn’t check before locking me in 😂)! If you need a break from the sand, the pool is seriously lovely! As are the grill sites! We grilled locally sourced NY strips for Thanksgiving!
All the other positive reviews are true! Its a great family spot, perfect location for accessing both sides of the island, and walking distance to many food options! Go to the stand-alone gift shop right across the bridge before Dukes, it’s locally owned and she has better prices than the other two gift shops (both operated by ABC) in the mall!
Pick Larry’s place for an incredible stay on Kauai!
