This place was perfect. Very comfortable and perfectly appointed. The bed is huge and incredibly comfortable and with Marilyn's tips for keeping the place cool, the condo was at a very comfortable temperature whenever we were there. The location was great for quickly getting to the best stuff on the North Shore, and a welcome place to come 'home' to after adventuring on the South and West sides of the island. Lots of good restaurants, a nice shopping center, and some very cool beaches (with some fun challenging entry hikes) are all within walking distance. We never had an issue with parking during our stay (early September), and all of our neighbors were very friendly and quiet at night.
The shower was very nice, the TV and internet were easy to access and perfect for us, and the coffee maker, fridge, and toaster on the patio helped us start our days off perfectly. There were plenty of towels to last our 8-day stay, even though we sometimes had to shower multiple times in a day (a lot of Kauai's hikes can be very muddy!)
And finally, the snorkeling gear was so much more of a bonus than we realized. We hadn't planned on snorkeling much, but we found out that a lot of the beaches we were going to visit had good snorkeling spots anyway, so we gladly brought along the gear that Carl&Marilyn provided. VERY glad that we did, because we ended up seeing some amazing stuff, and the gear was all very comfortable and worked incredibly well. If you're up for the hike down, Hideaways Beach was such an incredible spot and had phenomenal snorkeling views when we were there.
We certainly plan on returning ASAP, and we'll be booking this spot well in advance. Thanks again!
