Perfect first impression- from the entry I could see through the kitchen window to birds singing on the lanai and the ocean view. Open via keypad and the rooms/furnishings are just as relaxing as the view. The condo is spotlessly clean and very well stocked with the comforts of home- everything from dishes, spices, ziplocks, hair dryer, shampoo/body wash to books, games, beach towels/chairs. It is a quiet resort with easy parking, pool, tennis court, laundry, and only steps past the pool to Lydgate beach. A short walk down the beach gets you to the safe/family friendly Lydgate pools to swim & snorkel with tropical fish - right there. The Lihue location is perfectly centralized on the island to explore everything. I couldn't say more about how comfortable and happy we were with our stay!
