This is a great base from which to explore the North shore of Kauai. It's close to Hanalei, which has tons of great food options, hikes, and other excursions. There are great beaches all over as well. The condo itself is clean and comfortable, and usually quiet (there are other adjacent condos so you may hear other guests and residents, but certainly not disruptive at all). One unexpected highlight for us was the opportunity to meet a neighbor's cats, who were both incredibly sweet.
