Nico Hale was just the slice of paradise my husband and I were looking for on our anniversary trip to Kauai ... mainly, a place to relax and rejuvenate. It was our first time staying on the North Shore and we loved it! The house was very well appointed, including a well stocked kitchen with all the tools, plenty of beach towels, outdoor shower, comfy bed, books (love!) and a lanai from which to smell the jungle outside. The spectacular views from the master bedroom, as well as lanai and main room/kitchen were where we spent lots of time admiring, along with sounds of crickets at night (and the occasional pig and rooster) and song birds in the morning. Jessica and Luckey were also very responsive and helpful with any questions we had (thank you!).
Only thing to note that we weren't quite expecting based on the description is that there are neighbors very close by (downstairs, to the immediate back and to the side). They were all very friendly, we just thought it would be a bit more secluded/private.
Thanks again Jessica and Luckey and we hope to return one day!
