We had the BEST experience at Hiroki’s in Kapa’a! The condo overlooks the ocean and the grounds are beautifully maintained. We enjoy hearing the waves crashing and all we had to do was crack the lanai door and there it was!
The apartment is not only well-appointed but it’s thoughtfully put together. Just little things like hooks in the right places outside the bathroom, a rack on the lanai for wet swimsuits, Tommy Bahama (or some similarly well-made) beach chairs, a really comfortable bed, a small sofa and lots of adapters for electronics including USB slots.
Kauai can be hot and humid so to me, good air conditioning is one of the most important aspects of a rental. High marks for coolness!
We don’t like to eat out all the time so it was nice to be able to use the toaster oven and microwave and be able to keep enough food in the refrigerator. There is also a small freezer that actually freezes things like ice packs.
There are black-out curtains for people who don’t like the light (like vampires).
On the premises about a two minute walk from Hiroki’s is IMUA Roasters Coffee Shop that we looked forward to going to every morning. They have a variety of croissants and they make a really mean coffee mocha!
We had always stayed at Poipu or in Lihue on Kalapaki Beach and had never stayed in Kapa’a before. It was a great location and we were very pleased with our accommodations.
Hiroki could not have been a better host. We have a lot of friends who visit Kauai and we’re looking forward to steering them to Hiroki’s place because we know they’ll be well taken care of.
