If you want to upgrade your trip, this place is the one you should stay at. They have everything you are going to need in this condo, such as many beach towels, body boards, beach chairs, literally anything you can think of. Laura is such a great host and knows what her guests would need. On the same property, they have a pool, hot tub, and a grill. It's in the community area, but there weren't that many people every night. We've been to different areas on Kauai, but I would say this location is by far the best. It's about 10 mins away from Hanalei which is a big plus because Hanalei Bay is a good surfing spot, especially if you are a beginner. Many restaurants and surf shops there. Also, this place is close to Kilauea lighthouse, Queen's Bath, Turtle cave etc.
