Where to begin! Carla and Michael’s place was amazing. Our decision to stay at Carla and Michael’s condo instead of a resort was the best decision we made. At first I was scared about not getting the full Kauai experience if I did not stay at a condo or hotel on the beach. I was very wrong!!! The condo was more than I could of imagined and made for a perfect vacation. Everything was beautiful and clean. The bed was amazing and had good quality linen and plenty of towels. The washing machine and dryer was a plus. Detergent was even provided. Everything we needed was a short distance away. There are plenty of beaches nearby that are a short drive or bike ride. We rode bikes to Queen’s bath which was about a 5-7 minute bike ride. We drove to Hideaway beach which was about a 2-5 minute drive. Hideaway Beach was our favorite! The condo is a very short drive to Hanalei Bay. There was plenty of parking at Hanalei Bay so we packed up the cooler, beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, and towels that were all provided. The neighborhood has a lot of pretty tropical plants and trees. There is even a nice walking/bike trail in the neighborhood. We were able to cook breakfast each morning and sit out on the beautiful patio. This condo is seriously the best. We had an amazing time and will be making another trip next year and hoping to stay at Carla and Michael’s condo again.
