Being centrally located on the sunny south shore is perfect for exploring the entire island. Why stay in a hotel room at a resort when you can have so much more for less money? We saved money by cooking breakfast and packing lunches in a cooler for the road. We could then splurge at night and walk to the local restaraunts, shops and ice cream!! Great spot for ocean sunsets within walking distance too. There is AC but you won't need it from all the windows with breezes. The king size bed was very comfortable. It was so nice to arrive with clothes and that is it. They have boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel, beach towels, shampoo, etc. We came with a carry-on each for two weeks and did wash one night- perfect! The grounds on the home are beautiful and we enjoyed walking the neighborhood admiring the homes and cool flowers we don't see at home. A car rental is a must for this island. Susan gave us a late check out due to our late flight which allowed us to get most out of our last day!! If I really had to find something to "pick" about and this was really no big deal but I'd ask for a couple of open shelves on the wall to hold groceries ( i.e. Cereal boxes, bread, chips, etc) as the kitchen cabinets the are filled (with everything you need to make anything you want which is great). Big shout out to Susan and Bernie for being great hosts and we enjoyed the chocolates!! This was our 9th visit to Kauai and I would rent from them again. Aloha, Devon & Sam
