If you are looking to say in the “countryside” of Kauai, then this is the place! We would tell locals where we were and they would say, “Wow! That is out there!” Beautiful mornings on the porch listening to tropical birds and looking at the beautiful fruit trees, flora, fauna, and the mountains. The beach is a very short drive away and far less crowded than other beaches. This house is on the far North side of the island so expect to drive about an hour drive to Ka’paa; however if you are wanting to avoid crowds like we were, this was perfect as Hanalei is close by.
The place itself has amazing views and is very large for the 2 people. The bed was super comfortable and we slept great. Even though the listing seemed to indicate that we needed to bring the basics, all the basics were there for us including coffee filter, hair dryer, soap, and shampoo.
Beware, if you are arriving after dark, the driveway is very difficult to find even with the great directions that were provided by the property management company.
A beach stay is great but staying in the middle of the rain forest in Kauai was an experience will not get anywhere else! Well worth it!!!
