LOVED this place. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring the breathtaking hikes of Waimea Canyon. After a 10 mile hike, who wants to drive an hour+ back to Poipu or Princeville. This is an incredible home base to enjoy the beauty of the west side. The home is perfectly appointed and clean, and the beds are comfortable. Amy and Paul have thought of everything: extra propane for the grill, beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, coolers, etc. After checking out we headed to the St. Regis in Princeville and found ourselves longing for the unspoiled beaches of West Kaua'i and our outdoor shower at our Kekaha getaway. We stopped at the grocery after landing in Lihue and enjoyed the amazing ocean views by eating all our meals at the house. As Amy indicates in the listing and others have commented, there is a steady stream of road noise that might be bothersome to light sleepers. That being said, we found the starry nights and going to sleep listening to the waves to outweigh the downside of the traffic.
