we loved staying at Josie's condo! central location to the whole island - furthest points of waimea canyon and ke'e beach are both ~1 hr away so it was perfect for exploring all around. coconut marketplace is right across the way and has all the things you need for your stay, including some nice local/artisan shops alongside the bigger souvenir stores. the property is great and the kauai path along the back is perfect for a walk or bike ride along the shore. the aston islander property's security was also greatly appreciated - we had a safety concern and the security guard answered immediately in the night, arrived quickly, was nice, and came back more than once to check in on us. the path and beach are public property and the guard went above and beyond his job responsibility/purview to make sure we felt okay. would definitely recommend staying here to others!
