We loved Ben's place during the weekdays when it was quiet and you could appreciate the beauty of the ocean, sunrises and sets, turtles and the unending determination of surfers trying to catch the perfect wave. The weekend was not great...noisy partying from early in the morning till late into the night, but we were still able to go to a variety of spots that only Kauai can offer. The location is perfect for day trips to hikes through valleys, ridges and canyons and to some of the most perfect beaches in the world! Great place, if you are lucky enough to have respectful neighbors.
