We had a wonderful time at Marketa's and the island is unbeatable. The layout and space of their townhome was perfect with wide hallways and high ceilings as well as a perfect bedroom off of the Queen for our 8yo. The outdoor spaces were also incredibly pleasant. The pool was just a few steps away and while the body corporate rules are fairly strict (no marco polo, inflatables, or pool toys) our son had a grand time nonetheless and looked forward to hitting the pool every morning and afternoon. The rules do mean that the area is very quiet and peaceful. There are beach things like chairs, mats, umbrellas, and boogie boards which make going to the beach very effortless. There are also a few kitchen supplies and a nearby grocery which make for a quick set up. The master and the living room do face a T intersection which at times were a bit of a distraction with noise/headlights however this was not enough to change our perspective on the place...just something to be mindful of. All in all it was a great place to stay for a family get together and the north shore with all of its lush gardens, secluded beaches, and access to Hanalei was hard to beat.
