Note that the place is next to the highway, and you will hear continuous road noise. That's the only potential drawback. In summary Valerie's place is a great pick. All the positive reviews below are accurate. Accepting the road noise, I recommend Valerie's place - lots of positives, including location, furnishings, amenities, and Valerie's responsiveness (she was quick to respond, and accommodate, the few times I tried to contact her). My booking was for 5 days and I am very glad I stayed at Valerie's place because of all the positives. I will likely be visiting Kauai again, and would anticipate staying at Valerie's place again. As for Wailua/Kapaa, personally I find that to be the best area to locate yourselves for access to the entire island (located midway between north and south points). Enjoy your stay ! ;)
