Wow! This was our first time to Kauai and our stay at Marie's place could not have been any more perfect. The place feels very private and is so comfortable. The decor is beautiful, the place is filled with light and has a very serene feel - exactly what you want when you are in Kauai. It's much bigger than I expected and the private lanai is such a great spot to hang out after a day at the beach or while drinking your morning coffee. It's evident that Marie and Randy want your time on Kauai to be memorable and the personal touches that they've added really shine through. For example, you'll find several great books on Hawaii and I highly recommend reading the blue Kauai guidebook as it was very informative and an enjoyable read. The place is stocked with plenty of bath and beach towels, snorkeling gear (we had so much fun snorkeling at Poipu Beach!), beach chairs and more. It's just a short walk along a green belt to the beach. We also enjoyed walking along the Maha'ulepu Trail in the mornings, which connects to the green belt. This was our first Airbnb stay and we could not have been more pleased!
