A few words first about Lisa - she is a truly amazing host. She is very prompt in her responses and very communicative and accommodating. Our stay was made all the more comfortable thanks to her.
The location cannot be beaten. The condo looks out on the ocean - weather permitting, you are rewarded in the mornings by spectacular sunrises. During our stay, the water was rough and the surf up most days, so we did not get to enjoy the benefits of our beach access. As an added bonus, we got to see monk seals resting on the beach on more than one occasion.
The condo has been tastefully furnished and equipped with everything you need to cook your own meals, should you want to (we did). The high end appliances (Wolf and Sub-Zero) certainly help. There was a pitcher with a water filter as well.
There is a Safeway right across the street from Waipouli as well as an ABC Store for souvenirs. Kapa’a itself is a great location to get to the North Shore and for hiking. Trails for Sleeping Giant and Kuilau Ridge are a short drive away. For coffee lovers, we strongly recommend Java Kai in Kapa’a. The Kapa’a Juice center in the same area is great for cold press juices.
The list of pluses are endless - suffice it to say that this is a fantastic place to stay on an island with attractions galore.
