We had a great stay here, our first time visiting the island! This was our second stop on our travels and it was nice to be in a place that had everything we needed. We ate some of our meals in the apartment and took advantage of the ninja blender to make our own fresh fruit smoothies. Melissa was extremely knowledgeable about the area, places to go, and any safety concerns we should be aware of (muddy trails, closed roads, etc). We loved that there was access to snorkel gear, beach towels, a surf board, and other fun activities at no extra cost to our stay. Very generous! We took a day trip to the West end of the Island to see Waimea Canyon, but mostly stayed around the North Shore area (Hanalei and Kilauea -- and all the walks/beaches/spots in between). We had great coffee at Trilogy and enjoyed the food carts in Hanalei for lunch. Another random spot we found was in Lihue right after our plane landed we had amazing poke and fish tacos from Fish Express! Overall, we had a lovely stay! The apartment is perfect for a home base after a day of exploring the beautiful island!
