This was our family's second visit to the Fielding House and it was just as fantastic as the first! Our favorite aspect of this rental is the community. If you're interested in an authentic Kauai experience, in a calm, peaceful neighborhood, with friendly locals going about their day, this is the place for you! The neighbors are warm and welcoming. If you prefer to keep to yourself, they wont bother you, except to smile and wave. If you'd like to chat about the area, learn island history, get a variety of recommendations; they'll be glad to visit with you. A previous reviewer mentioned "activity" around the closest neighbor's house. This gentleman is somewhat of a neighborhood mechanic and the only activity we witnessed during our many hours outside on the porch were of this man helping a friend or two with their cars when they would drop by (In a separate area, not next to the Fielding House. This is not constant activity, he's away all day) He also brought us fruit from his trees both visits and remembered our toddler's name. The area is perfectly safe with plenty of kids and families. There is a playground at the nearby school and a local store nearby with fresh Poke and Plate lunches everyday. If you find yourself in need, an Aveda salon is just 2 blocks away (near the little store.) The house is immaculate and stocked with everything you need. Several upgrades have been made since last year so it's obviously well-cared for: Brand new fridge, new patio furniture, new washer and dryer. As far as hosts go, Kendall's responsiveness to questions/requests is unparalleled. She's available in a flash when you need her and just leaves you to enjoy your vacation when you don't. We had an issue with the internet and, over a holiday weekend, Kendall was in constant contact until the problem was resolved. We're looking forward to returning next year!
