There's a sense of apprehension every time you travel, a new place, a new bed, and new people. I can state without reservation that this corner of Poipu, this condo, and Leslie are a second home to me. While I am here on business for the most part, it has become a welcome cliché, a literal home away from home for me.

The place is perfectly located, unless you're averse to backyard sunsets and surfing. Don't get me started on the snorkeling in the bay, again, it's just across the street. A great space for my needs, and very well kept and welcoming every time I stay here, and I'm been here a few times.

But the best part of this place, is the person who owns it, Leslie. She's the perfect host, without being intrusive it's like she lives here, it feels like you're in her home, not a rental, not a piece of property for visitors, but Leslie's place. She's welcoming, attentive to any issues, and always available if I need anything, including a friend's opinion on the finer things only a local would know that make Kauai special.

I know I'm going to pay for this glowing review by having others book this place when I need it... but I have to be honest, if I had a few days to spend in Poipu, there isn't another option I would consider before this one. Good job Leslie.
