This studio apartment is a great home base for a trip to Kaua’i! It is very comfortable, with all of the cooking implements and supplies you could need to cook meals. Many toiletries are also provided which is a huge help for minimizing packing. The beach gear was also great to have (chairs, beach towels, coolers, snorkeling gear, bug repellant) for the several beach trips we made during our stay. The studio was very clean and overall very well-appointed for a vacation.
Royal was also very responsive to any questions I had before our trip, sharing information about how to navigate the island and where to find groceries and restaurants on the way from the airport to the apartment.
The condo is about a 1.6 mile walk to Hideaway Beach which I highly recommend visiting, although note that it is a short hike to the beach from the road with limited parking at the trail head. We walked from the studio. Queen’s Bath and Sea Lodge Beach are two other areas well worth visiting which are both slightly closer to the studio. All three of these areas are also good for snorkeling.
It is also a short drive to Hanalei with a gorgeous and very swimmer-friendly beach as well as several restaurants (I particularly recommend Bar Acuda!)
I would definitely stay here again!
