If this is your first visit to Kauai then you might want to start out in a more tourist-oriented area like Poipu, where everything you need is right there – restaurants, shops, lots of other tourists.
But if you’ve been to Kauai and already know your way around, and want to get out of the “Tourist Zone”, then this is a perfect choice. A beautiful view of the beach from several rooms of the house, as well as the deck. Convenient access to many nearly deserted beaches. Mingle with the real locals, who are very friendly and welcoming if you behave respectfully. Clean, comfortable quarters and well equipped.
While we were there we drove to Poipu once, and it was pouring rain. But when we returned to the west side it was sunny and dry. If you like Kauai, then this is the perfect home base for your vacation.
