Kauai is a paradise and this unit is the perfect place to base your adventures. It's huge and right across from the ocean with easy walking distance to two sandy beaches. You can hear the waves all night (and eventually a LOT of talkative parakeets and the ever-present roosters) and see a silhouette of palm trees through the window covering as the sun rises. It's truly magical - but magic in a central location, which is extra magical. Going to the west side, or up to Lihue and the north shore are simple from here. There are also two great shopping/eating areas very near (you could walk and be happy about it), which was convenient. If I could do the entire trip over again, I would pick this place again and again.
