Absolute jewel on the north coast of Kauai! The stay was outstanding....the views from the lanai at the front of the house (as well as dining table and living room) are truly from a post card and the location can't be beat. The grounds are immaculately maintained and lend to the tranquility of the home. There are two other homes located on the 1-1/2 acres, but were not rented during our stay (we understand that they are typically only used by the owner). The house was ideal for our group of adults and children. The house came with all the beach toys needed (snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, ice chest, etc) and the kitchen was very well equipped...even with items not typically in a rental (hand mixer, crock pot, cast iron pan). The bathrooms are large and with great water pressure. Did we mention the view....I believe most of our photos would rival if not exceed those on the website!
Our group spent a lot of time on the beach immediately in front of the house; the photos with the listing were taken directly in front of the property. We did not venture much past waist deep in the water at this location, but still a great spot and we generally had the entire beach to ourselves (maybe 1 or 2 people walking the beach per hour). Also, the best snorkeling on island is a short walk to Tunnels Beach (about a 5-10 minute walk down the beach).
Only recommendation is to make sure that check in details with Host Lisa are worked out prior to arrival. Cell phone coverage is spotty in this area along the road; we had not communicated about the gate code prior to arrival and had difficulty logging into ARBNB to get contact information for Lisa. Once contacted, Lisa responded very quickly.
