We loved being on Kauai and the location of the condo was good. There is a steep and muddy path down to a sweet little beach and it's very close to Hanalei, which has good food, shopping, and a really nice beach. But be prepared to bring supplies if you plan to cook. There was no oil, salt and pepper, or any staples of any kind in the condo. And don't try to use the oven because there weren't any baking pans of any sort.
