First things first: Hanalei is an incredible little town on Kauai. The town is easy to reach by car, it's incredibly picturesque with the mountains, lush greens, and coast line. Despite being a small town, there were lots of people out dining on a random week night (which made it feel extra fun!)
Devaki's place is just a minute walk away from an incredible beach, and just a five minute walk away from an incredible breakfast place, coffee shops, restaurants, shops, and ice cream places. Lastly, the view of the mountains and forest from her place made an incredible view to wake up to, especially with the sounds of the roosters crowing in the background!
