James and Julie’s upstairs apt is spacious, nicely furnished, and has a great lanai for outdoor eating and chilling. Check-in was simple and the location is convenient to shops, the bike path, and the ocean/beach. James and Julie were friendly, responsive and helpful. The afternoons were uncomfortably warm in the living/dining areas. For those of you who have not been to Kauai, you will soon learn about its healthy chicken/rooster presence. You gradually get used to the the early morning feathered alarm clocks, but it takes some getting used to. Kapaa’s local vibe and the island’s beauty more than offsets the pre-dawn wake-up calls
