My 14-year-old and I had an excellent 2-week stay at this lovely townhouse. It's a pleasant and very comfortable condo (the photos are accurate, as are the beach pics. And yes, Kauai beaches really are that stunning). And equally important to us, Peter was an exceptional host. He was totally straightforward and welcoming, jumped through hoops to make us comfortable (even ordering extra surf gear for us from afar), and stayed in touch with clear communication from start to finish. The on-site manager met us when we arrived and was welcoming and available throughout our stay. This kind of host makes the difference between a suitable place to park yourself and a great stay where everything goes smoothly with Aloha, where we could really relax. The place itself is delightful and spotless with island motifs throughout. It is very roomy for two (was a perfect size for us), is pleasantly breezy, and has great creature comforts like nice beds, towels, flat screen, really nice kitchen, new coffee maker - you name it. The location was perfect for easy North Shore access, our favorite area on Kauai. We love SUP on Hanalei Bay, espresso in Kilauea, and beaches near Hanalei and farther north. The local grocery store and other amenities are minutes away. We went running on the beautiful nearby golf course trail before the heat set in, and walked down the cliff trail (starts just across the street) to gorgeous, calm Anini beach at sunset. The condo development has quiet hours for reliable quiet at night. Living areas overlook a lush inner lawn, garden, and other units - these areas are serene during the day as well as night, with the occasional chatty rooster as is typical all over the island. We liked hanging out at the kitchen island or on the couches with windows and sliding doors open to the outdoors. The master bedroom plus rain shower bath is spacious, and great for lounging, with a lanai overlooking the neighboring resort hotel's parking (not so lovely) and hotel entry (nice with a large fountain, plants), and we found this was not a big deal. The fountain masks any noise, there was not much activity there, and we usually kept the curtains drawn and instead opened sliding panels onto the double-height space of the living area with its garden views. The lower bedroom feels private, and is quiet. We were really happy to stay here in comfort and style, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves, with such a warm and accommodating host in one of the most beautiful areas on the island, within our budget. This place is a find.
