Mariana's place is a perfect launching point for the north shore of Kauai. It was easy to communicate with Mariana and accessing the space is easy. We were met by Mariana's husband, Carlos, who was very welcoming. He gave us some great suggestions about what to do in the area. Mariana has some beach chairs, cooler and body boards to be able to lend out. They came in very useful on our trip. I definitely recommend This spot if you are planning on staying on the north shore!
