Mary's condo felt like paradise on our time in Kauai. We didn't spend a great deal of time in the unit - there's so much to see on the island - but it was the loveliest place to return to after exploring and relaxing on the beach. We even saw whales spouting from the lanai!
Kapaa is the perfect middle ground for seeing Kauai - it's a cute town on its own, but close to both Princeville and Poipu areas. We had originally wanted to stay in Princeville and I am glad we didn't.
Hoping we will return to Mary's place any time we're back in Kauai. I miss it already.
