This was our first Airbnb experience and I can't imagine how it could have been any better. The description is just enough to leave room for being impressed when you arrive. I'm sure the hosts are very hospitable as we had all the correspondence we needed before the stay but even better, as we are kind of private folks, we almost never even saw them during our 10-night stay. We arrived late, delayed by flight, found the house easily, knocked and Ian showed us up to the place, how to turn on lights and stuff, a couple local eats recommendations and the rest was up to us. Easy button all the way.
Beautiful room and deck with a view, our only consideration for next time is possibly finding a place with a full kitchen, although there was a hot plate, we didn't put it to use. The fridge, coffee maker, and microwave came in handy. We also loved the little apple bananas! We went through their gift basket in the first few days and another little bunch of bananas showed up later in the week! The property is amazing, location - perfect, and the neighborhood - look it's golf course, it's pristine! and yes, it is literally across the street from the Queen's Bath trailhead (believe what they say about caution there).
Really a great value, anything hotel-wise would be at least double the price and not nearly as private and unique.
As a side note - I commend Airbnb's customer service helping us end up here. We initially had a house booked down near Moloaa's beach that fell through and Coral's place was recommended (I think discounted) and set up for us seamlessly. In retrospect, as new visitors to Kauai, I think this would've been the better choice for a first place to stay for us anyway.
Absolutely recommend staying here. Mega Mahalo!
