Kauai is rapidly becoming the island of choice by return visitors: "Kauai is the real Hawaii." Sept 2015 Review "This property is well kept and has all the essentials, including internet and air conditioning which will make you the envy of many people locally who depend on the trade winds to stop you from sweltering on the island. It's a stone's throw away from Kapaa's restaurants and bars and the sea front if you fancy watching the sunrise, or a stroll along the beach. Kapaa itself is excellently situated for amenities on the island and is well situated for seeing everything on the island as it is relatively central. It is also very close to some of the island's best beaches on the Coconut Coast. The owners are extremely friendly, offer prompt customer service, or quick help if you need it (i.e locking your self out in the middle of the night). On several occasions I was delighted to find gifts of fruit that they had sourced from their garden. An excellent property and the best value I could find."
