We had an excellent stay here, we were 4 adults and 2 children (18 months & 6 months) and the condo location was perfect for us. The ground floor unit opens up onto a semi private patio with access to the lawn on the grounds. Our 18 month old enjoyed running up and down the grass and in the mornings there’s a perfect spot for watching the sunrise or whales in the afternoon. The salt-water pool is very well maintained and over looks the ocean and a semi-private beach. There’s a weber bbq that’s in good working order and frequently cleaned. The unit is very well appointed with everything you could need for kitchen supplies. The fans and windows were excellent for keeping a good temperature. The location of the complex made for easy exploring of the island being half way between the north and south coasts and close enough to Kapaa to walk most places. The town of Kapaa is walkable and has some excellent food options including Nom Kauai, Nana’s snack shack, Sam’s ocean view and Heefat real fruit shave ice. There’s also a foodland and a safeway in town on top of the Costco and walmart in Lihue which is about 20 minutes away. On saturday nights there’s the Kapaa art walk which is a good way to see the local vendors and eat some good festival food. Lydgate park is nearby which has the best kid’s playground i’ve ever seen and a nice protected beach. We also enjoyed hiking the kalalau trail (40 minutes drive) and the canyon trail at waimea canyon and also found Anini beach to be another great spot for kids. In Lihue(15 min) we also found the Kauai beer company which has a tasty food menu on wednesday/fri & sat nights and some quality craft beer, highly recommend. Overall this is a great find, we hope to stay here again sometime.
