Great home in our favorite neighborhood on the north shore. Perfect for a group of friends or for a family. In a quiet and tranquil neighborhood.

This house is absolutely wonderful! An amazing location with a short walking path right across the street that leads directly onto the beach. Beautiful and secluded area. The house has literally everything you need, from kitchen items to games to beach chairs and toys. It's more spacious than the photos, and we had plenty of room for our family trip. If you're thinking of staying here, I strongly suggest doing it!

6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
Overall the property is very nice and located just 50 steps from the beach. There were plenty of birds and butterflies to add to the ambience. But with the various locations of road construction it is slow/difficult to access any other part of Kauai. The lack of internet/cell service at the property made check in very difficult and isolated us when the power went off for 5 hours (which we are told is weekly). We had a smoke detector go off in the middle of the night and had to go to extremes to get it down and shut off. Despite the second story location we had our share of roaches. Overall it is okay but we will not return.
