What a great vacation
This house was great. We really liked how easy it was to just park right in front of the house and not have to walk a long way to the hotel room or condo like we had to do on our other vacations to Hawaii.
Next we loved the house. It is much bigger than we thought. It has everything. The new 52" Sony HD TV was a surprise because you never see that in a vacation rental.
The owner goes out of his way to get the best he can for his guest in the house.
The kids really loved baby beach. We spent more time there than any other beach for the kids. We have two boys 3 & 7 years old. The people at the baby beach we so nice and friendly. We got to know many of them had just had the best time with barbeques right on the beach.
Then on the other side of the new bridge was Kapaa bay and the new ocean front walk and bike path that went for over 10 miles. We walked it almost every day for about an hour. Last time we were on Kauai we stayed in Poipu on the south side.
We like the location much better of this house in Kapaa because it is more central to the Island and not as crowded as the south shore. The owner showed us some of the secret spots that were not crowded and beautiful.
Then the surfing lessons that the owner set us up with was so much fun for the whole family. I never thought that I could surf. But I did it and have the pictures to show all my girls friends back home. Of course my sons just want to surf all the time now, but they will just have to wait until we get back.
It was nice to eat right on the lanai with the ocean and stream view. There is a large park right out in front of the house that was fun for the family to play around on.
It is just a great house and a great value.
I really shopped around and could not find anything even close to the internet price that the owner was offering.
All in all, the house and the aloha was great.
