A hui hou kakou kauai!

Positively the most beautiful condo that we've stayed at on the island of Kauai. It was first class all the way. Also, it was the best location, very unique, on a bluff on the North shore. We were able to enjoy the sunrise from the lanai and the great sunsets over the ocean and mountains a step outside on the lawn.
Every morning waking up to that beautiful view put a smile on our face. And we see why you named it 'Honu Cove' Be sure to bring a telephoto lens or small binoculars to see the abundant green sea turtles eating off the rocks at the bottom of the cove. They were easy to spot with the naked eye but we enjoyed getting a closer look with the binocs. every day from the lanai.
We were pretty active but it felt so laid back on the island. We snorkeled, hiked the Napali Coast, took the 'Inter-island Helicopter' (highly recommended..no doors) tour, and beachcombed. If you do the helicopter, take a side trip to Hanapepe and stop at the 'Hanapepe Cafe and Bakery' and say hi to Granny and try her granola too. Their baked goods are out of this world!
The beaches on the North shore are gorgeous and so picturesque, backdropped with lush mountains. We came home with over 1300 pics.! Everywhere you look, it is so beautiful on the North shore, you can't help feeling grateful for just being alive.
We loved the 'Blue Dolphin Restaurant and Fish Market' and 'farmers market' in Hanalei. The word 'fresh' does not come close in describing either of these 2 places. Get to the farmers market early to get the organic produce, it goes fast.
The people who live on Kauai were very friendly and helpful. They enjoyed meeting us as much as we enjoyed meeting and talking to them. The ONLY thing that we did not like was that we had just 10 days on Kauai.
Looking forward to a return visit, to Kauai AND this condo! Mahalo John and Brenda for sharing your beautiful condo.
