When planning our Kauai vacation, I never thought of staying on the west shore. All the travel guides push you to the north or south as the destination location for the island. But this house with its stunning and surprise-and-delight amenities and closer proximity to every adventure has sold me. We had the beach to ourselves and the local, relaxed culture made this paradise. We loved the spacious, open floor plan and private bedrooms. The showers in the bathrooms (especially the master bath) are wonderful. The outdoor shower is even heated! Scott was very responsive during the entire process and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was stocked with everything! And when we needed a boogie board - a boogie board arrived! The owner truly thought of everything including a helpful guide of the best local eats, hiking, and spots to visit. With sunny skies the entire time (and typical rain on the north and south shores), we didn't want to leave! I will admit that I even cried when we left. We truly had a fabulous time and left with some of the best memories. This place is truly a hidden gem.
