Kauai reviews.

Palaka - Palaka house is a lovely old plantation style cottage with a wonderful lanai to view the peaceful Hanalei Bay. Every morning we would have our breakfast on the lanai and most evenings watch the sunset from there. The company that manages the property was very helpful and friendly when we had a few issues come up. One of the problems is that mosquitos were entering the house and biting us! This is a reality in the tropical area of Hanalei, so we got some candles and mosquito traps and that seemed to take care of the problem Even though the beach is across the street, there is not public access there. You will need to walk or drive down to the public area. The water is very calm and great for children, but you will not be able to snorkle here. There is a popular surfing area near the pier, also there is a lifeguard at the public beach. Palaka house has an outside shower that has hot water, which we really loved! We also loved that the house is very private, with a yard surrounding it, so you have that feeling of home. Only drawbacks were the mosquitos and the roosters that start crowing very early! Thankfully I brought earplugs, but after the first few nights I didn't even need them, because I got used to the roosters and they didn't wake me up. I would stay here again because it gave me the feeling of old Hawaii and I was able to relax in this peaceful and tranquil home.

Sanders House - This house was perfect for the 4 of us ladies that travelled, we really enjoyed the avacado and banana trees in the backyard. This was the first time I ever booked online only, and it turned out perfect. The view from the windows was awesome!!! I would definently recommend this house and rental service to all my friends. The Queens bath hike and swimming was to die for, and the best insider tip I would give anyone would be to get that guide book "The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook", it was right on. The best shaved ice was in Hanalei, at the Wishing Well, and Topical Taco was also unreal. We will for sure be back!!! Thank you for everything!! PS The geckos were so cute, we didn't mind them at all.

Bali Hai Crow's Nest - What I liked best about the unit I rented was all the space that was available. The home is beautiful and very spacious. The best part of my trip was knowing that I would be sleeping in my own room. We traveled as one large family and it was nice to have our own space at night, or whenever we were home, to relax and read a book or just hear the breeze. The best picture I took was of us at the Hyatt Resort Luau. The food was delicious and filling and I had the best coconut cream pie ever! My advice to someone else staying at this unit would be to not worry about packing beach towels or boogie boards, they are already available with the rental and you will save a lot of space by not packing those bulky beach towels. The best "insider tip" I received while on my trip was to rent our snorkel gear. The rental is easy and you can rent the gear daily or weekly depending on your needs. We went to Boss Frogs and they were very curtious and resonable, about $9 for flippers and snorkel mask. If you can, visit Kauai during the Coconut festival in Kapaa. We were there during the festival and it was a great place to shop, eat, and learn more about the rich culture that is in Hawaii.

Pua Nani - The house was wonderful and the path to the beach across the road was easy and accesible. I just think the CD players need replacing or cleaned. We did take the scrabble board and played and then realized there we two mixed together, so now the is a actual scrabble game in full....

The home is really nice and we truly enjoyed ourselves.

The Lily Pad - Wow-Wow-Wow......Just the most Beautiful place We stayed at in Hawaii......and as Maui residents We go and discover new places a lot all over Hawaii and It was by far our favorite little "love nest"......The place is georgous (in and out), very well kept and taking care with lots of love and attention...everything you may want is there.....The owners are so good, they thought of everything for you to make your stay sososo enjoyable that you may not want to leave. Very relaxing place, jsut georgous. Very Hawaii... A must to see fos sure...MAHALO

Johnson House - The location is great if you really want to explore the North Shore. It's walking distance to the center of Hanalei. Big, spacious house and comfy beds. I can't wait to come back and have more pizza at the Kilauea Bakery! Our favorite beach was Ke'e - great for adults and kids - like swimming in an aquarium.

Keoniana Kai - The view from any part of this home is fantastic! This was our second annual trip as a family to Hawaii. This was such a wonderful experience we hope to be back. The rental company accommodated us for an early arrival. One sightseeing trip I would highly recommend for anyone is the Napali Coast on Kauai Sea Adventures. What a way to see the part of the island you cannot drive to.

Mohalu Princeville - I was very happy with the rental, it was even more adorable than I imagined. The location was perfect for everything I wanted to be involved in and I enjoyed being secluded in this rental rather than being in a large hotel.
I will think of this rental again for my next trip to the island.

Bamboo Hale - 1. The remote location, the cleanliness, the sounds of the river. 2. Excellent! 3. Discovering the Bamboo Hale. It exceeded my expectations in every way. 4. Postcards Cafe 5. At the Botanical Gardens, right before sunset. 6. I have discovered the most relaxing, beautiful house on Kauai. 7. Stock up on groceries at the market in Princeville. Get the discount card to save money on your groceries. 8. Snorkeling at Anini Beach. Great for kids and easy snorkeling for the beginner. 9. Stay on the North Shore. 10. ATV rides 11. This is the BEST vacation I have ever had. Thank you!!

Taylor House - I will recommend to my friends going to Kauai to stay at Taylor House. The offers a very relaxing and close to nature environment. I love watching the birds by the balcony and enjoy the air breeze in the house. The house is also close to a secluded private beach and a park overlooking the ocean, a perfect spot to watch the sunrise. Awesome!!!
