This is an incredible place to stay! The pictures don't do justice to how comfortable and spacious the cottage is. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to make meals, even with sharp knives, which is a rarity in most rentals. And the lanai is a great place to relax, enjoy meals, and socialize with a great view.Our hosts were very accommodating and prepared the place for our stay with our comfort in mind. The location is also perfect, upcountry a bit within walking distance of old town Koloa, and just a short drive from the beaches of Poipu. There are many places to explore.I highly recommend this place!As others have said, and no different than anywhere else in Kauai, get ready for chickens ... they rule the island, but are part of the charm. We saw turtles, many beaches, lots of fish when snorkeling, monk seals lazing on the beach, Waimea canyon in all its splendor, and green .... green ... green! The botanical gardens are a must see experience.
