Great spot for large families with sunset views and sea turtles every evening.

Nice accommodations for a large family or group of friends. Sit and watch the sunset and sea turtles every night right at the end of the driveway. Good home base to explore all of Kauai.

Amazing location!

Our group of friends had a great Thanksgiving weekend stay! The house was comfortable, in a perfect location right across from the ocean and walking distance to a wonderful beach. The beds were comfortable, there was enough parking and we appreciated the beach supplies and pack n'play that was available. Can't wait to get back to Kauai!
