Mahalo for staying with us Dominic! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again!
The house was wonderful, clean, spacious and had all the amenities that were listed. Highly recommended! Check in was very easy and they texted after a few days to see if everything was going well. The house is in a quite neighborhood and there is plenty of vegetation that provides nice privacy. The lanai and the large sliding glass doors were fantastic and we all spent time reading outside in addition to having several dinners outside. The grill and the kitchen were well equipped, the only thing that was missing was a can opener which we mentioned to the property manager. The grocery store was walking distance along with ice cream, shave ice and coffee. Bikes, beach towels, chairs, coolers and umbrellas were all available, plus some sand tools for younger kids. Outside hoses were helpful to clean off muddy hiking boots and we used the laundry more then I thought I would. The twin beds upstairs had thinner mattresses which made be fine for smaller kids, but my adult daughter stacked them to make them work for her. The ceiling fans/AC units were very nice at night.

Mahalo,

This house was the perfect home base for my family of five. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet (except the rosters, which the kids loved), and central to a lot of fun beaches and great Kauai excursions. I can’t wait to come back!

Mahalo for your 5-star review on Surf Hale! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay on all levels. We would love to host you again in the near future. Warmest Aloha.
This home is incredible in an absolutely beautiful and quiet neighborhood. The location was perfect for us in that is was a short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches and close to restaurants and grocery stores. After long beach, boat, kayaking days, this was the perfect location for our family to return to bbq and relax.
The communication with the property manager was exceptional as well.
We will definitely rebook when we return to the island.
