Upon our arrival, we were greeted with the pleasant aroma of flowers which grow on the property. Arriving in the evening, the house was prepared for our arrival with porch lights, fans and open windows providing a gentle breeze as well as a personal welcome note.
The home is spacious & uncluttered, and its location provides a quiet atmosphere with opportunity to listen to the breeze in the trees or the birds in the valley behind the house. Speaking of, since we arrived after dark, our first morning we looked out the back windows and OMG! We were stunned by the most beautiful valley, full of trees and all varieties of birds which we wish we were able to identify. Quite a bit of our time was spent sitting on one of the lanais, looking at the ocean or the valley and absorbing it all.
One unique benefit was the fresh fruits and vegetables growing which were made available to us including oranges, papaya, lilikoi, limes, bananas, spinach, all of which were delicious. There were more than plenty of pans, dishes, plates, bowls, silverware, and chopsticks for cooking meals.
The house has soft and comfortable beds, plush towels, beach gear (towels/chairs/snorkels/etc), did we mention the view? as well as plenty of helpful books about the trees, plants, fish, and land of Kauai.
Sea Lodge beach is nearby and secluded. We went twice, saw only 3 people - and two turtles sunning themselves!
We can't wait to plan our next trip back to Kauai, especially if we can stay here again.
