I was worried about staying in the "middle" when I booked, but am so glad I did. We had an easy drive to the north shore, the Wimea Canyon, and South Shore from our location. If we had stayed to the north or south the drives would have been longer and our days would have been spent traveling instead of enjoying the island. It would be nice if the description included that there are beach chairs, cooler, boogie board, umbrella, laundry detergent, etc (not having to pack the small stuff) makes life less stressful. It was nice also have coffee available for our first morning since we got in late on our arrival to the condo. When we return to Kauai we definitely will be staying in this complex again. We may need a bigger one or 2 since we will be bringing the whole family.
