We have one of the prime units in Plantation Hale, a quaint, two-story, laid-back condo complex with a superb location right across the street from the beach. Ours is one of the only units that was completely gutted and remodeled. We also have an ocean view.
Our closest neighbors are : * The Plantation Marketplace, a charming outdoor complex of shops and restaurants. It's a stone's throw away. * The Beachboy Hotel, with it's highly rated Hukilau Lanai restaurant and spa * Islander on the Beach * The Kilauea Fishmarket, the go-to place for delicious fresh fish sandwiches, wraps and entrees * The Sheraton Kauai Resort
And one of the very best things about our place is it's proximity to Ke Ala Hele Makalae, an eleven mile gorgeous path along the ocean for bikers, walkers and joggers.

The place was just as described. Very clean, nice kitchen, very of the ocean in the near distance. Everything was provided; kitchen supplies, towels, bedding, local guidebooks, even a small cooler which we used every day on our adventures. Perfectly located next to a marketplace and close enough to Lihue, but far enough to feel like we were in a tropical paradise. Highly recommended.
Owners were very responsive and willing to help in many ways. Enjoying the kitchen for breakfast and fruit smoothies. Froze smoothies in Mason jars and brought on our outing for cool refreshing drinks later in the day. Lots of great beach chairs, umbrellas in closet.
I enjoyed my stay at this property and found it to be centrally located to everything I wanted to do on Kauai. I was very happy with everything that was supplied in the condo in particular in the kitchen, but for those that would be interested in beach equipment there was that too. I would definitely recommend the property to those going to Kauai for a trip.
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and we had an incredible week! The condo is well stocked, very clean, and is in a great location. We loved waking up early to watch the sunrise on the beach, and Kapa'a is perfectly located to enjoy the sights of both the North and South shores of the island. Would definitely stay here again!
We loved the location and really enjoyed the space. Thank you so much for a lovely stay- if we make it back to Kauai, we would love to stay here again!
Clean, comfortable and quiet. Very well stocked and everything you need to just about anything. Walk to beach, restaurants and stores. Easy to get to the west and north sides of the Island. Great place to see a great island.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was quiet, easy to find, and fulfilled our needs perfectly. If/when we return to Kauai, we will definitely consider staying here again. Micki and Bill were great hosts!!
Such a great location, close to everything in Kapa'a and Wailua. The condo is in great shape and communication with Micki was friendly and responsive. Definite recommend!

Had a wonderful visit in Kauai! Our stay was ver relaxing and from check-in to check out, everything was great. Our hosts were very responsive and the unit had everything we needed for our stay. The shopping center next door had a few restaurants to choose from, a small store for groceries, and there were a few resorts within walking distance offering other dining/bar options.
Convenient location to get to all sites on the island (North Shore / South Shore / Waimea Canyon). Nice, roomy, clean place convenient to shopping/restaurants. The beach here is not good for swimming, which was fine with us.

About the host
Hosted by Micki Evslin
We have made Kauai our home for the past forty five years, but grew up in New York. Between then and now, we've also lived in Vermont, Maine, Mexico and Guam.
We have been married for 55 years (started dating in high school!) and have 4 children and nine grandchildren, most of whom -- yea! --- also live on Kauai.
Micki is an artist/designer who currently owns a store on Kauai, KIKO:simple goods (www.kikokauai.com). She was the former co-owner of the Sotheby's real estate office on Kauai. She is also a yoga teacher who doesn't teach and an artist who doesn't have time to create much.
Bill is a retired pediatrician and hospital administrator. He is currently working on a book about consciousness and just released a book about the hazards of pesticides.
They currently live just a few blocks from the condo because they too love the island's Coconut Coast.
Why they chose this property
Plantation Hale has always appealed to us not only because of it's low profile and old -timey feel, but also because it is fabulously located without the high price tag of its more ritzy neighbors. A long stretch of white sand beach is located right across the street (you walk through a meadow) from our unit. Plantation Hale's immediate neighbors are The Coconut Marketplace (full of shops and restaurants), The Sheraton, The Islander Hotel, The Kauai Coast Resort and the soon-to-be-built Hyatt. Each of these hotels also has restaurants and some have spas, all within an easy walk of our unit.
What makes this property unique
As soon as we bought the unit in the summer of 2016, we did an extensive remodel. I believe we are the only owners who removed the top cabinets that obstructed the view from the kitchen. We also removed a large floor to ceiling cabinet near the entry. This opened up the living room/kitchen area, making it feel much more spacious and inviting. Everything was either replaced, recarpeted or retiled. It now has a happy, fresh, open, tropical feel.
