This 5-acre property, the only true beachfront resort on Kauai's North Shore, is a laid-back, go-barefoot kind of place sandwiched between towering mountains and the sea. Its charm is in its simplicity. There are no phones, TVs, or stereos in the rooms, but you can get complimentary wireless Internet access in the resort's oceanfront common room. Each of the two-bedroom units can sleep a family of four, although this place is popular with the honeymoon crowd. The units are well maintained, with Hawaiian-style furnishings, full kitchens, and lanai. Amenities, such as cocktail receptions and cultural activities, vary from season to season. There's an art gallery, spa, and restaurant on-site. Pros: Oceanfront setting, private, quiet, seventh night free. Cons: Remote location, damp climate.
