We adored staying with Simon at the home away from home he's created. We stayed in the Love Shack for 3 nights and after that experience it was hard to stay elsewhere the rest of our trip. Before going, I didn’t completely believe the reviews that said “cancel all of your other hotel plans and just stay here the whole... more

We stayed in the Love Shack, an awesome cottage apart from the main house. Simon has thought of everything. There is a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor grill, beach chairs, umbrella, towels, and so much more. One block from the beach although it is very private.

The set up at the surf board house is perfect. You have a gorgeously decorated and themed apartment full of amazing appliances, beautiful furniture and linen.

Inside, there were high quality amenities from the top notch appliances, to a strong hot shower, local organic soaps in the bathroom and... more

The Surfboard House is the most relaxing, authentic beach hideaway you can find in Kauai. My husband and I were looking for a chill beach spot for our one year anniversary after an adventurous honeymoon where we stayed at some very swanky hotels (Aman Resorts, Mandarin Oriental, etc). Even though there wasn't any turn-down service our Cowgirl Suite did not... more

We spent our honeymoon here and it was perfect. We loved having our own little pad to ourselves and being able come and go as we please. And it was the perfect location! more
