Farewell, Dilly Dally

Well today was our farewell to our Kauai B&B and onto our Maui condo. The Dilly Dally B&B was definitely a great experience and we would highly recommend it. I think one of the things we liked about it the most was the little perks that were there for us. On arrival, we had a whole basket of goodies waiting for us in our room (which we still have!). Every night we had some little chocolate treats waiting for us on our bed. Every morning there would be a delicious breakfast waiting outside for us and Pat would come out and talk about the food and where everyone was going for the day. Although we learned to double any time estimate he gave (!), it was still great having our own personal native to help us around the island.


Other perks such as snorkel gear, beach gear, suntan lotion and bug spray, an ice machine and water cooler, coffee maker, microwave, plates and utensils, fresh fruit, and a great view whenever we wanted it were just some of the niceties we found when staying at the Dilly Dally. It was also really nice to have a beautiful pool right outside our door. And having our own A/C unit was great for those humid nights when the fans weren't enough. Although we didn't take advantage of them, there were also multiple TVs and DVDs in our room in case we had stayed a little longer.



The only major downside of the Dilly Dally was its location. It took almost 20 minutes to get to a major road so even going for dinner was like half an hour just to get there. Our trips to the north and south shores were at least an hour, sometimes more. Although it was nice that the car rental company gave us a Subaru, driving definitely got old after a while (see my previous article about driving in Kauai). But, in some ways the location was nice since it was very far out of the way, quiet, and almost zero concern for crime (the owners would leave the doors open and unlocked and their keys in their cars).


Staying at the Dilly Dally was a great experience that we won't forget. Although it is kind of nice to have our own place on Maui that is close to civilization, we will definitely miss all of the little perks and yummy breakfasts at our home away from home on Kauai.
