Meet your host, Andrew

Member since 2021

I moved to Kauai in early 2023 from San Diego after visiting the island for just a few days in 2022. Since then, it has been an amazing home and I'm still not done exploring everything there is to offer. I love sharing my van with first-time visitors and island regulars/residents. Please let me know if you'd like help deciding what to do and places to see!

An absolute epic experience from the get go. The van had everything you would need. Andrew was a legend to deal with giving all his tips on the must do spots. Van life in this amazing place was in our opinion a major highlight of the trip.
Highly recommend!

Can you "camp" in this van? Yes. Is it comfortable? No. I am 5'8" and my husband is 6'2" and we could not sleep comfortably on the bed. And we could not stand up in the vehicle without crouching. The overall condition of the van is a little more run-down than the pictures show.

Had a great time in the camper van touring the island!!

We had a great time! Excellent communication, easy to drive. Cant beat the price for accommodation and vehicle all in one.
Water and electricity easy to use with the flip of a switch. Van runs great (tho AC not terribly cold).
We were two friends- spent the first night both on the mattress but also packed an inflatable sleeping pad which we used the second night (plenty of room to stretch out on the floor of the van).
Gas burners worked great- we just made coffee and heated up left overs.
It felt secure- looks much like a working van with no windows into the sleeping/living space- this was a plus for us as we wanted to be more discrete (even when sleeping in campsites).
Highly recommended.
Thanks Andrew!

We had a great time with this set up! Andrew was so communicative and easy to work with. He picked us up from the airport, and organized a later check out. The van itself was clean and got the job done. I would say it's pretty small if you happen to be tall; other reviews and the description mentioned it, but I would not recommend for anyone over 6ft tall. I'm 5'9" and my boyfriend is 6'5" so it was a VERY tight squeeze and we could not really extend our legs. We made it work for a quick 2 night trip! Other than that, the van was perfect for what we needed.

We rented it for two weeks, the van worked perfectly, when Andrew gave it to us it was clean and in perfect conditions.
He was super helpful and available at all times. Gave us advice and everything we needed. I would 100% recommend it for anyone who wants to have a fun, outdoors experience in Kauai. We got the camping experience but in a really comfortable and clean van. If you are shorter than 5’3 you can fully stand inside which makes it even better. Thanks Andrew!

Q.How does using the bathroom work in this camper?
A.
A portable toilet is available as an add-on for $30. Most renters find the public restrooms and showers at the campgrounds and beaches work for their trip, but if you'd like one for peace of mind please do so! Emptying the portable toilet will be the renter's responsibility.

Q.Are there any campgrounds where we shouldn't stay?
A.
Lydgate Beach Park and Ahukini State Park are both areas I would avoid camping for the night. Even during the day there have been thefts reported. Anini and Salt Pond are two of my favorites to camp!

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
We can accomodate check-in/out in the hours between 11am and 4pm. If your travel plans have you arriving outside of this timeframe, please select Early Check In: 7am-11am or Late Checkout: 4pm-830pm as applicable in the "Add-Ons" section of when you book your trip. For any arrivals/departures outside of 7am - 830pm please send us a message so we can figure out what works best for everyone!
