We were walking around Kapa'a and noticed this sture.
About 15 years ago, we rented the main house at the Lydgate farm for a week.
It was available for rent through VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner).
It was a wonderful house on the farm where they grew Cacao among other fruits.
As part of our rental, we were allowed to join the farm tour for free.
It was a memorable place and we had a memorable experience.
The house is large with a lower level with two additional bedrooms which we didn't need or use.
It also has a very large lanai where we had coffee in the morning and watched the sunset in the evening.
It seems that they only the the VRBO rental for a short time.
Our host was Tony Lydgate who owned the property.
The Lydgates have a long history in Kauai (one of the Beaches is named after them). We found out that Tony's son took over and expanded the business including the store in Kapa'a.
The store was closed when we went by.
We'll try to go back when it's open...
