Location: Kekaha, West Kauai, Kauai, Hawaii, USA (Kauai's Sunny West Side, Minutes from Waimea Canyon)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 5)
This is the side of Kauai with the most sun and the best weather all year long. Kekaha beach is the longest white sand beach in all of Hawaii. This natural, uncrowded beach stretches for more than 15 miles & offers swimming, surfing, boogie boarding and fishing. It's the best walking beach on the island and leads all the way to the cliffs of the NaPali coast. Just 2 blocks from our driveway is the road leading to Waimea Canyon. Two large grocery stores are 2 miles away. Minutes to the harbor to catch a sunset cruise along the famous NaPali coast. Watch the whales from the beach.
Custom constructed in 2000, this plantation style home is open and airy with soaring ceiling, and is only 200 feet from the ocean. The upscale furnishings are from the collections of Tommy Bahama, Henry Link, and Delano and Seymour's Hawaiian House. There are many original art pieces of Hawaiian influence and island style. You'll find yourself spending most of your time outside on the 36 foot oceanside lanai! After a day at the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower.
Within the large, private yard, are multitudes of flowering plants, as well as fruit trees such as orange, papaya, Pomegranate, lemon, avocado, mango, and lime. There is nothing like sitting on the Oceanside lanai, having a drink, and reaching for a lime from the tree while enjoying the changing colors of the sky as the sun sets over the ocean. The master suite is oceanside with an oversize shower for two. Two other bedrooms share a bath and a side lanai. The gourmet kitchen is a cook's dream. Enjoy meals at home with dining inside or out on the lanai as the sun sets on another beautiful day.
A short 25 minute ride to Poipu with it's upscale shopping and dining options. Fabulous snorkeling at Poipu Beach.

THIS IS WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING....
* Thank you so much for providing such a lovely, well-appointed home. We had everything we needed and really couldn't have asked for a better home to relax in and enjoy Kauai. The decor, furnishings, bed linens, artwork, kitchenware, ocean accessories, etc., were so appreciated and useful. I came back home and told my husband, all of our kitchenware is basically 'crap' and we need to upgrade! You spoiled me!
We truly had a wonderful time and our 8-year-old daughter never wanted to leave. She fell head over heels in love with your backyard and we videotaped her saying goodbye (tears and all) to the back of the house. It was so pitifully sweet and quite heartbreaking. She keeps asking us why we choose to live in Kentucky when we could live in Kauai. Funny, if it weren't for career and family, I'd wonder the same thing.
Thank you again for the beautiful home and all that came with it. You have a very special place in Kauai and we hope to visit again soon.
GUESTS FROM EDGEWOOD, KENTUCKY - APRIL '09

GUESTS FROM ALBERTA, CANADA - AUGUST, '08
* What an amazing sanctuary from the real world on the mainland. It was the vacation of a lifetime. Your Attention to detail and the thoughtfulness you provide your guests is unsurpassed. We truly admire your good will towards the the people that automatically become your extended family in your Hawaiian home. Thanks to your generosity, this vacation turned into a life changing experience. Beyond Mahalo! GUESTS FROM HOUSTON, TX - JANUARY, '08
* Thank you so much for letting us stay at your wonderful house in Kekaha. We were so pleased to see ocean from the house. Every morning, we enjoyed watching birds from the back lanai. Every evening, we walked to the beach to see a beautiful sunset.
GUESTS FROM YOKOHAMA CITY, JAPAN - OCTOBER, '07
* We wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our stay at Hale Anuenue! Everything was as mentioned in your VRBO ad and much more. The location was paramount to our experience. We never felt like tourists in Waimea and Kekaha. Many compliments on all the tasteful and gorgeous artwork in your home - WOW. I could have easily moved right in and not changed a thing! The house itself was spotlessly clean!
GUESTS FROM OAKLAND, FLORIDA - SEPTEMBER, '07
* Our stay at your house was just wonderful. We really enjoyed the house and the area and hope to return next year. I have to tell you, eating mangoes right off the tree was one of the highlights of my vacation!
GUESTS FROM SEATTLE, WA - JULY, '07
* Your house is without a doubt, the most nicely furnished house we have ever stayed in. Hopefully we will be able to return once again.
GUESTS FROM EAU CLAIR, WI - SEPT, '06
* I am at a loss for words to thank you enough for sharing your wonderful home with us. Whoever did your home design did a magnificent job.
GUESTS FROM GARLAND, TX - AUGUST, '06
* All I can say is that It was heavenly. Your home is ideal. Plenty of space, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. All the amenities were exceptional. An unexpected thrill was the night sky right at your beach. We've never seen so many constellations. My daughter saw three shooting stars--a tear provoking experience to say the least.
GUESTS FROM MCLEAN, VA, - SEPTEMBER, '05
* We wanted to say thanks for the use of your great beach house on Kauai!! We really appreciated the extra space after our 1 BR at the Marriott. We loved the beach and exploring the canyon. Loved Polihale beach!!!! Thanks again, it's a beautiful place!!
