Why Kevin chose West Side
The late Carl Anderson and Pam courageously built their dream home by hand. Loving the west side for its miles of white sand beaches and uncrowded surf spots. Unbelievable sunsets with great waves, views of whales, boaters, and other sea life from the deck.
What makes this apartment unique
For surfers there's a great surf spot across the street with year round surfing and boogie boarding. No matter what time of year we get swells from both directions.We have no extra charges for the many ammenities we offer. We are twenty minutes from either Poli Hale Beach (one of the greatest) and the Waimea Canyon (sometimes descibed as th Grand Canyon of the Pacific).

Felt like home
Wonderful host/wonderful location and so close to everything! Will Definitely return for another visit and stay at this location!!
Absolutely Amazing!
My experience here was second to none. Hosts were extremely warm, helpful and hospitable. Had excellent suggestions and really knew the area. I am excited to come back and visit in the future!
Very kind host
Kevin was extremely nice and helpful, but it wasn't the place for us. We ended up leaving a day early and staying in Lihue.
Warm and inviting. Much like staying at a friend's house.
My wife and I only stayed here two nights but wished we'd booked more time! Place was neat and tidy. You have an excellent view of ocean from every room in the apartment except for the bathroom and bedroom.
I must admit, I was a little concerned that we'd be hearing road noise all night long. I was pleased to find that once you close the sliding glass doors in the living room, the noise from the road all but disappears.
I couldn't find anything with the property that would warrant a complaint. Sure, there are a couple cosmetic flaws but nothing that caused us any issues. I noted the surface rust on the outside of the refrigerator that was mentioned in one of the reviews of the property. The rust is purely cosmetic and doesn't hurt anything. Opening the fridge reveals a super clean interior that looks practically new. Rusted metal parts are to be expected when you are less than 50 yards from the ocean as salt water doesn't play well with metal.
One thing to be aware of, the A/C in the bedroom defaults to an energy saver mode every time it is turned off. This mode causes the A/C to cycle on and off. If you want the A/C to run all night to keep you cool while you sleep, you need to switch it to normal mode.
Pam was a wonderful host and great to talk to. As I understand it, Kevin is the one who normally deals with customers. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Kevin while we were there. Pam admitted she was a little out of her element dealing with customers. That said, my wife and I enjoyed our conversations with her and thought she did a fantastic job.
During our trip, we visited all parts of the island and have to say that we will be back to this part of the island the next time we vacation to Hawaii. This part of the island has a more local feel to it and we really enjoyed the small town atmosphere as opposed to the resort areas of the island. We will definitely be staying at Pam and Kevin's the next time we're here. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Nice view
We had a very nice view, it's close to the road but it didn't bother us, we had every meal outside looking at the ocean.
The place had everything we needed and Kevin and Pam were always quick to answer our questions. Waimea Canyon is close and the island is not too big so we were able to reach all places we were looking to visit. Mahalo!
budget with $$ view
This is a hard review to write, we are not trying to sound negative about the place!. We did enjoy the stay very much. We were only booked in for one night though.
Kevin is a very helpful and good host. Unfortunately due to our short visit we did not get much of a chance to meet Pam. They do have just about every thing you need for outdoor activities.
The suite is large, and you can see when first built was an awesome sight to behold.
The view from the front deck is spectacular. It is right on a main highway, ( ocean, road then house)so there is road traffic. However the bedroom is in the back, (with a very nice air conditioner) and we did not find noise (traffic or otherwise) a problem.
The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom big and spacious, ( though it could use a new shower head) and for the most part the whole place was clean.
There is an aura though of lack of clean throughout. Not from a lack of vacuuming, or dusting or wiping down, but, simply from the aging of the unit and lack of upgrading (carpets, doors windows, etc.etc) The state of the back yard, which although you don't rent or use, still is visible. So if you are someone who likes the new and shiny, you may not find this unit to your taste. Also it is an upstairs unit, with stairs, no type of lifts. I mention this in case stairs are an issue for traversing and because there is only one set. The stair situation should be looked into, both for some repairs and if nothing else, rope ladders should be supplied to allow for a rear egress in case of an emergency.
If visiting, we would stay there again.
