Ed White purchased this house in 2003
Why Ed White chose West Side
They constructed this vacation home in 2003 after several visits to Kauai. They stayed in Princeville, Poipou, Kapaa and Kekaha during their many visits and chose to build in Kekaha because it has the best year round weather on the island.
What makes this house unique
They designed this house for large families, multi-generation family gatherings and visits by several friends. There are few, if any, other properties on the island that have 3 master suites and 2 family rooms. Each bath is spacious with oversized showers and double vanities.
With the panoramic ocean view, they added 1350 square feet of covered lanais and large sliding glass doors in all bedrooms and family rooms to maximize the ocean view.
Finally, they added central air because the west side is the sunny side of the island.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This home has first class everything...decor, comfort, cleanliness, and amenities. For 25 years, our group of 5 seniors has stayed in vacation rentals all over the west coast, Italy, Canada and Costa Rica...this house tops them all. Yes, the road is noisy, but we soon stopped hearing it. We highly recommend this vacation rental...it is tops.

Perfect family vacation on Kauai
We just arrived home from staying in this lovely rental for two weeks with our daughter, son-in-law, and two young grandsons. The location was absolutely perfect for attending our family reunion held nearby, and for enjoying the July 4th celebration with fireworks in the park. The hands down favorite feature of the house is the second floor lanai. Waking up to the sound of waves, enjoying coffee and meals at the large table, waving to the passing boats and watching sunsets were our favorite activities. Second favorite feature are the spacious and fabulous bathrooms. Street noise from cars driving by wasn't an issue for us after the second day. With a million dollar view, who even notices the cars? The location is very close to Port Allen for dinner and snorkeling cruises, Salt Pond Park, and it's a quick 3 miles to Waimea for JoJo's Shave Ice, Ishihara's, Big Save, and more. We highly recommend trying Lappert's ice cream a few miles away in Hanapepe where all the art galleries are located. Having a washer and dryer was great and enabled us to pack lighter. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed when we decided to eat in. Tip: there's a small local market across the parking lot from the post office on Kekaha Road that has the best poke on the island. We met several neighbors who were super friendly. There are a few minor maintenance issues that need attention and the beds could do with new pillows, but overall this is a fantastic vacation rental.
Beautiful home away from home!
I must start out by saying how amazing we thought this house was!! My husband and I went to Kauai to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and had 2 other couples that went with us. I couldn't believe my luck in finding a place that had 3 master suites when I was initially searching for a place. It seemed too good to be true! But this house is everything it says and more. When we drove up, it was so inviting. Very well manicured and of course, right across the road from the beach! Inside, it was very clean and well kept. The bedrooms are spacious and the bathrooms are big! Love the showers!! But one thing that really surprised us was how well stocked the kitchen was! Meaning, there are plenty of plates, cups, glasses, silverware, cookware, utensils, etc... It's like someone living there full time just stepped out long enough for us to move in for a week. We couldn't believe it! I've rented other vacation homes before and you were lucky you had stuff to actually cook with. Every meal we ate at the house was eaten out on the veranda/deck. We loved hearing the roar of the ocean and seeing the sun set. While there is traffic noise, it didn't bother us at all and just took in all of the beauty and ocean breezes. If you're looking for a place, don't look any further. We absolutely loved this home. When we go back to Kauai, this is the first place I'll be looking to book. It's that good......
The location for us was perfect. Set on the corner of the main road and the road that leads to Waimea Canyon, it's located in Kekaha, which is about 3 miles further west of a little town called Waimea. Waimea is the driest part of the island, which we also loved. (there's plenty of wet weather if you drive up to Princeville). Waimea has a couple of grocery stores, some small places to eat and one nicer western (meaning more expensive) restaurant called Wrangler's Steakhouse. We loved the atmosphere and the food was fantastic! There's a Wal-Mart in Lihue, but I would suggest you buy only what you might need for the first night and breakfast and get to the house to see what's already there. We made the mistake of buying a LOT before getting there because other places we've been to had nothing. This refrigerator had some condiments and things already. So my suggestion would be to check it out first before making big grocery purchases.
Port Allen and Poipu are really close for fun activities. This house is a must! Book it now!!! You won't regret it!
great getaway house
We had such a wonderful time at this house. The kitchen and the bathrooms were absolutely gorgeous, which is important to me in order to relax and enjoy. The shower was one of my favorite features, it is a step in with no curtains, and with the windows you feel like you are showering outdoors while completely private as well. I also loved the 2nd floor balcony where we spent most of our time overlooking the ocean. We sipped our coffee out there in the mornings, and we had dinner out there as well often. I could watch the ocean waves for hours, and I love the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. The beach which is right there by the house, is mostly unpopulated which is so awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your home. I would love to return some time in the future.
Fantastic vacation rental!!!
I am a huge fan of VRBO, so have rented many vacation rentals over the years. This was one of my very favorites. The owner was great to work with, very accommodating. The house was BEAUTIFUL and they have thought of everything to make your stay very comfortable. The patios were great, we spent most of our awake time at the house on the patios. It was a 3 sisters trip, and we all were wow'ed by the house. We had plenty of space to spend time together and apart as needed. Loved the house, it was super clean, really well laid out, perfect location, and all amenities that we could have wanted. Thank you for renting your house and helping to make our vacation one we will be talking about for a long time to come.
Glorious week in paradise
Stayed here last week with my siblings and their spouses and we had the time of our life. The house is absolutely wonderful and the view is breathtaking. We were up at 5:00AM our first day since we were still on east coast time and the moon over the ocean made the waves look like molten silver! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this home for families or 3 couples. It was perfect. I've already passed along the info to a friend.
A Week in Paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay at this beautiful ocean view home. We were a family of 5 with 3 in their twenties and my husband and I. The ocean view from the lanai (which is quite large) was amazing and we enjoyed our morning coffee here everyday. We spent quite a bit of time at the beach right across the road - the waves were a little high but this was fine for our group. We did a great deal of sightseeing on the island and put alot of miles on our rental car. One of the best sights was within 10 minutes of our home - the Waimea Canyon.
The house is beautiful - the owners have stocked it with absolutely everything you could possibly need including all the staples in the kitchen. The only thing it could use is some sharper knives but this is a small point. The house is clean and very spacious. We would not hesitate to recommend this home and would go back and stay here in a heartbeat. The island of Kauai is spectacular and we would definitely like to visit again.
