Mahalo nui loa for your lovely review! We're happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you visit us again soon! Aloha!
We absolutely loved this house. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms, beautiful views of the ocean, well stocked kitchen, walkable to local restaurants and stores, and all the beach gear we needed. Hosts were kind and communicative.
We arrived to a clean and well put together property. The neighbors were sitting on their back patio and greeted us and told us about the area and gave us recommendations. Restaurants, a grocery store, coffee, and shaved ice all within walking distance. Enjoyed our stay

We had an incredible stay in Waimea. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked and we felt like we had a private beach, watching the sunset every night was a highlight and even though the water isn’t good for swimming our kids loved playing along the waters edges.The location is walking distance to a number of lunch and dinner spots great for takeout and it’s easy access to the Waimea Canyon. This area is not very touristy, more residential and quiet at night. Highly recommend for folks looking for an experience away from resorts and busy beaches.

Mahalo for your kind review and important feedback for future guests! We're very happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you visit us again soon! Aloha!
This house was a very clean and had everthing we needed. We would recommend adding grab bars in the bathroom for elderly/disable. We would definitely come back for another stay.
This home is so much better in real life. We loved having beachfront access, and being able to hear the waves. The beds are all very comfortable. We loved our stay and would book this house again.
The property was well kept, very clean, quiet, beautiful beach to walk on, had everything we needed. Waimea is a nice quiet town with everything you need, grocery store, restaurants, shopping.

Mahalo for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had a perfect vacation and enjoyed your time in the home. We’d love to welcome you back for another amazing getaway. Aloha!
This house was perfect for us. We had plenty of room and our host thought of everything to make the stay a pleasant one. Many items were provided for us and we had all the tools needed to cook, grill, enjoy the beach, and just hang out on the back yard. Stores in the town were an easy walk away. Loved our visit.
Loved our stay. Home was clean and well stocked. The neighborhood is quiet which was wonderful. Able to walk on the beach daily. Walk to grocery store if needed. Would stay again in a heart beat. Thank you.

Kauai in general is very relaxing. The people are very nice & welcoming. The culture is preserved & present. The pace is very laid back, no rush. Very peaceful and tranquil!

Mahalo nui loa for sharing your experience! We're so glad you felt the peaceful, welcoming spirit of Kauai. We hope your time here was as relaxing as it sounds and that you’ll return soon. Aloha!
This VRBO was everything we hoped for and more! The location was unbeatable—right on the beach, with stunning ocean views and just a short walk to restaurants and shops. The place itself was even better than the photos. Super clean and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into the details, making it feel like a true home away from home.If you're looking for the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience in Hawaii, this is the spot. Already dreaming of coming back!

Mahalo nui loa for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that you found the home beautiful, well-kept, and in a quiet location. Your positive feedback means a lot to us, and we're glad we could contribute to a pleasant and comfortable stay. We hope to welcome you back soon for another Enjoyable visit. Aloha!
Outdoor dining area is great. The beach is not crowded at all. The house is spacious and offers a lot of privacy for each bedroom. The kitchen has all the utensils and pot/pans you need. But you will have to buy everything to cook with including oil, sugar, flour, and any baking stuff (baking soda etc).
This is a beautiful well kept property. 7 in our party and no complaints from anyone. Nice beach for walking, jogging, but you cannot swim there and even wading is difficult due to slope of the sand. Waema the town is only 3 blocks from the house with gasoline, 2 stores and various little shops and eateries. 1 bank and 1 credit union. Enjoyed our stay. Would stay again.
