The setting of this property is spectacular, perched on the waters edge with amazing views, picturesque sunsets and lush surroundings. The home is spacious, well appointed and spotless. Once you unpack there is no need to ever leave as there is a sparkling pool with a hot tub, dry sauna, putting green, fire pit, bbq and comfortable loungers. Inside, the oversized living room, king dining table and wooden library/pub provide festive areas to escape the sun and heat. The miles of uninterrupted night sky took our breath away for viewing the planets and stars. We shopped at specialty markets, fruit stands, bakeries, chocolate factories, coffee plantations and even a fisherman’s catch of the day. Several meals were had at local restaurants in Waimea.
We would definitely return as this non resort - non tourist style of vacation definitely is the way to enjoy Hawaii to its fullest. A shout out to Gary, the property caretaker, who was so accommodating with the check in, providing fruit from the property including a coconut husking demo and available to handle repairs as needed. While this VRBO exceeded our expectations, it may be time for the owner to update amenities such as sheets, towels, plates, silverware, glassware, pots and pans to a current and fresh style. And move to a preventative maintenance plan for the HVAC. Thank you for allowing us to have a most memorable stay in the islands.
