We enjoyed our stay at Hale La’akea very much. Kendall was very helpful and responsive to communications. The house, while quite lived-in, is filled with 1940s character and Hawaiian spirit, a real time capsule of local history. The location is ideal for exploring the West Side, adjacent to Waimea town and the Waimea Canyon entrance to the east, and central to the remote Polihale State Beach to the north and Port Allen/Hanapepe to the south. We really loved the ‘local’ vibe and less-travelled west side of the island and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Kendall!
