This place was a great non-resort, affordable, quiet, central location on the island. Waimea’s cinder cones and distant views of Mauna Kea were stunning. One of the farmer’s markets was within walking distance, as well as some eating places, shops and a park a mile away. It was a short drive to pick up groceries or go to other restaurants. We also liked that some northern beaches could be reached in about a half-hour drive.
The house was not fancy but met our basic needs and Patrizia was easy to reach, provided coffee (K cups) for every morning and quickly handled most everything we asked her about. We very much appreciated having a washer and dryer to use and being able to cook meals in the kitchen as desired.
We loved the cooler weather in Waimea. Usually mornings were cool until about 9:00 and evenings began cooling around 4:00. (February) There was a space heater in the bedroom that took the chill off at night which was also greatly appreciated. Every day reached the 70’s or 80’s and rain was often only a short mist. When it was rainy the sunny beach was 1/2 hour away!
