My wife and I, plus our three teenagers ages, 13, 15 and 18 came to Waimea for a quick little getaway from Oahu for the 4th of July week. We stayed 5 days and 4 nights and boy do we wish we stayed a whole week instead. We’re already missing it. The home was clean, comfortable, well stocked and had a warm and inviting feeling. We appreciated that it had the basic toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, moisturizer, toilet paper, tissue paper, lots of towels, laundry detergent, dishes, pots, pans and kitchen utensils, microwave, coffee maker, a nice sized fridge and freezer. We also loved how it just felt so comfy and cozy. We absolutely loved the decor and how it had a modern, country feel and historical reference items scattered throughout the home such as books or pictures about Waimea and the Paniolo culture. It was so fitting to the home and area. There was a also a stereo which we used often and played the CD’s left there under the tv. The kitchen was a wonderful place to cook and keep an eye on the kids through the window as they sat outside on the lanai played games or ate snacks. We loved the view from the upstairs loft in the mornings and evenings. The neighborhood was quaint and quiet. There are grocery stores, restaurants and shops right down the street and close by. We enjoyed cooking at the home but did enjoy a meal in Waimea at Fish and Hog and my kids and I really thought it was delicious. We loved the location of the home and did a lot if sightseeing all over the island. At the end of each day, we all looked forward to coming back to this home after our escapades. The air was cool and sometimes chilly but it felt fantastic, especially during the Summer. My family loved staying here and we are looking forward to coming back sooner than later.
A Hui Hou,
