We really enjoyed our time in Kekaha at Kendall’s house. My girlfriend and I are working virtually and used her house as a jumping off point for a week to adventure on the west side of the island. Some pros:
1. Great location- very quick drive (3 minutes) to Kekaha State Beach which is beautiful, as close as you can stay to Polihale beach which is magical and people drive from all over the island to visit (we went 3 times), and very close to Waimea Canyon filled with amazing scenery and hikes. We picked this airbnb for proximity to great hiking but also wanted close to a beach for non hike days and Kendalls place was perfect
2. Great internet - important for 2 people on Zoom calls all day. Better than the Marriott we just came from
3. Very cute space - feels as authentic as possible and a true Hawaiian beach home
4. Good outdoor eating space, grill, and an outdoor shower after the beach
Cons:
1. No AC - not a knock against the house and there are a lot of fans. We just didn’t ask ourselves if that was something important to us before booking and we both sleep hot so our next airbnb while we are here will have AC (this is rare on the island and may not matter to you)
2. Not much for food/restaurants locally. Best bet is back in Waimea but still slim pickings. Again, we knew that when we picked Kekaha so weren’t disappointed and the beach and hiking proximity were much more important than this and we planned to cook meals which Kendalls place was great for
Overall great communication from our host and truly fun stay, thank you again for having us!
