Kendall was easy to communicate with, and generously let us check in a bit early. It is definitely not a touristy area which has advantages and disadvantages. We loved walking across the road and having the beach pretty much to ourselves to watch the glorious sunsets at night! It is also close the the small boat harbor where we took a fabulous trip to the Na Pali coast, which has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world! The house is more beach cottage than upscale rental, with vintage kitchen and bathrooms. There is only one window AC, and it was hot in the house. There are also many wandering roosters and barking dogs to make sure you don't over sleep. I have to say I was a bit surprised by the area surrounding the house. There is a big, hulking, rusting sugar mill behind the house that isn't shown in the photo, and the area seems low income with government subsidized housing about. It is convenient to visit Waimea canyon from here, the north shore is about 2 hours away. The beautiful sand beach across the street was definitely the highlight of staying here.
