Lovely house, very charming and welcoming. We really enjoyed staying at Hale La'akea. We didn't get to meet Kendall, but she left the keys and was very available for any questions or needs. The is situated on the western end of the island. Good for getting to know the Waimea Canyon, the sunset at Polihale Beach and for taking the raft to Napali Coast. But it's at least a one hour drive to see anything else. And a two hour drive to get to the also beautiful north shore, where the prettiest beaches are. The house was very clean and had everything we needed: cooler, beach chairs, etc. It's a very calm and more authentic neigborhood than the south and east resort areas.
