Patrick, our host, was in constant communication to let us know when we could get in the house. We were early and he suggested we get shave ice at JoJo's in Waimea. We found the house just as it was in the photos. It's a 1920's historic home built by the Ishihara family who own the grocery in downtown Waimea. THe furnishings were very Hawaiian making our stay authentic. The house was moved to its current location overlooking the Waimea Canyon about 15 years ago. The view from the rear deck was spectacular and we enjoyed seeing shooting stars at night. We utilized the great kitchen and the outdoor grille to prepare wonderful meals during our stay. The house is in a neighborhood with families, is quiet, and is just at the base of the Waimea Canyon Road making very easy to get to our hikes. The trade winds were delightfully refreshing.
