If you're someone who likes to feel like one of the locals, Kendall's place is the perfect one for you. Her house is located southwest of the island where there's always great weather. We only experienced the rain when we drove to Po'ipu and Lihue. The house is close to sandy beaches for swimming like the Salt Pond Beach (our favorite), hiking the Waimea Canyon, or touring the Na Pali coast. Driving to the east or north shores are pleasant 1-2 hour drives. And, of course, enjoying Jojo's shave ice to quench the day's heat is always a pleasure.
At the end of the day, Kendall's place is for quiet relaxation before the next day's exploration. It's in a quiet neighborhood. We felt safe. The house is neat and spacious. I particularly loved the wall-to-wall tatami mat in one of the rooms and the outdoor shower was a welcome refreshment from the summer heat. On top of that, we got to taste the mangoes, thanks to Chris, the gardener, who picked the fruits from the tree planted in the front yard. What a treat!
I will certainly come back and spend my vacation in Kendall's place.
Thanks so much, Kendall!
