We were here the first week in February and sat in the back yard and watched whales. What a treat! The Waimea Canyon is a short drive. Beaches were uncrowded. We bought some fresh Ahi tuna from a local fisherman and cooked it on the grill while we watched a gorgeous sunset. The cottage was very cute and very clean. The open windows always allowed a nice ocean breeze.
The town of Waimea pretty much closes up by 7:30 PM so be prepared. Kendall was very accommodating! Thank you for a great stay!
