Patrick was very welcoming and informative. The house is absolutely gorgeous with spectacular views. The only thing that were initially disapointed with (coming all the way from Australia and expecting to be staying in the tropical greenery of the "Garden Island" was that Waimea is in the very dry brown part of the island. However, the whole island can be easily accessed from here and it is so much closer to the spectacular Waimea Canyon (absolutely the best thing to see in Kauai!). All in all , a wonderful stay!
