Nice House, easily fit 3 couples and an adult son

Overall we had a wonderful stay. The location was good because it was close to Waimea Canyon and town was near. It has plenty of bedrooms, large eating/kitchen, BBQ and lanais.Downside is the road that runs in front of the house, it is a busy, noisy road especially in the morning hours.

Relaxation on the lanai

Beautiful home, well maintained, all the comforts of home with the benefit of upper and lower lani. Fresh breeze and pounding surf to sleep by and rolling waves and long sandy beach to catch some rays and r n r. It is quite a way from other activities, but it’s a small island if over crowded resorts are not your thing then this is it. Loved the stay, loved the house.

It was my dream to bring my 3 daughters to Hawaii! After 3 days on Oahu they chose to stay on Kauai. We had a fantastic time. The accommodations were perfect for our family very impressed with the artwork, and cozy conversation spaces!

Bottom line, it was awesome.

This is the kind of place you hope is available every year because you'll never want to stay anywhere else. It's a 30-45 minute drive to the side of the island that has all the hotels and tourist spots, to us that was a bonus. Right across the street is a beach that was never crowded. The road in front is a highway, but there was never high traffic.

Well located not so elegant

The location of this home is excellent if you like a quiet setting. The home is spacious and comfortably furnished.However it is a bit dated and some things are in need of repair.We had an ant problem that was resolved but only after half our stay was over.The host was responsive to our needs but not really empathetic ..saying things like “ that’s surprising or that’s interesting “ when I reached out about some issues. a bit off-putting. We traveled so far and spent a goodbye of money so the problems did not ruin our stay. We enjoyed every day and saw many wonderful things.

O’hana hale!

This nicely designed residence situated all 4 of my visiting family, all from different areas of the mainland. Each had their own very comfortable area. Everything was well-stocked & organized… a priority for this family. All our questions were responded to promptly. We will absolutely reserve this home for their next trip. It’s more than worth it. Kudos to Chad, who was so informative & helpful. Mahalo nui. Jewel

A Special Place

We loved our stay in Kekaha at Shaka Hale. It's a wonderful, quiet neighborhood near great beaches and the lovely town of Waimea. The house is beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed, with dreamy ocean views, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the West and South sides of the island and being away from the primary tourist areas. Be aware that there is road noise from the highway at all hours, so the primary suite can be a bit noisy at night. Regardless, we loved our time here and highly recommend it. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful remote stay

We were thrilled pulling up to this beautiful home! Our stay was exceptional as we started mornings with coffee and family time on the lanai’s and had a wonderful time enjoying the peace and quiet of the west side of the island. There was an issue with the AC upstairs but I commend Chad and his on-island team Keenan for being creative with solutions to immediately get portable units to make our evenings more comfortable. The layout of the home is perfect offering all places to congregate and also privacy in evenings. Wimea canyon is only a 15 minute drive with lots of private/quiet beaches away from the typical touristy areas of hanalei, Lihue, and poipu. We had a car and were able to drive and explore the entire island with ease. Thank you Shaka Hala for helping us celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday with joy, relaxation, and beauty!! Highly recommend staying here!

This was a perfect getaway home for a week with our family and close friends. Home was well stocked with plenty of amenities. Beautiful sunsets every night! (We just walked across the street and enjoyed sunset every night from the small beach). Chad was very helpful in giving us island recommendations.

Kekaha House

I chose this home due to its ability to house the 9 of us. We consisted of 3 couples and 3 small children. The lay out was perfect for our family and we had plenty of space. The lanai was large and the perfect place to have meals together. This home is on the west side of the island (dryer side). The beach was amazing and had great boogie boarding for experienced swimmers. The excursions were about 15-45 min away from the house, but not a problem for us. This is a more local side of the island and not full of many tourists. The overall experience was 5 stars for us and we plan on returning in 2025.

Breathtaking

We absolutely enjoyed our stay - we had seven people in our party (couple, single and party of four with two 7yr olds). We had plenty of room inside as well as two lanais set up to relax and an outside living area. You could watch the sunset each evening, walk across the street and sit on the rocks next to the ocean with your coffee and gaze up at the stars at night. The house was beautifully decorated and provided plenty of space for family gatherings.

Little ways out but overall a great house.

We were so excited to stay right next to the beach, except when we went the Kekaha beach was not allowing people to enter the water so you were stuck on land. A little ways up by Waimea there was a great beach especially for little kids called the salt Ponds and then we spent a lot of time in Poipu because we wanted to be in the water not just on the beach. The house was great though! It had everything we needed and was so peaceful at night! We would definitely go back at a different time of year!

The property was perfect for us. We each had our own Bed and Bath. The property Manager was easy to reach when we had a water leak in the upstairs bath. (Lived right behind the home). We did have to travel some to other locations to visit but hey we got to see the sights along the way! Mahalo!
