Beautiful views

We had a very nice stay here. The house was very clean and has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is decorated like a home and not a rental. We had some trouble finding it in the dark. Turn at the driveway where the yellow hydrant is and you’ll find it no problem. The only con is the road noise, as others have said. It is very loud day and night. I could hear it with the room ac unit, two sound machines and a fan running.

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.

Very nice home. Across from the beach, however this is not a guarded beach. Salt Pond beach was the best beach within a few miles. Amenities were nice.

Beautiful and comfortable waterfront stay

Travelled to Kekaha as a group of 7 family and friends. This house was the perfect place for us to gather and start our adventures. The screened in porch was everyone’s favorite for meals and card games, and we loved the upper lanai for morning coffee and sunsets. The layout of the bedrooms gave us all space and privacy when needed, and the common spaces were well furnished to spend time together. the waves crashing on the rocks across the street are so dramatic and beautiful! The beach in Kekaha didn’t seem great for swimming, but we travelled a short distance to salt pond or poipu when we wanted to splash around. The property manager Chad was so helpful and accessible, and we really appreciated his responsiveness and flexibility with our trip. Other reviews mention the road noise, and we did notice it but it did not bother us. It quiets down at night, and when it was daytime, we were exploring or spending time by the water. We had a beautiful stay, thank you!

40 Year Anniversary Trip

This is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home across the street from the ocean. The very small beach across the street is not for swimming, but there is a beach at Kekaha Beach Park a 5 min drive down the road where we had our vow renewal. There is a fair amount of car traffic on the road between the house and the ocean. The yard is beautiful with blooming hibiscus and other tropical flowering shrubs. The kitchen is large and roomy and well equipped with the exception of needing a complete set of measuring spoons and cups. There was a small problem with ants in the downstairs 1/2 bath and downstairs bathroom. Sitting on the upstairs lanai at night you get a beautiful view of the stars. If you are looking for a quiet retreat this is great. Westside activities we enjoyed were Poliholi Beach State Park (need 4 WD), Waimea Canyon State Park, Kokee State Park, Salt Pond Park, and the Na Pali Experience Boat tour. Our young adult children that joined us were interested in visiting restaurants and beaches and other activities around the south/east/north sides of island which required 1-2 hours of driving several days as there is only 1 road around the island. This VRBO was exactly what we wanted; however, our young adult children and their spouses would have preferred being on the East or South shore.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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!

Beautiful home

This house was perfect for our group. Beautiful home, great setup for our family plus a family friend (master upstairs and another large bedroom with en suite on the first floor). Lots of areas to sit and recharge (multiple lanais). The beach view was amazing. Lots of amenities in the home to use (condiments, spices, beach toys, snorkels, other beach accessories). This side of the island is much less touristy but that is what we were looking for. Close to lots of Waimea Canyon hiking and several really great restaurants in the town of Waimea. The beach was beautiful but not a swimming beach for kids but our kids really enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the waves. Overall, great place and would choose to stay again.

Nice home bad location

This is really a lovely home but we didn’t get much chance to enjoy it. We spent all of our time driving to Lahui and the east shore North Shore because that’s where all the activities are. The house is showing its age but it is a lovely home. I will probably not stay here again just because of the location and the fact that we didn’t get to enjoy it…it was still dark when we left and it was dark when we got back…
