We had an amazing ten days at this property. The location was fantastic, being on the beach was a big reason we chose this home. Gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. We could see whales from the yard and even had a monk seal sunnng himself in front of the place one afternoon! It is in a very quiet part of the island, away from the more populated areas. The pool is in great condition, very clean and well maintained. The home is beyond spacious. We took advantage of the laundry room - were able to pack less and wash up mid-week. The beds were extremely comfortable. Ocean views from every bedroom. SO much storage to use for your things. The kitchen was great- ice drawer in freezer so didn’t have to buy ice. Great appliances and adequate cookware. Secluded, gated home. Would absolutely stay here again

We loved this house and it was great for our family vacation. We enjoyed the beach, pool, and the beautiful home. In addition to the owner, the caretaker and housekeeper were especially helpful and made our trip easy. We very much appreciate their help in making lemonade out of lemons for us! Thank you!

We brought our whole family--12 people ages 2 to 61--and rented this home and Michelle's other property next door (#328780) and had one of the best weeks of our lives! When we were home, we spent most of our time in the pool, on the beach, and in the barbecue room. The rest of the time, we explored the non-touristy west side of the island (including JoJo's Shave Ice--don't miss it!!!). Both of the homes were beautiful, well-equipped, and clean, and the landscaping made us feel like we were at our own private resort. Steve, the resident property manager, was so responsive and took care of everything we needed (and he's a really nice guy!), The only thing we didn't like about staying in these homes was leaving at the end of the week. Thanks, Michelle!

Michelle and Neil made our vacation wonderful. The house may be the best deal in all of Kawai. Everything worked worked the way it should and anybody would be Happy with this home.

We had not had an extended vacation (longer than a week) since our honeymoon 33 years ago so we decided to splurge and stay for a month. This home was a home away from home. At the end of our time there, I had to remember that I really did like our home in Texas and it was ok to leave (albeit, reluctantly). We chose this home because it afforded us the flexibility we needed to have our family come in shifts. There is a beautiful lawn looking out onto the ocean, a beach and the ocean right through the gate, a well decorated guest house next door for overflow guests, and the house itself is roomy and magnificent. All 3 of the bedrooms have a wonderful view, so when we shifted from the master bedroom so our grand babies could sleep next to their parent in the adjacent study, we did not feel slighted in the least. The sounds of the ocean were mesmerizing. It seemed our every need was anticipated. Michelle, the owner patiently answered my many questions and has thoughtfully placed things throughout the home to make it feel just like a home and not merely a tourist crash pad. Neil, the caretaker is gem and a fount of information. He greeted all of our many family members with the same kindness and made us feel truly welcome. We had never been to this part of the island before and heard that it was warmer than the rest of the island but all of us fell in love with Waimea. One of the reasons that we booked this house was because it has air conditioning, which we did need. But the heat was minimal and because of the dryness, we were able to spend more time out side enjoying the sun. Because the skies were clearer the night sky was spectacular. Neil suggested a 'star party' where telescopes were brought in and we were taught a slight astronomy lesson. That is still one of the things our kids talk about. I could go on and on about the fresh poke and shave ice that we ate almost daily at the market in town and we have tried in vain to duplicate here or too many to mention wonderful things about the area, but it would take too long. My mother was hesitant to make the trip to Hawaii and her response when we had to leave pretty much summed up what the rest of us felt. We wanted to go back even before we left the edge of Waimea. Thank you, Michelle and Neil We can't wait to go back.

We just spent our second stay at this fabulous estate. It is so well appointed and laid out. It has been a dream to stay there. It has everything we desire and then some. The estate has beautiful artwork and structural details everywhere. It is serene and relaxing and just lovely. Both of our stays have given us wonderful family memories with our adult children and their spouses. We appreciate the security and having a caretaker on site. Also, the owner has always been just awesome and responsive.

You know those exclusive luxury homes you always wish you could live in or stay in? How about if you had two of these homes side-by-side on private oceanfront. My wife and I have stayed in both homes twice, and we wish we could live in either one of them permanently! We have often thought of renting both homes at once to host a family reunion. It has truly become a second home to us and has become, by far, our preferred getaway vacation destination. We love the southwest coast past Waimea. For you return connoisseurs to Kauai, you know how variable (meaning wet and rainy) this lush tropical island can be. We have come to prefer the sunnier southwest coast and the beautiful wide sandy beaches this area offers, all the way out past Mana. Either home caters to our desire for natural beauty and a less traveled path. That said, give us luxury - not rustic accommodations. These homes are luxury. Michelle, the owner, is kind, loving, attentive and is constantly thinking of every small detail and accoutrement to make our stay nothing but exceptional. And wait until you meet Neal the on-site caretaker. He is tops. Be sure to have coffee with him in the morning to get your bearings and plan your day. We'll stop gushing now. Go. You will not be disappointed.

Just spent the month of Sept 2015 at this wonderful property. This was our third time at this home and it just gets better and better. Every time we visit, the owner has made more improvements in the amenities and decor. This time we enjoyed a lovely firepit down by the oceanfront for watching the incredible sunsets with a glass of wine. What a way to end the day.

We have stayed at this beautiful home on Kauai several times now. We keep coming back, and it is wonderful! In fact, it is even more wonderful each time we visit, as it seems there always are new things to enjoy. For our visit over the holidays this past year, there was a new outdoor fire pit area --- perfect for watching sunsets over the ocean and enjoying the brilliant starry sky at night with the glow of the fire warmly lighting the comfortable seating area. This home is perfect for our family – spacious, elegant and comfortable, with a large yard and great pool for the kids to enjoy every day. The caretaker Neil is fun and always helpful, available whenever we needed something. Each time on Kauai at this home, we are always sure to experience our “routine favorites” --- scenic drives around the island, Polihale, the Canyon, the charming nearby towns of Waimea and Hanapepe, beach-walking, surfing, scuba-diving, and so much more. And in between all those activities, we love lounging around the pool, watching the kids swim and the whales spout out in the ocean! During the flight home, we couldn’t help but start planning our next visit. We definitely will be back … many times, we hope!

We have stayed in this beautiful home in Kekaha several times now, and recently spent an incredible two weeks there over the holidays. Our experiences at this home are always so great that we don't bother even looking for other places to stay when we have the chance to go to Hawaii. The house is spacious and beautiful --- well appointed and very comfortable. The yard is large and fun, lots of room for the kids to run around and play. The home is right on the beach, so we would often start our days walking the beach and playing in the surf, then would spend hours each day in the pool, in the hot tub, watching whales from the lanai. The caretaker Neil is always incredibly helpful whenever we need something. And the west side of Kauai is beautiful, quiet, and yet within easy reach of everything we enjoy doing --- scuba, snorkeling, boating the Napali coast, kayaking a gentle river, hiking the canyon, discovering beautiful beaches. We just returned ... and can't wait to go back!
