Ironwoods House
                                                    
The "Ironwoods House," nestled among
Ironwoods Pines close to the sea, is also a 700
square foot (+decks) cottage with open beam
ceilings and wood parquet floors. In fact, it is
identical in design to the Sea Grape House, but
oppositely oriented, like right and left hands.

The Ironwoods is raised on 10' pilings. It is right
next door to the Sea Grape House. The ocean
view is wonderful because the ocean is just a
few feet away, yet in the distance is Niihau
Island.

Ole loves to play Hawaiian slack-key guitar. Eileen
loves to cook. We both love to lay around and be
lazy, so an important feature is our hammock.
You're welcome to use it, but there is a lot to see
on Kauai!  Beaches. Rain forests with waterfalls.
A high altitude swamp in a crater.
Farmer's Markets. Mount Waialeale. Hanalei Bay.
Princeville, Poipu, and Kukuiolono Golf Courses.
The Na Pali Coast. Etc, etc, etc! When will you find
the time to lay around in the hammock?
It is very dark in Kekaha. There are few lights, so star and meteor
watching is often superb. Want to watch a satellite pass overhead? Just
lie still on a deck chair looking up after sunset!
Below is covered parking. In the yard is an
extra, outdoor shower and barbeque grill.
Under the stair is a shared wash machine. We
use a solar dryer (clothesline). There are
beach chairs, straw mats, an ice chest, and
beach toys. Eileen has taped a library of
3-star movies.
Wireless Internet access is free.
Kekaha village, on the sunny leeward side of
Kauai, is a small bedroom community at the
foot of Waimea Canyon. We are three miles
from the Waimea River, where Captain Cook
first landed in Hawaii in 1778 and where ruins
of an old Russian fort guard the rivermouth.
Two miles to the east is Waimea Town. Salt
Pond is 9 miles, Poipu hotels are a 30 minute
drive, and it's 45 minutes to the airport.
In the cool air up the inactive volcano behind us is Kokee State Park with its
Natural History Museum, 40 miles of hiking trails, waterfalls, endangered
species of birds and plants, including some of the last endemic Hawaiian
Rain Forest, and views of the Waimea Canyon and of the Na Pali Coast
4,000 feet below.
There are few tourists here, but there are restaurants, grocery & liquor
stores, a post office, gas stations, video rentals, and a library in Waimea.
Having lived over 30 years in Hawaii, we can answer many questions you
may have, but after we greet you we will not invade your privacy.                
    Aloha,
                    Ole and Eileen

Directly across the street waves crash on huge boulders. A few feet to the
east is a dark sand beach stretching about two miles to Kikiaola Small Boat
Harbor. A few feet to the west is a hidden "pocket beach." About 200 yards
to the west is perhaps the longest uninterrupted white sand beach in the
Hawaiian Archipelago.
Also in that direction is a "Keiki pool" tidepool, a
beach park with
a lifeguard stand, Barking Sands, and Polihale State Park
at the western tip of the Na Pali Coast (The End of the Road)
.
