Eighty feet from the sea, with a "Sea Grape" bush just
off the Main Deck, the Sea Grape House has open
beam ceilings and wood parquet floors. The decor
includes indirect lighting, artwork, and flowers. Two of
the five rooms are closed off by wooden louvered
"pocket doors" that slide into the wall when not in use.
The house is fully insulated and has ceiling fans in
every room. The large doors and windows can be
opened to the trade winds to keep it cool and airy
inside.
The Living room is equipped with a cable TV/VCR/DVD, a small library of
taped 3-star movies, a table and chairs, barstool, an uphostered chair,
sleeper sofa, and a sunset view of the popular surf break, Davidsons Point.

The FULL kitchen, separated from the
living room by a cedar bar, includes a
range, refrigerator with ice maker,
blender, coffeemaker, microwave,
dishwasher, pots, pans, dishes, and
flatware.
The tiled bathroom has a dressing area and separate
water closet with toilet and shower
(NO TUB) which opens onto a private enclosed deck
for hanging wet towels and bathing suits to dry. Bath
and beach towels are supplied.
The entire house is raised on 12-foot piers. This provides a 180 degree
view for whale (in season), dolphin, or boat watching. It does require,
however, that guests be able to climb 17 steps. Small children could be in
danger of falling should they climb on the railing.
Below is covered parking and a shared washing machine. We use a solar
drier (clothesline). There are beach chairs, straw mats, an ice chest, and
beach toys. Guests may use any of these. In the yard is a barbeque grill
and an extra outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
Free wireless Internet.

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 the
ruins of an old Russian fort guard the
rivermouth. Two miles to the east is Waimea
Town. Salt Pond is 9 miles, Poipu hotels about
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 4000 feet
below

.
There are few tourists here, but there are restaurants, grocery stores,
gas stations, a post office, the historic Waimea Theater, and a library in
Waimea. Guests must not be spooked by empty beaches! We live
close by. We won't invade your privacy, but we'd be happy to answer
any questions you may have.
