About this property

Private, Comfortable and Cozy with Distant Ocean and Mountain Views

Boulay Inn is nestled on Kauai’s south side in rural Omao. It is your own secluded home away from home with all the amenities to ensure your comfort. There is a spacious airy living area, a queen sized bed, tiled shower and a verdant yard outside your windows. Your accommodations are airy and comfortable with a combination of ceiling fans and sliding glass doors. We have tried to think of everything you might possibly need for your island home. Cooking facilities, entertainment center, including cable TV and Wifi are all available. No need to lug your hair dryer, there is one in your bath. A washer and dryer are provided because we don’t want you to spend any of your Hawaiian vacation in a laundromat.

Omao (meaning green in Hawaiian) is a convenient hub for all east, west, and south shore activities. Sunny Poipu Beach is just minutes away with swimming beaches and all sorts of water sports such as snorkeling, diving, surfing, boogie or stand up boarding. We have most beach accessories for your convenience, including beach towels, chairs, cooler, boogie boards, and snorkel gear. Remember to bring your sunscreen.

If golf is your game, choose from three beautiful courses within a fifteen minute drive.

Old Koloa Town, Poipu and the surrounding area abound with dining and shopping choices. There are over thirty restaurants within a ten minute drive and several areas with "lots of different kinds of shops". Koloa town has two grocery stores, a pharmacy and a bank. You won’t have to go far to find what you need.

Please do contact us for more specifics on the space that will be available for you.

Our stay at the boulay inn was amazing. Sharon was an amazing host and very friendly. The inn was in the absolute best spot. The beach and activities were not too far away and was easily accessible. Sharon was very friendly, gave good recommendations, and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Highly satisfied and hopefully will be returning soon!

Perfect vacation spot in Kauai

We have been more than pleased with our stay. The place is adorable, with so many special little touches and some sweet welcome gifts from the owners. It felt so safe that we did not feel the need to lock any doors when going outside. Everything of interest to us was an easy drive away. They also provided so much useful information about the island in their Welcome book. Sheri is such a sweetheart and a real pleasure to converse with. As an extra bonus, they provided all beach accessories like chairs, towels and snorkeling gear. We are very thankful to the owners for the lovely stay at their very special place and look forward to returning in the future. This is the place to stay if you are visiting Kauai.

Home away from home!

Boulay Inn lies in a quiet Koloa neighborhood, giving a realistic feel of what it would feel like to live here. The apartment is complete with one bedroom/bath, living room and full kitchen with refrigerator and stove. The owners thought of every amenity and provided it all. They even welcomed us with a beautiful pineapple, bag of Hawaiian coffee and cereal. Milk and sodas were in the fridge! Sheri and Jim were very friendly and welcoming; we felt like we were just friends visiting them. They even kept their garage door open so we could do a load of laundry! It was a lovely stay for us, most of the day we were out with all our activities, but it was a nice place to come “home” to!!

Off the grid Ohana

This is a small, cute space that is very well equipped in every way. What make this rental stand out were the hosts, Jim and Sheri who were very helpful for any of our needs. The location is a plus with quick access to the main highway going to Waimea and Lihue and only 15 minutes to Costco. It is in a local neighborhood on a county road so there is some road noise and dog barking. The views from the balcony are nice where there is enough space for drinks, snacks or a meal. Inside, there is an abundance of kitchen utensils, towels and condiments, the kitchen is functional. There is a counter with stools but no table. The hosts added a small table on the deck for us on request. The bedroom has lots of storage and closet space, the bathroom was nice, the medicine cabinet was full of goodies. Comfort wise there were a couple of issues that we brought up to the hosts who have since changed and improved those levels dramatically. Jim and Sheri are so nice and without a doubt their aim is to make your stay here perfect. Because of the comfort upgrades we are adding a 5th star to our rating.

Fantastic Stay!

We loved our stay at the Boulay Inn! The location was great. The neighborhood was nice and was relatively quiet, aside from the chickens, which is normal. Sheri and Jim were wonderful hosts and truly made us feel welcomed. This space was equipped with everything we needed from pots and pans to beach chairs, snorkel gear, and even a lunch tote to take to the beach!

Perfect week in paradise

It was a wonderful week that we were able to spend in this fantastic apartment. We felt safe and comfortable from the very first moment. The accommodation is in a great location and has everything you need and more. Sheri is a wonderful person. She kept asking us how our day was and always had something great to tell us. She knows the island very well and has great tips. We would have loved to stay longer, if we come back we will definitely book here again. We can highly recommend the accommodation.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Perfekt

Wir haben uns total wohl gefühlt, es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die Lage ist top. Da die Insel nicht so groß ist kommt man überall innerhalb von 1 h hin. Sharon und Jim sind sehr nette Gastgeber. Für den freundlichen Empfang sind wir sehr dankbar. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Wir konnten die Strandstühle benutzen und auch das Schnorchelzubehör. Strandtücher waren auch da. Es war wirklich grossartig.

Boulay Inn

Omao and the Boulay Inn is a Delightful rural spot with very gracious and understanding hosts. Easy access to all of Kauai. Boulay Inn is like home away from home …plus a friendly cat visitor. The delights of Kauai await you…major green sea turtles at Poipu beach. And even endangered Hawaian monk seals for you to find. Not to mention cool trade wind breezes wherever you go. This inn was the best spot we have found of our three visits. Many thanks to the owners.

Amazing guest house

This guest house has everything you could need. Comfy bed, TV, kitchen, shower/bath… everything. Great hosts, they were so friendly but still give you privacy. They really made us feel at home here. If you want a non tourist location, stay here!!! We spent so much time in koloa, which we may have not even realized all it had to offer if we didn’t stay here. If you’re on the fence - just book it! You won’t regret it

We had a fantastic time in Kauai. Sheri and Jim were wonderful hosts, the apartment was well stocked with everything you would need for your stay on the island.
