Be advised: This transient vacation rental property is located in a tsunami Evacuation Zone. Evacuation procedures are detailed in the rental agreement, as well as posted inside the house.

E Komo Mai and Welcome to the SUNNY west side of Kauai. With less than 15 inches of rain annually, and 15 miles of white sandy beach just a short walk away, why go anywhere else? Guarantee there will be “no rain on your parade” that can spoil your vacation.

Hale Ilima is an upscale beach cottage in the true sense of the word. It’s delightful island style architecture and design will delight you in every way. There are 3 generous size bedrooms with 2 baths. The high ceilings and abundant windows bring the light and the breezes in, to give it that tropical feel.
All new 500 ct. bed linens and thick towels await you. There is a King, Queen, and twin bedroom to accommodate every travelers needs. The twin room can be made into a King as well for couples traveling together.

A new 40’” LCD TV with cable, wireless internet, and free local and long distance calling are just some of the special features we offer.

Everything you need for a beach vacation is here from beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and umbrellas, and did I mention the ocean, sun, and surf? A short 5-minute walk to a lifeguarded beach insures your swimming safety. This begins a nearly deserted stretch of white sand that goes for miles…..all the way to the Na Pali Coast. Venture off to Polihale Beach, a wild natural beach, with majestic sand dunes serving as a backdrop.

Take a hike in the Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” as Mark Twain called it. Instead of driving for hours to get there from other parts of the island, you are only a mile away from the back road leading directly to the top of the canyon and the NaPali coast cliffs.

A stop at the Shrimp Station, or Island Tacos, for lunch will make the wait worthwhile, finished off with the island’s best sno cones at Jo-Jo Shave ice.

If it is a resort atmosphere and dining experience that you are looking for, you are only 25 minutes for the resort area of Poipu Beach. Here you will find world famous hotels, coves of white sand, upscale shopping and dining opportunities.
When your day is near an end, this is the ONLY place to be for SUNSET. From the comfort of your lanai, you can salute the end of the day with the sun setting out over the ocean. Can it get any better than this?

Come and enjoy life...as it should be... at the beach.

Some of the features:

Beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, and umbrellas
500 ct. luxury cotton linens
Plush thick bath towels
40' LCD TV with cable
Wi-Fi internet
Gas BBQ

Nice beach house, looks out over the water- comfy and clean. Host was flexible and great to work with! The actual beach was only about a 5 minute walk to an uncrowded beach. House has A/C window units but we really only used the bedroom ones at night.

Loved the house - it was outfitted with everything we could need. Quiet location away from tourist spots. Beautiful views from the front deck. The beach in front of the house was just rocks, so you had to walk down to Kekaha Beach Park to go to the beach.

This place is great! The host responded quickly and positively to all of our queries and requests. Including one regarding fragrance allergies. Thanks Scott! I was initially concerned about the nearness of the road and breakwater just beyond it but the easy walk to the lovely nearby beach more than made up for it. Be sure to visit nearby Hanapepe. A small art community. The swinging bridge is fun but so are the shops and people. The location is not central to Kauai tourist zones but day trips around the island are easy.

The view is the best part of this house! A short 10 minute walk and you are at the beach....we enjoyed wave jumping and lounging in the sand. The A/C in the house isn't super strong, but worked well enough for us. This side of the island gets super hot so you definitely need it. The house was fully stocked in the kitchen (I love it when people leave condiments, spices, zip lock bags), laundry soup, beach towels, and there were plenty of beach chairs/toys/umbrellas. No shampoo and conditioner though....so bring your own! There are no restaurants, shops, hotels in the area - so just an FYI for your food planning. We stopped at Costco and Safeway on our way in and bought all we needed.

This was actually our second stay at this home. We loved it so much the first time, we came back, and we plan to visit again next year! The pictures on the listing don't quite do it justice. It has had a few updates in the furnishings since those were taken. This house has everything you need for a great vacation. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, appliances and dishes. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinner on the lanai that overlooks the water. The view is pretty hard to beat! There are beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards and snorkeling gear that you can take to the beach, which is very conveniently located about 2 minutes drive or 10 minute walk from the house. There is also a really beautiful secluded beach that can be reached if you have 4WD, but sadly it was closed during this visit due to recent flooding (Polihale Beach). There is an outdoor shower below the lanai for washing the sand off when you get home from the beach. If you're a reader, like I am, don't miss out on the selection of books in the drawers below the living room television. Kekaha is a lovely little town, with far less tourists than Hanalei, Princeville, Lihue and Poipu so if you like a lowkey, slower pace, this is for you. Waimea provides several restaurants and a grocery store and is about 10 minutes drive. Waimea Canyon is also nearby and worth seeing. This is our home away from home and definitely worth a visit!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Worner

Host profile image
I have traveled all over the world, but home is on Oahu.

Why they chose this property

I lived in this town on Kauai as a young child, and always wanted to return to the place of my wonderful childhood memories.

What makes this property unique

Living at the beach in Kekaha is an authentic Hawaiian experience. This old sleepy plantation town is 'at the end of the road'. This is the farthest western town in the USA. It is also the driest and most likely sunny spot on the island.,
This is were a 15 mile stretch of white sand beach begins and ends, at Polihale Beach and the cliffs of the Na Pali Coast.
The town is also at the base of the Waimea Canyon, named the 'Canyon of the Pacific' by Mark Twain. Breathtaking canyon scenery and numerous hiking opportunities await you. Beautiful sunsets over the ocean can only be seen from this part of the island. Views of the island of Ni'ihau, and whale watching in the Winter season right from your lanai.
