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
Outdoor and indoor dining options

Wonderful home.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is well stocked including beach toys. We missed that the beach in front of the home directly was not swimmable, and didn't consider how busy the road would be... But that's on US. There's a wonderful (magical) beach just down the road a quarter of a mile and this home has a ton of beach toys we had a blast with.Overall, wonderful experience on a different side of the island. GREATLY recommend these hosts.

Paradise!

Almost everything about this property was perfect if you aren't looking for big city life. The view is lovely, the beach down the road is awesome and the beds were comfortable.The sun can make the living room warm in the afternoon but if you remember to put down the porch shades before the afternoon heat, it helps. My only wishes were for more cushy living room furniture and less traffic on the road out front. But, I'd still rent here again in a heartbeat!

The absolute best

This home is by far the cleanest house we have ever stayed for vacation. Above and beyond in necessities. Where you think you might see a little dust, nope it’s not there. The cottage vibe is on point. Although if your in for the day it does get a little warm in the afternoon due to the open ceiling but we went outside and enjoyed the amazing views and the sounds of the crashing waves. The beds are extremely comfortable. We were a family of 5 and could have used a few more face towels but we managed. No need to buy laundry soap, toilet paper or paper towels and they even leave you an unopened sponge. Toiletries are provided and we were happy to see the varieties of coffee available. All the beach supplies you could think of. We also get quick responses from housekeeping and the manager. 5 stars for sure. The appreciation for the business really shows. Thank y’all so much!

Quiet town with beautiful sunsets.

We had a great time. The views are great. We were a little disappointed there isn’t much sandy beach around and none across the road from the house. The location is great for exploring Waimea canyon and the south side. It’s a drive and some traffic to get to the north side. The property owners were great to work with. We would stay here again.

Wonderful stay

The house was a perfect base camp for our adventures on this side of the island. We loved waking up and catching the sunrise with waves crashing against the rocks and watching the sunset from the nearby beach. The road noise/traffic was more than we expected but since we were gone most of the day, it didn’t bother us too much. The location was perfect for driving up for hikes at Koke’e State Park. I recommend taking road 550 up there (closer to the house than the main road and less winding and less traffic, plus 550 has sweet views). Breakfast at Gina’s was delicious, as were the snow cones at JoJo’s and tacos from Tiki Tacos. Can’t wait to come back!

Lots of extras such as spices, condiments, coffee, sweet n low, toilet paper, sunscreen etc. The view is amazing and listening to the waves crashing on the rocks in front of the House wonderful as well as the magical sunsets and being able to see more stars than I’ve ever seen.

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.
