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.

Enjoy unparalleled luxury in this amazing restored local style home in historic West Kauai. Here you will find a quiet walk back into time, with the best weather on the island. Less than 15 inches of rain, and sunny almost everyday, you can walk for miles on uncrowded white sand beaches. Glorious sunsets are seen all year round from only this part of Kauai.

Located at the foot of the Waimea Canyon, there is easy access to the many natural sights that has been called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Spectacular waterfalls cascade over vermillion cliffs into the Waimea River below. Explore the many sounds and sights, that nature has to offer, on countless trails for hiking. In less than 20 minutes, you can be up to the top of the mountains, where many of the hikes begin.

This wonderful, and upscale house was originally built in a bygone era. It was restored to the highest level of quality workmanship and design. It features hardwood floors, detailed trim, custom tiled baths, and a gourmet kitchen. Everything is new, with an emphasis on maintaining the integrity of the original design, including all custom made furntiure. A large covered rear lanai provides a sanctuary of quiet and calm, with lush plantings to provide privacy, and a genuine tropical feel. Here, you can dine alfresco in the shade of the late afternoon and evening. A new HOT TUB has been added for enjoyment and renewal, after a day of hiking and sightseeing. You will never want to leave your island home!

Inside you will find custom amenities rarely found in this price range. The furniture was custom made for comfort and island design. Every piece was selected by one of the island's famous interior designers to create the ultimate ambiance. The kitchen is a full size chef's delight, with everything you need, and could want, to create the perfect meal at home.
The bathrooms are fully tiled with walk in showers and pedestal sinks. The bedrooms feature comfortable beds with the highest quality linens. Thick thirsty towels await you after your shower.

There is cable TV, and high speed wireless internet, should you need to stay in touch with home or work. There is even a separate office/den, with a generous desk and work area.

The West Side of Kauai has the sunniest and warmest weather year round, and is characterized by it's unspoiled and uncrowded beaches. THIS IS NOT A RESORT AREA, but an opportunity to step back in time, into another era, in a sleepy town by the beach. People visit year, after year, once they discover the quiet and natural beauty.
The historic town of Waimea is only 3 miles away, providing grocery stores, restaurants, and even a restored cinema featuring current films.

Why spend your vacation taking a chance on rainy weather, which is often found on the north and east parts of the island. Come to Kekaha, where it is said: the West is BEST!

Stress-free experience

Our family of four had a a great stay here. The house was clean, beds comfortable and kitchen set up to enable cooking as often as we chose. Quiet neighborhood, private backyard, close to Waimea for local grocery store and restaurants. Easy location to make day trips to Kōloa, Poipu, Lihue, Wailua, Hanalei, etc. The Kekaha beach had the best waves for boogie boarding and it’s a 2 minute drive! Best spot for access to Waimea Canyon.

My spouse and I stayed here in early June to celebrate 20 years together. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing. We explored pretty much all of Kaua’i but also made sure to enjoy this house as well, which felt just like our private little oasis.Location is great: easy drives to SaltPond Beach, Poipu Beach (sea turtles) and even all the way north to Limahuli Garden and Preserve (a definite MUST SEE).We walked Kekaha Beach every evening to watch the sunset. The hot tub was amazing — we spent evenings in it, watching the stars and relaxing. We loved staying here and had an absolutely magical week on Kaua’i.
Sunset while walking Kekaha Beach, a very short walk from the house.

Living like a local

This home is restored beautifully and well maintained. Excellent communication and less than 5 minute walk to the beach. You are in the more rustic part of the island but if you want to get away and relax like a local this is it. Great restaurants and friendly people close by. 30-45 min drive to other beaches and resorts if you want to get a different view. The front porch and Lanai are also incredible.

So great we stayed here again

Can’t leave a better review than the fact we stayed here for 2 more weeks a couple years later. Really a great place, best property management team on the island (we’ve stayed in properties managed by them 5? times now), and for the beach and the mountain this is a spectacular location.

Second time renting

We have been in this home before, and looked no further when returning to Kaua’i. It was very clean and comfortable for us. I really like being able to park in our own driveway so close to the door. If we would be so blessed to return to Kaua’i in the future, this is where we would hope to stay. Aloha

The house was extremely nice and comfortable - just as presented in the pictures. The lanais at the front and back were very relaxing and where we spent most of our time. The house is in a lovely quiet neighborhood and was well stocked with all we needed for our stay. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Off the beaten path

Quiet, serene, virtually tourist free area. Easy, back road access to Waimea Canyon. A far cry from the hordes of Poipu and Koloa and the north shore. Went to Salt Pond beach every day for a swim after hiking. Kids loved the bigger but still manageable waves. Beds very comfortable, back yard and lanai lovely.

Christmas in Kekaha

We’ve been coming to Hawaii every other Christmas since 2011. This was the nicest rental property we’ve experienced. Very clean, well appointed, close to some great beaches, quick drive to Port Allen for excursions. The back lanai and yard feel secluded and peaceful even with neighbors on all sides.

The Best

I've stayed in many Air ***s and VRBOs, and this was the best. We didn't want to stay in the Poipu or Princeville areas, had no desire to stay again in a condo. This house is in a small town, easy access to beaches and the canyon. The back yard is lovely. The house was amazingly fitted and clean with everything we needed. Would stay again in a heartbeat! If youre looking for crowds and nightlife, then it's not for you. If not, its perfect.

Quiet, tucked away Kauai home!

We were very excited upon first impressions. The home was so clean and put together. The backyard is a perfect place to relax during the day or to hop in the hot tub at night. The amenities were exceptional and it was easy for us to feel at home.

Perfect home for your Kauai adventures

Lovely little home, comfortable beds with nice linens, really well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. We were only two but this would be absolutely perfect for 4 people as well as there are two full bathrooms and room for lounging and eating for four. Quiet neighborhood, a beach to watch the sunset walkable and only a few miles from the town. We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% consider staying again if we are back in south Kauai.

Our little cottage

Cute cottage with nice accommodations. Perfect location near Waimea Canyon and great for hikers. Quiet neighborhood. It was a little farther out of the way for us but still doable. We were disappointed that the gas grill propane tank was empty but we worked that out as well. Easy communication with proprietor. We enjoyed our stay. Mahalo

A quiet little oasis

We (me, my wife and 16yr old daughter) stayed here for 5 nights on our first trip to the Hawaiian Islands and we loved it! Now, it should be stated that this house is a good 30-40 minutes from Lihue so be prepared to spend some time in the car. But the trade off is getting away from all the busy touristy areas and just finding a quiet spot to relax. The whole property is very nicely updated. Both bedrooms and bathrooms well outfitted. The mini split A/C worked very well and was much appreciated. We like to cook and the kitchen gave us everything we needed to grab some fresh seafood, whip up a great dinner and sit on the back lanai to eat.And since I mentioned the back lanai, let me just say it was our go to hangout spot. Morning coffee, chilling in the afternoon between activities, dinner and drinks in the evening, whatever! That’s where we spent the majority of our stay. The backyard is completely private and secluded. We even had a couple neighborhood cats that would stroll through daily. They kept to themselves and so did we. And on one occasion, a fresh mango fell from the neighbor’s tree into our yard. Tasty!Again, if you don’t mind being a little ways from the action and are seeking quiet, this is a great option. Kaua’i is very chill and laid back and this property fits that vibe perfectly.

Everything we wanted/needed and MORE!

This little cottage was the perfect spot for my husband and I to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We loved everything about the layout of the home, the backyard and the amenities. We used the hot tub every night after our hiking days and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. If you want to truly get away and experience Kauai’s local scene, this is the spot! I hope to return someday. A magical place indeed.

Paradise!

My husband and I splurged for our 10 year wedding anniversary, and boy did we ever enjoy our stay in this wonderful home. Beautifully restored, the owners have put a lot of thought into it; very comfortable and truly felt like we were in our own mini paradise. The backyard was hands down our favorite place. The exotic sounds, hot tub, views, and overall feel of it was so lovely. Perfect place for a couple, 2 couples, or a family of 3 or 4. The entire island is truly magical, and staying in this home made it even more so.
