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.
A short walk or bike to 15+ miles of nearly deserted white sand beach. Yes, just picture yourself in paradise. That's where you'll be when you enjoy an unforgettable vacation at 'Hale Kekaha', our only premium ocean front unit, just 26 miles from the Lihue Airport, and a world away from the maddening crowds. With an average annual rainfall of less than 20 inches, you can almost guarantee yourself a sunny vacation... regardless of the time of the year. Why gamble with your vacation, by staying on the North Shore, where rain can be all too common? Swimming, surfing, sunbathing, watching the sunset whatever your pleasure, you'll find yourself living a dream as you marvel that anyplace on earth can be so perfect.
This non-smoking plantation style unit is located near Waimea Canyon (the Grand Canyon of the Pacific) and Barking Sands Beach, with convenient access to restaurants, movie theater, shops, markets, and the famous Jo-Jo's shave ice. The condo-style unit has been recently remodeled and redecorated by a well known designer, and is loaded with amenities that will make you feel instantly at home. Quality furniture and linens, tile floors, and lots of windows to take in that view. One bedroom has a king bed, and the second bedroom has two double beds, which are much roomier than those standard twin beds you find elsewhere.
There is a gas BBQ to make it a pleasure to cook at home.
This is no tourist trap. There are no hotel resorts, no vendors hawking cheap souvenirs. Just an endless expanse of pristine beach and warm surf and spectacular sunsets, with friendly people who offer the 'spirit of aloha' with each greeting. It's like traveling back in time to the Hawaii of yesteryear, the perfect getaway from the cares of everyday life.
Swaying coconut palms, balmy breezes, sandy beaches, warm ocean water, and days of sunshine. All the ingredients for a perfect ocean side vacation in Kauai, at Hale Kekaha.

We wanted to decompress and just chill on the beach and in Waimea. This fit the above, from the online photos to the actual accommodations. Clean, well appointed and convenient

Gorgeous sunsets, and minutes' walk from a beach that stretches for miles—great for body surfing and boogie boarding in the winter months.

We enjoyed this property. It was clean and comfortable. Air conditioner is in the main bedroom so that is a little noisy at night but not bad and it cooled the unit properly. Two sandy beaches are very close and are beautiful beaches to spend the day. We enjoyed our stay.

I’m a former resident coming home to visit. Being from Kekaha, this was the perfect location! Place is super cute with ceiling fans throughout and an AC unit in the master. Had all the amenities I needed and was located right around the corner from my family and friends. Would definitely stay again!

Overall this was a great place to stay. It was clean and spacious and had the amenities we needed. Loved that it had beach towels and chairs, snorkeling equipment, sand toys and beach umbrellas. It was comfortable and very close to a beautiful, not crowded beach. We loved watching sunsets every night and eating outside. There is a highway right in front of the property with constant traffic, even throughout the night, which was not our favorite but overall a good place to stay.

The location of this place was amazing. Views of the beach across the street, close to hiking, beaches and the town of Waimea, comfortable beds, all made this a great place to stay when visiting the Southwest end of Kauai. We were a bit concerned about the proximity of the road but as it turned out it was no problem at all. We used it as our homebase for hiking and other activities on the south shore. A rare find for sure.
10.0
Nice and tidy place to stay for a week while visiting. Pros: spacious home, listen to and see the ocean, nice cookware and a good kitchen, very nice backyard area. Two cons: there’s is a main road in front, and you hear traffic it’s far away from other beaches and other areas of the island, so as long as you’re okay with driving to most restaurants or snorkel spots, this is a great pick.
8.0
The condo was very clean. There is a nice beach just up the road. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy ocean. There is road noise but you get used to it. We like the west side because it’s not developed. No big resorts. Just local businesses. Short drive to Port Allen for boat trips.
10.0
The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner most days. We loved staying across the street form the beach and enjoyed the sunsets most nights.

We liked it fine, didn’t really spend much time in it. Was a bit too far away from the nearest town. Clean & comfortable.

We stayed in Kekaha 20 years ago and again chose Kekaha for our 8 night stay in January 2024. This rental is ocean front. There is a 2 lane road between you and the ocean, but not a big deal for us. I listened for the nightly ocean and wave pounding instead of morning traffic. And the night sky is awesome, stars almost to the horizon. Mind you that the inshore water is tinted red from the Waimea River, but blue further out. We felt we got more bang for the buck in Kekaha which is away from the touristy Poipu, Kapaa, or Princeville. We did not want to be in a resort or a sea of condos. A huge, sandy beach is a 5 minute walk and sunsets everyday (beware currents). You will not find the crowds like at Poipu! The property hosts were available and courteous. The unit was as listed and the kitchen was outfitted with everything you need. Washer and dryer were great, internet was fine (if you have to work as we did), and the beds were comfortable. We did use the grill which was practically new and taken care of. We used the provided beach chairs and towels. Please note that there are no restaurants in Kekaha, but one the the local markets has good takeout. Wiamea has a very good grocery and several places to eat. Hanapepe Friday Art Night is a great event not to miss. If we go a third time, I would look at this property first. Aloha.

Wonderfull apartment with everything you need. We probably enjoyed the shower the most and the kitchen has everything needed - cooked a full Turkey dinner for Thanksgiving.
The location is absolutely fabulous and I enjoyed every morning the straight view to the ocean when opening the front door.
The whole fam would love to come back - maybe one day…

We loved the fact that it had everything we needed and the waves at night are such a relaxing touch to make you fall asleep faster.

We will definitely visit this home again on our next visit to Kekaha. The home is perfectly located 1/2 mile from our family and directly across the street from the beach - You can hear the waves crashing 24 hours a day and the view is heavenly. We had everything we needed.

This was an amazing getaway for my wife and I! It’s is so quiet and peaceful! The neighbors were great, the beach stuff was a great help and the ac unit in the bedroom was awesome! Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us to help us celebrate our anniversary! Mahalo!

Location is right across a long gorgeous beach. You do see the sunrise and sunset on this beach. Great open house set-up. The cart by the kitchen i rolled in front of the door so I can chop and watch the Ocean. Great place to stay if you have family. Scott was very responsive and accommodating. Place was clean.
Thank you!

We both really enjoyed staying here! Very clean. The road noise wasn’t a problem at all for us because there isn’t that much traffic. We loved being right on the ocean. Heard the waves crashing a lot. Soothing. It is on a quiet area of the island. The bed was comfortable and we were so glad the owner had beach things available; chairs, towels, noodles, snorkeling things. All of that came in very handy! Waimea State Park was close by and we attended church at Waimea Baptist Church. Friendly congregation. We would recommend this place!

Very nice property. Road noise, but the ocean is great and beach for miles with few people.

We have had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. It is well stocked, very clean and comfortable. You can’t beat the view from the spacious covered lanai. It’s so nice to fall asleep at night, listening to the sound of the waves. Best VRBO experience on Kauai.
6.0
There is a highway between the house and the beach with traffic noise 24/7.
Inadequate cooking/kitchen equipment/supplies
Poor lighting and 3 burned out bulbs in kitchen/living room area
Constant road noise; need window a/c unit turned on constantly to lessen the impact from traffic noise
Good access to great beach
Nice grill
Bedroom door into bathroom needs to be planed so it shuts more easily
Dryer keeps popping the breaker so it’s unusable
10.0
This was the absolute perfect location for our family of four! Falling asleep to the sound of the waves every night. Yes, there is noise from the highway, but you just need to look and listen beyond that. It's a very easy walk to Kekaha Beach Park which is amazing for walking, running, a little swimming/boogey boarding, and sunbathing. We really enjoyed this quiet side of the island, being able to walk or bike to convenience stores and the fruit stand, and it's a very short drive to restaurants in Waimea.
It had plenty of space for four adults and the beds and linens are very comfortable. We did not use the A/C, just opened the windows as this area feels very safe. The kitchen is well-equipped with cooking utensils, but there are no pantry staples like oil, salt, pepper, etc. Therefore heating up and cooking store-bought items is totally doable, but you would need to purchase a lot to really prepare a meal. Again, this worked great for our family, but just letting others know! I would guess that food spoils quite easily in the Hawaiian climate, and that is likely why they can't keep a pantry as some other VRBO's do.
Overall, a wonderful stay, Scott was an amazing host and very communicative. Checkin and checkout were totally seamless as well as all of the information he gave us prior to arriving!
10.0
What a lovely time spent on the west side of Kauai & and in a waterfront condo in Kekaha, to boot! The birdsong, ocean waves and sunsets reminded us to just be. And it was easy to "be" in this space. Everything we needed was available and at hand. Grounds and condo were very clean and well kept. Worries were left on the mainland...at least for a couple weeks in Dec :) We were able to take in a local festival, take daily walks to greet the morning, and say good night to the sun while sipping wine from the patio. Thank you for sharing this wonderful space with us, and we hope others will find the same joy as we did.

The check in and check out process was seamless. The house was clean and just the right size for our party of four. Walking access to Barking Sands beach. Loved the ocean front view. Such a great stay!!
10.0
Extremely quiet and peaceful with extraordinary views. Very easy to find and access the key. There is a blender and toaster included in the stocked kitchen. The front porch was used every morning and evening. As mentioned the guest bedroom gets very warm even with a fan but the master bedroom is very cool with a/c. We were so appreciative of the beach chairs and towels. There were bikes but one was flat and broke when my husband attempted to pump it up. We reached out and received a text but the bike was not fixed during our stay…definitely not a deal breaker. We have stayed in PoiPu twice but not again. If you are looking for a truly relaxing getaway that is not a tourist spot, don’t hesitate to stay here. The road traffic never bothered us once and the stars at night will knock your flip flops off.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! The place was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, and it was just a comfortable place to come back to each night. Having the use of the beach chairs and also a laundry room were really helpful and a great convenience. The sunsets each night, hearing the ocean waves, and being on the quiet side of the island gave us another wonderful aspect to our time in Kauai! Truly a great place! Highly recommend!

We spent 5 days here relaxing and working from home. The house is very comfortable, ocean just across the street, and beach a 5 min walk away. Look out in your email for the check-in info, it is not in the app

incredible location, incredible vibes
My family and I had an amazing time in Hawaii at this property!! We were steps away from the beach, and the front patio was to die for. The inside was just as relaxing, with all the amenities you need, as well as surprise things like beach chairs, sand toys, bikes, and even more. Cannot recommend this place enough!!

Enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful property! The condo was cute and had everything we needed. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Quiet neighborhood across the road from the ocean. The road can get busy but it certainly wasn’t a bother. The air conditioner is only a window unit in the master bedroom and it was a bit noisy. There are a lot of things for the beach in the garage which was really nice. Two markets and a few restaurants are a only minutes away as is a nice beach. Would highly recommend!

Perfect for a family vacation
We love Kauai and decided to try out a vacation rental this time, rather than a hotel. Definitely pleased with our decision! This cute and comfortable rental provided everything we needed and then some, including lots of beach gear and toys. It was so nice having breakfast with a view of the ocean each morning and listening to the waves at night. It’s a little farther out from some of the main attractions, but it was that quietness we were looking for. Only complaints would be the lack of AC in the second bedroom and some traffic noise from the road, but those were not deal breakers at all. Truly enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful Kekaha
We had a wonderful 11 days here enjoying the beach, the sunsets, the space in front and back of the condo. Being in our 70's we liked being on the main floor with no one above. There were beach chairs and other beach equipment in the garage for use by any of the tenants. I think there are only 3 or 4 units here. The one beach umbrella was broken, but that was fine with us. The road in front was busier than we thought it would be given the location of the cottage. Since we were out hiking or walking the beach so much it was not that much of a problem. The air conditioner is a single window unit in the the master bedroom. It is very old and very noisy. We turned it on during the day when we weren't there and just opened windows for the evenings and nights. Lots of silverware and dishes, etc. All the appliances worked fine. We would recommend this place and overall gave it four stars. PS: Arrive before dark, very hard to find on our first night. Enjoy!!

nice
Had a nice time and would recommend it unless you're hot natured. We did fine with the overhead ceiling fans. There was a brand new little window air conditioner in the bedroom, but couldn't sleep with it on as it cycled off and on all night. I liked opening the window and listening to the ocean instead. Cindy was a help when I had problems with the washer. Enjoyed our stay on the less busy part of the island. For those that want to save some money, go to Big Save in Waimea and get the hot plate lunch. It was huge and enough for the two of us to share for dinner. Go early at lunch time and bring it back to put in the frig. The cost averaged about $9 for it.
It was nice to have the use of the beach chairs, also.

Look out the windows and watch the waves
Nice 2 bedroom condo directly across the street from the ocean...beautiful view. Comes complete with bikes, coolers, ocean toys, chairs, etc. Washer and dryer. We had a small problem that the host took care of immediately...very responsive and easy to deal with. A great time overall.

A little bit of Heaven…a lot of Aloha!
Excellent choice for location & you have everything we needed. Beds were so comfy & clean with no bugs and it made me feel at home. The sunset that first night was absolutely breathtaking and so were the sunrises. Thank you for making our days there so enjoyable. We will be back!

Kauai Trip
Very clean, well maintained property. Beautiful sunsets, beach very convenient. Kauai businesses (at least near where we stayed) was a little slow. By that I mean there were limited hours, and limited businesses open, I assume relating to the pandemic impact?
We enjoyed the Canyon park. We did discover quickly that the highway that runs in front of the property is pretty active, and the road noise is quite noticeable. Later in the evening the road noise would reduce a fair amount and the ocean waves were very nice.

The view!
Our first time staying on the west side…will definitely be back! The view from this little house is AMAZING. It’s small but worked for two adults and one kid. We purchased food at the grocery store on our way in and a weeks worth barely fit in the fridge. It’s a small one. So just a heads up!
There is no dishwasher, but that was fine to just wash as we go. The washer and dryer is shared and in the garage, we didn’t have a problem with using it.
There were tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and coolers, so nice to have! Especially the umbrellas since it get really warm and there is no shade on the big beach across the street.
The beach is about a 10 minute walk and was perfect for wave jumping and lounging.
As others have mentioned this house is in a residential area with no hotels, restaurants or grocery store. The closest is about 10 minutes away (which is totally fine for us).
We really enjoyed the laid back vibe and taking morning runs along the road out front.
The road is busy starting first thing in the morning…so you will hear cars drive by (fast too) but if you can look past that (we eventually tuned them out) then this place is for you.
Thanks for sharing your vacation rental with us!
