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.

The property has a lot of potential but it needs to be upgraded, specifically the floors, baths, and kitchen. The location is in the outskirts of Waimea, the surrounding communities are populated by locals which provide an opportunity to see how they live and how this area differs from the more touristy sections of the island. With a little TLC, this property will be fabulous as the view of the pacific ocean from the second level is spectacular. The property comes with all beach accessories and has AC in all rooms except bathrooms. We recommend providing more beach towels, we only had 4. Keenan the maintenance man was very responsive when we found some issues upon arrival related to plumbing, etc. Overall we had a good time at this home which could have been enhanced if the property is modernized.

1st impression as we walked into the cottage was WOW!
The sunsets from the deck were spectacular! The cottage was well furnished from the towels to the well supplied kitchen.
Waking each morning to the sound of the ocean was so relaxing and exactly what we needed. We frequented the little sundry store at PMRF base and ate and watched the sunset from Shenanigans restaurant.
Other activities were renting e-bikes, catamaran sunset dinner cruise, mountain tubing and just hanging out.
Note: the sliding doors facing the ocean are very hard to open WD40 did not work.
We would stay here again.

This was a GREAT beach house. Kekaha beach is very uncrowded and a 5 minute walk or 1 minute drive from the house. There is some morning and afternoon traffic on the highway in front of the house, but it didn't keep us awake at night. We all loved the open floor plan. It was so nice to watch the ocean waves crash on the rocks from the porch. We really wanted a rental way from the main tourist areas and this place certainly was that!!!

Great location except for the busy road in front across from the beach. Air conditioning is terrible.
TV in bedroom never was fixed. Needs lots of TLC

We loved our time here...everything a beach house should be....your home away from home! If you are looking for a laid back and relaxing, small town, friendly area, with beautiful views.....this is the place for you!
The view off the lanai was amazing, a great way to start your morning, have a cup of coffee and watching the waves crashing. The house is right down from a local beach, no crowds which we loved, coming from Dallas, this was refreshing!
Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of God's creation with us!

This beachfront bungalow has it all! The views from the front lanai to the palm trees out the sides. Quick walk and you are to Kekeha Beach, which is now in my top 3 beaches!!! You won’t be disappointed with this property, Thank You for sharing.

Love the true Hawaiian bungalow with all the amenities you might want. Style and history. Koke'e trip is faster from there. Amazing views of sunset and Ni'ihau! Great flexible space.
January 2024
We had a bit of difficulty finding it in the dark. The place was perfect for our family. Very spacious and well equipped. Beautiful views and relaxing spaces. A little far from most of the action on the island but also pretty peaceful. Would stay again.

Our family had just an amazing time at this location. The owner was super responsive to our questions. I would suggest to plan a couple activities where you are back at the location for sunset where you can sit on the lanei. The view is outstanding and if you walk down the road a bit there is a beach to play on. This house was just perfect for our family as my oldest (21) had her own room, my youngest at (15) had his, and we had our own space. We loved the fully stocked with supplies kitchen. We ate breakfast here a lot. We stopped at Costco on way in the first night. The Big Save we went to the next day. Having a washer and dryer was fantastic. The living room was set up well so we could watch tv if we all wanted but also sit at dinning room table and chat into living room or look at ocean. I think after driving the island this is the best spot we could have chosen. We like the location of activities and will stay here again when we come back to visit. Cons were very few - the sound of oceans crashing on the rocks the first night was really loud but it’s just that I didn’t know what it was and now I will miss that sound so much, it’s on a main road so cars do pass but no traffic jams just a nice flow, the shower in the master is a step up and out but if you prefer you can use the other bathroom because there are 2 bathrooms on this property which was also a major plus for this family.
Highlights of island spots for us: Lydgate chocolate tours, driving up Waimea canyon all

Great location especially for a sunset. The area was quiet and safe. Must have a car to get to larger grocery store and all restaurants. During our stay, there is no visible beach in front of the house. Walked a half mile to the beach but road was safe. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

My family enjoyed this beautiful home and this heavenly island! The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks across the street lulled us to sleep at night, and the roosters were our alarm clock. This was our second trip to Kauai but our first time exploring the southern coast - we can't wait to come back again!
The beach house was tidy and well-stocked. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and even beach toys for the kids were all available. It was like a home away from home.

We loved being across the street from the roaring sound of the ocean waves, crashing onto the rock wall. We sat out on the deck at night just to hear that sound. So awesome! We only stayed here at night because we were gone all day seeing the island and exploring. Just a suggestion to future renters: go find this house while it's still daylight out. We got there late at night and it was a little hard to find. Lol. But no worries once we found it. Kauai island is one of the most beautiful places on earth and we hope to visit again someday.

My nephew lives two streets away and we were attending his wedding. This property was extremely clean. They had window a/c units in the two bedrooms and two in the main living area. We enjoyed the front porch watching the waves crash and the boating activity. The kitchen was well appointed. It was a lovely stay and communication with Scott was great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone. You will enjoy yourselves..

Wonderful ocean view on elevated wraparound porch… great location to attractions at NaPali, Waimea Canyon, Polihale Beach, Hanapepe, Salt Pond Beach etc.
The property is spacious and capable of supporting family of 6. Great Room has ocean views and full kitchen. Bedrooms and baths are well equipped. Owner provides beach accessories which is fantastic.
HVAC is provided by window units and could be improved but does the job well at night.
Management is responsive and communicates well.
Overall we had great stay and would stay again.

The property did have air conditioning BUT it was indicated in the description that they were window units and a free standing. It was miserable 80’s in the living room beginning mid afternoon. So much so that we couldn’t do any cooking since it would heat up the kitchen/living area even more.

Loved it. The best rental house I have been in on Hawaii. Thank you for a great stay!
March 2023
This place was fantastic. My family and I enjoyed it so much. Extremely spacious, sleeps 6 people VERY comfortably. We were able to see whales from the front deck while enjoying morning coffee. Very close to town and the closest place you can basically stay to a beach that directly abuts the south side of the Na pali coast. Additionally, very close to the mountains to get to Waimea canyon. A little tricky to find driving up but if you do it in the daylight unlike us you will be fine.

Absolutely loved the view of the ocean from the house. Loved listening to the ocean as I slept. The beach where can swim is about 5 minute walk from the house and is stunning length of soft sand. Felt like had it to ourselves. I personally thought it was one of the best beaches on the island. There are boogie boards, snorkeling gear, other beach toys at the house and we had an awesome time in the ocean with those. Would definitely stay here again. Felt blessed to have found this home. Thank you and so grateful.

We celebrated an 18th and 16th birthday with our daughters on this trip. We had plenty of space, beautiful long beach and it was nearly empty so we were able to have many gorgeous walks and pictures. Sunsets are gorgeous and you can hear the waves crashing in. Would def stay there again 🌈

We had a terrific trip and were very happy to have booked this property. 2 adults traveling with our 12-yr-old daughter, stayed 11 nights in mid July. Hosts were prompt & thorough with pre-checkin info as well as with q&a of local area prior to trip. The house was very clean and ready for us upon arrival. We only had 1 minor maintenance issue during stay and the local on-call maintenance man had it fixed within the hour.
The location was perfect for a family trip (quiet local neighborhood with many permanent residents / non-touristy area) with literally 1 min 30 sec drive north to public beach w/ lifeguards, 15 -20 min drive south to Salt Pond Beach (snorkel / boogie board beach with lifeguards). Only 5 min drive to local restaurants/shops/grocery (no national / commercial chain restaurants/stores in town but those options avail 20 min+).
Kitchen is fully stocked pots/pans etc., and we made majority of our meals right at the house with local groceries, and enjoyed the front row ocean views during meals. Gas grill on the lanai was very handy as well to grill up fish & lobster tails. Some beach chairs/boogie boards/masks/fins provided by house!
We had the good fortune to meet many nice local residents, including Allen (older gentleman who does the lawn and grounds maintenance) who took his own time after work to introduce us to some of his local friends who have horses / goats / sheep after learning of our daughter’s interest in animals. Many great local shops and food stands to support the local economy. We did a boat / snorkel tour that was only 20-30 min from house.
FYI’s regarding house / location. For travelers desiring 24-7 low temp AC (maybe Hawaii in July not your best bet to begin with) but… main portion of this house (open layout Kitchen/dining/liv room/ and the main bathroom & queen bedroom) all get a warm (mid -high 70’s) in afternoon despite two ac units covering this section of house (queen bedroom and main bathroom have no AC units). Ceiling fans in all rooms kept air circulating nicely. The 2 back bedrooms (master and guest) stay very cool 24-7 with window ac units. Also, this location will require drive time to reach East or North parts of Island. You cannot drive the full perimeter of island so will backtrack south, which keeps this neighborhood quiet/less traffic, but will require time to reach east/north areas.
Overall excellent property and we hope to return to this property again! Highly recommend!!

This is a spacious comfortable home near the beach and Waimea Canyon. Loved the lanai! There is a lot of traffic on the road out front. We did have an issue with internet but property manager found a work around for us! Would recommend!
July 2022
We loved the house. It was exactly as described, with good kitchen equipments and a lot of beach gears, all sizes!! Even during hot weather, the house stayed cold with the air conditioning. The beach is very closed and with really few people, not like the crowded beaches in Poi’pu. The house was pretty big. We were a family of 5 and there was definitely enough space for all of us. At night and during the day, the area was really calm. The house is also well positioned, between the beaches and close to Waimea canyon.
We’ll come back for our next trip to Kauai!!

Perfect for relaxing to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore; Beautiful views; Great value for our Hawaii vacation.
We began planning our trip for April of 2020, and finally got to go in February of 2022. 5 friends fit comfortably in this spacious home. The lanai provided a perfect spot to begin and end each day. We appreciated the ample supply of beach and snorkel gear provided.

The unit was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything necessary for a long stay and all instructions were very clear. Nice ac in the bedrooms and living room. Fantastic array of beach stuff provided—multiple beach chairs and umbrellas and enough snorkel and flotation gear for a small army. The only drawback was the street in front of the house was nearly always busy, but the wonderful view from inside made this a minor issue.

The house was in such a great location. Since it was on the west side of the island, we were able to see some spectacular sunsets from the porch and from Kekaha beach, just about one hundred yards away. The home itself was amazing as well. Nice wrap around deck with palm trees lining the property. We utilized the beach chairs and snorkel gear almost every day. While we only used the grill once, it was clean and a nice option to have. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely well appointed historic style cottage with all you might need for your relaxed west side vacation. Great selection of beach chairs, towels etc. Sunsets from the lanai overlooking Ni'ihau and can see whales from the lanai. Close to early visits to Koke'e is a wonderful advantage over the rest of the crowds. Great location to go to Port Allen for cruises or restaurants. Polihale trip is closer from here and it takes a while to drive the dirt road. Poipu only 20 minutes away. WONDERFUL!! Mahalo!

This house was perfect for our family of 5! There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai and you can hear the ocean at night. It was very spacious and we never felt crowded. Great kitchen with plenty of pots & pans, and we used the grill almost every day. Huge bonus was the cupboard on the lanai with tons of snorkeling gear, water shoes, boogie boards and other beach gear. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

The beach house is spacious and the king size bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, we had so much rain that our family on the mainland contacted us to make sure we were ok! There was quite a bit of traffic from early to late, so much so that we kept wondering where all these people were going, as the end of the road is not far! Easy walk to Kekaha Beach is a plus! We would stay here again!

Great house for a family. Perfect evening sunsets, lots of beach gear and a well stocked kitchen. Close to Waimea Canyon if you want to hike. We struggled finding restaurants closeby and did have to drive a bit but we were on island time so it was all good. Will definitely stay here again!

Our family spend 5 nights in this beautiful cottage. If you want to get away from the bustling, touristy areas, this is an ideal location! Authentic, residential area with very friendly people, and you can have the beautiful beach - which is a few minute walk - to yourself. The house is spacious, well equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. Highly recommend it.

Our first trip to Hawaii and it did not disappoint! The home was beautiful, clean, and right across the street from the ocean! The renters were easy to reach and got back to me in a timely manner! They provided us with information around the island, such as things to do, places to eat! It was wonderful! I would highly recommend staying here to friends and family! If we ever make it back we’d definitely want to stay here again!

When we booked I was looking for seclusion and lots of sand. The location delivered, being a 5 minute walk from miles of beach. The house was perfect for our family of five: clean, spacious enough, and great for meals at "home". Only negative was that it got pretty warm in the house every afternoon and AC struggled to keep up.

This house was perfect for our family of five. It was clean, roomy and a great location. Some early morning coffee on the beach kicked off the day for mom and dad while the kiddos slept in just across the street in their comfy beds.
Then we usually got out of the house for a pretty drive up the canyon, some snorkeling or boogie board time. The house has a great stockpile of beach gear, fins, chairs and a cooler. Every detail was looked after and we wanted for nothing.
We'd love to come stay here again! The host was welcoming and communicative and the house was just right.
Thanks for having us!
