A show case DOME home now available for nightly rental. Where the NaPali meets the Waimea River. This studio with kitchenette is very quiet and very private and only for a select few. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this property offers a cloud like atmosphere, real Hawaii'ana, and it is as laid back and small town as it gets. New memory foam bed with very high thread count sheet. Sleep in peace like you have never slept before.
We are located just a few short miles from the base of the Waimea Canyon, also known as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" with it's ever changing hues and colors.
Enjoy the soothing sounds from "The Menehune Ditch" as it passes through the hollow lava cliff before ascending into a waterfall that feeds the live water pond just outside your front door. The tranquility of this valley radiates from the cliffs and from the river, you can almost hear echoes of voices from times gone by. Walk to the back of the property and relax by the river or hike up the river into the true back country. Or just lounge on the lanai enjoying the gentle flowing water, gazeing at the cliff while listening to birds of all kinds and the .
We are close to the most beautiful beaches on Kauai...Barking Sands and Polihale State Park, and you cannot beat the sunsets in the West. Only a few miles further up the road you will experience a birds eye view of the world famous NaPali Coast from Koke'e National Park.
A few short miles or less up the road brings you to the ruins of an old Russian Fort built when an unsuccessful attempt was made by the Russians to take control of Hawaii. And in the middle of Waimea Town you will see the site and the beach where Captain Cook landed and became, the first westerner to visit the Hawaiian Island.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
I fell in love with Kauai during my first vacation here in Dec 1999/Y2K. I decided to stay. I built my childhood dream dome in the back county where horses are not only common, they roam free, often stopping at my house to snack.
I made a movie of the building of this dome, there is a short version streaming on you tube just do a search for monolithic dome homes and you will see me!!

The Waimea Dome

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Dome. Our room faced a huge cliff full of nesting birds, which sang from early morning to evening. Beautiful! We loved being in a rural neighbourhood, on a dead-end road. Not your typical tourist spot at all, which was great. Even though the place is small and simple, we felt very happy there, with our extraordinary view of the cliffs, and the valley and mountains. Our hostess was so friendly and helpful, and gave us all the space and privacy we wanted. I highly recommend this place to adventuresome types, that like something unusual and imaginative. I'd go back there in a flash.
Owner response:I'm coming to check out YOUR Island!!!

Great location for hiking in the canyon. The unit was clean and pest free. The host of the propery is great and the fresh fruit wasexcellent. If you are looking for excitement this is not the place to come, it is quiet and secluded. If you are looking for a quiet spot to stage hikes from you could not ask for a better spot. The town is close by and there are some great places to eat or sit down and have a great cup of coffee. The place will not be for everyone, the kitchen is small but I did not find it to be an issue. I had read a previous post about the bed not up to snuff but I did not find that to be the case. All in all I had a very pleasant stay

Review Submitted: 06/20/11
It is a very quiet location that is located up a side street near the Waimea canyon. The space is small and the kitchen is really too small to cook anything. The front deck is comfortable and the bedroom is aesthetically pleasing; however, the bed is very uncomfortable. It is memory foam and has seen better days. The grounds are well manicured and Jo is great.
Owner response:The top grade memory foam bed is vey very new and used by less than a dozen guests.It has a comfort level that is adjustable from firm, medium to soft however guests with extreme physical issues may still need more.options. I wish my floatation tank was set up already, This may have been the answer to this guests personal needs.

This is a very special place. It's not for everyone, but if you're looking for somewhere quiet, unique, and off the beaten path, we highly recommend it. Two of us recently stayed here for 10 days and could not have asked for a better experience. Jo was a pleasure to deal with from the initial communication to her helpful and welcoming presence during our stay. (And we are SO IMPRESSED with everything she has done here; she is our new idol!) The location is gorgeous, the house clean, the bed comfy, and the Wi-Fi fast and reliable (sadly, we had to do a little work while visiting). Nature lovers will enjoy all the birds, stargazing from the porch, the river in the backyard, and the proximity to Waimea Canyon hiking trails. We can't wait to return!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
