The Kala Beach Cottage is an authentic Kekaha Sugar Plantation Managers Cottage. Lovingly restored with integrity by a professional interior designer, this cottage gives you the obvious sense of classic Hawaii living. Other amenities of this charming cottage include a private enclosed back yard and covered patio, giving the option for outdoor entertaining and/or sunbathing. Enjoy OCEAN VIEWS from the front lanai, and a brief 1 minute walk will take you to the ocean and stretches of sparkling white sand for 15 miles without a house. Here the reef comes onshore and provides protected pools for calm water and swimming. This is an ideal place for children to safely enjoy the water.
At the base, and within minutes of the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", the WAIMEA CANYON offers sunny cool weather which is ideal for hiking the many miles of trails through varied native forests and canyon views. You can hike to the cliffs of the NA PALI COAST, often reaching 4000 feet, and see spectacular views of the jagged shoreline and deeply carved valleys where the first Hawaiians lived.
Another option is a 5 mile drive to POLIHALE BEACH STATE PARK, where wide stretches of sand for up to seven miles meet the Na Pali Coast. Here you will find a beach, framed with dunes of up to 100 feet and some of the most beautiful blue water you will see in Hawaii. At end of the beach, near the Na Pali cliffs, you will find showers, bathrooms, and pavilions. This is the place to escape and dry out in the sun on those days where clouds and rain obscure the sun, especially on the north and east shores in the Winter. This is an uncrowded treasure for beach and nature lovers.
This is the sunny westside of Kauai, where rain rarely occurs, and sunny mornings with cobalt blue skies are common. Why gamble your vacation by staying on the North Shore, where rain is constantly replenishing the lush green forests, and sunny days can be infrequent in the Winter months?
Why stay at the Waimea Plantation Cottages, where a "garden view" cottage starts at $275 per night, when you can have the ultimate privacy of your own beach cottage within a few steps of white sand beaches that go on forever? This side of the island guarantees you an amazing end to each day, offering the opportunity to see a SIZZLING SUNSET over the Pacific Ocean. You may even see the "green flash"! This is a sweet spot that is affordable when compared to other Kekaha options.
Bring your sunscreen and an umbrella.... you will need it...... because the sun shines here!

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful rental in Kekaha last month. Your house was so lovely, truly you've done an impressive job. We had a blast! Actually got engaged right down the beach from your house :) So, special trip all round.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kala Cottage! It's such a cute place. We love stocking food from Ishihara and spend a whole day at Polihale so Kala Cottage couldn't be more convenient for us! Next time we visit Kauai, we definitely want to stay there again. Thanks! Tsumugi & Joel

What a lovely place! Being on this side of the island was great and while places as close as 10 miles away and north were rainy and stormy, at the Kala Cottage, I was able to be at the beach in dry weather! The neighborhood has a very 'local' feel to it and the neighbors were kind and extremely friendly and helpful. You got the benefits of being away from all the 'tourist' activities and crowds, but were close enough that if you did want that experience, it wasn't far away. The house was clean and the perfect size with everything that you could possibly need there. I am looking forward to going back to Kala Cottage!

What a charming little house! Beautifully restored plantation workers cottage in perfect condition. All the details were right, nicely furnished and very comfortable beds. Good kitchen, well supplied with tools, appliances and (matching!) dishes. One block from the Ocean, great sunsets. Tree full of oranges in the fenced in back yard. Interesting (and flat) residential area to walk around. The house sits across from the end/small parking area of a catholic primary school, so kind of noisy around 2pm, but who is home then anyway. Very sunny end of a rather rainy but beautiful island.

"We stayed at this lovely cottage in Kekaha for three weeks in June. Originally we'd intended to stay for only a week, but the accommodation was so lovely and private that one week, led to two and still we wanted to stay on for three. We were fortunate it continued to be available. We had rented a car through "Hotwire" on the internet. This was a good choice. Although the cottage had everything we could possibly need, the car made it possible to sightsee, grocery shop etc. The cottage was beautifully decorated, with earthy colors, a well equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings. Seafood was amazingly inexpensive at the local grocery store so we generally cooked dinners in. Most nights we watched a video or two that we borrowed from the extensive collection at the library. The flat screen T.V. was great and the library card was only $10. The tub was beautiful for baths and the shower fantastic. The water pressure was unbelievably good. The beds were very comfortable. We walked to the beach most evenings, taking the beach chairs provided and enjoyed lovely sunsets. Stores and amenities were close by including a public pool where we were able to swim laps for exercise, absolutely FREE. On one of the nights, we knocked a coconut from the tree in the back yard and learned how to open it for the juice and made drinks in the blender with the coconut meat. Quite an adventure. If we were ever to return to Hawaii, we absolutely for sure would plan to stay at this cottage again....Rosemary
