Diversity earns Kauai it star quality for travelers from all over the world. Hawaii’s only navigable rivers are here as is the Waimea Canyon, dubbed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific by Mark Twain. And it’s not very hard to find a beautiful white sand beach as Kauai has more beaches per mile (43) than any other Hawaiian island.
Hideaway Cove's air conditioned one bedroom villa is located on a half acre of lush tropical landscaping, a short five minute walk to the white sands of Poipu Beach. We also have studio, 1, 2, 3 & 5 bedroom villas available in this same lush landscaping. Please see our other vrbo listings and our website for more details.
With only three percent of its land mass developed, Kauai is what many envision as the “old” Hawaii before development began. To enjoy Kauai to its fullest, stay with us in Poipu on the south shore. Unlike the north shore with 165 inches of rain, we've got moderate temperatures year round and less than 25 inches of rain.
While staying with us you'll enjoy wireless high speed internet access property wide. Gale, who has been in the activity business for 20 years is available to help with everything from booking activities to restaurant reservations plus snorkel gear and boogie board rentals. A separate computer is available in our office for you to check emails and print boarding passes.
We don't post an availability calendar because we will gladly upgrade you into a larger unit if a smaller one shouldn't be available. Just email or call us toll free and we'll be happy to let you know which units are available for your dates.
Are you planning to go for a hike, kayak down a fresh water river or in the ocean, zip-line through the trees, go horseback riding, play golf on championship courses, go snorkeling or scuba diving, see the awe inspiring Napali coastline on a dinner cruise at sunset, or just relax on beautiful white sands?
There’s something for everyone on Kauai, whether you’re seeking activity or solitude. Come discover the beauty of our unspoiled garden island.
This is the ninth year we've been welcoming guests to Hideaway Cove. We hope you see you in the near future.
Aloha from Kauai,
Herb and Gale Lee

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We have both travelled extensively and talked about owning vacation rentals that had everything in them that we wished for in the places we've stayed. Most important to us was a very good bed with high quality linens and towels plus quality furnishings. We both enjoy cooking and wanted our kitchens to have granite counters for easy cleaning and ceramic top stoves for the same reason. Jacuzzi or deep soak tubs and walk in showers and granite counters turn what could be a ordinary baths into something extraordinary. cleanliness.
When Herb first moved to Kauai he rented what is now our Aloha Two Bedroom, Two Bath and became fast friends with the owners, Dick and Donna Page. And when they decided to sell the building next door, Herb was the first person they asked. Initially the building had long term rental tenents and we converted it into vacation rentals nine years ago.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Due to the high cost of electricity, very few of the vacation rentals on Kauai are air conditioned. We decided to add air conditioning to stand out from the crowd. For the same reason, we added an office and large guest laundry room on property, in space which had originally been planned as a studio accommodation. We even have the deep soak tub, four poster bed and name plate to go outside the door to prove it. Having an office allows us to give our guests a very high level of service. We are also very attentive to even the smallest details,personally inspecting our units frequently for cleanliness and wear and tear. We are constantly upgrading everything on property including barbecues, furniture, beds (two new king beds added recently)and kitchen appliances and "tools". We work very hard to provide a high quality guest experience which we beleive is the key to our success and the reason our guests come back year after year.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
Gale owned a glass bottom boat when she first came to Kauai. As the business grew, activity desks were leased to ensure a steady flow of customers for the boat. When Gale had the second happiest day of her business life (she sold the boat), the desks remained and Gale was then in the activity desk business as Kauai Vacation Helpers. She often jokes that one of the "worst" parts of her job is having to test out all the activities to make sure they're o.k. for our guests.
Herb's been in the residential real estate business since he first got his license in Huntington Beach, California. Sixteen years ago, Herb was recruited by a friend to work as Director of Marketing for a resort on Kauai, and has been here every since. Since leaving the resort nine years ago, Herb has been actively involved in Hideaway Cove doing marketing, designing websites Hideaway Cove and Kauai Vacation Helpers, blogging and writing our newsletter "FYI Kauai".
