Welcome to Wailua Riverside Tree Top Cottage! This is a perfect place to experience the real Kauai - in a residential setting at the Wailua River. Wailua Riverside is a tree top cottage, newly furnished Hawaiiana style, fully equipped kitchen, master bedroom with queen bed, den with sofa sleeper a full size bed and the covered lanai offering outdoor dining.
***Trip Advisor***: "We just returned from five days at Wailua Riverside Hideaway... also known as... Kauai Calls! Set Your Heart Free... It is a delightful four room efficiency on the Wailua river, on the east coast of Kauai. Full kitchen, fantastic elevated covered lanai with enough room for 4 adults to dine. The place was squeeky clean, bright and airy to take advantage of the trades. Quiet, secluded and private, the lovely vacation rental has it's own carport, access to full size washer and dryer, and something you seldom see, a modern efficient air conditioner (but with the trades, you don't need it). You can even watch satelite TV if you just "can't let it go". There is a great collection of DVDs and VHS movies... and lots of books. Candace has provided every type of recreation equipment you might need for the beach or the river, including a two place Ocean Kayak, paddles and PFDs, and a small dock to launch right on the tranquil river. Everything is nearby and yet you hear nothing at night but an occasional gecko, rooster, or the soft soothing music of the distant waves in Wailua Bay. Lydgate park is less than five minutes and is the perfect place to introduce the ocean to your children. Calm, protected, warm waters with full lifeguard service, facilities and plenty of parking. A great place to walk or run in the mornings or evenings. Candace is a gracious hostess who allows you to be you. You have a completely private entrance, and yet she is available if you need her. She is the perfect kind of person to host such a place. She knows the island inside and out, real estate, culture, touristy stuff, and the best places to go. She is a transplanted kama aina who loves what she does. What a fantastic find after a couple horror stories on Kauai and other islands. My only concern is that too many other folks will discover this place and it will be hard to schedule. We are going back next year. Period. It is wonderful! Period."
Located at the Sacred Wailua River, where only the ancient Hawaiian Royalty were allowed to visit, Wailua Riverside is a two minute walk to an awesome eight-mile shoreline of uncrowded, sandy beaches. You are steps from a dock where you can launch your own Kayak onto the Wailua River to explore and hike to Secret Waterfalls, which has a natural swimming hole at its base. Water skiing, Wakeboarding, Speed Boating are also available from the same dock!
Centrally located for island exploration and also enjoy the many activities nearby: KAYAK INCLUDED!!! Hiking, Biking, Golf, Fishing, Wildlife Viewing, Horseback Riding, Shopping, Restaurants, Live Theater, Sightseeing, Swimming, Snorkeling/Diving, Boating, Sailing, Waterskiing, Surfing, Windsurfing, Parasailing, Jet Skiing, and Shelling.

Owner's Map of Other Wailua Properties
I have always known I would have a home on beautiful Kauai and dreamed of hosting guests who come to Kauai to fulfill their own life's dream. My favorite TV show when growing up was "Fantasy Island" and here I am. Over the past 6 years I have come to realize that all that guests who have stayed at Wailua Riverside Hideaway became family the moment they arrived. It is you the guests who are the true stars in this Fantasy Island called Kauai - I look forward to greeting / meeting you! Mahalo nui loa! Candace

Kauai Is So Very Special...

It's hard to put into words the feeling of being here in this amazing place. I guess it's called Aloha, but whatever it is, you certainly provide it here Candace! I could echo many previous guests' appreciations for all the comforts and conveniences of staying here: the library, the beach gear, the dock. Everything felt so easy and perfect. You and your boys - Meow! are wonderful hosts! Kauai is so very special I feel so fortunate for our time here! Mahalo Aloha until we meet again...

So sad to be leaving the warmth and beauty of Kauai...only to return to the cold and beauty of North Idaho! We loved every minute of our stay here, especially this lovely place here so centrally located to takin in most of the island. Mahalo Candace! We packed in as much as we could in the 9 days here - could have used at least another 9 days! Highlights of our trip included: swimming with sea turtles and fishes at Tunnels Beach, exploring Mahaulepu beaches, Kokee Park and the unbeliveable vists overlooking Na Pali Coast, Larsens Beach. We will return someday - hopefully sooner than later! Aloha

Dear Candace, Thank you for porviding a sweet hideaway. Everything here was perfect for our week's stay. Having all the beach equipment and the kayaking gear was WONDERFUL. Mahalo from the bottom of our hearts! To the next lucky guests: You are so fortunate to have that kayak! The trip upriver and subsequent hike to the falls is spectacular. This time of year, you will have a big stream crossing - hold tight to the rope and do not cross your feet. Swim at the falls! Snorkeling is great at Tunnels and KEE Beaches, get there early for parking. Boogie boarding was best at Brennecke Beach. There and Poipu are also the best places for sea turtles. Waimea Canyon was pretty, but if you are planning any hiking, be prepared for very slippery mud and rocks. We did not make it to the swamp due to the mud. But for sight seeing, it is beautiful. If you are an early morning walker or runner, the path down at Lydgate Park is very nice, as is the paved path just north of here at Anahola. We did hike to Hanakapi Falls from the Kalalau Trail. I wish we could recomment it, but even for every avid hikers like us, we just were not overwhelmed by it. You have to spend almost the entire time compleely focused on your feet due to the muddy rocky unstable trail, that you miss the scenery and end up witha sore neck! The falls are pretty, we did not swim - too cold and cranky. Food & Treats we like: Jo-Jos Shave Ice in Waimea; Papalani Gelato in Poipu; Fish Express in Lihue; Marks Place in Lihue; Korean BBQ Kinipopo Plaza, just north of here; Passion Cafe Kinipopo Plaza and opens early for breakfast; Harleys Tropical BBQ Coconut Marketplace. Lastly, we loved the kitties, and we probably spoiled Bo. He plinked the screen on the deck early every morning to be let in. Our last few nights, he slept on the bed with us. He would run up the stairs with us each evening when we returned for the day. Lenny also visited upstairs a few times. We sure hope the next folks like cats! Have a wonderful stay!

What a fabulous start to our Honeymoon! The leis that you welcomed us with are beautiful! Mahalo! We have felt completely at home here at your tree top cottage. We finally ventured out on the river today Sunday on the Kayak and were practically alone. We saw some amazing birds, frogs and some wild pigs on our adventure. We will definitely tell our friends about your place here and hope to be back ourselves. Thank you Candace! Much Love

The 'Aloha Spirit' comes in many forms. It was all encompassing on my recent visit to Candace's Hideaway on the luscious island of Kauai. Though it was just my second stay in this cozy but open Hawaiian bungalow, I felt as if I were arriving in a place I could call 'home'. It began with the very friendly greeting from Candace who welcomed me with a plumeria lei and her infectious laugh. I was happy to see her adorable cats again. Lenny and Bo led the way up the stairs to the Hideaway as if they were the official greeters. I loved their entertaining presence during my time there. I purposely cloistered myself on this trip having done the tourist thing during my first visit. This time I wanted to live in each moment with the chance to fully experience my thoughts and feelings in the short time I was to be there. The Hideaway easily allowed me that gift with it's privacy, comfort and surrounding beauty. Some events happened as I planned them like walking down to the river with my morning coffee in hand. I read part of a favorite book on the lanai and had time to write a few pages for my own book. I took a short trip into Kapa'a to buy baby bananas and sunrise papayas at the farmer's market for my breakfast and made sure I had enough essentials for my stay at the Hideaway.Then there were things that showed up, delightfully surprising me during the moments I least expected them. There was the sound of steady night rain cleansing the roof while the lovely fragrance of wild jasmine flowers found it's way through the opened louvered windows. The warm rising Hawaiian sun touching my face to wake me, along with the native birds' 'get up' songs, were treats as well. It was when I was doing nothing that I felt the spirits of the land, the Royal Hawaiians (the Ali'i) who actually claimed this very land by the river as their own so long ago. In the silence, I felt as if I were transported into another time, another culture where the 'Aloha Spirit' was born. This indeed is a very sacred place to stay. After three days I left the Hideaway reluctantly but grateful for my renewed spirit. I know that I will be back for a longer visit, perhaps for a ride up the river in the house kayak and more opportunities for other sweet experiences that open up my senses in such lovely ways.I am so thankful for Candace and the retreat she has created to allow me such an incredible stay at the Hideaway. She is definitely the essence of the 'Aloha Spirit.'

Dear Candace, We cannot thank you enough for providing such a beautiful, peaceful spot from which to explore Kauai. Certainly your great vibe figured into the fact that our stay was idyllic...start to finish. We appreciate how well equipped the cottage is and used pretty much all that was made available to us. We can only hope to return...Fondly,

Candace, Mahalo and Thanks for making our stay a wonderful and memorable one we soon will not forget. You have a wonderful place here and we are so glad we were able to spend our Honeymoon here. It will be hard to get back to our regular pace back home. We enjoyed traveling around the island, swimming, snorkling and just relaxing from the canyon to the North Shore. Your library was an invaluable resoource to our stay and helped us plan and understand Kauai better.
