Location: Kekaha, West Kauai, Kauai, Hawaii, USA (Our Honeymooner's Favorite near Waimea Canyon and Polihale)

Accommodations:  House, 2 Bedrooms, 1.25 Baths (Sleeps 4)

Kamewile Cottage is an original sugar plantation manager’s cottage, lovingly renovated and beautifully appointed in Island Style. It features a new fully-equipped kitchen, new bath, two spacious bedrooms, comfortable living room, lanai, and landscaped garden. Its nine and a half foot ceilings, giant airy windows, original crown moldings and wainscoting, original wood floors, and tropical ceiling fans in each room give you the feeling of "paradise of old."

The home is in Kekaha, the sunniest area of Kauai boasting the longest white sand beach in the Hawaiian Islands. This is the true Hawaii, away from the tourist-filled beaches and stores, where church services and grocery-store conversations are still heard in the Hawaiian language. Yet great restaurants, grocery, farmers market, shops, art galleries, and great Kauai outdoor activities are minutes away. Kekaha is at the doorway to Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, famous for its hiking opportunities and vistas of the Napoli coastline.

THE PERFECT WEST SIDE LOW-KEY DAY:
Awake for coffee on the garden lanai.
Take a morning walk on the longest white sand beach on Kauai.
Stop for lunch at the Lodge at Kokee before an invigorating hike in Waimea Canyon.
Wash off your hiking muscles in the outdoor hot shower.
Stroll two doors down to the beach, cocktail in hand, to watch the island’s best sunset.
Prepare a light supper in the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen.
Then sleep peacefully in your pillow-top king and queen beds with 310 count sheets.

  • Thanks Pam for allowing us to spend time at this beautiful cottage. It had everything we needed. I will never forget sitting outside with my glass of wine, listening to the ocean, feeling the cool breeze on my face and looking at the sky filled with millions of stars. My girls cannot wait to return.

  • The reviews are in...this place kicks `okole! Thank you so very much for opening up your cottage to us. We spent the first 5 nights of our honeymoon here and loved every bit of it. Your cottage is perfectly stocked and so comfortable (there's even an iPod dock and a rice cooker!). We could couldn't ask for more (ok...maybe a few more nights). Good Aloha spirit brought freshly picked papaya and left it on the lanai. Thank you again! -Kirk and Beth

  • Without giving too much away to those of you anxiously awaiting your visit at Kamewile Cottage...even with all the beautiful vistas and exciting adventures Kauai has to offer, the best time we spent was on the lanai, listening to slack key guitar and the ocean surf, enjoying some local beer, with our feet up in the sun and a tropical breeze in the palms. Paradise.

  • Aloha Pam, Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage with us and making our first visit to Kauai a wonderful experience in November 2008. We couldn't have imagined a more restful, peaceful home base. It was very cool to get up in the morning and bring a cup of coffee out on the lanai, feel the warmth of the sun and hear the surf and birds. I love to cook and did so every evening we were there, except for our last night when we dined out at the Beach Restaurant in Po'ipu. The kitchen was so well equiped, I didn't have to 'make do' at all. I noticed when we got home that you had called our home phone (saw it on caller ID) on Tues. 11/11. I think we were probably enjoying a Corona out on the lanai about that time after our kayaking/hiking trip. We've already decided we won't wait so long to return to the island. Our visit exceeded our expectations!!

  • Comment Text: My husband, son and I spent 3 wonderful weeks at Kamewile Plantation Cottage and absolutely loved it. The location couldn't have been more perfect. My husband loved having a great surf break within easy walking distance and our son loved stopping at JoJo's Shave Ice in Waimea every day. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished. We enjoyed many mornings breakfasting on the lanai and many evenings star-gazing and listening to the ocean waves. We have stayed in many vacation rentals around the world and all of us agreed that Kamewile Cottage is our favorite. Pam, mahalo for everything! We will definitely return to Kamewile Cottage!

  • We spent a glorious week at the cottage in June. I found the website to be absolutely accurate and helpful. I agree with the comments that others have made about the overall quality and completness of the property. Also compared to hotels and condo choices, it is very well priced. We were extremely pleased with our experience. Mahalo, Pam

  • We stayed at Kamewile Plantation Cottage for a week in April, 2008 and fell in love with the cottage and Kauai. The cottage is wonderful and very private. We could here the ocean at night. We saw some of the most beautiful sunsets. During the day, we were the only people on the beach most of the time. We had the most relaxing vacation that we have ever had. Mahalo, Pam, for sharing your beautiful cottage with us.

  • We stayed in the cottage March 30 - April 5, and I can't say enough wonderful things about it! The little house is so cozy and beautifully decorated, plus the kitchen has everything you would ever need. We loved being so close to the beach, and walked by the water every day. And after a busy day of sightseeing (or just lying on the beach), it was great to come home to such a calm, quiet beautiful little retreat. Visitors to Kauai should be sure not to miss the beach at Polihale, and stop in Waimea for JoJo's shave ice - yum! Thanks for sharing your special retreat with us, we would highly recommend it to everyone we know (except we would also like to keep it our special secret!). Mahalo, Pam!!

  • My son and I stayed at the Kamewile Cottage while in Kauai of 8/2007 and had a great time. It has a very well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, handy out-door shower, spacious bedrooms and a feeling of cozyness as it is nestled away from the street. We loved coming home from a day of exploring Waimea Canyon, shopping, sightseeing or swimming to such peace and quiet. The beach is just a few houses down and is very clean and practically deserted. We enjoyed collecting shells, coral and playing in the waves. What beautiful crystal clear aquamarine water! My son talks about how much fun we had and how much he enjoyed staying at the cottage, I know that we are going to enjoy those memories forever.

  • The Kamiwale Cottage is perfect for a great relaxing vacation. About 45 minutes from the airport, the time it takes to get to the cottage really doesn't seem to take that long because of all the scenery and small towns along the way. The whole week while my husband and I were on our honeymoon, it never rained - even when rain would be falling about 15 minutes away and on the other side of the island. The cottage is tucked away among other cottage style homes and at night you can hear the waves crashing while you lay down on a comfortable bed with the windows open. The decor in the house is so perfect and the kitchen is great - everything we needed was there. Looking at all the pictures again online, I wish I was still there. The beach is literally right down the street and the road to Waimea Canyon is probably about 1-2 miles away. My husband and I were a little worried when we arrived because we had forgotten all of our Kauai travel guides, but we found so many resources and books at the house. Thanks! I would definitely stay here again - and hope to - maybe on a future anniversary trip.
