About this property

Private, Comfortable and Cozy with Distant Ocean and Mountain Views

Boulay Inn is nestled on Kauai’s south side in rural Omao. It is your own secluded home away from home with all the amenities to ensure your comfort. There is a spacious airy living area, a queen sized bed, tiled shower and a verdant yard outside your windows. Your accommodations are airy and comfortable with a combination of ceiling fans and sliding glass doors. We have tried to think of everything you might possibly need for your island home. Cooking facilities, entertainment center, including cable TV and Wifi are all available. No need to lug your hair dryer, there is one in your bath. A washer and dryer are provided because we don’t want you to spend any of your Hawaiian vacation in a laundromat.

Omao (meaning green in Hawaiian) is a convenient hub for all east, west, and south shore activities. Sunny Poipu Beach is just minutes away with swimming beaches and all sorts of water sports such as snorkeling, diving, surfing, boogie or stand up boarding. We have most beach accessories for your convenience, including beach towels, chairs, cooler, boogie boards, and snorkel gear. Remember to bring your sunscreen.

If golf is your game, choose from three beautiful courses within a fifteen minute drive.

Old Koloa Town, Poipu and the surrounding area abound with dining and shopping choices. There are over thirty restaurants within a ten minute drive and several areas with "lots of different kinds of shops". Koloa town has two grocery stores, a pharmacy and a bank. You won’t have to go far to find what you need.

Please do contact us for more specifics on the space that will be available for you.

Fantastic Stay!

We loved our stay at the Boulay Inn! The location was great. The neighborhood was nice and was relatively quiet, aside from the chickens, which is normal. Sheri and Jim were wonderful hosts and truly made us feel welcomed. This space was equipped with everything we needed from pots and pans to beach chairs, snorkel gear, and even a lunch tote to take to the beach!

Our stay at the boulay inn was amazing. Sharon was an amazing host and very friendly. The inn was in the absolute best spot. The beach and activities were not too far away and was easily accessible. Sharon was very friendly, gave good recommendations, and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Highly satisfied and hopefully will be returning soon!

Great little place to explore Kauai.

It was perfect for my wife and I. We explored the whole island from here and when ‘home’ it had all we needed. The hosts are great, helpful and very friendly. Great beach amenities and use of laundry facilities. If cooking and staying in, all you need is here!

Perfect week in paradise

It was a wonderful week that we were able to spend in this fantastic apartment. We felt safe and comfortable from the very first moment. The accommodation is in a great location and has everything you need and more. Sheri is a wonderful person. She kept asking us how our day was and always had something great to tell us. She knows the island very well and has great tips. We would have loved to stay longer, if we come back we will definitely book here again. We can highly recommend the accommodation.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
