SAND, SUN, OCEAN and FUN at the BEACH.
Welcome to 'Hale Lokahi', where the only thing between the lanai and the ocean is the long sandy beach that seems to go for miles. The covered oceanfront lanai runs the full width of the house, so you have a front row seat from which to view sizzling sunsets over the ocean towards the island of Niihau. There are very few actual beachfront houses on the Westside, as most have a road between the house and the ocean. BUT NOT HERE!
You can walk to anything and everything from this location. The Waimea River is just short walk away offering fishing and kayaking opportunities. In less than 5 minutes, you can walk to either of the large grocery stores in Waimea, several restaurants and shops, or take in a movie at the Historic Waimea Theater. Walk in the footsteps of Captain Cook, where he came ashore in 1778 as the first Westerner to come to Hawaii. This is old Hawaii and far from the tourist crowds. Quiet and peaceful with the dry sunny climate that guarantees you the best weather for your vacation.
This lovely “beach cottage” belongs to one of the older families of Kauai. Until recently, it was used exclusively by their large family as a place to get together and enjoy the beach. Newly renovated, they have opened up their home to share with a few lucky vacationers. This may be just the place you have been looking for.
This one story cottage sits on a large oceanfront lot and offers 3 bedrooms, two of which are Oceanside, and all 3 have a/c. There are three full baths, so no one has to wait to get ready to enjoy the day. Life here is meant to be lazy and enjoyed. Take a long walk on the beach, sit in the shade of the covered lanai, or just enjoy a good book waiting for one of those fabulous Westside sunsets. Because we face westward, this is the only part of the island that has a sunset view over the ocean, and what a view this is. This house is spacious enough for 3 couples, a large family, or a couple celebrating their wedding with a wonderful honeymoon. There is a large kitchen, fully equipped to make a gourmet meal at home served at your own private ocean-side table. All the furniture and bedding is new along with an updated kitchen and baths. It’s not likely that you will have a rainy day here on the Westside, but if you want to catch one of those morning football games or watch a movie, you have a new 40'' flat screen LCD television complete with 'High Definition' Cable service! We also have a blu-Ray/DVD player, stereo system with CD and ipod dock, and of course, wireless Internet so you can stay stay connected.
So what are you waiting for? If you have the time, we have the perfect place for your vacation.

The bedroom a/c did the job. Nice layout for big family. We loved the ocean views. The only thing to disrupt the serenity was the roosters (now we love them). Quiet neighborhood. Close to Waimea canyon. Lots of food choices within walking distance.
Very comfortable and clean! Loved the beach access, the area was great, weather was good and the house had everything we needed. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was perfect. Loved having beach chairs to take exploring with us! Would definitely come back!
Loved having the beach right outside the back door. The size of the house was just right. Also able to walk to grocery store, eating places, etc.Had a wonderful time.
Spent 7 days at this vacation home rental and for me and my family it was relaxing!! Chad the rental manager was quick and responsive to any questions about the property. The home is located away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts which we really enjoyed. The house was comfortable and to be able to sit on the lania in the mornings and evenings watching and listing to the ocean waves rolling in was very peaceful. The town of Waimea was the perfect size and had plenty of places to eat and enjoy.
We enjoyed our stay very much, accommodation is generous, you find everything you need there. Supermarket is next to the place, also there are nice small restaurants there. If you need to recover it’s the best place. Also many nice trails nearby.

Visit to the Valley of the Temples on Oahu via Kauai Vacation
We celebrated my dad's 75th birthday with sunsets every night on the lanai, easy access to Waimea canyon and the Napali coast and the small-town vibe of Waimea. The place couldn't have been more perfect for us who enjoy beach walking and living like locals. Bedrooms with screen doors leading outside lulled us to sleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to the roosters. Yet we had all the appliances and amenities of home. Loved the stay!
The house was clean, well-stocked with appliances and cooking supplies, and the beach view (especially for sunsets) are beautiful.
Only thing to remember is the beach is walkable, but not swimable. Highly recommend the nearby Salt Pond Park for swimming!
As much as the house worked well for our little group, we spent most of our time on the Lanai listening to the ocean and watching beautiful sunsets and sunrises.
The kitchen is perfect and all the rooms were as listed!
We will go back and wished we had the time to explore Waimea more!
The house was wonderful. Easy walk to the beach and into town for food. The kitchen was very nice and well stocked with cookware and there where even spices. We enjoyed it being in a quiet town instead of a crowded resort area. We often had the beach to ourselves.
House was very clean. The open layout allowed for great airflow. Air conditioning in the bedrooms made for comfortable sleeping. Absolutely loved the constant sound of the waves. We enjoyed our stay!
Loved the house and Waimea town. Great access to Waimea canyon and had a fun meal at wranglers steakhouse. Also Da Booze Shop for quick decent plate lunch. Only drawback is beach not swimmable because of muddy water coming in from the river. Salt pond in Hanapepe or down to Kaheka beach to swim.
Fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration with family.
It was a wonderful house at a perfect location. The house was spacious and the kitchen had every cooking utensil and appliance. Could walk to stores, restaurants, and bank. The host was very responsive.
Our group of 2 couples had an awesome two week vacation staying at the beachfront house in Waimea. The location was perfect for us as we used the property as a home base. We traveled Kauai on a daily bases & we were always happy to return at the end of our outings enjoying the house and ocean front property. We spent most evenings on the lanai enjoying the view, having a few drinks playing cards & fell asleep every night to the sounds of the waves with the bedroom patio doors open. Chad was extremely helpful with his knowledge and suggestions which made our vacation even more special. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we have already booked for next February.
The property is exactly as advertised. We had an amazing time! The house is beautiful and located within a neighborhood away from the touristy areas, which we wanted. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. We will definitely stay here again. Mahalo!
The house is conveniently located at the base of Waimea Canyon and within easy driving distance of several lovely beaches including the stunning dunes of Polihale. While the high surf up north makes ocean-swimming too dangerous in winter, there are several reef-protected beaches (e.g., Salt Pond) down south. It gets very quiet here after 6pm sunset. For crowds of tourists stay up near Princeville.
House has pros and cons.Pros: 1) Spacious for large family, we had 5 adults2) Outside lanai (patio) was nice if there was any breeze 3) Bedrooms had Window mount AC (little noisy)Cons:1) Living room and kitchen area very hot (even with all windows open)2) only 1 ceiling fan operated on high speed, the other 3 ceiling fans operated on low or med speed (living room & kitchen area)3) could update the TV to a larger size.Overall I think if there was a AC unit in the living room/kitchen area (giving you the option to use when there is no breeze) this house is a perfect hidden gem.
This property was conveniently located on an oceanfront sandy beach and was nicely appointed. The house was ideal except for two homes directly across the street occupied by locals who did not tend to their barking dogs tethered in their front yards. Our 6 night stay was interrupted day and night by the disturbance.
This was a beautiful property, exactly as advertised. Steps away from the beach and within walking distance of several great restaurants and a grocery store. The house was well stocked and everything was in perfect, working order. Chad was a great host with prompt and thorough communication and very accommodating. The check-in/check-out process was seamless. My family thoroughly enjoyed our days there and would jump at the opportunity to stay there again.
A beautiful home on the water…walking distance to Waimea pier and downtown.
We loved our stay — great communicators and ease at getting to home was wonderful. We were there in August so it was hot during the day. Hopeful for an air conditioner unit in common room. Bedrooms were all comfortable with air. We would book again!!! Thank you!!! Mahalo!!!
Absolutely beyond great. This property is true beach front with an open neighborhood access on one side which is lightly used and adds to the view along beach that appears remote (any structures are two or less stores and behind a vegetation buffer. The beach is fine sand. It is also a steep entry - no safe for swimming imo.
There is also a fishing pier in walking distance. The house has a generous
