About this property
Hawaiian Charm..Just Steps From The Ocean..On Kauai's Sunny W Side * TVNC4216
PROPERTY OVERVIEW:
House, 2 Bedrooms, 1.25 Baths, (Sleeps 4)
The Nene Nest, Kauai is a classic, sugar plantation- style cottage located on the always sunny West Side of Kauai. Just 152 steps from the ocean, it offers a true Hawaii feel.
Designed with a 'slow' pace in mind, our hope is that you enjoy every part of your stay; sipping coffee on the updated lanai in the mornings with a book in hand, or by relaxing on the beach surrounded by sunshine and ocean breezes on the beautiful garden isle of Kauai.
This charming authentic island cottage was featured in Tiny Homes Magazine and in the 'Love Shacks: Romantic cabin charmers, modern getaways and rustic retreats around the world' coffee table book and we can't wait for you to experience it!
THE SPACE:
Completely restored and remodeled, it features a new fully-equipped kitchen, new bath, two spacious bedrooms, comfortable living room, lanai, bedroom air conditioning 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 AREA:
The home is in Kekaha, the sunniest area of Kauai boasting the longest white sand beach in the Hawaiian Islands. This is 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. Drive two minutes and 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 ocean, 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.

About the host
Hosted by Melissa and Kyle Lipe
I’m Melissa, this is Kyle and these are our two crazy, full-of-energy keiki. We bought this authentic style cottage in January of 2020. While we live in Seattle full time, most of our family live on-island. We have been coming here for over twenty years and finally decided it was time to call a piece of it ‘home’ and give others a place to enjoy this beautiful island from.
Why they chose this property
This cottage is our way of welcoming people to relax and slow down a little.
Our hope is that you enjoy every part of your stay; sipping coffee on the updated lanai in the mornings with a book in hand, or by relaxing on the beach surrounded by sunshine and ocean breezes on the beautiful garden isle of Kauai.
