Custom Ocean View Cottage con A / C, 100 pasos de la playa ... Puestas de sol - TVNCU # 5016

This is a wonderful property for a family vacation. It is very well maintained and convenient. The small backyard is fenced and was just perfect for morning yoga. The house is in an active neighborhood. There is a school across the road but the ocean can also be viewed from the front porch. The beach across the road was a great place to watch the sunset and have a swim. There is a protected area where local children swim down to the east of the house. When we moved to the north of Kauai, we realized just how wonderful it was to have had such a glorious expanse of sand and sea with so few people a few steps from our door. The location was convenient for grocery shopping and we enjoyed the Kauai shrimp always available at the Ishihara market in Waimea.

The property was terrific but unfortunately the neighborhood was not. It was close to the beach but between the barking dog right next door, his yelling owners and the roosters who crowed all night not just at dawn, we didn't get a lot of sleep. Also there are several houses in the neighborhood that were extremely junky. I'm so sorry for this review because the owners of the property we're very responsive have no control of these issues.

If you're looking for a place on the quiet, west side, then this place is a gem.

If you're reading this and you've not spent much time on Kauai, then please note that Kekaha is pretty far away from the main tourist areas. There are no real restaurants - not even a decent grocery store. Kekaha is as off the beaten path as there is on Kauai. If you want the tourist stuff, this is not for you. If you want peace and quiet, easy access to hiking at the Canyon, the swamp, and Koke'e, and an awesome beach (and really nothing else), then Kekaha might be for you.

As far as the house itself goes, it is among the nicest of those we've stayed in in Kekaha (out of six or so properties). As noted in my title, no frills, but everything worked as it should, the place was clean and well kept, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes pots, pans, and utensils, and the neighborhood was quiet (except for the constant clucking of all the chickens). There is even a decent view of the ocean.

Won’t disappoint!
