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.

Boulay Inn

Omao and the Boulay Inn is a Delightful rural spot with very gracious and understanding hosts. Easy access to all of Kauai. Boulay Inn is like home away from home …plus a friendly cat visitor. The delights of Kauai await you…major green sea turtles at Poipu beach. And even endangered Hawaian monk seals for you to find. Not to mention cool trade wind breezes wherever you go. This inn was the best spot we have found of our three visits. Many thanks to the owners.

Amazing guest house

This guest house has everything you could need. Comfy bed, TV, kitchen, shower/bath… everything. Great hosts, they were so friendly but still give you privacy. They really made us feel at home here. If you want a non tourist location, stay here!!! We spent so much time in koloa, which we may have not even realized all it had to offer if we didn’t stay here. If you’re on the fence - just book it! You won’t regret it

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!

nice and convenient place in a garden and very caring hosts

Location is very nice and convenient for visiting the island. Koloa is a pretty little village. The apartment is very nice, with all you need for a pleasant stay. Our hosts have been very friendly and helpful. It is nice to live in a real Hawaiian house and not in a tourist resort. We can recommend this place.

Wonderful

We had a fantastic time in Kauai. Sheri and Jim were wonderful hosts, the apartment was well stocked with everything you would need for your stay on the island. Sheri even supplied milk, coffee, juice and cereal for your first couple of days. And of course a fresh pineapple and bananas, which were delicious. I can’t say enough great things about the Boulay Inn and Sheri and Jim. Would love to go back again for a longer stay, stayed 13 nights. Was hard to leave. Thank you!

Charming Kauai stay and great hosts

Our upstairs apartment was clean and well stocked. Our hosts were very friendly. The kitchen was well stocked. Towels and chairs were available for beach time. No a/c but the breeze and the fans kept things very comfortable and we actually had to close windows at night. The roosters spouting off at 5am was our only concern but this is Kauai so you should know what you are getting. We would definitely stay again.

We loved it!

What a gem to find on Kaua'i. The apartment was the perfect size for two of us, very clean and had everything we needed, including a space to park our car on the property and the use of a washing machine. The location was great and Sheri was the perfect hostess. She always met us with a smile and her suggestions of places to visit were ideal. 100% recommended.
