THIS PROPERTY NOW HAS A NEW TOTAL A/C SYSTEM FOR 2024!

Blue Lotus Cottage is a special beach cottage, custom built in 2005, and only one short block back from the ocean with a wide and direct ocean view.
A short walk (100+ steps) takes you to a small sandy beach area. Kekaha is small residential town, away from the crowds and major resorts, situated at the base of the Waimea Canyon. You will definitely get the island experience in this people friendly town, with Hawaiian neighbors. Kick back on the shaded ocean view lanai, in comfy lounge chairs, and enjoy the ocean breeze and look for whales. Enjoy the best sunsets the island has to offer, and get the least amount of rain and humidity on your vacation. With less than 15 inches of rain a year, this is the place to be when the rain is falling on other parts of the island.

The open floor plan incorporates the kitchen, great room, and dining area....all with a great ocean view. Walls of windows capture the trade winds, keeping the cottage comfortable.
The kitchen has a large island with stools and granite countertops. The kitchen is fully equipped with newer appliances, including a glass top range, fridge, dishwasher, oven, and microwave. Cooking meals at home is a pleasure. Every kitchen small appliance is here from coffee grinder to rice cooker, food processor, and a blender to make that island drink.
Beautifully furnished with wicker, sea grass, teak wood, island decor and art. Maple wood floors and fans in every room. A master bedroom with it's own bath, newer King bedroom furniture and mattress. There is also a second TV in the master bedroom. The second bedroom has NOVA MEMORY FOAM KING BED, and lots of soft pillows for added comfort. This room can also be made into a twin room upon request. There is a trundle bed in the 3rd bedroom, also with memory foam. All of the linens are new 500 ct. cotton sateen, and the towels are thick and thirsty. The personality and charm of this cottage will make your vacation one of the best experiences ever.

Kekaha Beach Park, about 1 mile away, offes lifeguard safety. Salt Pond Beach Park, about 15 minutes away, is a perfect crescent shaped beach park, which is ideal for small children with small waves. Polihale State Beach is for the adventurous beach goer, looking for that wild dune backed beach. After a bumpy 5 mile dirt road, you are rewarded with a secluded beach that is, to many, the most beautiful on the island.

At the base of the Waimea Canyon, you have direct access to fantastic scenery, and miles of hiking opportunities. It is often been called the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific'.

Hanapepe Art Night, every Friday night, is for the art lover and only 10 minutes away. It's restored galleries have many art treasures for viewing and purchase.

Waimea, only two miles away, has a grocery store, restaurants, and a movie theater. Don't miss the fresh shrimp from the nearby Sunrise Shrimp Farm. Within minutes, there are several restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For a special night out, the Poipu Resort area offers you numerous upscale dining and shopping opportunities.
Fifteen minutes to Port Allen marina, this is the starting point for the Na Pali Coast boat tours. Also nearby by, the Kauai Coffee offers taste testing and tours. There is also a public golf course that offers inexpensive golfing, in a historic hill top setting, offering challenging golf and fantastic vistas across the island.

But most of all, this community is a beach town.
You are guaranteed to have the driest and sunniest weather on the island each day, and access to 15+ miles of nearly deserted beach. Mornings are generally electric blue skies with light breezes. The sunsets are only seen from this part of the island, and they make for a memorable end to another day in paradise.

Come and visit for awhile, and you may find yourself wanting to stay forever. People fall in love with Kauai, and often come back every year, to spend their days by the sea in the sun and surf. Why not give it a try? You can spend a week here, for the price of two nights at one of the resort hotels.

This is living....island style! Live Aloha!

Adorable Cottage near the ocean
The Blue Lotus cottage was just about perfect for our needs. The house is super clean, has everything you could possibly need for cooking, living and beach-going: lots of fluffy clean towels, comfortable bed, air conditioning in every room, a well stocked kitchen, beach towels and chairs (and beach toys if you have kids). The front porch has a nice view of the ocean where we ate lots of meals. My only, slight negative is that it is quite a drive to the north side of the island. And, though beautiful, the close beach is not good for swimming. But, we really prefer the quaintness of Waimea, Kekaha, and Hanapepe to the really touristy north side. And we found a beach in Hanapepe (Salt Pond) that was amazing and only a 20 minute drive. We are already hoping to come back and would stay here again.

Sweet home away from home!
This home had everything we needed for our stay: a well-appointed kitchen, laundry facilities, beach-going equipment, and comfortable beds. It was very clean and well-maintained. There’s an avocado tree in the yard (I’m guessing they will be ripe in a couple of weeks, early October) as well as fragrant plumeria, hibiscus, etc. It was easy to adjust the air conditioning (heat pumps) and the house was perfect for our needs. I think the only thing is that the bathtubs need refinishing, as the surface is chipping, but they functioned well and were clean.

Immaculate and super comfortable
The home was very nice, super clean, well-furnished, very nicely decorated, and fully stocked. Obviously renovated in recent past by very good contractors, especially painters. It was perfect for our two couple needs. Beach towels and cooler were nice and helpful amenities. Also, DVR worked so we were able to record the Cowboy game while out on our no-door helicopter tour. cccccccontractots.

The house was very well appointed. We loved spending time on this side of the island vs the more popularized areas, it was easy getting to the other areas, but always nice to come back to a peaceful area. The beach across the street is great for a late evening stroll. We loved the breakfast spots nearby. We would stay here again next time!

Family Vacay
We had a wonderful stay in Kekaha. This house had everything we needed while we were there! It’s just a short trip to Kekaha beach park where we spent many evenings. The beach is not crowded and the kids had a blast! This house was minutes from the small boat harbor where our Nepali boat tour launched from which was by far our favorite day. It wasn’t far to go hike Waimea Canyon either. But I recommend lots of water and maybe don’t try to hike to the bottom of the canyon like we did, unless you are really experienced hikers (which we clearly are not!) Great places to eat over in Waimea as well. My husbands favorite was the Lava burger over at Gina’s Anykine Grinds Cafe. We had an amazing time!

Great house!
It was super clean. Had everything you could want in the kitchen. The beach supplies were in great shape. Beds were really nice. You can walk to the beach, but it's more of a shoreline with sand. Great location if you plan to hike in Waimea a lot. We did our beach time in Poipu and got our groceries in Lihue. I found driving really easy and pleasant on this side of the island.

Amazing Stay in Kekaha
We had the BEST stay. Scott was quick to answer any questions we had. The house was very clean. Great neighbors and neighborhood. We got to know quite a few of the locals. Extremely friendly and helpful with ideas for our short vacation. The kitchen has everything you need as well as a few spices and condiments. The beds are super comfortable with brand new bedding. The house is a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed nights there watching the sunset. We would love to come back to this beautiful home. Thank You Scott for allowing us to stay at your home.

A Rare Gem!
At the end of each busy day, we returned to this well-appointed house just a short walk from the ocean in a quiet neighborhood. For five us (two couples and one other adult), it was the perfect. The interior has beautiful hardwood floors, separate A/C in each bedroom as well as the front room and a fully stocked kitchen complete with spices to make delicious home-made bread and meals. A front porch with lounge chairs to sit and watch the sea. There is also a nice size washer and dryer in a small shed beside the carport. As advertised, while it was raining on much of the north side of Kauai, our house at best got a few showers during the day but mostly had sunny or partly cloudy skies. If you’re looking for a nice quiet bungalow-style house away from the hustle and bustle of the main towns on the Garden Isle, this fits the bill perfectly!

Very cozy, beautifully kept.
This house is a home, very cozy, well kept, and very clean. We loved it, property manager was very good in communication. The only thing that was not represented well was the walk to the beach, it was stated 150 steps, and you could not do that had to walk to the end of the block and down. Loved it enough to stay there again.

Great place
We spent 9 days in this property and it was perfect for our needs, which included two couples. The house was impeccably clean and the kitchen was very stocked with all the utensils, pans, and dishes you could need. We very much appreciated the grill and the washer and dryer. There were ample fluffy bathroom and beach towels. We used the beach chairs and cooler many times. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, and there is a direct ocean view as the school's playground is right in front of the house. There's a small beach about 100 steps away, and the Kekaha Beach Park is just about a mile away and was a great close beach. We enjoyed the small town location. There are several restaurants just 5 minutes away in Waimea, although only two that are open for supper. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great West Coast location
The cottage worked perfectly for us: well equipped, clean, comfortable, porch views of the ocean with the school across the street, and far from the tourist crunch (about 45 minutes from the airport.) An ideal location if you want easy access to Waimea Canyon which, as birdwatchers and hikers, we did. The barking of some neighborhood dogs was super annoying at times but overall, the house was a great choice. Thanks!

Great rental property
Home was perfect for our family of six adults. Clear and simple entry instructions was great. We loved sitting on porch and watching the ocean throughout the day. We really appreciated having a clean house with air conditioning along with the little touches like ziplock baggies for lunches to take on our hikes. Only challenge for us was that so many of our activities ended up being farther away from the house than we anticipated, so it made for long drives daily. Other than that we loved it!

Wonderful Kauai Vacation!
This property is wonderful! Exactly as advertised, super clean, well-stocked....perfect. We used the Tommy Bahama sand chairs, umbrella and cooler every day. Kitchen has wonderful knives, pans, dishes, and there are fluffy soft towels throughout the house. Washer/dryer with detergent and dryer sheets provided were extremely useful given our 10 days, the Kauai humidity and days at the beach. We even used the clothesline. All the cleaning supplies and spices/condiments were appreciated There was even small amounts of sun screen and aloe left in the laundry area, which we really appreciated. There is a nice Weber BBQ for grilling. They have truly thought of everything! The front bedroom does NOT have air conditioning, so sleeping with that door open is almost required, but all bedrooms, living room and dining room have super nice ceiling fans that work great! WE LOVED OUR STAY!

Kauai hiking adventures
Loved the cottage itself. Neighbors were great especially Lala the furry friend. Kitchen was well stocked (except for measuring cups🙂🙂), felt like the appliances were brand new, knives were sharp. The kitchen both a drip coffee maker and a bodum which fit our needs perfectly. The stove did not have an exhaust fan. The bedroom with the day was needed drawer storage and a small table. Master bedroom was great enough storage. Plenty of hangers! Just a personal preference but the shower heads would have been easier if it was a fixed shower head. Cottage itself was wonderful. The air conditioning units and were strategically placed. They worked fine and was sufficient to cool the whole house. Loved the ceiling fans. We liked being able to walk across the street to the water. Enjoyed sitting out on the porch. Enjoyed having washer/dryer. Property manager was easy to work with. Left clear instructions and utilized the books about Kauai. They were very helpful. Chicken Barrel was a fun place to eat and hang out. Loved Jojo’s shaved ice. We went there twice!!! Market is also close by. We even went to a farmers market by the community college to get fresh vegetables! We explored the entire island and did 4 hikes! Poipu was our favorite because we were able to see the sea turtles come to rest at dusk!

Not Accessible
I explicitly stated that I needed a place that was accessible. I knew there were stairs in the front but I thought the back led directly into the house. And I thought there were only 3 stairs in the front. Turns out there were 6 stairs in the front and back which made getting in and out of the house almost impossible. Perhaps this was a misunderstanding on the part of the broker but it seriously affected my stay. I also thought the photos were deceiving and made the beach and ocean appear a lot closer than it actually was. The house was clean and pleasant but my trip was ruined because of the accessibility issue.

Blue Lotus Cottage Kekaha
The property had all the amenities needed, washer, dryer, lots of towels for beach and bathing. My Mom liked it was across the street from a church. Comfortable beds, air conditioning in living room and two larger bedrooms. We were able to fix meals fully stocked kitchen with cooking utensils. It was far enough out from Poipu to escape the traffic, but close enough that we were able to get there quickly. Lots of places to visit on the South end of the island and the sunsets were easily seen from the Hwy. There was three of us but plenty of room for 6. Will consider renting this cottage again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Worner

Host profile image
We purchased the house, being from New York, looking for a warm and sunny place to spend some quiet time.

Why they chose this property

More sun and warmth. Less rain and humidity. Quiet and more old world Hawaii. Love the 15+ mile beach. This is the real Hawaii, not the one of resorts and expensive hotels.

What makes this property unique

Favorite thing to do is just walk out the front door, across the street to the beach, and grab a spot under palm trees slightly to the left and watch the ocean and sunsets. Love to sit out on the lanai and read. I like to cook fresh fish, among other things, and that's why I have such a well equipped kitchen. We have done most of the excursions and just like to relax at home mostly. But my favorite excursion is taking a catamaran up the Napali Coast.
