Be advised: This transient vacation rental property is located in a tsunami Evacuation Zone. Evacuation procedures are detailed in the rental agreement, as well as posted inside the house.

E Komo Mai and Welcome to the SUNNY west side of Kauai. With less than 15 inches of rain annually, and 15 miles of white sandy beach just a short walk away, why go anywhere else? Guarantee there will be “no rain on your parade” that can spoil your vacation.

Hale Ilima is an upscale beach cottage in the true sense of the word. It’s delightful island style architecture and design will delight you in every way. There are 3 generous size bedrooms with 2 baths. The high ceilings and abundant windows bring the light and the breezes in, to give it that tropical feel.
All new 500 ct. bed linens and thick towels await you. There is a King, Queen, and twin bedroom to accommodate every travelers needs. The twin room can be made into a King as well for couples traveling together.

A new 40’” LCD TV with cable, wireless internet, and free local and long distance calling are just some of the special features we offer.

Everything you need for a beach vacation is here from beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and umbrellas, and did I mention the ocean, sun, and surf? A short 5-minute walk to a lifeguarded beach insures your swimming safety. This begins a nearly deserted stretch of white sand that goes for miles…..all the way to the Na Pali Coast. Venture off to Polihale Beach, a wild natural beach, with majestic sand dunes serving as a backdrop.

Take a hike in the Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” as Mark Twain called it. Instead of driving for hours to get there from other parts of the island, you are only a mile away from the back road leading directly to the top of the canyon and the NaPali coast cliffs.

A stop at the Shrimp Station, or Island Tacos, for lunch will make the wait worthwhile, finished off with the island’s best sno cones at Jo-Jo Shave ice.

If it is a resort atmosphere and dining experience that you are looking for, you are only 25 minutes for the resort area of Poipu Beach. Here you will find world famous hotels, coves of white sand, upscale shopping and dining opportunities.
When your day is near an end, this is the ONLY place to be for SUNSET. From the comfort of your lanai, you can salute the end of the day with the sun setting out over the ocean. Can it get any better than this?

Come and enjoy life...as it should be... at the beach.

Some of the features:

Beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, and umbrellas
500 ct. luxury cotton linens
Plush thick bath towels
40' LCD TV with cable
Wi-Fi internet
Gas BBQ
Outdoor and indoor dining options

Good times in Kauai.
House is ocean front , the beach is not swimmable. Hwy 50 is between the house and water however not much of a distraction and no road noise penetrates in to the house. AC is window type throughout and cooled the house well. Ownership and cleaning staff was easy to work with. Kitchen equipped well, water Toys are provided. Washer dryer is full size. The house is a raised so it’s 14 steps to enter, flat floor once you enter. If you don’t mind the drive to Luis and Kaja keep in mind of an hour it’s a cool house.

Yearly family trip
This house is just incredible! The cleanliness and open floor plan makes for an incredible vacation. Lots of extras such as spices, condiments, coffee, sweet n low, toilet paper, sunscreen etc. The view is amazing and listening to the waves crashing on the rocks in front of the House wonderful as well as the magical sunsets and being able to see more stars than I’ve ever seen. Just incredible!

Quiet town with beautiful sunsets.
We had a great time. The views are great. We were a little disappointed there isn’t much sandy beach around and none across the road from the house. The location is great for exploring Waimea canyon and the south side. It’s a drive and some traffic to get to the north side. The property owners were great to work with. We would stay here again.

The property has a lot of potential but it needs to be upgraded, specifically the floors, baths, and kitchen. The location is in the outskirts of Waimea, the surrounding communities are populated by locals which provide an opportunity to see how they live and how this area differs from the more touristy sections of the island. With a little TLC, this property will be fabulous as the view of the pacific ocean from the second level is spectacular. The property comes with all beach accessories and has AC in all rooms except bathrooms. We recommend providing more beach towels, we only had 4. Keenan the maintenance man was very responsive when we found some issues upon arrival related to plumbing, etc. Overall we had a good time at this home which could have been enhanced if the property is modernized.

Paradise found
1st impression as we walked into the cottage was WOW! The sunsets from the deck were spectacular! The cottage was well furnished from the towels to the well supplied kitchen. Waking each morning to the sound of the ocean was so relaxing and exactly what we needed. We frequented the little sundry store at PMRF base and ate and watched the sunset from Shenanigans restaurant. Other activities were renting e-bikes, catamaran sunset dinner cruise, mountain tubing and just hanging out. Note: the sliding doors facing the ocean are very hard to open WD40 did not work. We would stay here again. Mahalo, LeRoy and Rochelle

Lovely Country Stay on Dry Quiet Side of Kauai
This was a GREAT beach house. Kekaha beach is very uncrowded and a 5 minute walk or 1 minute drive from the house. There is some morning and afternoon traffic on the highway in front of the house, but it didn't keep us awake at night. We all loved the open floor plan. It was so nice to watch the ocean waves crash on the rocks from the porch. We really wanted a rental way from the main tourist areas and this place certainly was that!!!

We had a bit of difficulty finding it in the dark. The place was perfect for our family. Very spacious and well equipped. Beautiful views and relaxing spaces. A little far from most of the action on the island but also pretty peaceful. Would stay again.

Family vacay - already planning on coming back
Our family had just an amazing time at this location. The owner was super responsive to our questions. I would suggest to plan a couple activities where you are back at the location for sunset where you can sit on the lanei. The view is outstanding and if you walk down the road a bit there is a beach to play on. This house was just perfect for our family as my oldest (21) had her own room, my youngest at (15) had his, and we had our own space. We loved the fully stocked with supplies kitchen. We ate breakfast here a lot. We stopped at Costco on way in the first night. The Big Save we went to the next day. Having a washer and dryer was fantastic. The living room was set up well so we could watch tv if we all wanted but also sit at dinning room table and chat into living room or look at ocean. I think after driving the island this is the best spot we could have chosen. We like the location of activities and will stay here again when we come back to visit. Cons were very few - the sound of oceans crashing on the rocks the first night was really loud but it’s just that I didn’t know what it was and now I will miss that sound so much, it’s on a main road so cars do pass but no traffic jams just a nice flow, the shower in the master is a step up and out but if you prefer you can use the other bathroom because there are 2 bathrooms on this property which was also a major plus for this family. Highlights of island spots for us: Lydgate chocolate tours, driving up Waimea canyon all

Great sunset view!
Great location especially for a sunset. The area was quiet and safe. Must have a car to get to larger grocery store and all restaurants. During our stay, there is no visible beach in front of the house. Walked a half mile to the beach but road was safe. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Great place in a great location
My family enjoyed this beautiful home and this heavenly island! The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks across the street lulled us to sleep at night, and the roosters were our alarm clock. This was our second trip to Kauai but our first time exploring the southern coast - we can't wait to come back again! The beach house was tidy and well-stocked. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and even beach toys for the kids were all available. It was like a home away from home.

Awesome
We loved being across the street from the roaring sound of the ocean waves, crashing onto the rock wall. We sat out on the deck at night just to hear that sound. So awesome! We only stayed here at night because we were gone all day seeing the island and exploring. Just a suggestion to future renters: go find this house while it's still daylight out. We got there late at night and it was a little hard to find. Lol. But no worries once we found it. Kauai island is one of the most beautiful places on earth and we hope to visit again someday.

Attending a wedding on Kauai
My nephew lives two streets away and we were attending his wedding. This property was extremely clean. They had window a/c units in the two bedrooms and two in the main living area. We enjoyed the front porch watching the waves crash and the boating activity. The kitchen was well appointed. It was a lovely stay and communication with Scott was great.

Great Stay at Kekaha
Wonderful ocean view on elevated wraparound porch… great location to attractions at NaPali, Waimea Canyon, Polihale Beach, Hanapepe, Salt Pond Beach etc. The property is spacious and capable of supporting family of 6. Great Room has ocean views and full kitchen. Bedrooms and baths are well equipped. Owner provides beach accessories which is fantastic. HVAC is provided by window units and could be improved but does the job well at night. Management is responsive and communicates well. Overall we had great stay and would stay again.

About the host

I have traveled all over the world, but home is on Oahu.

Why they chose this property

I lived in this town on Kauai as a young child, and always wanted to return to the place of my wonderful childhood memories.

What makes this property unique

Living at the beach in Kekaha is an authentic Hawaiian experience. This old sleepy plantation town is 'at the end of the road'. This is the farthest western town in the USA. It is also the driest and most likely sunny spot on the island.,
This is were a 15 mile stretch of white sand beach begins and ends, at Polihale Beach and the cliffs of the Na Pali Coast.
The town is also at the base of the Waimea Canyon, named the 'Canyon of the Pacific' by Mark Twain. Breathtaking canyon scenery and numerous hiking opportunities await you. Beautiful sunsets over the ocean can only be seen from this part of the island. Views of the island of Ni'ihau, and whale watching in the Winter season right from your lanai.
