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.

Enjoy unparalleled luxury in this amazing restored local style home in historic West Kauai. Here you will find a quiet walk back into time, with the best weather on the island. Less than 15 inches of rain, and sunny almost everyday, you can walk for miles on uncrowded white sand beaches. Glorious sunsets are seen all year round from only this part of Kauai.

Located at the foot of the Waimea Canyon, there is easy access to the many natural sights that has been called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Spectacular waterfalls cascade over vermillion cliffs into the Waimea River below. Explore the many sounds and sights, that nature has to offer, on countless trails for hiking. In less than 20 minutes, you can be up to the top of the mountains, where many of the hikes begin.

This wonderful, and upscale house was originally built in a bygone era. It was restored to the highest level of quality workmanship and design. It features hardwood floors, detailed trim, custom tiled baths, and a gourmet kitchen. Everything is new, with an emphasis on maintaining the integrity of the original design, including all custom made furntiure. A large covered rear lanai provides a sanctuary of quiet and calm, with lush plantings to provide privacy, and a genuine tropical feel. Here, you can dine alfresco in the shade of the late afternoon and evening. A new HOT TUB has been added for enjoyment and renewal, after a day of hiking and sightseeing. You will never want to leave your island home!

Inside you will find custom amenities rarely found in this price range. The furniture was custom made for comfort and island design. Every piece was selected by one of the island's famous interior designers to create the ultimate ambiance. The kitchen is a full size chef's delight, with everything you need, and could want, to create the perfect meal at home.
The bathrooms are fully tiled with walk in showers and pedestal sinks. The bedrooms feature comfortable beds with the highest quality linens. Thick thirsty towels await you after your shower.

There is cable TV, and high speed wireless internet, should you need to stay in touch with home or work. There is even a separate office/den, with a generous desk and work area.

The West Side of Kauai has the sunniest and warmest weather year round, and is characterized by it's unspoiled and uncrowded beaches. THIS IS NOT A RESORT AREA, but an opportunity to step back in time, into another era, in a sleepy town by the beach. People visit year, after year, once they discover the quiet and natural beauty.
The historic town of Waimea is only 3 miles away, providing grocery stores, restaurants, and even a restored cinema featuring current films.

Why spend your vacation taking a chance on rainy weather, which is often found on the north and east parts of the island. Come to Kekaha, where it is said: the West is BEST!

Second time renting
We have been in this home before, and looked no further when returning to Kaua’i. It was very clean and comfortable for us. I really like being able to park in our own driveway so close to the door. If we would be so blessed to return to Kaua’i in the future, this is where we would hope to stay. Aloha

So great we stayed here again
Can’t leave a better review than the fact we stayed here for 2 more weeks a couple years later. Really a great place, best property management team on the island (we’ve stayed in properties managed by them 5? times now), and for the beach and the mountain this is a spectacular location.

Beautiful, comfortable home!
The house worked great for our family of 4 (2 kids - 20 and 18). It is very nicely decorated, clean, and the beds super comfortable. It has all amenities you could need for cooking and for the beach including beach chairs and towels. Loved having a hot tub to use after our hiking adventures. The back porch was the perfect setting for our breakfasts. Kekaha is a little more remote and not as touristy as other parts of the island (which is why we selected this VRBO). It is really close to Waimea Canyon which is a bonus. Note, the beach adjacent to the house is not swimmable due to rocks/waves. When we were there in the summer, the water was right up to the rocks (so you can’t swim or walk on the beach). But you could hear the waves from the house which was a bonus. A really nice neighbor gave us a couple of mangoes when we were walking one morning. Highly recommend staying here!

Off the beaten path
Quiet, serene, virtually tourist free area. Easy, back road access to Waimea Canyon. A far cry from the hordes of Poipu and Koloa and the north shore. Went to Salt Pond beach every day for a swim after hiking. Kids loved the bigger but still manageable waves. Beds very comfortable, back yard and lanai lovely.

Our little cottage
Cute cottage with nice accommodations. Perfect location near Waimea Canyon and great for hikers. Quiet neighborhood. It was a little farther out of the way for us but still doable. We were disappointed that the gas grill propane tank was empty but we worked that out as well. Easy communication with proprietor. We enjoyed our stay. Mahalo

A Week in Paradise
This was our first trip to Kauai and on our last trip to Oahu we stayed in a VRBO and loved it, so thought we would try that here. We were not sure where the best location was to stay on the island, but decided on Kekaha and this property. Wow, what an excellent choice! This property is a great location if you want to stay away from the crowded east side of the island. We drove to Ha'ena State Park one day and it was so crowed and touristy feeling on that side of the island and we could not wait to get back to our quiet side! This property is an older restored house as the description states, but it was so nice! The back yard is like having your own Disney resort! We spent every evening on the back lanai just relaxing and enjoying the breeze and hot tub! There is a mango tree on the neighbors property, but it would drop 3 or 4 mangos a day in our yard and we would eat them every evening...so fresh and juicy! Then, the little lady next door even brought us some in a bag, but we could not eat them all! The neighborhood is kind of a mixed bag. Some houses are kind of in disrepair and others have been restored and are beautiful. We enjoyed the mix of people and would stay here again in a heartbeat! The ocean is just a block away and we would walk there to watch the sunset almost every evening. A beach to swim in is just a short drive down the road. The Kekaha beach was never very crowded and we enjoyed it more that some of the other big tourist beaches.

Quiet and Cute Oasis
We had sucha good time here! This was our first time in Kauai and we r happy we chose this sunny and quiet location. The house is super cute and they just updated their air conditioning. The hot tub was perfection. We liked to start our day as the sun was coming up with a good soak. The back yard is so perfect. The covered lanai makes it a perfect place to hang rain or shine, and the privacy was awesome. We loved the neighborhood. We felt safe, it was quiet and the people around us were friendly. The beach is a short walk away and there r a couple of little convenience stores just a few blocks away as well. We met Scott after a day or two of settling in and he was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We appreciated his communication throughout our stay whenever we had a question. We loved Allen, our groundskeeper- whatta sweet man he is and we loved chatting with him. If we could have made one suggestion that would have made our stay even better- it would be to have had a couple of gravity chairs for suntannig in the back yard that can be tucked away when we r not using them. We will definitely be back! Mahalo Nui Loa 🌿

Far from the madding crowd…
If you want a lovely rental in a small community far from resort-Kaua’i, this is the place. (Although nowhere on Kauai is, in fact, very far from anyplace else - it just feels far from resort-Kauai.) Peaceful setting, roosters and cats in the neighborhood, hot tub in the spacious back yard, well-equipped kitchen, mini-split HVAC heads throughout (which were barely used), responsive management - great rental. There is a minor downside to experiencing life on Kaua’i in its westernmost community - you might have a 30 drive to some activities (Poipu beach, excellent restaurants in Koloa/Poipu, beach/hills horseback ride at CJM Stables, etc) and you are as far as you can get from Hanalei (but still only 90 min). But it is a block from a patch of beach, a two minute drive to Kekaha Beach, and 15-30 min to good snorkeling at Salt Pond, Lawa’i, Koloa Landing, Poipu. The trips up the Na Pali coast sightseeing and snorkeling are just minutes away - and if you have the right Jeep rental (suggest Ali’i), the heavily pot-holed gravel road to Polihale at the nearby west end of the main highway gets you to the beautiful, lengthy, very remote sand dunes and beach. And the road up to the Waimea Canyon lookouts and trails starts two blocks away. Highly recommended for those who prefer an alternative to a resort condo rental.

Christmas in Kekaha
We’ve been coming to Hawaii every other Christmas since 2011. This was the nicest rental property we’ve experienced. Very clean, well appointed, close to some great beaches, quick drive to Port Allen for excursions. The back lanai and yard feel secluded and peaceful even with neighbors on all sides.

Beautiful Paradise in Kekaha
We enjoyed our stay at Hale Lehua! Such a wonderful historical home renovated beautifully throughout. We spent countless hours relaxing under the completely covered lanai and enjoyed the peacefulness of the lush tropical landscape in the backyard! We drove and visited the different towns of Poipu, Lawai, Koloa, Kalaheo, Eleele, Hanapepe, Waimea, Kekaha and Koke’e; as well as the many beaches and farmlands along the way! Thank you for sharing Hale Lehua with us! We hope to return and stay on the West side of Kauai again!

Perfect home for your Kauai adventures
Lovely little home, comfortable beds with nice linens, really well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. We were only two but this would be absolutely perfect for 4 people as well as there are two full bathrooms and room for lounging and eating for four. Quiet neighborhood, a beach to watch the sunset walkable and only a few miles from the town. We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% consider staying again if we are back in south Kauai.

Family vacation
Our stay at this wonderful home was one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve had on a vacation. Every inch of the property was welcoming with a beautiful paradise like lani that added a beautiful tropical privacy fence lined with tropical trees. The home was well kept and cleaned very well. You could tell the owner, host and cleaning staff had pride in this property. If you are wanting a quiet peaceful vacation. This southern Kauai location will be for you. The beach, shopping, restaurants are close by. One of our favorite beaches was located at Pu u ka Pele forest reserve. The beach was one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen with minimum people. The house had everything that you needed. We will be staying here next time we visit. Thank you to the owner and staff for a wonderful stay. Thanks, Andrew

Everything we wanted/needed and MORE!
This little cottage was the perfect spot for my husband and I to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We loved everything about the layout of the home, the backyard and the amenities. We used the hot tub every night after our hiking days and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. If you want to truly get away and experience Kauai’s local scene, this is the spot! I hope to return someday. A magical place indeed.

Perfect home in Kauai
This place was equipped with everything to make you feel at home. The cutest, coziest cottage that was absolutely perfect in every way. Pictures don’t do this place justice! Very tasteful style and furnishings inside and out. Our family enjoyed the home so much, it was difficult to get them to leave the house most days. Our mornings were spent enjoying coffee on the front porch and our evenings either on the back patio or in the relaxing hot tub admiring the lush landscape. You will not find a more beautiful place in Kauai! A side note: There was a small issue when we first arrived and Scott, the property manager, resolved it very quickly and professionally. He was more than fair with accommodating our family! We were so pleased with our stay and can’t wait to return!!!

Paradise!
My husband and I splurged for our 10 year wedding anniversary, and boy did we ever enjoy our stay in this wonderful home. Beautifully restored, the owners have put a lot of thought into it; very comfortable and truly felt like we were in our own mini paradise. The backyard was hands down our favorite place. The exotic sounds, hot tub, views, and overall feel of it was so lovely. Perfect place for a couple, 2 couples, or a family of 3 or 4. The entire island is truly magical, and staying in this home made it even more so.
