Hawaii> Waimea

Kai Nalu, which means "Ocean Wave" in Hawaiian, is right on the beach in Waimea, between the river and the historic Waimea Pier. Located on the sunny West side of Kauai, this spacious home provides a perfect setting for your holiday in paradise.
Enjoy spectacular ocean views (enhanced by a fabulous view of Ni'ihau -- the Forbidden Island) and watch the sun set into the sea every evening from a nearly endless stretch of charcoal sand beach. We recommend going to a life guarded beach for swimming. Take a stroll down the beach at your leisure and if you happen to see green sparkles in the sand here, they are mineral crystals called olivine. Gem-quality olivine is known as peridot, the birthstone for August.
Two expansive lanais overlook views of Ni'ihau sunsets and are a great place from which to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or cool beverage along with the fabulous vista.
The living room is bright and comfortable with wonderful ocean views. The huge master bedroom suite has a sitting area and equally fabulous views. The master bath has marble floors, an oversized glass block shower and jacuzzi tub with an ocean view. The gourmet kitchen has a gas island cooktop, tile counters and all appliances.
Earth friendly home utilizes green technology to provide solar hot water and electricity.

We had a great time staying at this beachfront property. The house was very nicely stocked with everything we needed for our week long stay. AC worked very nicely as it was pretty warm during our stay. It was very nice to walk out the back door and take morning walks on the beach. The property is located at the mouth of a river so the water is not as blue as other beaches. That area is also not good for swimming but the strolls on the beach were perfect or just hanging by the water listening to the waves crash, unbeatable. Every morning for breakfast we sat outside under the covered patio and enjoyed the view and sounds of the ocean. I personally love the west coast. It is not as touristy as the Princeville area and easy to get to beautiful beaches that are not at all crowded.
The property management team was awesome too. Very responsive to all our needs. Will stay here again! Thank you!!

Great home, great experience! The home was perfect for our family vacation. The beds were confortable; plenty of bathrooms; the kitchen has all the comforts of home; great outdoor space. The home is in needs of some updates, butoverall our experience was good. If geography and important and wanting to be in close proximity of activies, probably not the home for you.

The property was well kept, very clean, quiet, beautiful beach to walk on, had everything we needed. Waimea is a nice quiet town with everything you need, grocery store, restaurants, shopping.

House is great. Location is good if you want a less touristy area. Beach is not useable. High surf area with churning water 24/7. Can’t get in it at all. Also no shaded area to enjoy it. Would have liked more transparency in the beach description for this VRBO. May have impacted my choice. Home was great!

Away from the tourist rush, but close enough to join any excursions you want to do. Lots of room on the lanai for group meals and games.

Perfect quiet location especially watching the sun going down over the water after a busy day snorkelling and sightseeing.

We had searched long & hard to find the perfect house to celebrate our 60th birthdays for four friends that have been great friends since the 4th grade. We made our reservation 4/10/22. On 9/30/22 less than 48 hours prior to arrival, we were informed that the A/C did not work and extra fans would be in place. This would have helped if all of the doors had screen doors... This was a major reason why we chose this house. With no other options, we were refunded 30%. Upon arrival, the house had mold, doors falling off, dryer lint never cleaned, VERY DIRTY. We felt uncomfortable with the cleanliness the entire stay. This was NEVER resolved except for the bleach spray around one bedroom window, & Lucy left me a message stating that someone came back to clean, we noticed minimal change and would have not noticed it at all unless she called. Happy to send photos of our stay. We were given notice that our cleaning fee would be refunded. When was the last time ANYONE inspected this house? Lucy tried her best to accommodate our issues. It was not her fault. We remain EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED and as questioning if we would use VRBO again, as there does not seem to be any checks and balances in place.

Beach location was very nice. House is spacious with a lovely deck and patio. They provide lots of beach chairs and toys, a couple boogie boards and coolers which was wonderful! The property is in need of some upkeep/repair. The lawn needed mowing the day we arrived and was never mowed during our 8 day stay, there are a couple broken chairs, the master toilet runs between flushing and the A/C didn’t work the entire time we were there. It took 3 days to get a repair person to come look at it and then it needed a part. The management tried their best with limited resources but it definitely affected our trip. This is the dry, hot side of the island and while we knew that when we booked, we were expecting a functioning A/C. Thank goodness for ocean breezes!
