SAND, SUN, OCEAN and FUN at the BEACH.
Welcome to 'Hale Lokahi', where the only thing between the lanai and the ocean is the long sandy beach that seems to go for miles. The covered oceanfront lanai runs the full width of the house, so you have a front row seat from which to view sizzling sunsets over the ocean towards the island of Niihau. There are very few actual beachfront houses on the Westside, as most have a road between the house and the ocean. BUT NOT HERE!
You can walk to anything and everything from this location. The Waimea River is just short walk away offering fishing and kayaking opportunities. In less than 5 minutes, you can walk to either of the large grocery stores in Waimea, several restaurants and shops, or take in a movie at the Historic Waimea Theater. Walk in the footsteps of Captain Cook, where he came ashore in 1778 as the first Westerner to come to Hawaii. This is old Hawaii and far from the tourist crowds. Quiet and peaceful with the dry sunny climate that guarantees you the best weather for your vacation.
This lovely “beach cottage” belongs to one of the older families of Kauai. Until recently, it was used exclusively by their large family as a place to get together and enjoy the beach. Newly renovated, they have opened up their home to share with a few lucky vacationers. This may be just the place you have been looking for.
This one story cottage sits on a large oceanfront lot and offers 3 bedrooms, two of which are Oceanside, and all 3 have a/c. There are three full baths, so no one has to wait to get ready to enjoy the day. Life here is meant to be lazy and enjoyed. Take a long walk on the beach, sit in the shade of the covered lanai, or just enjoy a good book waiting for one of those fabulous Westside sunsets. Because we face westward, this is the only part of the island that has a sunset view over the ocean, and what a view this is. This house is spacious enough for 3 couples, a large family, or a couple celebrating their wedding with a wonderful honeymoon. There is a large kitchen, fully equipped to make a gourmet meal at home served at your own private ocean-side table. All the furniture and bedding is new along with an updated kitchen and baths. It’s not likely that you will have a rainy day here on the Westside, but if you want to catch one of those morning football games or watch a movie, you have a new 40'' flat screen LCD television complete with 'High Definition' Cable service! We also have a blu-Ray/DVD player, stereo system with CD and ipod dock, and of course, wireless Internet so you can stay stay connected.
So what are you waiting for? If you have the time, we have the perfect place for your vacation.

A beautiful home on the water…walking distance to Waimea pier and downtown.
We loved our stay — great communicators and ease at getting to home was wonderful. We were there in August so it was hot during the day. Hopeful for an air conditioner unit in common room. Bedrooms were all comfortable with air. We would book again!!! Thank you!!! Mahalo!!!

If you're looking or a great house on the beach in Kauai, look no further. In the garage, one will find beach umbrellas, chairs, and a cooler for your forays to local beaches and an extra fridge. Once inside, you'll find a clean, spacious house with a very well appointed kitchen, all bedrooms have air conditioning, all the towels you could possibly need. Out the back door is the ocean view lanai where we spent a lot of our time, watching beautiful sunsets every night from there. Salt Pond Beach is 10 minutes away for grat snorkeling and the road up Waimea Canyon even closer. We have found Chad to be a great property manager and his local representative, Keenan, very responsive to any issues we encountered. Alan, the groundskeeper is also very friendly and helpful. I don't think we could find a better place than this and we will be back as often as we can!

The home is great, very well equipped with every essential. Close to stores and eateries. Beautiful views. Very relaxing. Ocean sound is wonderful but it is not a swimming beach. The waves crash right on shore and are very rough. The black sand beach is perfect for long walks and the historic pier is fun. Be aware you are in a working neighborhood which means early morning noise.
All in all it was fabulous.

This house is Awesome! 3 bedroom, 3 bath and perfect for our group of 6 with 3 adults, 2 teenagers and a child.
Upon arrival, the house was very clean and furnished with tons of things to help our trip from dishes and towels, to shampoo and sunscreen.
The sunset here can't be beat!!! Walking or driving to a few local eateries is simple. On this side of the island, you are close to Waimea Canyon and the most beautiful beach on the planet, Polihale!!!
The only 2 things I feel are important to know. This beach is not swimmable. Wading in the water and playing on the beach is fine, but direct swimming was not safe during our trip in April. Also, Poipu, Kapaa and Princeville/Hanalei are a bit of a drive. Poipu about 25 minutes, Kapaa 45-50 and North Shore 1 and 1/2 hours.
We knew this going in, because we have visited the island numerous times, but it could be a surprise to others. For us, being in the more local part of the island truly immerses you in the culture and true Aloha of Kauai.
Would definitely rent again! Also, Chad is the best!!! Phenomenal communication.

Honest feedback with Aloha:
Pros:
—Communication with Chad was excellent, as were instructions.
—Location is great to walk for meals and shopping. Very short drive to Chicken in a Barrel/Da Pizza— excellent food!
—House is very close to canyon state parks.
Cons:
—House needs a thorough cleaning—unfortunately we had to do a fair amount of cleaning upon arrival to feel comfortable enough to stay for the 5 nights. When we requested new shower curtain liners and a sheet for the king bed, Chad responded quickly.
—Because the house is in a neighborhood with dogs, be aware they’ll be barking early morning.
—Property description does need to specify that beach is not swimmable rather than having to discover that in guests’ reviews.
This property may be suitable for some travelers, but for us we would not stay there again.

It was a wonderful house at a perfect location. The house was spacious and the kitchen had every cooking utensil and appliance. Could walk to stores, restaurants, and bank. The host was very responsive.

Loved the house and Waimea town. Great access to Waimea canyon and had a fun meal at wranglers steakhouse. Also Da Booze Shop for quick decent plate lunch. Only drawback is beach not swimmable because of muddy water coming in from the river. Salt pond in Hanapepe or down to Kaheka beach to swim.

We would highly recommend this property. Let me get right to it. The ocean view and ocean sounds from the lanai were just amazing! The view is framed with mature palm trees and lush ground cover. The beach and the ocean view is essentially all yours. Hardly ever see anyone on the beach. We chose to stay at this property in lieu of staying at a crowded resort. This felt like our own private space and a very relaxed setting. The house was somewhat older but very clean, beautiful furniture, kitchen extremely well equipped with quality cookware, appliances, dishes, spices, dishwasher, condiments, sheet pans, cutting board, washer-dryer. When using the sink you can look out large window and look at the ocean. Can’t beat that. Each bedroom has its own window air conditioner. To be honest the running of the air conditioner along with very comfortable bed we both slept like a rock! 2 bedrooms have sliding glass doors to lanai. You will find out that you will be out on the lanai about 90% of the time you are at the house. 2 car garage. 1 block away is a very convenient and nice market/grocery store that had everything we desired. Gas grill on lanai for grilling. Tiki torches. 2 umbrellas and lawn chairs for sitting on beach to take in the sights and sounds of the ocean. This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever been on in my life and the property and its location had a lot to do with that. Mahalo to the property manager - Chad and contact Keenan. Have a great vacation...Aloha!

The property is exactly as advertised. We had an amazing time! The house is beautiful and located within a neighborhood away from the touristy areas, which we wanted. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. We will definitely stay here again. Mahalo!

Gorgeous view, although the beach out back is not one for swimming. The house is a bit dated, but it was fine for the two of us, we weren't looking for modern or remodeled. The AC units are only in the bedrooms, so it got a little hot in the living room and kitchen. The place was clean and had the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Beach gear was there for our use. The location is off the beaten path, so expect 30+minute drives to see other venues, beaches, towns, etc...

House was very clean. The open layout allowed for great airflow. Air conditioning in the bedrooms made for comfortable sleeping. Absolutely loved the constant sound of the waves. We enjoyed our stay!
