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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Great location except for the busy road in front across from the beach. Air conditioning is terrible.
TV in bedroom never was fixed. Needs lots of TLC

We loved our time here...everything a beach house should be....your home away from home! If you are looking for a laid back and relaxing, small town, friendly area, with beautiful views.....this is the place for you!
The view off the lanai was amazing, a great way to start your morning, have a cup of coffee and watching the waves crashing. The house is right down from a local beach, no crowds which we loved, coming from Dallas, this was refreshing!
Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of God's creation with us!

Love the true Hawaiian bungalow with all the amenities you might want. Style and history. Koke'e trip is faster from there. Amazing views of sunset and Ni'ihau! Great flexible space.

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.

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 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.
