Description

Kai Nalu, which means "Ocean Wave" in Hawaiian, is a beautiful home right on the beach in Waimea, between the river and the historic Waimea Pier. Located on the sunny West side of Kauai, this spacious and beautifully furnished 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. Kayak from your backyard and enjoy the annual migration of the giant humpback whales (from late November 'til April).

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.

Great communication on our stay for our family vacay.

The property was ideal for our needs and exactly as described.

The host was accessible at anytime should we had needed to contact anyone.

Everything was great!

This house was perfect for us, 5 adults and 2 children. While the water was not good for swimming, the beach was great for playing, walking and watching the sunset! Waimea is a great little town and, it’s Kauai, so everything is close by. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this house.

The home is right on the beach. It is an easy walk to groceries, food and coffee. We liked that there are four bedrooms. We choose a vacation rental because it is like being at home, less to pack, saves money on food. Comfort of a home rather than a hotel, plus keeping us all together. Kauai Vacation Rentals were awesome, got back to me right away when I emailed. Staff told us that we couldn't seim in the ocean behind the home even though it was stated well in the description, which was great! People in town were very friendly and that is part of why we love this island!

This house was wonderful! Very spacious and clean. Perfect size for our big family. Very easy walking distance to town with kids. Right on the beach and next to the river. Swimming in the ocean here isn’t advised (think that depends on the season) so we swam in the river which felt amazingly refreshing and we had a lot of fun in it. Don’t let the dark color fool ya it’s draining the red dirt from all around Waimea canyon. The house comes fully equipped with plenty of beach chairs, towels, sand toys and snorkel gear. The staff at the rental company were extremely helpful and courteous in our needs. If there was any blemishes on this property it would be the AC had a tougher time keeping up with AUG heat/humidity. But they supply a lot of fans which helped a lot. It was never too uncomfortable just used to central air. Not a deal breaker. Pictures don’t fully give the depth and beauty of this home. It really is an amazing home. The master bedroom is fantastic. One bedroom is an MIL suite. While we like to explore different places to stay on each visit I wish we could get this house in every location. Felt like a second home. 5 stars all the way. If this house went on the market in our $$ range we’d buy it.

The property is spacious and beautiful, lovely communal spots to gather, We used the the lanai and backyard constantly and the ability to simply walk onto the beach from the property was amazing. We had a fabulous time cooking in the very welcoming, beautifully appointed kitchen! It was truly paradise

We rented this house for our visit to Kauai this time. With the exception of food, it had everything we needed to make our 8 day vacation a wonderful experience. Went to sleep every night listening to the ocean crashing on the beach just a few yards from the house. We would definitely look into renting this property again if we return to Kauai again.

We had the best time at the house. There were 6 adults and one 8 yr old. We spent 10 days. The house was beautiful and clean. The property mgmt was organized, friendly and professional. It was like having our own private beach. We can't say enough good things about the trip. I will highly recommend this rental company to our friends. Kauai is a paradise. Sue H.

We were very happy with our stay at this lovely home in Waimea. Being right on the beach, and a short walk to restaurants and shopping is ideal; the neighborhood is quiet and friendly, and this location was ideal for close access to hiking in the mountains and exploring the west coast of Kauai , while accommodating those who just wanted to relax on the beach and stay close to home. Thank you for a wonderful experience

This house was perfect for our group of all ages! Waimea is a sleepy little town close to majestic Waimea canyon and tranquil Salt Pond beach. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Shopping was close by. Ample bathrooms and bedrooms. The large outdoor dining area worked well too.

We loved our stay! The house was well stocked and we loved the sound of the waves at night. We loved this side of the island, very laid back and relaxing. Loved Polihale Beach and Salt Pond Beach, they are both short drives from the house. The sunsets are amazing to watch every night. We will definitely be back!!

We stayed at 'Kainalu' in Waimea on the Westside. The house was awesome and right on the beach. Super comfy beds too! We made sure to catch the sunset every night and ate outside on the lanai often. We went on an ATV tour in Koloa, windsurfing at Anini Beach, snorkeled at Lydgate Park, had a picnic in Kokee near the Lodge, played in the ocean every day, and three of us went hiking to Hanakapiai Falls. It was such an awesome trip. The house was more than roomy enough for the seven of us. My husband and I had the master bedroom upstairs which had its own lanai and loungers as well as a master bath with a shower and separate jetted tub. We slept listened to the waves roll in and crash as we went to sleep. It was incredibly relaxing. KVR was great about e-mailing us reminders and left us a packet of helpful information along with the keys at our car rental place at the airport. You guys were great!!

We enjoyed our visit. The house was perfect enough room for all us to enjoy and the neighbors are great gave us so much local information of places to go see. I would walk out to the beach every morning to watch the sunrise. We have added to the game cabinet with poker chips and cards there is even a new yard game to play. Really loved having beach towels and cooler to take when we went exploring for the day. Oh and if you need to use a pharmacy while there go to Wayside pharmacy they saved us when i ran short of my prescription and couldnt have been nicer.

Great house! You can really hear the surf. Stocked with cooler to use and beach chairs. There was even a fishing pole which was great since you dont need a license to fish in the ocean. The river enters the ocean only a 1min walk down beach. While we were there it had carved a natural water slide into the sand complete with rapids. The kids had a blast . We'd stay there again for sure!
