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 back yard 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 over sized glass block shower and jacuzzi tub with an ocean view. The gourmet kitchen has a gas island cook top, tile counters and all appliances.

*** Cancellation Policy *** Cancellations for bookings require a 30-day written notice for refund of your initial deposit. The $50 reservation fee is non-refundable. If less than 30 days' written notice, the rent & excise tax are forfeited. ***

Great location on chill part of the island
Outdoor dining area is great. The beach is not crowded at all. The house is spacious and offers a lot of privacy for each bedroom. The kitchen has all the utensils and pot/pans you need. But you will have to buy everything to cook with including oil, sugar, flour, and any baking stuff (baking soda etc).

Off the beaten path
House was great, neighbors were awesome. It’s not in your typical tourist zone and there is a shortage of good restaurants in the area. We stopped at Costco on our way in and picked up groceries, we cooked at the house several nights, the kitchen is well equipped and we fed 8 adults no problem. Only complaint the ice chest had no lid otherwise everything was as advertised.

Kauai Paradise!
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!!

“Beach house”
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!

Beautiful Waimea
This house was perfect for us. We had plenty of room and our host thought of everything to make the stay a pleasant one. Many items were provided for us and we had all the tools needed to cook, grill, enjoy the beach, and just hang out on the back yard. Stores in the town were an easy walk away. Loved our visit.

Loved the roominess and layout of the house.
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!

Relaxing, memorable, perfect
When I awoke, I saw my brother sitting under the trees in the back yard while reading his book on the beach. I stood on the beach watching my sons boogie board on the waves. I walked into town with my husband for groceries and takeout- everything is walking distance. We drove to popular tourist attractions, but returned home every evening to our private paradise. If I ever return to Kauai, I’m staying in this house.

Staying in Waimea is like being in a real small town, not one that is “touristed up”. Kia Nalu House was very relaxing. Beach is not for swimming, but great for sunsets.

My family, including adult children, 6 & 15 yr old grandchildren, had a wonderful vacation. Close to the beaches & hikes- locals told us about some fantastic beaches. Walking distance to groceries & restaurants. Great view of the black sand beach and wonderful sunsets to remember forever. I would highly recommend the property. Would definitely come again!

Long awaited family vacation
We had the vacation of a lifetime with our kids and granddaughters. This house is so nice and right on the beach. Check in was easy and very efficient! We spent every night watching the sunset while sitting on the beach, and would turn our chairs around and and watch the moon rise on the other side. The house is well stocked, clean and very comfortable. Plenty of lawn chairs , beach umbrellas and a cooler were supplied for enjoying time on the beach. This was so much better than staying at a big resort. This house will be our first choice if we are fortunate enough to come back to the beautiful island of Kauai!

Waimea Bliss!
There were 6 of us that rented this beautiful house. The town of Waimea definitely has a local feel to it which is something we loved about it. A wonderful grocery store is a short walk away from the house as well as easy access to the town. We found the local businesses to be very friendly and the food available at the local restaurants very good. We also found Waimea to be a great central hub to many wonderful beaches to visit nearby as well as being close to breathtaking Waimea canyon. We all agreed that we would love to stay again at this location. The rental agency was helpful and easy to work with. And that side of Kauai is now our preferred place to visit again!

Wonderful trip!
We had a wonderful time here! The house was very nice and the little touches that the property management team left were wonderful. We were a little nervous when we pulled into the neighborhood but once we got to the house, all of that apprehension was gone. We had our propane run out and the coffee pot break during our stay and both problems were fixed within hours of sending the property managers a message. To say they were responsive is an understatement. The outdoor backyard experience was incredible and perfect for our family getaway. We had a wonderful time and will be back!

The property location was awesome and worked extremely well for our vacation to Kauai. If you are looking for a quiet location right on the ocean with 4 beds with 4 baths this is the property for you. The one negative was the air conditioning units were not working and did not get fixed until our last night. We did not let this spoil our trip but made for some uncomfortable nights and we were disappointed since it was advertised as air conditioned. Other than that, real nice property in a beautiful location. Mahalo!

Perfect location for a large family
This house was perfect for our large group of adult family members. There is plenty of room for everyone and a bathroom for each bedroom. The kitchen was great and had fabulous knives for food preparation. The only down side was that the air conditioning quit working. Fortunately there were several fans available to move the air around and keep it cool. I would book this house again.
