About this property

1 Mile from Kalapaki Beach, A/C 1 bedroom home

Malu Kauai is situated in a small neighborhood called Niumalu. Three miles from Lihue town core this 1 bed/1 bath detached home is centrally located, clean and well cared for by the Owners. Includes a full kitchen, a lanai with awning, an outdoor grill, washer/dryer room for your exclusive use, easy parking, and is fully air conditioned.

The famous Duke’s Canoe Club, with its ocean view dining, live music and Hawaiian Hospitality, is just a mile away as well as Kalapaki Beach and the Kauai Marriott Hotel. Also nearby are both Anchor Cove and the Harbor Mall for more dining options and tons of shopping and activity services. Safeway and Costco are approximately 3 miles away for days you want to shop and cook at home.

Lihue is our central seat of government with State and County buildings along historic Rice St., Wilcox Hospital, Kukui Grove mall, Kauai Museum, Grove Farm Museum, Puakea Golf Course, Kauai Community College and many local businesses and eateries. Don't miss Kauai Beer Company or Kauai Pasta on Rice Street or Verde and Kenji Burger at the Hokulei Shopping Village. Oh and Robs Good Times Grill at Rice Shopping Center is GREAT for lunch also, large menu in a sports bar style atmosphere.

If a Luau is calling you visit Kilohana Plantation for their Kalamaku Luau, quite a show only 3 miles away! Kilohana Plantation also hosts Koloa Rum Company's tasting room and store, and tours of the historic grounds. Very cool!

Nawiliwili Harbor is close by for Cruise Ship and container arrivals and Huleia River is steps down the road for kayaking or fishing tours or the Menehune Fish Pond Overlook. Nawiliwili harbor can sometimes a bit noisy during the day as ships arrive but we have had very few complaints about that. Hulemalu Rd. also functions as a bypass road for locals going to and from work daily, usually 6-8 am and 3-5 pm are higher traffic times.

* Free wifi
* Comfy seats in livingroom
* Free laundry for your exclusive use
* Easy parking right on the front lawn
* Rural, owner live next door, but don't worry they never bother our guests!
* 25 Minute drive to Poipu Beaches, dining and shopping
* 55 Minute drive to North Shore Beaches, dining and shopping

The cozy bedroom has a queen size bed, with a ceiling fan and AC, dresser and a large closet. The bath offers a tub/shower.

With all the options you have, please consider Lihue town for its easy location to all sides of the island and a plethora of things to do as the locals would. You will enjoy all it has to offer.

*stays longer than 21 days will require a mid stay cleaning(s).

Aloha- The unit was exactly as was described on the site. We greatly enjoyed our stay even with the crazy weather that Hawaii had these past few days. A few things to note: if this is your first trip to the Islands, the road to the unit is winding and seems to be off the beaten path. It is not. It is a beautiful drive as you make your way and just enjoy the view. As with all the islands the wild chickens are everywhere and the roosters will be an alarm clock for you. The unit has everything you need, but stop and get you some coffee and food essentials before you arrive. If you are a Costco member it is less than 5 minutes away. As a comparison of things: lunch in one of the food places averages 40/50 for two people but Costco cost us 6 for two hotdogs . Again - great place to stay and would do it again and the host communication was superb.
The view as we drove down to the unit. Absolutely beautiful

We had a lovely stay here. The location worked out nicely as we had easy access to the entire island. The property is located in a quiet and safe area with the luxury of hearing live music in the evenings from the inn across the road.

The sweet little cottage was perfect. Very nicely furnished, comfortable, kitchen and bathroom stocked with all the basics, nice welcome basket, Nd the shaded porch is a gift, and particularly special after dark. Neighborhood is so quiet, except for the inevitable roosters crowing in the morning, which is simply a reminder of being in rural Kaua’i. Only drawbacks are that no services or beaches are within walking distance, but since you know that beforehand, no complaints. And the drive is beautiful! Mahalo to Marti.

Cozy cottage with plenty of amenities

The property was one of the best rentals we've ever stayed at. It was clean, the furniture was comfortable (a rarity), and an array of amenities were available to use i.e. cooking utensils, beach chairs, and umbrellas. And it was close enough to the highway all of the island was easily accessible.

Excellent Location

My husband and I were visiting Kauai for our honeymoon, and we had an amazing time at the house. The house was clean, had everything you need to cook, stocked with toilet paper and paper towels. It was a very easy checking process, they gave us the code and told us what we needed to do for checkin. The surrounding area was very calm and peaceful, better than what is advertised. This could be due to a road being closed on one side of the house, but it was perfect for us. We took walks at night and enjoyed the beautiful view from our front porch. We are definitely staying here again if we ever come back to Kauai!

Best accommodation in Kauai

We’ve been to Hawaii a lot of times but this is by far the most relaxing place we’ve stayed at. Very quiet area. Most amenities we need are provided as well as toiletries. The drive to groceries and restaurants is 10-15 mins due to road closure which we didn’t mind at all. And secured parking is a HUGE plus in Hawaii. Will definitely come bak and recommend.

Very Nice Cottage

We just loved the property. It was clean, neat and well maintained. Had wifi, which was important to us as our Verizon service evidently had a dead spot there. The location was convenient to everything we toured over the 6 days we were there. Would return again next trip.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2020
Thanks Steve! Verizon is usually the MOST reliable cell phone service on the island. I'll look into this. Hopefully it was just an unusual event. If need be, we'll add a cell phone booster to the unit for improved service. Thank you again, please visit again next time!
