Be advised: This transient vacation rental property is located in a tsunami Evacuation Zone. Evacuation procedures are detailed in the rental agreement, as well as posted inside the house.

Enjoy unparalleled luxury in this amazing restored local style home in historic West Kauai. Here you will find a quiet walk back into time, with the best weather on the island. Less than 15 inches of rain, and sunny almost everyday, you can walk for miles on uncrowded white sand beaches. Glorious sunsets are seen all year round from only this part of Kauai.

Located at the foot of the Waimea Canyon, there is easy access to the many natural sights that has been called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Spectacular waterfalls cascade over vermillion cliffs into the Waimea River below. Explore the many sounds and sights, that nature has to offer, on countless trails for hiking. In less than 20 minutes, you can be up to the top of the mountains, where many of the hikes begin.

This wonderful, and upscale house was originally built in a bygone era. It was restored to the highest level of quality workmanship and design. It features hardwood floors, detailed trim, custom tiled baths, and a gourmet kitchen. Everything is new, with an emphasis on maintaining the integrity of the original design, including all custom made furntiure. A large covered rear lanai provides a sanctuary of quiet and calm, with lush plantings to provide privacy, and a genuine tropical feel. Here, you can dine alfresco in the shade of the late afternoon and evening. A new HOT TUB has been added for enjoyment and renewal, after a day of hiking and sightseeing. You will never want to leave your island home!

Inside you will find custom amenities rarely found in this price range. The furniture was custom made for comfort and island design. Every piece was selected by one of the island's famous interior designers to create the ultimate ambiance. The kitchen is a full size chef's delight, with everything you need, and could want, to create the perfect meal at home.
The bathrooms are fully tiled with walk in showers and pedestal sinks. The bedrooms feature comfortable beds with the highest quality linens. Thick thirsty towels await you after your shower.

There is cable TV, and high speed wireless internet, should you need to stay in touch with home or work. There is even a separate office/den, with a generous desk and work area.

The West Side of Kauai has the sunniest and warmest weather year round, and is characterized by it's unspoiled and uncrowded beaches. THIS IS NOT A RESORT AREA, but an opportunity to step back in time, into another era, in a sleepy town by the beach. People visit year, after year, once they discover the quiet and natural beauty.
The historic town of Waimea is only 3 miles away, providing grocery stores, restaurants, and even a restored cinema featuring current films.

Why spend your vacation taking a chance on rainy weather, which is often found on the north and east parts of the island. Come to Kekaha, where it is said: the West is BEST!

So great we stayed here again

Can’t leave a better review than the fact we stayed here for 2 more weeks a couple years later. Really a great place, best property management team on the island (we’ve stayed in properties managed by them 5? times now), and for the beach and the mountain this is a spectacular location.

Living like a local

This home is restored beautifully and well maintained. Excellent communication and less than 5 minute walk to the beach. You are in the more rustic part of the island but if you want to get away and relax like a local this is it. Great restaurants and friendly people close by. 30-45 min drive to other beaches and resorts if you want to get a different view. The front porch and Lanai are also incredible.

The Best

I've stayed in many Air ***s and VRBOs, and this was the best. We didn't want to stay in the Poipu or Princeville areas, had no desire to stay again in a condo. This house is in a small town, easy access to beaches and the canyon. The back yard is lovely. The house was amazingly fitted and clean with everything we needed. Would stay again in a heartbeat! If youre looking for crowds and nightlife, then it's not for you. If not, its perfect.

Off the beaten path

Quiet, serene, virtually tourist free area. Easy, back road access to Waimea Canyon. A far cry from the hordes of Poipu and Koloa and the north shore. Went to Salt Pond beach every day for a swim after hiking. Kids loved the bigger but still manageable waves. Beds very comfortable, back yard and lanai lovely.

The house was extremely nice and comfortable - just as presented in the pictures. The lanais at the front and back were very relaxing and where we spent most of our time. The house is in a lovely quiet neighborhood and was well stocked with all we needed for our stay. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Our little cottage

Cute cottage with nice accommodations. Perfect location near Waimea Canyon and great for hikers. Quiet neighborhood. It was a little farther out of the way for us but still doable. We were disappointed that the gas grill propane tank was empty but we worked that out as well. Easy communication with proprietor. We enjoyed our stay. Mahalo

Christmas in Kekaha

We’ve been coming to Hawaii every other Christmas since 2011. This was the nicest rental property we’ve experienced. Very clean, well appointed, close to some great beaches, quick drive to Port Allen for excursions. The back lanai and yard feel secluded and peaceful even with neighbors on all sides.

Amazing plantation home

Just got home today, spent 10 days at this beautiful home. Beds were comfy, lots of space, back lanai was adorable and hot tub was a bonus. Didn’t really use the hot tub or the lanai as we were hardly there, only to sleep. Kitchen is well stocked. Showers are nice. Yard is so nice. Lawn chairs and umbrellas and towels are always appreciated. The cooler was a bonus and the shop vac to get all the sand out of our rental car, outside shower was a good idea too. We hope to stay here again. There’s a nice little trail across the street that takes you to the beach, you can’t really sit in sand on this beach but can walk not far to sandy areas. stay here again.

Dream Plantationhouse

We really and truly loved the wonderful house, the garden and the spa. It was so clean, calm and just absolutely brilliant. We would go back immediately, and we certainly will tell our friends about this awesome place. The kitchen is well stoked, we cooked every night, sat outside and looked at the stars and the full moon. Thank you for having us!

Everything we wanted/needed and MORE!

This little cottage was the perfect spot for my husband and I to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We loved everything about the layout of the home, the backyard and the amenities. We used the hot tub every night after our hiking days and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. If you want to truly get away and experience Kauai’s local scene, this is the spot! I hope to return someday. A magical place indeed.

Neighborhood Feeling

: Property was definitely renovated to accommodate guests. The area is in the southwest of Kauai and very quiet, yet accessible to all the beaches and activities in the area. No massive condo complexes or resorts to contend with. Lots off written instructions to ensure questions are answered. Nice yard and about a block from the beach. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Paradise in Kekaha

We enjoyed our stay at Hale Lehua! Such a wonderful historical home renovated beautifully throughout. We spent countless hours relaxing under the completely covered lanai and enjoyed the peacefulness of the lush tropical landscape in the backyard! We drove and visited the different towns of Poipu, Lawai, Koloa, Kalaheo, Eleele, Hanapepe, Waimea, Kekaha and Koke’e; as well as the many beaches and farmlands along the way! Thank you for sharing Hale Lehua with us! We hope to return and stay on the West side of Kauai again!

Perfect house to get away from it all

The property is the best shape of any VRBO I’ve stayed in anywhere. It is remote, but if you’re going to the last town on the road, that’s what you want. Stock up before you get there, just stay and relax. The hot tub was fabulous and the peace and quiet was serene. The traffic to get back into/out of Lihue can get bottled up at a couple of choke points but the seclusion of Kekaha is worth it. The house was well maintained, extremely clean and everything you need is there. The on site mgr is responsive as is the owner.

Family vacation

Our stay at this wonderful home was one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve had on a vacation. Every inch of the property was welcoming with a beautiful paradise like lani that added a beautiful tropical privacy fence lined with tropical trees. The home was well kept and cleaned very well. You could tell the owner, host and cleaning staff had pride in this property. If you are wanting a quiet peaceful vacation. This southern Kauai location will be for you. The beach, shopping, restaurants are close by. One of our favorite beaches was located at Pu u ka Pele forest reserve. The beach was one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen with minimum people. The house had everything that you needed. We will be staying here next time we visit. Thank you to the owner and staff for a wonderful stay. Thanks, Andrew

Perfect home in Kauai

This place was equipped with everything to make you feel at home. The cutest, coziest cottage that was absolutely perfect in every way. Pictures don’t do this place justice! Very tasteful style and furnishings inside and out. Our family enjoyed the home so much, it was difficult to get them to leave the house most days. Our mornings were spent enjoying coffee on the front porch and our evenings either on the back patio or in the relaxing hot tub admiring the lush landscape. You will not find a more beautiful place in Kauai! A side note: There was a small issue when we first arrived and Scott, the property manager, resolved it very quickly and professionally. He was more than fair with accommodating our family! We were so pleased with our stay and can’t wait to return!!!

Awesome Get-Away

Home was everything we wanted... Very relaxing, nice to get away from the more "tourist-y" areas, close to Waimea canyon/hiking, and beautiful beach just across the road. We like to be away from the hustle and bustle on vacation, and this home fit the bill. The property was clean, well-furnished, and as pictured. Check-in/accessing property was clearly communicated and we had no trouble. We did have a little hiccup with utilities (as happens with any home ownership). The property management responded immediately, was communicative throughout the problem, and the outage was fixed within a matter of a couple of hours. We were extremely pleased with the response, and thankful the problem was solved in a timely manner that did not hinder our vacation. We hope to stay here again! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!!

A Week in Paradise

This was our first trip to Kauai and on our last trip to Oahu we stayed in a VRBO and loved it, so thought we would try that here. We were not sure where the best location was to stay on the island, but decided on Kekaha and this property. Wow, what an excellent choice! This property is a great location if you want to stay away from the crowded east side of the island. We drove to Ha'ena State Park one day and it was so crowed and touristy feeling on that side of the island and we could not wait to get back to our quiet side! This property is an older restored house as the description states, but it was so nice! The back yard is like having your own Disney resort! We spent every evening on the back lanai just relaxing and enjoying the breeze and hot tub! There is a mango tree on the neighbors property, but it would drop 3 or 4 mangos a day in our yard and we would eat them every evening...so fresh and juicy! Then, the little lady next door even brought us some in a bag, but we could not eat them all! The neighborhood is kind of a mixed bag. Some houses are kind of in disrepair and others have been restored and are beautiful. We enjoyed the mix of people and would stay here again in a heartbeat! The ocean is just a block away and we would walk there to watch the sunset almost every evening. A beach to swim in is just a short drive down the road. The Kekaha beach was never very crowded and we enjoyed it more that some of the other big tourist beaches.
