About this house rental
Kai Nalu, which means "Ocean Wave" in Hawaiian, is right on the beach in Waimea, between the river and the historic Waimea Pier. Located on the sunny West side of Kauai, this spacious 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. We recommend going to a life guarded beach for swimming. 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. There is an outdoor shower for convenience.
Earth friendly home utilizes green technology to provide solar hot water and electricity.

Location was great. Very nice home
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
My wife and I stayed at Kai Nalu with two of our adult sons and daughter-in-laws. It was very accommodating for our ohana gathering. We had 3 rental vehicles between us. There was plenty of parking for all. The kitchen and front room were big enough and well-equipped for family style cooking and meals. The washer and dryer were great and in use every day. Each couple had their own bathroom which was a huge plus. The location is excellent. Most mornings we gathered as a family on the backyard beach to watch the Kauai sunrise. Hearing the waves crashing on the beach morning and night added a touch of perfection to our vacation. Shopping, food and shave ice were all a short walk away. The neighbors on either side were very kind and friendly. For Kauai standards, this is a very large, roomy home. We didnt even have to use the 4th bedroom and bathroom. We were very pleased with our choice. If you're staying in Waimea, this is an excellent choice for family/large group accommodations. If i had to choose between the Waimea Plantation Cottages and Kai Nalu, I'd choose Kai Nalu every time! Mahalo!!!

This house was a very clean and had everthing we needed. We would recommend adding grab bars in the bathroom for elderly/disable. We would definitely come back for another stay.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2022
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!
