THIS PROPERTY NOW HAS A NEW TOTAL A/C SYSTEM FOR 2024!

Blue Lotus Cottage is a special beach cottage, custom built in 2005, and only one short block back from the ocean with a wide and direct ocean view.
A short walk (100+ steps) takes you to a small sandy beach area. Kekaha is small residential town, away from the crowds and major resorts, situated at the base of the Waimea Canyon. You will definitely get the island experience in this people friendly town, with Hawaiian neighbors. Kick back on the shaded ocean view lanai, in comfy lounge chairs, and enjoy the ocean breeze and look for whales. Enjoy the best sunsets the island has to offer, and get the least amount of rain and humidity on your vacation. With less than 15 inches of rain a year, this is the place to be when the rain is falling on other parts of the island.

The open floor plan incorporates the kitchen, great room, and dining area....all with a great ocean view. Walls of windows capture the trade winds, keeping the cottage comfortable.
The kitchen has a large island with stools and granite countertops. The kitchen is fully equipped with newer appliances, including a glass top range, fridge, dishwasher, oven, and microwave. Cooking meals at home is a pleasure. Every kitchen small appliance is here from coffee grinder to rice cooker, food processor, and a blender to make that island drink.
Beautifully furnished with wicker, sea grass, teak wood, island decor and art. Maple wood floors and fans in every room. A master bedroom with it's own bath, newer King bedroom furniture and mattress. There is also a second TV in the master bedroom. The second bedroom has NOVA MEMORY FOAM KING BED, and lots of soft pillows for added comfort. This room can also be made into a twin room upon request. There is a trundle bed in the 3rd bedroom, also with memory foam. All of the linens are new 500 ct. cotton sateen, and the towels are thick and thirsty. The personality and charm of this cottage will make your vacation one of the best experiences ever.

Kekaha Beach Park, about 1 mile away, offes lifeguard safety. Salt Pond Beach Park, about 15 minutes away, is a perfect crescent shaped beach park, which is ideal for small children with small waves. Polihale State Beach is for the adventurous beach goer, looking for that wild dune backed beach. After a bumpy 5 mile dirt road, you are rewarded with a secluded beach that is, to many, the most beautiful on the island.

At the base of the Waimea Canyon, you have direct access to fantastic scenery, and miles of hiking opportunities. It is often been called the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific'.

Hanapepe Art Night, every Friday night, is for the art lover and only 10 minutes away. It's restored galleries have many art treasures for viewing and purchase.

Waimea, only two miles away, has a grocery store, restaurants, and a movie theater. Don't miss the fresh shrimp from the nearby Sunrise Shrimp Farm. Within minutes, there are several restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For a special night out, the Poipu Resort area offers you numerous upscale dining and shopping opportunities.
Fifteen minutes to Port Allen marina, this is the starting point for the Na Pali Coast boat tours. Also nearby by, the Kauai Coffee offers taste testing and tours. There is also a public golf course that offers inexpensive golfing, in a historic hill top setting, offering challenging golf and fantastic vistas across the island.

But most of all, this community is a beach town.
You are guaranteed to have the driest and sunniest weather on the island each day, and access to 15+ miles of nearly deserted beach. Mornings are generally electric blue skies with light breezes. The sunsets are only seen from this part of the island, and they make for a memorable end to another day in paradise.

Come and visit for awhile, and you may find yourself wanting to stay forever. People fall in love with Kauai, and often come back every year, to spend their days by the sea in the sun and surf. Why not give it a try? You can spend a week here, for the price of two nights at one of the resort hotels.

This is living....island style! Live Aloha!

There is a avocado tree! Nice place in a local location. We don’t feel like we are a tourist we feel like we can enjoy the real island life. The kitchen is well stocked. There are beach chairs, umbrella and towels. Even a remote for the TV that we could use. We will be back.

This home is PERFECT and the location is excellent. The home is wonderfully updated and beautiful. The view from the front porch is spectacular. The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors are exceptionally polite and friendly.

There were 5 adults staying at the cottage. We enjoyed being in a small community, with the sounds of daily life around us, and the close proximity of the beach. We travelled around the island, exploring nooks and crannies, and this location served us well as we planned our various excursions.We enjoyed the outdoor shower, having a washer and dryer, and beach toys and towels. We also appreciated the kitchen being so well-stocked with cooking and dining utensils. The living space was very comfortable for our group.Two suggestions: maybe install a clothesline in the yard? And how about a full length mirror somewhere in the house?

Aloha. This home is in a gGreat location in warm Kekaha. Quiet neighorhood, "welcoming" home, house was well stocked with dish ware, pots/pans, linen, etc. We appreciated the indoor airconditioning, the lanai with its comfortable outdoor seating, indoor layout in living and kitchen areas. Owners' communication was terrific in providing check in/out info, responding to our questions, etc. They made our stay comfortable. We had no worries with our stay there. Mahalo for a wonderful vacation.

My husband and I stayed here for my birthday. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and had everything we needed. We loved the very low key area the house is located in. The beach across the street was beautiful and had very few and sometimes no other people, which I loved. We will definitely be back!

10.0 / 10.0

Overall it was fantastic. It was a little farther from the beach than the listing stated. Great features.

8.0 / 10.0

We liked staying here for being a bit off the grid away from all the busier tourist areas. It is a convenient beach location though you’re actually across the street from a school so children noise during school days & you have to walk around the school grounds to cross street to beach. We did appreciate the beach chairs & cooler provided. There were also towels, umbrella & sunscreen. I personally didn’t find it to be super clean but it’s well maintained & I am a bit picky. Unfortunately the washer wasn’t working when we arrived but Scott let us know the evening we checked in & he had a repair person lined up so it was dealt with asap. He &Keenan were very responsive to our needs & we did enjoy the laid back atmosphere & we were happy to have a grill for the fish we caught

10.0 / 10.0

Our family of four had a great experience staying at this location. It is a bit away from most of the major tourist destinations and major stores, but that fit our plan for the trip and it was well worth it. Absolutely amazing location in a quiet neighborhood. House was as advertised and more. Beautifully maintained and had everything one would need to enjoy a lengthy stay without needing to contact the host. Thank you for the ease of the processes of booking, checking in, and checking out. Would definitely stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

House was perfect. Well equipped kitchen, clean, beach accessories provided along with large beach towels. Had many family staying around us and some without air conditioning, I must say, air conditioning is a must when visiting this side of the island. Would definitely go back.

10.0 / 10.0

This is a really nice home with an ocean view from the porch. A great place to unwind and have dinner after a day of exploring.

10.0 / 10.0

My adult siblings and I took my 82 yo mother, she wanted to go to Kauai. She loved the house and "it has everything". Kitchen well stocked, tasteful furnishings, good instructions pre arrival and at the house. Beach chairs, toys, floaty, ice chest even a beach umbrella; washer and dryer for afterwards. New heat pump AC for each room and ceiling fans. For coffee lovers: french press and a regular coffee maker. A Britta water filter pitcher. Quality cookware. very comfortable and well maintained. The House is close to Waimea drive if you want to explore the canyon. A few stores in Waimea10 mins drive. Poipu is 40 mins. Bring earplugs if you sleep on the east side of the house, their puppy whines in the early morning hours and then the roosters all over the area start in around 4am. Other than the animals, the neighborhood is quiet. a church/school is across the street from the house, and then "highway" 50 bordered by a lava stone seawall. the surf here is too rough to swim, "danger stay off" signs. Cant see the ocean through the church, so the description "100 steps to the beach" is deceptive for me. I had the impression we would be on the beach. More like 2 blocks away. But it has a SW view and you can imagine the sunset on the other side of the church while sitting on the covered porch, or walk down the street west a bit to get a better view. We attended a harvest festival for the community a couple blocks away-very nice to see families enjoying the food and music.

10.0 / 10.0

The Blue Lotus cottage was just about perfect for our needs. The house is super clean, has everything you could possibly need for cooking, living and beach-going: lots of fluffy clean towels, comfortable bed, air conditioning in every room, a well stocked kitchen, beach towels and chairs (and beach toys if you have kids). The front porch has a nice view of the ocean where we ate lots of meals. My only, slight negative is that it is quite a drive to the north side of the island. And, though beautiful, the close beach is not good for swimming. But, we really prefer the quaintness of Waimea, Kekaha, and Hanapepe to the really touristy north side. And we found a beach in Hanapepe (Salt Pond) that was amazing and only a 20 minute drive. We are already hoping to come back and would stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

This home had everything we needed for our stay: a well-appointed kitchen, laundry facilities, beach-going equipment, and comfortable beds. It was very clean and well-maintained. There’s an avocado tree in the yard (I’m guessing they will be ripe in a couple of weeks, early October) as well as fragrant plumeria, hibiscus, etc. It was easy to adjust the air conditioning (heat pumps) and the house was perfect for our needs. I think the only thing is that the bathtubs need refinishing, as the surface is chipping, but they functioned well and were clean.

10.0 / 10.0

The home was very nice, super clean, well-furnished, very nicely decorated, and fully stocked. Obviously renovated in recent past by very good contractors, especially painters. It was perfect for our two couple needs. Beach towels and cooler were nice and helpful amenities. Also, DVR worked so we were able to record the Cowboy game while out on our no-door helicopter tour. cccccccontractots.

Nice place close to Waimea canyon. Great hiking and proximity to NaPali coast. We enjoyed our stay.

10.0 / 10.0

Everything and more! We had a wonderful stay. The house was just perfect for 3 adults and one 10 year old. There were a lot of amenities and it was so nice not to have to rush out to buy shampoo or TP. Check in was smooth and we had no issues at all. We would definitely stay here again!

10.0 / 10.0

The house was very well appointed. We loved spending time on this side of the island vs the more popularized areas, it was easy getting to the other areas, but always nice to come back to a peaceful area. The beach across the street is great for a late evening stroll. We loved the breakfast spots nearby. We would stay here again next time!

We had a wonderful stay in Kekaha. This house had everything we needed while we were there! It’s just a short trip to Kekaha beach park where we spent many evenings. The beach is not crowded and the kids had a blast! This house was minutes from the small boat harbor where our Nepali boat tour launched from which was by far our favorite day. It wasn’t far to go hike Waimea Canyon either. But I recommend lots of water and maybe don’t try to hike to the bottom of the canyon like we did, unless you are really experienced hikers (which we clearly are not!) Great places to eat over in Waimea as well. My husbands favorite was the Lava burger over at Gina’s Anykine Grinds Cafe. We had an amazing time!

10.0 / 10.0

It was super clean. Had everything you could want in the kitchen. The beach supplies were in great shape. Beds were really nice. You can walk to the beach, but it's more of a shoreline with sand. Great location if you plan to hike in Waimea a lot. We did our beach time in Poipu and got our groceries in Lihue. I found driving really easy and pleasant on this side of the island.

10.0 / 10.0

We had the BEST stay. Scott was quick to answer any questions we had. The house was very clean. Great neighbors and neighborhood. We got to know quite a few of the locals. Extremely friendly and helpful with ideas for our short vacation. The kitchen has everything you need as well as a few spices and condiments. The beds are super comfortable with brand new bedding. The house is a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed nights there watching the sunset. We would love to come back to this beautiful home. Thank You Scott for allowing us to stay at your home. The Harding Family

The location of the home was amazing. Being able to wake up to the sounds of the ocean was beautiful. The owner is very accommodating by providing all the beach amenities, cooking amenities, etc. It was an amazing stay

10.0 / 10.0

At the end of each busy day, we returned to this well-appointed house just a short walk from the ocean in a quiet neighborhood. For five us (two couples and one other adult), it was the perfect. The interior has beautiful hardwood floors, separate A/C in each bedroom as well as the front room and a fully stocked kitchen complete with spices to make delicious home-made bread and meals. A front porch with lounge chairs to sit and watch the sea. There is also a nice size washer and dryer in a small shed beside the carport. As advertised, while it was raining on much of the north side of Kauai, our house at best got a few showers during the day but mostly had sunny or partly cloudy skies. If you’re looking for a nice quiet bungalow-style house away from the hustle and bustle of the main towns on the Garden Isle, this fits the bill perfectly!

10.0 / 10.0

Really enjoyed the stay. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Beach is only a block away so we were grateful for beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Property manager was responsive and very helpful. Wonderful stay. Will stay again.

The house was lovely. The neighbor has a puppy mill and dogs whined and barked at all hours of the day and night. I finally had to resort to wax ear plugs and white noise on the highest volume. It was unfortunate .

10.0 / 10.0

This house is a home, very cozy, well kept, and very clean. We loved it, property manager was very good in communication. The only thing that was not represented well was the walk to the beach, it was stated 150 steps, and you could not do that had to walk to the end of the block and down. Loved it enough to stay there again.

10.0 / 10.0

We spent 9 days in this property and it was perfect for our needs, which included two couples. The house was impeccably clean and the kitchen was very stocked with all the utensils, pans, and dishes you could need. We very much appreciated the grill and the washer and dryer. There were ample fluffy bathroom and beach towels. We used the beach chairs and cooler many times. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, and there is a direct ocean view as the school's playground is right in front of the house. There's a small beach about 100 steps away, and the Kekaha Beach Park is just about a mile away and was a great close beach. We enjoyed the small town location. There are several restaurants just 5 minutes away in Waimea, although only two that are open for supper. We would absolutely stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage worked perfectly for us: well equipped, clean, comfortable, porch views of the ocean with the school across the street, and far from the tourist crunch (about 45 minutes from the airport.) An ideal location if you want easy access to Waimea Canyon which, as birdwatchers and hikers, we did. The barking of some neighborhood dogs was super annoying at times but overall, the house was a great choice. Thanks!

10.0 / 10.0

Home was perfect for our family of six adults. Clear and simple entry instructions was great. We loved sitting on porch and watching the ocean throughout the day. We really appreciated having a clean house with air conditioning along with the little touches like ziplock baggies for lunches to take on our hikes. Only challenge for us was that so many of our activities ended up being farther away from the house than we anticipated, so it made for long drives daily. Other than that we loved it!

10.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed staying in this house. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, private backyard, nice front deck and laundry facilities. It was great that they had beach items to use: chairs, umbrella, cooler.

10.0 / 10.0

This property is wonderful! Exactly as advertised, super clean, well-stocked....perfect. We used the Tommy Bahama sand chairs, umbrella and cooler every day. Kitchen has wonderful knives, pans, dishes, and there are fluffy soft towels throughout the house. Washer/dryer with detergent and dryer sheets provided were extremely useful given our 10 days, the Kauai humidity and days at the beach. We even used the clothesline. All the cleaning supplies and spices/condiments were appreciated There was even small amounts of sun screen and aloe left in the laundry area, which we really appreciated. There is a nice Weber BBQ for grilling. They have truly thought of everything! The front bedroom does NOT have air conditioning, so sleeping with that door open is almost required, but all bedrooms, living room and dining room have super nice ceiling fans that work great! WE LOVED OUR STAY!

10.0 / 10.0

Nice, well maintained, well appointed place on south side of the island. Quiet neighborhood, across from the shoreline. Close to south side attractions. Recommended.

8.0 / 10.0

Loved the cottage itself. Neighbors were great especially Lala the furry friend. Kitchen was well stocked (except for measuring cups🙂🙂), felt like the appliances were brand new, knives were sharp. The kitchen both a drip coffee maker and a bodum which fit our needs perfectly. The stove did not have an exhaust fan. The bedroom with the day was needed drawer storage and a small table. Master bedroom was great enough storage. Plenty of hangers! Just a personal preference but the shower heads would have been easier if it was a fixed shower head. Cottage itself was wonderful. The air conditioning units and were strategically placed. They worked fine and was sufficient to cool the whole house. Loved the ceiling fans. We liked being able to walk across the street to the water. Enjoyed sitting out on the porch. Enjoyed having washer/dryer. Property manager was easy to work with. Left clear instructions and utilized the books about Kauai. They were very helpful. Chicken Barrel was a fun place to eat and hang out. Loved Jojo’s shaved ice. We went there twice!!! Market is also close by. We even went to a farmers market by the community college to get fresh vegetables! We explored the entire island and did 4 hikes! Poipu was our favorite because we were able to see the sea turtles come to rest at dusk!

4.0 / 10.0

I explicitly stated that I needed a place that was accessible. I knew there were stairs in the front but I thought the back led directly into the house. And I thought there were only 3 stairs in the front. Turns out there were 6 stairs in the front and back which made getting in and out of the house almost impossible. Perhaps this was a misunderstanding on the part of the broker but it seriously affected my stay. I also thought the photos were deceiving and made the beach and ocean appear a lot closer than it actually was. The house was clean and pleasant but my trip was ruined because of the accessibility issue.

10.0 / 10.0

The property had all the amenities needed, washer, dryer, lots of towels for beach and bathing. My Mom liked it was across the street from a church. Comfortable beds, air conditioning in living room and two larger bedrooms. We were able to fix meals fully stocked kitchen with cooking utensils. It was far enough out from Poipu to escape the traffic, but close enough that we were able to get there quickly. Lots of places to visit on the South end of the island and the sunsets were easily seen from the Hwy. There was three of us but plenty of room for 6. Will consider renting this cottage again in the future.

10.0 / 10.0

Exactly as listed. Abundant appliances and supplies. We never needed to contact anyone. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

Our family of five stayed here for a little over a week and found it to be perfectly situated to give us access to the beach, hiking, and enjoying quiet together as a family. The open layout provided space to eat, play games, and relax together. With three bedrooms, the common area space, and outdoor seating on the lanai, everyone had a place to retreat on their own.

10.0 / 10.0

Return renter. Love this house. Seems like my home away from home. Near enough to the beach (walking distance) to go watch the sunrises and sunsets, plus beachcombing when the tides are out. Bedding and cooking utensils are all there except for the automatic rice cooker :-) had to go old school and cook on the stove. Hoping to be be back there again in another 3-4 years. Note: the vehicle in the garage did take away parking space (especially when the school people parked in front of the house), because we had a couple of rental vehicles between us 5 siblings.
