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. ***

We had an incredible stay in Waimea. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked and we felt like we had a private beach, watching the sunset every night was a highlight and even though the water isn’t good for swimming our kids loved playing along the waters edges.The location is walking distance to a number of lunch and dinner spots great for takeout and it’s easy access to the Waimea Canyon. This area is not very touristy, more residential and quiet at night. Highly recommend for folks looking for an experience away from resorts and busy beaches.

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.

Even better than the photos!

This VRBO was everything we hoped for and more! The location was unbeatable—right on the beach, with stunning ocean views and just a short walk to restaurants and shops. The place itself was even better than the photos. Super clean and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into the details, making it feel like a true home away from home.If you're looking for the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience in Hawaii, this is the spot. Already dreaming of coming back!

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).

The wonderful Kai Nalu House

This is a beautiful well kept property. 7 in our party and no complaints from anyone. Nice beach for walking, jogging, but you cannot swim there and even wading is difficult due to slope of the sand. Waema the town is only 3 blocks from the house with gasoline, 2 stores and various little shops and eateries. 1 bank and 1 credit union. Enjoyed our stay. Would stay again.

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.
