County of Kauai Vacation Rental License # TVNC 1100 - State of Hawaii Business Registration #s GE-058-798-3360-01 & TA-058-798-3360-01 - 24 hr. contact: Keenan Driver @ 808-639-0772 (For emergencies ONLY…please contact property manager by e mail for reservations.
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.
The Kala Beach Cottage is an authentic Kekaha Sugar Plantation Managers Cottage. Lovingly restored with integrity by a professional interior designer, this cottage gives you the obvious sense of classic Hawaii living. Other amenities of this charming cottage include a private enclosed back yard and covered patio, giving the option for outdoor entertaining and/or sunbathing. Enjoy OCEAN VIEWS from the front lanai, and a brief 1 minute walk will take you to the ocean and stretches of sparkling white sand for 15 miles without a house. Here the reef comes onshore and provides protected pools for calm water and swimming. This is an ideal place for children to safely enjoy the water.
At the base, and within minutes of the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific', the WAIMEA CANYON offers sunny cool weather which is ideal for hiking the many miles of trails through varied native forests and canyon views. You can hike to the cliffs of the NA PALI COAST, often reaching 4000 feet, and see spectacular views of the jagged shoreline and deeply carved valleys where the first Hawaiians lived.
Another option is a 5 mile drive to POLIHALE BEACH STATE PARK, where wide stretches of sand for up to seven miles meet the Na Pali Coast. Here you will find a beach, framed with dunes of up to 100 feet and some of the most beautiful blue water you will see in Hawaii. At end of the beach, near the Na Pali cliffs, you will find showers, bathrooms, and pavilions. This is the place to escape and dry out in the sun on those days where clouds and rain obscure the sun, especially on the north and east shores in the Winter. This is an uncrowded treasure for beach and nature lovers.
This is the sunny westside of Kauai, where rain rarely occurs, and sunny mornings with cobalt blue skies are common. Why gamble your vacation by staying on the North Shore, where rain is constantly replenishing the lush green forests, and sunny days can be infrequent in the Winter months?
Why stay at the Waimea Plantation Cottages, where a 'garden view' cottage starts at $275 per night, when you can have the ultimate privacy of your own beach cottage within a few steps of white sand beaches that go on forever? This side of the island guarantees you an amazing end to each day, offering the opportunity to see a SIZZLING SUNSET over the Pacific Ocean. You may even see the 'green flash'! This is a sweet spot that is affordable when compared to other Kekaha options.
Bring your sunscreen and an umbrella.... you will need it...... because the sun shines here!

This was a comfortable place to stay away from all the people and traffic. We loved the extra shower to shower off the sand without taking up the only bathroom. The sunsets across the road were beautiful. We loved sitting on the beach each night watching the sun go down. The only issue with the house was it was very hot. There are air conditioners in the bedrooms so we slept comfortably but the rest of the house was warm. We weren’t there much during the day so it wasn’t much of an issue for us. The house was well stocked. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thank you for sharing your property with us

The house was perfect. My daughter said the size and floor plan for the 2 of us was perfect, would like the same setup in our town in California. All the essentials, easy to keep clean and organized, had our own personal space. The area is us, from a smalltown rural community fit us to a tee. We loved the islands chickens, not as much as most I presume. Every night a frog was in the backyard with his long legs and nosey stare. Maybe he was checking if I too was still there. A welcome nightly sight before bed. It truly is a wonderful place stay on the beautiful dry westside of the island. Some of the best activities are in close proximity without having to go to the larger towns. We loved Hanalei and beyond. Beautiful drive but......a long haul You won't be disappointed with this property. Communication with Scott, when needed was punctual and resolved.

Low key location in a small Hawaiian town in a real neighbourhood. Just a block from the ocean.
We’ve never stayed in a vacation rental that was so well appointed in terms of furnishings and kitchen needs, and well stocked bathroom cabinet with everything from Advil to Aloe Gel.
As someone who loves to cook and bake, I appreciated the quality of the pots and the quantity and choice of bakeware. Once we figured out the gas range, very impressed with its reliability!
Good reading selection ( “Aloha Rodeo”!), as well as cards, tennis racquets and balls, even 5 lb weights.
Quiet place from which to explore the beautiful island of Kauai.

Just what my family needed. A bit off the beaten path, an excellent home and yard with walking to quiet beach. Easy access to excellent hiking too. Great rental!

We loved this little house! It was the perfect sized beach house with a beautiful back yard, equipped with an hammock and an orange tree but we saw a few spiders so keep your eye out!the geckos were a fun addition and such a short walking distance to the ocean, that you can see from the front porch! I sat and had coffee listening to the waves every morning! Our host was very responsive and the lawn/garbage man was very nice! I would definitely stay here again!

House had everything we needed - 2 adults 9 yo 2.5 yo and 8 mo old.
It was nice to be in a neighborhood away from the main hustle and bustle, with access to Waimea just minutes away. Driving to other places around the island was simple and it was nice to come back to a cozy place.
The road noise and neighborhood noise was minimal - some chickens and dogs as to be expected and the occasional loud car but nothing like other "city" living I've done.
Communication with the hosts didnt need to be done while there, but every communication before our arrival was prompt and helpful.
I would definitely stay here again if given a chance.

We loved this place. Lots of nice personal touches that didn't make the house feel institutional at all. Beds were comfortable, great backyard, cozy. Felt at home here. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our time at this nice little house. It was very thoughtfully stocked and nicely maintained - which can be hard when so close to the ocean. Like others have mentioned, it's on kind of a busy corner but certainly wouldn't stop me from staying here again!

Great location for adventures and away from resorts, this cottage was the perfect place. After hiking in Koke'e and Weimea Parks and getting pummeled by waves at local Kekaha Beach or stunning Polihale, kids would wash off in the warm outdoor showers (while mom was in the clawfoot tub). One block walk to the beach to watch sunsets, and a front porch with view of the ocean for bringing in and out the day. Backyard including orange tree that we fresh-squeezed into juice every morning. Beach chairs, umbrella, snorkle gear, body board, guide books, blender, toaster, ice maker, AC in bedrooms, etc... Just perfect simple neighborhood place.

Enjoy the location of the property close to the beach. The walking distance was also convenient to just walk to the beach. Very quiet.

My wife and I (in our early 60s) found this to be a very pleasant, affordable cottage for two within a 5 minute walk of the beach. While not luxurious, it was very comfortable and we would definitely consider staying here again.
We enjoyed the quiet of being far from the big luxury resorts and slept comfortably. The home was furnished with all you could hope to find; the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could want if you wished to cook at home. The outdoor shower was welcome after a day at the shore.
We found ourselves (along with other residents and tourists) walking daily the few steps to the beach to enjoy each evening’s sunset. We found the school across the street to be quiet and the neighborhood peaceful.
Newcomers to Kauai May find it a bit far to the various tourist attractions, especially Hanalei Bay. But we found it a charming home away from home on the drier southern side of the island.

I stayed here for a two week work trip. The house was in close proximity to the base which was really nice. The backyard was a little oasis with a hammock. The house was very comfortable.
