Waimea Beach Cottage by Destination Kauai - Charming 2BD, A/C, Walk to Ocean/Pier
10/10 Excellent
"The property itself was great. We loved the location, and the thoughtful amenities that the property managers put in place. It had everything we needed, and it was close to Waimea Canyon hiking trails, which was the main reason we chose this property. Although Waimea Canyon Lookout was open, and worth a visit, sadly all the trails on Waimea was closed for hiking on the last week of October, 2026. But we managed to find other activities with a little more driving. There is a great local grocery just 3 minutes walking distance, which was really convenient, and there are several eating establishments just minutes away also. Also, the nearest beach within walking distance is nice and has black sand, but you can't swim in it. Also the pier that was there was damaged by the recent hurricane, so you can't access it.I thought we had to go all the way to Poipu to find a swimming beach, but it turns out the Kehaka Beach which is just 6 minute drive away is really a great beach where you can also swim, fish and watch the sunset. We saw a lot of local folks boogie boarding, and there is a lifeguard station."
"Location good. Quiet area. Restaurants and food store nearby. Hotel clean and in good condition. There is an ocean view, however, from a distance. Communication for check-in and office is good. There is no housekeeping but you can get clean towels. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to ocean waves, watching sunsets, and various birds and chickens in area."
This magnificent, island-style estate truly exceeds all expectations.

"I would recommend this property and would love to stay here again. We brought my family and my father to celebrate his 97th birthday. We had plenty of room and the views are breathtaking and the beach is just a few steps away."
Ultimate Oceanfront Beach House - NEW "FULL HOUSE" Split A/C System -TVNCU #5005
10/10 Excellent
"This home provided a wonderfully peaceful environment for our six-day trip. Although the heavy rain kept us from doing as much outside, the house was a cozy sanctuary where we could comfortably relax and watch the weather over the water. The neighbors are very quiet, making it incredibly restful. As a quick tip for future guests: be sure to stock up on food and drinks at Costco or a similar store before settling in, as there are very few places to eat nearby"
