Hawaiian Charm..Just Steps From The Ocean..On Kauai's Sunny W Side * TVNC4216

PROPERTY OVERVIEW:

House, 2 Bedrooms, 1.25 Baths, (Sleeps 4)

The Nene Nest, Kauai is a classic, sugar plantation- style cottage located on the always sunny West Side of Kauai. Just 152 steps from the ocean, it offers a true Hawaii feel.

Designed with a 'slow' pace in mind, our hope is that you enjoy every part of your stay; sipping coffee on the updated lanai in the mornings with a book in hand, or by relaxing on the beach surrounded by sunshine and ocean breezes on the beautiful garden isle of Kauai.

This charming authentic island cottage was featured in Tiny Homes Magazine and in the 'Love Shacks: Romantic cabin charmers, modern getaways and rustic retreats around the world' coffee table book and we can't wait for you to experience it!

THE SPACE:

Completely restored and remodeled, it features a new fully-equipped kitchen, new bath, two spacious bedrooms, comfortable living room, lanai, bedroom air conditioning and landscaped garden. Its nine and a half foot ceilings, giant airy windows, original crown moldings and wainscoting, original wood floors, and tropical ceiling fans in each room give you the feeling of 'paradise of old.'

THE AREA:

The home is in Kekaha, the sunniest area of Kauai boasting the longest white sand beach in the Hawaiian Islands. This is true Hawaii, away from the tourist-filled beaches and stores, where church services and grocery-store conversations are still heard in the Hawaiian language. Yet great restaurants, grocery, farmers market, shops, art galleries, and great Kauai outdoor activities are minutes away. Kekaha is at the doorway to Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, famous for its hiking opportunities and vistas of the Napoli coastline.

THE PERFECT WEST SIDE LOW-KEY DAY:

Awake for coffee on the garden lanai.
Drive two minutes and take a morning walk on the longest white sand beach on Kauai.
Stop for lunch at the Lodge at Kokee before an invigorating hike in Waimea Canyon.
Wash off your hiking muscles in the outdoor hot shower.
Stroll two doors down to the ocean, cocktail in hand, to watch the island’s best sunset.
Prepare a light supper in the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen.
Then sleep peacefully in your pillow-top king and queen beds.

Kauai Vacation
We enjoyed our time at the Nene Nest. The location was perfect for us with spectacular hiking, beaches and boat ride up the Na Pali coast very convenient. The sunsets from the porch and close by beach were great.

Flawless Escape
We were so tempted to keep this gem all to ourselves and not write a review—such a perfect little hideaway it is! From the moment we stepped in, it felt like we'd stumbled upon our own slice of paradise. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, creating an ambiance that whispered relaxation and bliss. It's the kind of place you dream about returning to before you've even left, where memories linger long after the stay is over. Honestly, sharing this feels like revealing a well-kept secret, but exceptional experiences like this deserve to be celebrated.

Slice of paradise in Kauai
Melissa and Kyle have created a beautiful cottage to relax and enjoy Kauai's beauty! The well equipped cottage is a two minute walk to the beach, a short drive to explore Waimea Canyon, and just about an hour to the other side of the island. Plenty to do and their recommendations on food was spot on!

The hosts have a charming home in a quiet neighborhood. They have lots of extras that made our stay comfortable. We could hear the ocean while sitting on the lanai.

Perfect house for staying on southern Kauai
My wife, son, and I really enjoyed staying in this rental. Everything was clean and the check in instructions were easy. Everything in the rental was in great working order. The AC in both bedrooms helped us for the first few nights as we acclimated to the 70 - 80 degree weather. 10/10!
