About this house rental
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.

Nele Nest is an absolutey wonderful Home and has everything you need. The house is located near to some nice beaches for swimming, surfing or simply have a relaxed look at the beautiful sunset’s. It’s a short drive to Wimea Canyon. Our family really enjoyed the stay at Nele Nest and say „Mahalo“ to Melissa.

This is a beautiful, well cared for, well loved home. The king size bed was very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the location was accessible to everything we had planned. Truly enjoyed our stay!

This home is a hidden gem! The house is hidden from the road but consider this a plus. The directions are spot on. The host was always responsive. The back yard is well maintained and private but close enough that you can still hear the ocean waves. Breakfast on the lanai every morning was wonderful. The interior of the house is charming. We had all of the amenities - the hosts went out of their way to make sure no detail was overlooked. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have lawn chairs and beach towels. Overall, a wonderful experience. If we ever get back to Kauai, we would definitely book the NeNe Nest again.

My mother and I flew to Kauaʻi for the first time and this Kekaha cottage was a warm and welcoming place for us to stay. The home is charming, clean and thoughtfully put together, you can feel the pride and care in every detail. It was also a nice surprise to learn that the cottage was featured in Tiny Homes Magazine, which speaks to its unique character.There were just two drawbacks for us. The location is on the far west side, so many of the places we visited ended up being a longer drive than expected. Also, the driveway is very narrow and we were a bit nervous maneuvering in and out because we didn’t want to damage the property or the newly planted hibiscus.Even with those small challenges, we’re grateful for the privilege of staying here. It’s a beautiful, peaceful and cozy home, perfect for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the quiet side of Kauaʻi.
