Eleele Salt Pond Beach Hotels

"View was wonderful with a bonus of having sea turtles in the bay below. One downside was the unit is on the end next to the road so when outside you can hear people drive by. Bed was comfortable, living space was roomy, and the shower head was wonderful after a beach day. "

"Beautiful,special location with lovely cottages. Feels like what Kauai must have felt like 75 years ago. "

"Cute cottage, good options for cooking or eating away at a restaurant. Within walking distance to groceries, coffee and restaurants. Nearby beach with beach gear provided. Responsive site managers too. Outdoor shower and tub made the stay more convenient with two couples. "

"This home took our breath away! The orientation of it sitting on the south shore almost quite literally on the ocean allowed us to start each day watching the sun rise and end the day enjoying the sun setting.We saw dolphins and whales from the pool!The house has a ton of space and lots of areas to retreat to if guests need some solitude.The kitchen was well stocked with spices and kitchen appliances; we made several large family meals with no hassle. There are two dishwashers so clean up was a breeze. The basement stored lots of water toys , rafts, SUPs, long board, to enjoy in the pool or ocean. Such a nice touch! The cons of this house are few and would be: too many light switches (like 100s!) and decor is a bit dated. The host was very responsive; when the refrigerator wasn't getting cool enough they sent someone out to fix it (only need to be reset) right away. Beautiful home in paradise!"

"Had a great stay. Enough room to sleep 6 of us with plenty of room in the kitchen and living room. Outside living was great. Lots of seating and a beautiful view. Even had everyday visits from some 4 legged fur friends (cats) and some not so much friends (chickens). Saw dolphins jumping from the back yard.House had beach toys and towels which was great to not have to worry about.Only minor complaint was the window air conditioners in the main house bedrooms were loud."

"This is a wonderful, wonderful spot! You hear the water…watch boarding from your deck. Beautiful home…vintage…I love fixed up vintage! You won’t be disappointed."

"My wife and I stayed at Kai Nalu with two of our adult sons and daughter-in-laws. It was very accommodating for our ohana gathering. We had 3 rental vehicles between us. There was plenty of parking for all. The kitchen and front room were big enough and well-equipped for family style cooking and meals. The washer and dryer were great and in use every day. Each couple had their own bathroom which was a huge plus. The location is excellent. Most mornings we gathered as a family on the backyard beach to watch the Kauai sunrise. Hearing the waves crashing on the beach morning and night added a touch of perfection to our vacation. Shopping, food and shave ice were all a short walk away. The neighbors on either side were very kind and friendly. For Kauai standards, this is a very large, roomy home. We didnt even have to use the 4th bedroom and bathroom. We were very pleased with our choice. If you're staying in Waimea, this is an excellent choice for family/large group accommodations. If i had to choose between the Waimea Plantation Cottages and Kai Nalu, I'd choose Kai Nalu every time! Mahalo!!!"

"Beautiful home full of character and charm. Perfect representation for Kauai "

"Pool needs to be cleaned more frequently. Several issues with enough hot water for showers in this size home. "
