Wailua Riverside Cottage, a perfect place to experience the real Kauai in a residential setting with peek views of the Wailua River and located a block from Wailua Beach made famous by Elvis Presley starring in the movie Blue Hawaii when he and his New Bride rode horses on Wailua Beach!

Wailua Riverside is a tree top cottage, furnished Hawaiiana style, fully equipped kitchen, one bedroom with a memory foam queen bed, sitting room with a full size sofa sleeper; as well as, a covered lanai offering outdoor dining. Wailua Beach is a block away and the sound of ocean waves hitting the beach will lull you to sleep each night. From your bed or lanai, watch as breathtakingly beautiful pink skies form through swaying coconut trees at sunrise.

Special Features!

2 Single Kayaks

1 Double Kayak** - orange/yellow*

All fully equipped, you can take them right off the dock just steps from the Hideaway. *Value: $80-$100 per couple. Note: A double kayak was purchased, a orange yellow Lifetime Spitfire Tandem Kayak.

Amenities: Netflix and Prime Apps, coffee maker, linens, washer / dryer, gas BBQ grill, beach gear including snorkels, fins, beach chairs, coolers, beach towels. An added bonus is air conditioning, making a vacation in the warmer months more enjoyable.

Located at the Sacred Wailua River, where only the ancient Hawaiian Royalty were allowed to visit, Wailua Riverside is a two minute walk to an awesome eight-mile shoreline of uncrowded, sandy beaches. You are steps from a dock where you can launch your own kayak unto the Wailua River to explore and find the trail to Secret Waterfalls, one the top 10 things to do on Kauai. Water skiing, Wakeboarding, and Speed Boating are also available from the same dock.

Within a mile you will find: Wailua Beach, Ancient Hawaiian ruins; a Hawaiian village; Opaeka’a Falls; Lydgate Park offering protected ocean swimming, a 2.2 mile jogging trail and Smith’s Tropical Paradise offering one of the best island Luau’s. Grocery stores, souvenir shops and most of the island’s restaurants are available within a 3 mile radius. Further up the road is Kauai’s Hindu Monastery, an incredible place, set in an absolutely idyllic environment next to the Wailua River and a stupendous waterfall, a must see!

The airport is 6 miles away, the nearest town is Kapaa just one mile away and the road does not go all around the island which makes this property ideal. You can drive north or south and return to a location central to the island.

Minimum stay is 3 nights; except for Holidays, when there is a minimum stay of 7 nights.

Reg. No. TVNC 1293* this transient vacation rental is located in the tsunami evacuation zone. Evacuation instructions are located by the door in the unit.

Amazing Room and Accommodations
Candace went overboard in taking care of us. She was easy to get ahold of and listened to our needs. The room was amazing and the kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans. We had everything needed to fully cook any meal we wanted. She provided a free concierge service who took care of all of our excursions. We will definitely call her again for our next trip. Thank you Candace for an amazing place to enjoy our 25th anniversary. We didn't want to leave.

Honeymoon stay
We loved our stay in Kauai next to the Waimea river. If you stay here, book on a Saturday so you can take the kayaks out on the day there aren’t tourists around! The lanai was our favorite place; we spent every morning out there. Good functional amenities and a spacious house, plus lots of equipment like snorkels, sun hats, etc (though some of the equipment is well-loved). Clean bathroom and the rest of the house too - we didn’t think we’d use the laundry but it came in handy. You can’t really walk anywhere easily due to its location on a very busy road but it’s not far from some nice beaches and restaurants. The absolutely kind hosts made our stay a great one!

Wilua Riverside Hideaway
We had a wonderful stay next to the Wailua River! The Riverside hideaway had everything available for a perfect beach day or a paddle down the river. Enjoyed being in a residential area and really leaning into the rhythm of the Island. We will definitely stay here again!

Private and Perfect
Candace’s VRBO is exceptional. Quietly away from the bustle of a resort, but right on the river and close to all that Kapa’a has to offer. And Kapa’a is exceptional too, with lots to do locally and all of Kauai close whether you head north or south.

Romantic River Retreat
We loved everything about this property! Worth every penny for the water toys available to take the trip to secret falls. It was a great central location to explore the islands. We cooked all our dinners in the kitchen and loved having Kona coffee and breakfast on the rooftop deck with sunrise. No problems with check in or check out. My husband is a custom home builder/historic preservation contractor and we loved the cottage charm and furnishings. Mahalo Nui!

Better than expected
The place is in a peaceful, quiet, residential neighborhood right on the river and close to the beach. The paddle boards and kayaks were a lot of fun, and my husband loved the laid-back feel of the cottage and all the real wood. It was nicer than we expected. Candace was very sweet and helpful. We hope to stay here again.

Peaceful River Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this River Cottage! The check in process was effortless and the cottage was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed using the Kayaks and paddling to the Fern Grotto & Secret Falls. We loved cooking at the cottage and watching the sunset in the evenings. The neighbors were friendly and we would love to visit again.

Cozy river hideaway
This was the perfect little house off the beaten path. We loved the location steps from the dock and a short walk to the beach to watch the sunrise. Our favorite part was using the provided kayak to explore the River to check out the secret waterfall and fern grotto- both are not to be missed! We also spent a lot of time on the lanai which had a nice breeze throughout the day.

Gorgeous kayak paddle up the river, steps from the home
The river access home was a great place to launch our Kauai adventure! The clean, comfortable home gave us great access to the river to paddle on our own, without the fuss of rental or going with a tour group. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio surrounded by greenery. The location made adventure access to the rest of the island easy and convenient. Our very late in the evening arrival was welcomed and accommodated. Any questions were. answered quickly. The neighborhood was quiet, though there is a bit of road noise from the main road into through town. If we make it back to Kauai, we would love to stay again!

Wonderful time at Wailua Cottage!
We had the best time staying at Wailua Cottage!! The host, Candice, was welcoming and friendly, and the location was right on the river with good privacy. We loved kayaking on the Wailua river, and we even tried stand up paddle boarding while we were there! The location is right between Kapaa and Lihue, so there were many restaurants and destinations close by. We had a great time and can’t recommend it enough!! Thanks, Candice!
