About this property

Hawaiian Plantation Style Cottage In Resort Location

"Kuku's Nest" is a beautiful tropical home not just another rental. This condo is a large, remodeled, one bedroom accommodating two guests, ground floor unit, with full kitchen, luxury vinyl and tile floors, stainless appliances, fresh tropical colors, granite counters, new furnishings, two flat screen smart TVs, California king bed, sofa, and free wifi. The condo has a beautiful new tile and stone shower. Other upgrades include doors throughout, kitchen cabinetry, flooring, furnishings and installation of a full size range. This cottage includes an actual dining area, rather than the bar seating common to other units in the complex. With the ceiling fans and coastal breezes, the air conditioning is rarely needed. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the sunrise on the lanai accessed from the living and bedroom. The lanais overlook a coconut grove tropical garden, and one of three property pools.

Plantation Hale consistently brings in great reviews for one of the best places on the island to stay. Property amenities include whirlpool spas, barbecues, clean convenient laundry facilities, and open air lobby . Kuku’s Nest is in the “H” building, near a short walking path, through a field, to tranquil Waipouli Beach. Accessible parking is located right outside the condo cottage and the ground floor location makes this cottage convenient for those with walking or mobility limitations.

Kuku's Nest is nestled in the home of Ancient Hawaiian Royalty. Located in Wailua on Kauai’s Coconut Coast it is a short walk to many area beaches, shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The newly completed coastal walking / biking path provides the opportunity to keep your vehicle parked, or within a 5 minute drive you can kayak or stand-up paddle the Wailua River, hike Sleeping Giant, visit several of the island’s best waterfalls, enjoy a luau & gardens, snorkel or swim at Lydgate's tide pools, and much more. Wailua is half way between the jungles of the North Shore and the nearly always sunny Southern Coast making a perfect base for exploring.

WHY CHOOSE THIS PROPERTY:
The Coconut Coast has always been what we consider the best place on the island to serve as a home away from home. It is half way from the North and South shores, and has a good combination of local 'real Hawaiian' life as well as vacation 'destination spots'. Kapaa Town is our favorite area for shopping , restaurants, walking and biking. It has the convenience of having grocery stores, farmer's market, banks and a post office in the immediate area The complex sits along the ocean (Makai) side of the road and is an easy walk to the Coconut Marketplace, restaurants (Hukilau Lanai, Sleeping Giant Grill, Chicken in a Barrel Barbecue, Lava Lava Beach Club) as well as grocery stores, two coffee shops (yes, including Starbucks), and many activities. These units always get great reviews from travelers and we have been very impressed with the management and maintenance staff.

Excerpts from reviews found on the former listing for KuKu's Nest include:
Leoc:
...The condo was central to all the things we wanted to do in Kauai and just made traveling around the island so easy. We had our two boys ages 5 and 3 with us, and we all fit comfortably in the condo....
Ken H:
...The condo was clean and had boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach towels and beach chairs....Staff at Plantation Hale are very friendly, always busy with maintenance, cleaning, and keeping the grounds spotless. We usually ate breakfast and BBQ'd supper at the condo and ate lunch at restaurants so this saved us lots of money...
Trudy H.
We spent nine nights here and it was just what we needed for our stay in Kauai. There were boogie boards, snorkel gear, towels, a fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the nearby hot tub the day we were flying out. It was all very comfortable and convent. Nice central location for getting anywhere on the island. Mahalo
Layton L.
Was really pleased with the condo, especially since I had friends staying in the neighboring unit, who's unit were much more basic than Kuku's Nest. Really enjoyed the access to the pool from the back yard and the other pools weren't far away either. Parking was a breeze and I usually walked to other friends staying in neighboring properties...
Victoria L.
My husband and I spent. a week here and we just wish we could have stayed longer. The condo was very well-stocked and had everything we needed from cookware to snorkels. As first timers in Kauai, its central location was especially nice, since it was easy for us to travel all over the island (and we did!)...
GavinI
just spent 12 nights in this Condo and it was the best of the six different condos I have stayed in on the East-side. It had everything you needed to feel at home and the staff were all friendly and helpful and I would recommend this place to anyone who is reading this. The location is perfect and is walking distance to many places to eat and buy groceries which was great. This will be the first place I will try to book the next time I come back to Kauai.
Ken H.
We had a great month in Kuku's Nest. Condo had everything you need, beach chairs, boogie board and fins, beach towels- place was clean on arrival, check-in was easy. We used the BBQ's lots over the month to save on food costs. There is road noise during the day but it is not that bad...
Crystal W.
Kuku's nest was the best place for our family to live on our week's vacation to kauai! Clean, comfy, great location...

Plantation Hale
I had a wonderful relaxing vacation.Really nice unit close to the pool. Did not swim at the nearby beach (thank you for the heads up) as it is dangerous due to lava rock.It is great for watching the waves and reading.I cook when I go on vacation,but not this time.I enjoyed a few breakfasts to the north at Walpoli restaurant and my dinners were great at the Coconut Market shops. Also tried Chicken in a Barrel.Longs drug store great for snacks and even wine & liquor.Enjoyed Hawaiian wine all week.I want to thank my hosts for excellent communication. They even provided me with good information pertaining to my swim attire at the pool. I am a life long swimmer and I wear "thong" style mens suits I had no problems at the pool and even got a compliment from 4 young ladies that liked my outfit.I am so happy with my nearly total tan.Hope to return someday as the fight is so long to/from Phoenix and then to Philadelphia

Fun week on Kauai
Great location with a short walk to the beaches, shopping and restaurants. A few confusing issues when first checked were quickly resolved by host. Be aware there is no dishwasher and pay washer/dryer are just down the hall. Condo is well furnished with no real issues with appliances, furniture, bathroom, etc. Definitely recommended.

Perfect Location for our Kauai Vacation
We were very satisfied with our stay at Plantation Hale. We had a beach right across the street where we could walk in the mornings. We could walk to Coconut Grove for dinner or a little shopping or to Long Drugs. There was a pool so close to our location and we never had trouble finding a place to park. The condo itself was pretty much as described. I would have liked to have had a few extra towels, but we made do and appreciated the helpfulness and friendliness of all those we met and the cleanliness of the condo.

About the host

Hosted by Terri and Tom Morse

Host profile image
Hello - We are Tom Morse and Terri Smith-Morse. We have been married for over 20 years and share our California home with our adopted shelter dogs (AnnMarie and Henry), our yellow collared macaw (Valentino), and our desert tortoise (T-Bone). We enjoy a variety of outdoor activities including outrigger canoeing, walking and biking. Kauai is the perfect second home for us. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We first fell in love with Kauai shortly ofter we were married and after hurricane Iniki ravaged this beautiful island over 20 years ago. After several visit to all of the Hawaiian islands, we knew we wanted to be a part of the beauty of Kauai . The natural beauty of Kauai along with the warmth of her people kept drawing us back. When we decided to buy a place, we knew it had to be here - the very same complex we first visited all those years ago.

What makes this property unique

Kuku's Nest is centrally located on the island of Kauai. It is a quick 20 minute drive to the Lihue Airport and its central location makes it easy to get anywhere on the island in short order. The local beaches provide breathtaking views of the daily sunrise and Kappa Town has many opportunities for shopping and dining in a quaint small town setting.
