This is not resort Kauai, rather a more natural, sun-filled side of the island—where the pace slows, the coastline opens up, and life revolves around the ocean, the land, and the rhythm of the day.
Waimea By The Sea sits directly along the shoreline in a boutique 10-unit oceanfront community, offering a simpler, more grounded way to experience Kauai. For those drawn to nature, adventure, and space to breathe, this fee simple, fully furnished 2-bedroom condo offers a lifestyle that feels both accessible and deeply connected.
Inside, 936 square feet of living space opens to a 202 square foot lanai with expansive views of the Pacific and Niihau. The layout is open and functional, designed to keep the focus outward. The lanai becomes your everyday living space—morning coffee with ocean air, afternoons shaped by the water, and evenings defined by sunsets.
The coastline here reflects the island itself—shaped by natural flows from the mountains to the sea. It’s dynamic, real, and ever-changing. A short drive down the coast, the shoreline transitions to classic white sand and clearer blue water, offering contrast and variety without losing proximity.
The condo is designed for ease, with a full-size washer and dryer, interior storage, and two assigned parking stalls, including one covered with a private storage locker. The community includes a beachfront pool, cabana, and tropical landscaping, all within a low-density setting that feels open and unhurried.
Located in Waimea Town, one of Kauai’s most historically significant communities, the property offers walkable access to local dining, shops, and everyday services. This part of the island is known for sunshine, ocean access, and proximity to outdoor adventure—from shoreline exploration to boating and hiking.
For those seeking something beyond the expected, Waimea By The Sea #309 offers oceanfront living that feels authentic, grounded, and connected to the natural beauty of Kauai.
