About this listing
Wake up to gorgeous Wailua Homesteads sunrises from your own private lanai, coffee in hand, birdsong in the trees, and room to spread out across three distinct living spaces. Facing due east, this home catches warm morning sun, afternoon shade, and cool breezes all year. A private stairwell leads up to the main level: a comfortable 2BR/1BA home with its own front lanai for morning coffee and sunrise views. Step out of the primary suite onto a second lanai tucked between the main house and the bonus room above the carport. The upstairs room has its own bathroom and private entrance, ideal for guests, extended family, or a home office. Downstairs, the third bedroom offers its own bathroom and separate access. Three distinct living spaces mean real versatility, room for family or guests, or space to spread out with a central location close to Kapaa and Lihue, in the established Kauai Gardens subdivision. Park with ease under the 4-car carport, with extra storage below the upper deck. Owned solar water heater and a leased Sunrun PV system with Tesla Home Powerwalls (transferable to qualified Buyers) help keep energy costs down. Active Terminix pest control contract in place. Well maintained and thoughtfully added onto over the years on an 8,297 SF lot, minutes from hiking trails, beaches, and Kapaa conveniences.

What's around this listing
Restaurant
Wailua Country Store
Renovated country store serving hearty breakfast burritos, organic bagels, and Friday cake slices that draw a steady local crowd.
Hike
Kuilau Ridge Trail
A moderately challenging 4.4-mile ridge hike on Kauai's east side takes you through lush jungle to panoramic views of Mount Waialeale and the Makaleha Mountains. The gradual incline makes it more accessible than other ridge trails while delivering an authentic tropical adventure.
Attraction
Lydgate Farms
This fifth-generation family farm above Kapa'a grows award-winning cacao, vanilla, and produces honey. Their famous three-hour chocolate tour includes botanical garden walks, tropical fruit tastings, and learning about bean-to-bar chocolate making. Everything is hand-harvested and processed on this 46-acre property.
Waterfall
Opaekaa Falls
Experience the beauty of 150-foot Opaekaa Falls without breaking a sweat. This roadside wonder on Kauai's east side offers stunning waterfall views directly from your car, making it perfect for families. Named for the "rolling shrimp" once found in these waters, it's an accessible stop worth your time.
Attraction
Poli'ahu Heiau
Step into ancient Hawaii at this sacred heiau overlooking the Wailua River. Built by the legendary Menehune, Poli'ahu offers powerful spiritual energy and stunning valley views. Part of Kauai's National Historic Landmark complex, this 165-by-242-foot temple site invites respectful exploration of Native Hawaiian culture and centuries-old traditions.
Waterfall
Secret Falls (Uluwehi Falls)
This 100-foot waterfall combines the best of both worlds—a scenic kayak journey up Wailua River followed by a jungle hike through flourishing tropical plants. The reward is a stunning cascade with a perfect swimming hole where you can cool off after your adventure.
