Two Legal Dwellings on a corner lot:4463 Makaha Rd and 1038 Kealoha Rd. Classic Plantation Era beach house and cottage on Kauai’s “Coconut Coast. ” This property is situated in one of the island’s most beloved neighborhoods, known for the charm of houses built back to the 1930’s as well as its quiet location off the beaten track. The homes are one block from “Baby Beach”, a favorite for families due to its protective reef. The 2bd/2ba Makaha house was built in the early 1930’s and while upgraded periodically over the years it still retains many of the original built-in features, French doors, front and rear lanais and more. The kitchen and bathrooms have been modernized and interior wood paneling added throughout. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off the salt water before entering your home. The 1bd/1ba Kealoha cottage is completely separate from the main house and has also been remodeled with upgrades over the years, most recently in 2021. There is a full kitchen with granite counters, a bath with travertine floors, and an on-demand hot water heater. The cottage has its own privacy fence, perfect for pets, with gates that can be locked for security. The property is Zoned R-20 making it possible to add another dwelling unit. The seller has already installed a second water meter and placed the septic tank strategically to allow for possible additions, remodeling, CPR, etc. Check with the appropriate county agencies. The property is walking distance to the Li'i (small boat harbor) and the coastline walking/multi-use path aka The Ke Ala Hele Makalae. Numerous restaurants and shopping are also within walking distance. Nature and convenience in one package. The set-up of the existing house and cottage offers many dwelling options:extended family use, live in one house and rent the other. New roofs in May 2026.

Ko'olau, located between the Wailua River and Ke Ala Hele Makalae, is a residential and coastal Kapaa neighborhood with a trade-wind feel and a bike-and-beach rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kūhiō Highway corridor near Kapaa Beach Park, where shave-ice counters, plate-lunch windows, and surf shops set a salt-air tempo. Plantation-era cottages and low-slung island homes mix with newer townhome clusters, often framed by palms and mountain views toward the Ko'olau Range. Morning routines track the shoreline path, while afternoons pivot to river lookouts and small-town storefronts. Pillars of local culture include the Kapaa Art Gallery, the open-air Kapaa Farmers Market, and the historic Kapaa Missionary Church.
