This Kekaha beach cottage is directly across the street from the ocean. It was part of a small group of homes designed by renowned architect, Hart Wood, circa 1938, in a neighborhood concept that he called a "garden village". It's a simple layout that pairs well with Kauai's active lifestyle, and takes full advantage of the trade winds for climate control. You'll experience magnificent views of miles and miles of ever-changing seascape and the Forbidden Island of Ni'ihau. This is a surf and sun lover's paradise. For many residents, daily life revolves around ocean activities, whether that is surfing, beach combing for shells or fishing, there is something for everyone - even if it's just watching sunset from one of the best locations in town - this property's front yard. The home has been extensively renovated including, plumbing, electrical, and new windows, so you'll have a clean slate to come up with your own design ideas and enhancements. Special Features:Renovated kitchen, bathroom & fixturesNewer water heater, washer/dryer & refrigeratorCustom tile shower surround Therapeutic massaging Jet bathtubPet friendly fully fenced yard Newly painted both inside and outPlumbing and electrical upgradesLava rock exterior accents Front & back covered lanais for outdoor BBQsSecurity screen doorsStorage roomPlenty of room for a boat (fishermen launch their boats from nearby Kikiaola small boat harbor)

You can see the ever changing seascape for miles and the island of Niihau, beyond. You will never have a dull moment as you arrange yourself in a hammock and soak up the aquatic beauty before you. This is an authentic plantation cottage designed by Hartwood in the 1950s.
