Wailua Life | Kauai Island-Style Living

The Wailua Homesteads neighborhood in south Kapaa is popular for good reason. The iconic Sleeping Giant is readily accessible for hiking, and paddlesports and boating on the Wailua River are within easy reach. Wailua Beach is just minutes away. There is even a quaint country store for convenience and a neighborhood park with tennis courts, soccer fields, dog park, baseball fields, and a play structure. Major shopping in Lihue is a 10-15 minute drive, Kapaa town with its quaint boutiques and restaurants is less than 10 minutes, and you can reach both the north and south shores of Kauai within 45 minutes. It is centrally located on the island of Kauai.
