Kauai Real Estate
The Garden Isle
There is truly something magical about Kauai. It's the oldest and northernmost of the main Hawaiian Islands, and its thick rainforest, emerald valleys, waterfalls and serrated sea cliffs are why it's called the Garden Isle. It also has some of the most dramatic real estate for sale in the state.

Why Work With Eric and Lisa
Kauai Real Estate: Real Data and Straight Answers
When you're buying or selling on Kauai, you need more than someone to unlock doors and email you listings. You need to know what a property is really worth, what it's competing against, where you have leverage, and what could bite you after closing. That's the part we focus on.
More Than a Kauai MLS Search
You can search every active Kauai home, condo and land listing right here, straight from the MLS. That's where the work starts, not where it ends.
So instead of quoting you an island wide median, we can answer the questions that actually move your decision:
- What have comparable properties really sold for?
- How long did they take to sell?
- How far did sellers come down from their original asking price?
- What's competing with this property right now?
- How much inventory is out there at your price point?
- How does this building or neighborhood stack up against the alternatives?
That's what I want my clients to know before they write an offer or list a property.
A Hawaii Real Estate Family
This really is a family business. My wife Lisa is a licensed agent, and so are three of our sons, Colton, Ryan and Dylan.
Ready to buy next week or still years out? Either way, call or text me directly at 808-298-2030. No pressure and no pitch. Tell me the property, building or neighborhood you're looking at, and we'll start with the data.

Kauai Land for Sale
Vacant land on Kauai ranges from resort lots in Princeville to rural acreage on the East Side, farm and ranch parcels, and lots in the hills above the South Shore. Zoning, water and access vary a lot from one parcel to the next.
Kauai Real Estate by Region
Kauai is Hawaii's fourth largest island, roughly circular, with lush, mountainous country in the middle and beaches along much of its shoreline. It's home to about 73,000 people (2020 Census) and is separated into five main regions: the North Shore, the East Side (Coconut Coast), Lihue, the South Shore and the West Side.
North Shore: Princeville, Hanalei and Anini
Kauai's dramatic North Shore is full of rugged mountains, lush taro fields, beautiful beaches and spectacular sea cliffs. Historic Kilauea Lighthouse is a wildlife sanctuary and a great spot for whale watching. Hanalei town has stretches of green taro fields alongside colorful shops, galleries and restaurants, and nearby are Lumahai Beach, the setting for the film South Pacific, and Kee Beach. The North Shore is also home to the upscale resort community of Princeville, with some of Kauai's premier golf. Expect more rain up here, especially in winter.

East Side: Kapaa, Wailua and Anahola
Kauai's East Side is known as the Coconut Coast for the groves of coconut palms along its shore, and it's the most populated part of the island. In Wailua you can kayak the Wailua River, visit the Fern Grotto or Opaekaa Falls, and spot the Sleeping Giant in the Nounou Mountains. Kapaa town has Hawaiian crafts, aloha shirts, jewelry and art, and the beaches run from Lydgate Beach Park, with its lava rock enclosed pools for families and first time snorkelers, north to Kealia and Anahola.

Lihue
Lihue is the government and commercial center of Kauai, home to Lihue Airport and Nawiliwili Harbor, the island's main shipping port and cruise ship stop. Kalapaki Beach is popular for swimming and bodysurfing, Ninini Point has had a light station since 1897, and just north of town is the Wailua Falls lookout. Lihue's history runs deep too, from the roughly 1,000 year old Alekoko (Menehune) Fishpond to Kilohana plantation estate, the Kauai Museum and Grove Farm.

South Shore: Poipu, Koloa, Lawai and Kalaheo
The sunny South Shore is home to historic Old Koloa Town and the resort area of Poipu. Play a championship golf course, walk the Koloa Heritage Trail, or spend the day at Poipu Beach Park, once named one of America's best beaches. Nearby Spouting Horn shoots water 20 feet or more into the air, and the National Tropical Botanical Garden's McBryde and Allerton Gardens show why Kauai is called the Garden Isle. The Kauai Coffee farm is just a few miles west.

West Side: Hanapepe, Waimea and Kekaha
Go west and get off the beaten path. The West Side is home to Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, and beyond it Kokee State Park and the view from the Kalalau Lookout. The small towns of Waimea and Hanapepe grace this side of the island. Captain Cook first landed in the Hawaiian Islands at Waimea Bay in 1778, and a statue in Waimea town marks the event. Hanapepe is the art capital of Kauai, with galleries, shops and eateries lining its main street.

More About Kauai
Kauai has incredible opportunities to buy Hawaii beachfront and oceanfront homes, condos and vacant land. Centuries of growth have formed tropical rainforests, forking rivers and cascading waterfalls that make a backdrop for real estate unlike anywhere else. Kauai's wonder is best seen from above, so if you ever get the chance to fly over the island, do it.
From Waimea Canyon to the waterfalls and deep gorges of 5,148 foot Mount Waialeale in the island's uninhabited center, Kauai is one of the most scenic islands in Hawaii. Its most famous feature is the Na Pali Coast, about 17 miles of cliffs thousands of feet high with green valleys, towering waterfalls and hidden sea caves. You can see it by sea, by air, or by hiking the Kalalau Trail, with views from Kee Beach and the Kalalau Lookout.
Kayak the Wailua River, snorkel at Poipu Beach, hike the trails of Kokee State Park, or zipline above the valleys. But it's the island's laid-back pace and the culture of its small towns and one-lane bridges that make Kauai feel timeless.

Kauai Real Estate FAQ
What are the main areas of Kauai real estate?
Kauai is usually split into five regions. The North Shore covers Princeville, Hanalei and Anini. The East Side, or Coconut Coast, runs from Wailua through Kapaa to Anahola. Lihue is the island's government and commercial center. The South Shore covers Koloa, Poipu, Lawai and Kalaheo. The West Side covers Hanapepe, Waimea and Kekaha.
Should I buy a condo or a house on Kauai?
It comes down to how you'll use it. Condos in Princeville, Kapaa and Poipu are often the simplest second homes, with the association handling the grounds. A single family home or land gives you more privacy and control, but more upkeep. Tell us how you plan to use the property and we'll pull the recent sales for both.
Can I rent out a Kauai condo as a vacation rental?
It depends on the property's zoning, Kauai County rules, and the association's own rules. Don't assume a condo allows short term rentals because a neighbor rents theirs. Confirm with the County and the association in writing before you buy.
Which part of Kauai is the sunniest?
The South Shore around Poipu and the West Side are generally drier and sunnier. The North Shore is greener and gets more rain, especially in winter. The East Side falls somewhere in between.
Can you help if I'm buying from the mainland?
Yes. We can send you the listing details, disclosures and recent sales, walk you through the buying process, and help you plan your time on the island so your visits count.
“Knowledgeable & Diligent”
I buy and sell a lot of real estate. Eric West is without question the most knowledgeable and diligent agent I have ever dealt with. From the website he built to showcase our property to closing the deal he was meticulous in every detail and fact. Not only did he sell our property for more than we expected, it happened quickly and effortlessly on our part. I would definitely use Eric again. Thanks, Eric.” Dennis & Sylvia DeVries Arizona
