Property Description
Welcome to Kauai Inn, a boutique oceanside condominium in Niumalu on a lush and meticulously manicured 2.75 acres of land. Accompanied by compelling views of the Pacific Ocean and mountain backdrop, this charming complex is located between the iconic Hulaeia Mountains, Niumalu Beach Park, and Nawiliwili Bay, a popular surf and fishing spot.
With the Urban-Open zoning, this unique offering blends historic charm with modern hospitality. Initially established in 1890 as the first hotel ever in Kauai, the Inn features 48 one-bedroom residences across four buildings, each with two floors and each room with air conditioning. To add to the immense value of this asset, each room has its own County TMK and can be sold individually.
The property also includes a separate three-bedroom, two-bathroom "Manager's House" with a large carport area. A laundry area for guests, a separate maintenance building, a BBQ area, a commercial-size ice maker, a resort-style pool, an arrival area, and a pavilion for entertaining are all complemented by ample open green space, offering flexibility for operations or residences. This landmark property has welcomed guests for 135 years, including John Wayne, while filming Donovan's Reef on the island, and continues the tradition today.
With its historic charm, prime location, and exceptional potential, Kauai Inn offers a rare opportunity to contribute to and continue the legacy of one of Hawaii's most captivating hospitality assets.
