Great home base for island adventure

Great centralized location to easily access the whole island. The apartment was so cute and was clean and homey. Loved the use of the kayaks to float the river.

Loveable Lodging

This little hideaway sports a feel that makes you want to return. Sure it is a rental that has everything you need and is in a great location but what makes it memorable is it's soul. Books,tasteful decor, good lighting....really a fine place to stay.

A little slice of paradise

This was our first trip to Kauai, and though we originally booked a spot down south, we're so glad we made the switch to the more centrally located Coconut Coast. Staying by the river was a dream—kayaks at our fingertips and friendly neighbors on the dock each evening as the sun dipped below the horizon. This treetop cottage is a hidden gem—an incredible value for the price. It’s just minutes from the beach and freeway, yet it feels like a peaceful retreat tucked away in the trees. The lanai became our little sanctuary. Candace was wonderfully welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. We had an amazing time exploring Kapa'a and both ends of the island. We'll definitely be back!

Blissful Stay on Royal Land

My husband and I stayed at the cottage for almost two weeks. It was absolutely perfect, all we needed to be comfortable, rested and supported during the vacation. We were delighted to have use of the kayaks, easy access to the river via the dock, beach chairs and snorkeling gear. The cottage is very clean and well appointed. The back patio is a big plus for early morning coffee sipping and listening to the birds. We would most certainly come back and stay at the cottage again, especially if we get to meet Candace again. She is lovely and spent some time giving us some history of the area. An incredibly lovely experience and I thank her for offering this cottage for rental! If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would!

Wilua Riverside Hideaway

We had a wonderful stay next to the Wailua River! The Riverside hideaway had everything available for a perfect beach day or a paddle down the river. Enjoyed being in a residential area and really leaning into the rhythm of the Island. We will definitely stay here again!

Private and Perfect

Candace’s VRBO is exceptional. Quietly away from the bustle of a resort, but right on the river and close to all that Kapa’a has to offer. And Kapa’a is exceptional too, with lots to do locally and all of Kauai close whether you head north or south.

Peaceful River Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this River Cottage! The check in process was effortless and the cottage was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed using the Kayaks and paddling to the Fern Grotto & Secret Falls. We loved cooking at the cottage and watching the sunset in the evenings. The neighbors were friendly and we would love to visit again.

Sweet cottage in a convenient location

Upon arrival to the convenient location I appreciated the parking stall in the covered carport beneath the cottage. Very comfortable and cute cottage with everything one might need. I enjoyed kayaking up the Wailua river and having the access with the private communal dock just across the cul de sac. The bed was very comfortable and I slept soundly to the breezes and sounds of the trees and rain with the windows open. Didn’t use the air conditioner, but nice option to have. The only down side, which has nothing to do with this lovely cottage, is the current construction on the highway bridge crossing the Wailua river. Because I wanted fresh air and open windows, the noise from the cranes and cars was not the peaceful setting I was hoping for, especially on the sweet outside lanai. Attention to detail, cleanliness and Hawaiian decor is greatly appreciated. Mahalo!

Better than expected

The place is in a peaceful, quiet, residential neighborhood right on the river and close to the beach. The paddle boards and kayaks were a lot of fun, and my husband loved the laid-back feel of the cottage and all the real wood. It was nicer than we expected. Candace was very sweet and helpful. We hope to stay here again.

Amazing Room and Accommodations

Candace went overboard in taking care of us. She was easy to get ahold of and listened to our needs. The room was amazing and the kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans. We had everything needed to fully cook any meal we wanted. She provided a free concierge service who took care of all of our excursions. We will definitely call her again for our next trip. Thank you Candace for an amazing place to enjoy our 25th anniversary. We didn't want to leave.

Romantic River Retreat

We loved everything about this property! Worth every penny for the water toys available to take the trip to secret falls. It was a great central location to explore the islands. We cooked all our dinners in the kitchen and loved having Kona coffee and breakfast on the rooftop deck with sunrise. No problems with check in or check out. My husband is a custom home builder/historic preservation contractor and we loved the cottage charm and furnishings. Mahalo Nui!

Honeymoon stay

We loved our stay in Kauai next to the Waimea river. If you stay here, book on a Saturday so you can take the kayaks out on the day there aren’t tourists around! The lanai was our favorite place; we spent every morning out there. Good functional amenities and a spacious house, plus lots of equipment like snorkels, sun hats, etc (though some of the equipment is well-loved). Clean bathroom and the rest of the house too - we didn’t think we’d use the laundry but it came in handy. You can’t really walk anywhere easily due to its location on a very busy road but it’s not far from some nice beaches and restaurants. The absolutely kind hosts made our stay a great one!

November Visit

The location of this property is ideal if wanting to explore the whole island since it is located on the east side right in between Princeville and Waimea. This unit is in a residential area that gives you an authentic Hawaiian feel. We cooked breakfast and dinner just about every day and found the kitchen to be well stocked. You are on your own for condiments other than salt and pepper, which is what I expected. The dock was great to enjoy an afternoon beverage on to view the sunset behind the mountain and to launch the kayak that she has on hand. There were no additional instructions for check in so make sure to at least touch base with Candace to get the info on what is available to use...i.e. where the life jackets are, a cooler, beach chairs etc. The typical rooster alarm clock that is a part of Kauai was not too bad here. In fact we really did not hear them much at all. We would definitely stay here again.

Beware of roosters!

Although this little cottage was adorable and had a great location the lack of sleep really put a damper on our honeymoon. Kauai is known for roosters squawking but this was another level. The owner of the house/cottage actually feeds them so on average 4-5 roasters plus many hens and babies hang around this property in particular and roost in the 2 trees mere feet from the bedroom and living room windows. They screech starting at around 1am and continued through the night, then would go crazy at the crack of dawn even more. We even used ear plugs but you could still hear them through the ear plugs as the windows were very thin shutters that did not keep out any noise. And having the roosters so close to them it was pretty bad. We are not picky people and backpack/hostel a lot, but we decided to upgrade to a nicer place for our stay, but honestly it wasn’t worth a week of zero sleep. We did mention to Candice that she should stop feeding them and look into having them relocated for the sake of guests staying there. People come on vacation to relax but there was no rest here. Other than the zero sleep this place was honestly very cute and nice, the bed was comfy and sheets soft so take out the birds and you would get a great sleep lol. The lanai was very lovely and we enjoyed dinners on it. The river being so close was great! The use of Kayaks and sups was nice, although they needed a very good spray and cleaning from all the bird poop covered all over them. So maybe another thing to note. We returned the kayak cleaner than found. Laundry and access to beach gear was another bonus. We are adventurous people so the location here was very good but definitely a few things need to be worked on/addressed.
