For less than half the price of a standard hotel room, this private ocean bluff Cottage-Studio offers a luxurious and romantic experience—giving you more space, more privacy, and more of Kauai’s magic. Instead of a crowded resort, you’ll wake up to the sound of waves, watch whales breach from your lanai, and soak in your own private large recessed spa/hot tub on the lanai, star-watching and moon-watching. AND, though secluded it's ALSO conveniently remote. The Princeville Shopping Center with a large super market, restaurants, various shops is just a mile away in one direction, and just a mile away in the other direction is world famous, 1 Hotel Hanalei which overlooks splendid Hanalei Bay and river.
Perched on Princeville’s bluff (Kaweonui Point) and Sealodge beach (access to beach just steps from the front door), 'The Cottage' with sweeping views across a lush, orchid filled hillside, and Anini’s famous reef and the Kilauea Lighthouse, is a secluded, comfortable ample-sized retreat with a well-equipped kitchenette (+ portable small oven, rice maker, air flyer, etc., etc):, a full-sized refrigerator, a functional full-sized bath, and air conditioning to ensure a cool, non-humid space year-round, plus ceiling fans, and recessed sill-vented large picture windows which enhance the large interior as well as are designed to capture the cooling trade winds.
What truly sets this Cottage-like studio apart is its unique private outdoor experience. A secluded tanning lanai lets you sunbathe in total privacy, while the outdoor Hot/Cold shower offers a refreshing thrill unique to this space. Another lanai boasts a private, full-sized spa/hot tub—the perfect place to unwind while watching seabirds glide and rain cells drift across the ocean and rainbows arching in the mist.
A friend who just stayed in 'The Cottage' and helped prepare it for vacation rental ('The Cottage' has been keep private for the past six years) wrote a note about her stay:
"As a photographer, and avid reader and nature lover, I can't think of a better place to enjoy true Kauai charm and beauty, feeling so secluded yet close to 'civilization'. A perfect piece of Paradise. I give 'The Cottage' a 4 thumbs up and 2 big toes!"
With everything you need for effortless beach days—including snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, mats, and boogie boards—you’re set to explore Kauai’s crystal-clear waters. In winter, you can watch expert surfers tow-in on massive waves, while in calmer months, snorkeling often brings encounters with turtles and monk seals and Laysan Albatross soaring and nesting.
And here’s where this rental truly stands out: what if you could have this lifestyle for six months instead of just a vacation? Instead of paying $600+ per night at a hotel, you could rent this Cottage-like studio long-term and fully immerse yourself in the Kauai way of life—morning swims, quiet afternoons on the lanai, and sunset dips in your private spa/hot tub. Also, ... the convenience of weekly basic maid service is included in the rental cost. In short, a six month stay in 'The Cottage on Kaweonui Point' offers a unique opportunity to experience the North Shore as a true local.
This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a chance to live Kauai.
