Magical beach cottage

Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! It was a dream for our honeymoon. The outdoor shower/tub, plus the ample private backyard space really made it. Comes stocked with beach gear and comfy beds. Thank you!

Lovely stay

When we booked this stay we knew it was close to a beach and in a a more historic town in Kauai, but it exceeded our expectations. It was great for our toddler and the backyard and outdoor shower were big hits. Steps from the beach, pier, food and a market. The home was clean and had everything we needed with easy check in and out. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kauai. Mahalo!

Loved everything about it!

This little cottage was perfect for my friend and I to take a girls trip to Kauai. We both love to hike and to explore the outdoors, so the location was perfect. The beach was right across the street, so we sat on the beach with our wine and the beach chairs provided. I would definitely stay here again.

A magnificent stay

The house was perfect, the beds were great. The major highlight for us was the outside oasis. The yard was so peaceful and the outside shower was glorious. However the biggest joy was the beach for sunset. We made sure to enjoy sunset every night we stayed. Thank you for having us!

Awesome beach cottage!

We loved our four-night stay here! Lovely cottage, nicely decorated/updated, well-stocked kitchen, and an absolutely beautiful backyard, we spent a lot of time out there. They also had a great variety of beach/hiking supplies which was a nice bonus. Easy access to Waimea canyon and hiking and close to the south shore beaches too. Was perfect for our family of four.

Charming clean cottage.

The perfect home during our time on Kauai. The cottage had the ideal size for our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers). It is equipped with everything you need in a week's vacation and very clean. The location is perfect to explore the Waimea Canyon. Mahalo!

Perfect beach stay

We loved our stay at the beach cottage! Super cute, well-stocked kitchen, amazing location- what more do you want? We could walk to the pier for amazing sunsets, walk to the beach for sandy strolls, and walk to places for lunch. It was my little family of 3- hubby, myself, and our college-age daughter. Easy check- in and quick responses from the host. Great place to stay!

Lovely beach cottage

We had a great stay- house was clean, kitchen is nicely updated. The outdoor tub and shower was great- recommend over the indoor shower. Quiet location- very close to drive up to Waimea Canyon, easy drive to busier south shore beaches. Short walking distance to grocery store, but be prepared restaurants in town close early.

Amazing cottage stay

This property was gorgeous! The huge yard with the outdoor shower was amazing. We ended up loving the front porch - we would listen to the waves, eat breakfast, and look at all the geckos on the plumeria. We had everything we needed in the home and it was so convenient to have a grocery store right on the corner of the street. It was quiet, peaceful, and exactly what we were hoping the place would be. I felt the clean up expectations were a little much, but the place was impeccably clean, so maybe that contributes. Overall, I would come back in a heart beat!

Just what we had in mind

Perfect cottage close to beach., although not swimmable but a long sandy beach. Cottage was stocked with all the amenities and decorated so well. Appreciated the laundry cubes and coffee. Within walking distance to small town for shopping and restaurants. Outside bath and shower were perfect! Never used the indoor bath! Security motion lights and large fenced yard made us feel safe. Would definitely return.

Great homely cottage in charming neighborhood

This place was the most comfortable we stayed at while in Kauai. The neighborhood was walkable and had everything you would need. There was a grocery store less than a block away that was fairly affordable. A couple blocks down the road was the best shaved ice spot and next door to that was a cute gift shop with reasonable prices and there were several restaurants to choose from. The cottage itself was wonderful, with stylish decor, comfortable beds, and a great backyard to hang out in. The outdoor shower and bath were fun and made it easy to keep the sand outside of the home. Also this location made for a great starting point to explore Waimea and was relatively short drive from Poipu…10/10 stars.

Beautiful cottage. Just as the pictures stated.

This piece of property had everything you could image. Attention to detail. Would highly recommend it. Just a note. The button for overhead shower was not that obvious. And truly that is my only negative thing to say. Adorable place.
