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.

The bungalow was in a great location and a perfect spot to have as a home base to explore the island. Air conditioning after a long day in the sun was such an added bonus. They had all the amenities for the beach and river. Highly recommend!!!

My sister and I stayed here and it was breathtaking. Looking forward to staying again very soon!

Communication with Candace was excellent from booking through departure! The stay was as expected with great amenities and location. My husband and I highly recommend this property and would love to return someday!

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.

Cute, well appointed with all the conveniences at hand. Fantastic access to the river, walking distance to beach and several restaurants, centrally located for exploring the island. Host was super helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay again.

Pretty much the perfect spot for our needs!

We loved our stay, the view, the patio, the air conditioning worked great. We hated to leave. It met all our standards during our stay.

My wife and I had an excellent time! This is a great place to stay, conveniently centrally located for anything you might want to explore on Kauai.

This place is special. We really liked the quiet away from crowds feel. The location was perfect for exploring the beach slabs because of the central location. The bed was very comfortable. We loved this spot.

This was the perfect little house off the beaten path. We loved the location steps from the dock and a short walk to the beach to watch the sunrise. Our favorite part was using the provided kayak to explore the River to check out the secret waterfall and fern grotto- both are not to be missed! We also spent a lot of time on the lanai which had a nice breeze throughout the day.

The river access home was a great place to launch our Kauai adventure! The clean, comfortable home gave us great access to the river to paddle on our own, without the fuss of rental or going with a tour group. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio surrounded by greenery. The location made adventure access to the rest of the island easy and convenient. Our very late in the evening arrival was welcomed and accommodated. Any questions were. answered quickly. The neighborhood was quiet, though there is a bit of road noise from the main road into through town. If we make it back to Kauai, we would love to stay again!

We enjoyed in our stay at Candance’s place on the river. Having access to kayaks and paddle boards everyday was great. I would stay there again.

Location was amazing, central to entire island, steps from the river and beach. Unit was very clean, host accommodating and snorkel, paddle board and kayak gear included.

We had the best time staying at Wailua Cottage!! The host, Candice, was welcoming and friendly, and the location was right on the river with good privacy. We loved kayaking on the Wailua river, and we even tried stand up paddle boarding while we were there! The location is right between Kapaa and Lihue, so there were many restaurants and destinations close by. We had a great time and can’t recommend it enough!! Thanks, Candice!

This Wailua Cottage, located steps away from the Wailua river, in the central east part of the Island. The location made the north and south shore easily accessible. There were great shops and restaurants nearby. The kitchen was well equipped. The balcony was the perfect beginning, and ending to an adventurous day. The cottage was very clean, and the A/C made the stay very comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. I highly recommend staying at the Wailua Riverside Cottage.

This was a great stay. Pros of staying here was being right next to the river (which was beautiful), being able to walk or paddle board to the ocean (there is no sidewalk so had to be careful with all the vehicles!), having a central location (but still far enough that you have to drive everywhere), and being a nice quiet property. The house was super nice and clean, however two cons is that there is no first aid kit and the floors are SUPER slick! We had to be careful when walking around in socks. The river dock is also pretty busy but everyone we met was super friendly. I know there’s a lot of people saying that they were greeted or seen off by the owner however, minus a couple of text messages, we never saw hide nor hair of her despite being connected to the house? Not saying that’s good or bad, just something to mention for those who are looking into this. Overall, would recommend to someone who is wanting a quiet property a little bit away from all the hubbub of everything. It’s was nice, organized, quiet, and everyone that we met was friendly! The messages with the owner were also pleasant and super nice!

I have never enjoyed a vacation so much as I did this one, and the place I came home to every night was the foundation for that experience! The home was a delight, bright and beautiful. I am so overwhelmed with words that limiting my expression of my satisfaction would be necessary. The good reviews say it all! The roosters people commented on are part of Kauai and the replacement of the classic Hawaiian louvre windows will probably eliminate that (as well as all the great things that come with those windows. I hope the louvres are left in the bathroom!) We all are from time zones east of Kauai, so I liked being awake in time for the sunrise everyday. If that isn't in your plans, i'm sure you have noise eliminating things from your long flight to hush the plane and fellow passenger noise that will give you desired sleep. I slept with windows open, listening to the ocean waves and night sounds.The starlight from the lanai is glorious as are all the island, river, and beach toys available to use. Candace is a dream, the first of many examples of Kauai Aloha spirit. Simply summarized, I loved this place and will be back! Maholo, Candace, I look forward to seeing you again!

Lovely breeze and comfortable place for a winter respite.

Upon arrival we were very excited with our 3 night stay. It was nicely set up for us... BBQ, beautiful lanai for meals and evening lounging easily accessible kayaks close to a river that's easy to paddle. During the daylight hours we loved our little pad. We did have a lot of trouble sleeping through the roosters crowing which started at 3am and feel this should be noted. The host was excellent and made sure we were taken care of.

We had an amazing stay. The location was perfect for visiting all sides of the island. Candace answered all our questions and provided a clean and well appointed home. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Everything went smoothly from when we were met by Cathy when we arrived and everything was perfect. The place is gorgeous and the location you couldn’t ask for anything better right there on the river. Definitely would stay there again.

Our stay at the Wailua Riverside Cottage was everything that we hoped for and more! The cottage was charming with a rooftop deck had a view of the sunrise and palm trees during breakfast. The kayaks were great to use and the beautiful Wailua River was easy to access. We kayaked about every day. Other items that made our stay nice were the washer/dryer and water sport items like paddle boards, life jackets, coolers, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, and more. You will need a car! With that said, the location is about as centered to the activities of the island as you can get. We loved the local farm markets and fish markets and brought fish home to fix on the grill that was provided. Check out the Eleele Fish market and the Koala Fish Market on the south side of the island and the Hanalei Fish Market on the north side. Our hostess, Candace, was so friendly and helpful. We consider her a friend and resource for future stays. We hope to come back some day!

Cute little bungalow. Had absolutely everything you would need for your vacation. Great location so you could drive easily to either side of the island. All beach equipment and snorkeling gear was provided. Candace was a very sweet and kind host greeting with a Lei and Christmas gift, so accommodating. If we had to list one downside there were a lot of roosters crowing that are noisey at night but that would not stop us from rebooking with her! Overall it was amazing!
