I just absolutely love this little cottage. It was perfect. I loved that. It was not in a busy area. It’s suited us perfectly.

We had such an amazing time for our first time in Hawaii. This place was perfect for coming back after a long day and being able to relax. We loved having the washer/dryer and dishwasher and all of the amenities. it was a so close to a nice beach that we were able to take a short dive to. Would definitely love to come back!

Overall we loved it, manager was very nice and the property was great! It was in a bit more rural part of the island which we liked! But the down side is we had to drive a ways for a lot of the touristy kinds of locations. We didn’t mind though, Kekaha beach is seriously awesome and only like a 2 minute drive.

Everything was as expected or better, and we had a great time.

Pros - Good location for beaches/canyon/Waimea. Cons - Noise - local traffic, multiple neighborhood dogs barking, ever present crowing roosters. Not very quiet. Rental needs some serious maintenance. Appears to be past fixer upper. Considering the quality of the other 2 rentals during this vacation this rental is over priced.

The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay here. Scott communicated well and promptly with us. He answered every little question.

Vacation was a true Hawaiian experience away from the touristy towns. Home offered everything needed for a comfortable stay. Close to Waimea Canyon and steps from the ocean.

The place was clean, cozy & in a quiet neighborhood (except the roosters - but hey... it's Kauai). Away from the tourism & crowds. I loved that this place was minutes from the beach. I look forward to coming back to this place.

Owner was very quick to respond to questions or concerns. Lots of extras we weren’t expecting Very comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved this little cottage next to the beach! We were walking distance to the ocean to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. If you want to sit at the beach for sunset, drive down the road to Kekaha beach. We could hear the ocean waves from our house! It was the perfect neighborhood, and we felt at home. It took us a little while to get used to the sound of chickens early in the morning, but we soon took advantage of the fans in the house to help us sleep through it. We loved the location of this house! Close enough to Waimea for groceries, shopping and places eat. We also loved the salt pond for our 4 old yr old daughter. We were so grateful that there were beach towels and beach chairs for us to use on our day trips. We also used the little cooler everyday to pack lunches and keep our water cool. While the home may be a little outdated, it made us feel at home and experience Kauai in a more organic way. There was fresh fruit on the property that was delicious. The groundskeeper came by one of the days and did a fantastic job sprucing everything up. Very friendly, and a hard worker! This was a our first time bringing our daughter to Kauai and it was magical! She fell in love with the area and keeps asking when we will come back. We would stay at this sweet home again. Mahalo!

Nice home set in a real neighborhood away from resorts with a very short walk to the beach. Perfect for our family.

We enjoyed staying at this property and being close to Waimea canyon for hiking and not too far from Poipu for snorkeling and swimming. Also not too far from Hannipepe where we enjoyed the bookstore, bakery, and the Friday Art night. The house felt very spacious and we appreciated the beach supplies (towels, chairs, and even snorkel masks!).We got used to the sounds of chickens quickly and enjoyed being in a quiet neighborhood. Recommend highly!

This house does not feel like it’s a tourist destination. It is a real Hawaii experience. It’s one or two houses back from the ocean with a full kitchen, living room and dining room. Kekaha is super mellow. Close to hiking in Waimea canyon and close to beautiful beaches. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed on vacation. Nothing could have been better

Loved it!

A lush semi-private comfortable getaway cottage conveniently located to beach, attractions and amenities. Large living space and comfortable clean AC bedrooms. We’ll be back.

This was our first stay on the west side of the Island! This entire property is gorgeous! While it is nearby other homes, it feels very private and intimate. When we initially arrived, there were a few items that needed to be addressed, but as soon as we contacted Scott, he was able to get everything taken care of immediately! We really enjoyed our stay in this quiet part of the island and we look forward to staying here again in the future! As a reminder to first-time visitors, many local stores and shops close up early (6pmish) - nearby Kekaha has plenty of spots for a good meal and some shopping. Additionally, this is VERY close to the Waimea Canyon! We did lots of hiking in the canyon trails, and I being so close made exploring the canyon so much easier! We look forward to visiting again soon!

It was clean and comfortable. Nice location. Out of the way but close to places to visit. Enjoyed spending time at this property.

Out of the way and no tourist noise! This lovely cottage has everything you need for a peaceful getaway. Private patio with grill, beach chairs and umbrella for extended beach time. Lovely landscaping surrounds the cottage. Windows all the way around with jalousie operation so great for breezes, the sounds of the waves and birdsong. Very comfortable. Hated to leave.

This house offered our visit to the island a great time. The location of the house on the Kauai west side gave us the sunshine every day. It is also a good location to launch our hiking activities in the Waimea canyons.. we also loved to be far away from other high activities tourist towns and this house did it for us,. The beach is about 10 minutes away, it’s salt pond beach. The 9 holes golf course is 20 minutes away, I’ll t is the most affordable course on all islands, &15 for 9 holes. Over all we enjoyed our stay and we would rent this house again. Mahalo

Loved all the trees and shade. Grounds were well kept. House had everything we needed, made for a well needed vacation.

Delightfully surprised at the comfort, cleanliness and size of this home. It's bigger than the photos make it seem. It was VERY comfortable, especially on the few occasions we needed to use the window AC units. Mostly, the breezes from the beach keep everything comfortable. LOVED the mango and huge mandarins. We appreciated being far from the "touristy" side of the island. Much more our vibe for a quiet family reunion, with great proximity to Waimea beach and canyon. Highly recommended.

A lovely two bedroom, one bathroom house in Beachside community with orange, coconut and avocado trees in the backyard. Great chance for family get together, away from the tourist intensity elsewhere. Kitchen well stocked with utensils and management very responsive.

Lots of room. Well stocked property Quiet. Close to beach. Wifi fine. We enjoyed our stay. We would come back.

Property is dated but well maintained. Neighborhood was somewhat noisy - barking dogs, loud conversations by neighbors. Burnt out light bulbs and running out of toilet paper was dealt with within an hour once housekeeping/management was notified. Directions to the property and how to use appliances were clear and complete

Exceptional rental. We never met Scott, the owner but he makes things easy and Scott is always very responsive. We love quiet Kekaha, close to but so far from the resorts of Poipu!Things to do around? If one likes hiking Kokee Park offers many possibilities . Salt pond beach at Hanapepe offers safe swimming and Polihale beach is fabulous but swimming there is close to impossible.

Amazing property with fruit trees. Mangos, avocados, and limes. The beach is just a short walk or drive. It was perfect.

The house is a charming bungalow one block from the ocean. There were ocean breezes each day so, the many ceiling fans and windows meant that no air conditioning in the living areas was not an issue. AC in the master bedroom was appreciated for those few warmer nights. The house has more living space than it seems from the online pictures. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and pots and pans. There are a couple minor repairs to the bathroom toilet and kitchen faucet that are needed but neither negatively impacted our stay. I would also suggest all the mattresses be replaced, they weren’t very comfortable. We loved the yard, the deck, the fruit trees, AND the neighborhood chickens. We really appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels provided, we used them every day. About the west side…Kekaha does not really have a downtown area aside from a convenience store. We went to Waimea for all our grocery shopping; between Ishihara’s and Big Save, we had no issues getting what we needed. And Ishihara’s has great poke! Waimea is not a big town but it does have a few places to eat and town conveniences. The house is great for those who want to be away from crowds of tourists and resort areas. We found a great local beach spot on which most days we were the only ones there. This part of the island is not great for swimming as the beaches are open to the ocean so the surf is often rough. That being said, there are several local beaches within a 10-20 minute drive that are good for swimming, we especially liked Salt Pond Beach. Kekaha is on the west side of the island but, we had no issues getting to other parts of the island for excursions and exploring, the north shore was about 1.5 hours away. Communication was very good and check in was a breeze. We’d stay here again, for sure.

Clean, updated, and comfortable little house in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Away from the hustle and bustle of the island and we felt like locals, even if for only 5 days. The location is a bit isolated but we did not mind and the only trip that seemed long was the north shore/Hanalei area. We enjoyed the fruits and beautiful flowers on the property - the sweetest mangoes we have ever had! The roosters are VERY early risers but after the second night we got used to them. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Great place to stay, very clean and had everything we needed for a two week trip.

My family loved the spacious home and quiet neighborhood. The yard is private & pretty. Awesome communication with property manager & easy entry upon check in. Definitely stay again!

Clean, roomy, quiet, and a perfect location. Just a short walk to the beach. Well stocked of items to include spices (the small things count). Morning roosters may wake you up earlier than you wanted, but you get that anywhere on the island. We had a small ant problem in the bathroom, but we put up ant traps and the problem went away. If you want to be away from the fast pace this is the perfect place to stay. But, if you like the fast pace it is a short drive. All appliance worked well. There are fruit and avocado trees that can be used. We also took advantage of the gas grill to cook our meals. Grocery Shopping is also very close. Simply put nothing but outstanding. We will definitely use this property again.

Well equipped comfortable cottage. Easy access to everything on the West side
