Really enjoyed the stay. The property was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Beach is only a block away so we were grateful for beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Property manager was responsive and very helpful. Wonderful stay. Will stay again.

The house was lovely. The neighbor has a puppy mill and dogs whined and barked at all hours of the day and night. I finally had to resort to wax ear plugs and white noise on the highest volume. It was unfortunate .

This house is a home, very cozy, well kept, and very clean. We loved it, property manager was very good in communication. The only thing that was not represented well was the walk to the beach, it was stated 150 steps, and you could not do that had to walk to the end of the block and down. Loved it enough to stay there again.

We spent 9 days in this property and it was perfect for our needs, which included two couples. The house was impeccably clean and the kitchen was very stocked with all the utensils, pans, and dishes you could need. We very much appreciated the grill and the washer and dryer. There were ample fluffy bathroom and beach towels. We used the beach chairs and cooler many times. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, and there is a direct ocean view as the school's playground is right in front of the house. There's a small beach about 100 steps away, and the Kekaha Beach Park is just about a mile away and was a great close beach. We enjoyed the small town location. There are several restaurants just 5 minutes away in Waimea, although only two that are open for supper. We would absolutely stay here again.

The cottage worked perfectly for us: well equipped, clean, comfortable, porch views of the ocean with the school across the street, and far from the tourist crunch (about 45 minutes from the airport.) An ideal location if you want easy access to Waimea Canyon which, as birdwatchers and hikers, we did. The barking of some neighborhood dogs was super annoying at times but overall, the house was a great choice. Thanks!

Home was perfect for our family of six adults. Clear and simple entry instructions was great. We loved sitting on porch and watching the ocean throughout the day. We really appreciated having a clean house with air conditioning along with the little touches like ziplock baggies for lunches to take on our hikes. Only challenge for us was that so many of our activities ended up being farther away from the house than we anticipated, so it made for long drives daily. Other than that we loved it!

We enjoyed staying in this house. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, private backyard, nice front deck and laundry facilities. It was great that they had beach items to use: chairs, umbrella, cooler.

This property is wonderful! Exactly as advertised, super clean, well-stocked....perfect. We used the Tommy Bahama sand chairs, umbrella and cooler every day. Kitchen has wonderful knives, pans, dishes, and there are fluffy soft towels throughout the house. Washer/dryer with detergent and dryer sheets provided were extremely useful given our 10 days, the Kauai humidity and days at the beach. We even used the clothesline. All the cleaning supplies and spices/condiments were appreciated There was even small amounts of sun screen and aloe left in the laundry area, which we really appreciated. There is a nice Weber BBQ for grilling. They have truly thought of everything! The front bedroom does NOT have air conditioning, so sleeping with that door open is almost required, but all bedrooms, living room and dining room have super nice ceiling fans that work great! WE LOVED OUR STAY!

Nice, well maintained, well appointed place on south side of the island. Quiet neighborhood, across from the shoreline. Close to south side attractions. Recommended.

Loved the cottage itself. Neighbors were great especially Lala the furry friend. Kitchen was well stocked (except for measuring cups🙂🙂), felt like the appliances were brand new, knives were sharp. The kitchen both a drip coffee maker and a bodum which fit our needs perfectly. The stove did not have an exhaust fan. The bedroom with the day was needed drawer storage and a small table. Master bedroom was great enough storage. Plenty of hangers! Just a personal preference but the shower heads would have been easier if it was a fixed shower head. Cottage itself was wonderful. The air conditioning units and were strategically placed. They worked fine and was sufficient to cool the whole house. Loved the ceiling fans. We liked being able to walk across the street to the water. Enjoyed sitting out on the porch. Enjoyed having washer/dryer. Property manager was easy to work with. Left clear instructions and utilized the books about Kauai. They were very helpful. Chicken Barrel was a fun place to eat and hang out. Loved Jojo’s shaved ice. We went there twice!!! Market is also close by. We even went to a farmers market by the community college to get fresh vegetables! We explored the entire island and did 4 hikes! Poipu was our favorite because we were able to see the sea turtles come to rest at dusk!

I explicitly stated that I needed a place that was accessible. I knew there were stairs in the front but I thought the back led directly into the house. And I thought there were only 3 stairs in the front. Turns out there were 6 stairs in the front and back which made getting in and out of the house almost impossible. Perhaps this was a misunderstanding on the part of the broker but it seriously affected my stay. I also thought the photos were deceiving and made the beach and ocean appear a lot closer than it actually was. The house was clean and pleasant but my trip was ruined because of the accessibility issue.

The property had all the amenities needed, washer, dryer, lots of towels for beach and bathing. My Mom liked it was across the street from a church. Comfortable beds, air conditioning in living room and two larger bedrooms. We were able to fix meals fully stocked kitchen with cooking utensils. It was far enough out from Poipu to escape the traffic, but close enough that we were able to get there quickly. Lots of places to visit on the South end of the island and the sunsets were easily seen from the Hwy. There was three of us but plenty of room for 6. Will consider renting this cottage again in the future.

Exactly as listed. Abundant appliances and supplies. We never needed to contact anyone. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Our family of five stayed here for a little over a week and found it to be perfectly situated to give us access to the beach, hiking, and enjoying quiet together as a family. The open layout provided space to eat, play games, and relax together. With three bedrooms, the common area space, and outdoor seating on the lanai, everyone had a place to retreat on their own.

Return renter. Love this house. Seems like my home away from home. Near enough to the beach (walking distance) to go watch the sunrises and sunsets, plus beachcombing when the tides are out. Bedding and cooking utensils are all there except for the automatic rice cooker :-) had to go old school and cook on the stove. Hoping to be be back there again in another 3-4 years. Note: the vehicle in the garage did take away parking space (especially when the school people parked in front of the house), because we had a couple of rental vehicles between us 5 siblings.

The pictures don't do it justice. House was beautiful and very clean.

Minutes away from the ocean, in a quiet neighborhood, this very well equipped home has everything you need. Conveniently located for visiting Waimea Canyon and Kokee Park, it was our favourite spot on Kauai.

We’ve been lucky enough to stay here twice and both times have been truly amazing. Most recently our family of 4 with two younger kids stayed 8 nights. Everything from pre trip questions, to check in, to the place itself was everything you could ask for. The host is extremely responsive and helpful. The house is fully stocked with every possible accessory. We especially appreciated the pac n play for babies to sleep in. We can’t go back soon enough!

We started our stay in Princeville and ended it in Kekaha. We definitely prefer the south end of the island. It is a lot more laid back, warmer and definitely drier. The house is cute and cozy ❤️. There are AC wall units in two of the 3 bedrooms and one in the living room; they work great! The beds are comfy, there's plenty of towels and extra gear for the beach (coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, snorkeling gear, body boards etc.). Two things I'd suggest to the home owner is: update the master bath. It is outdated and the tub is peeling and desperately needs replaced. The main bath is in better shape. Second, think about providing small dressers in the bed rooms. We used the TV stand in the master, but when you are staying for any length of time it is nice to have a place to put your folded cloths. Otherwise, great stay for us, this is the 2nd time we've rented a house where Scott was the host. Lastly, the listing needs to be changed to reflect the actual check in time, it's 4pm, not 3pm.

It was super chill...mostly locals. The view is somewhat obstructed with a church or school infront of the house. You can see the ocean in the distance when standing on the left side of the porch. Otherwise great place with everything you need! You must have a car as nothing is walking distance.

Our goal was to be close to our dive charter in Koloa but in a quiet location. This cottage provided what we needed to support a snorkeling and diving week: Beds, baths, washing machine and dryer, clean kitchen for food prep. We did have a rental car to get around the island. The smallest bedroom does not have an A/C unit, but a floor fan in addition to ceiling fan. I recommend keeping all the rooms open so the cool air is shared throughout the living space. The document on the counter directed us to contact an on-island property manager. We noticed two broken fixtures and communicated them to the manager. We received a response that the fixtures are noted. When a toilet clogged and the onsite plunger was ineffective, we did not receive a response to our commmunication. We went to the nearby grocery for supplies and corrected the toilet ourselves. A little hiccup in a big week.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was extremely well-stocked with things we never would have even thought to have considered. The house is a bit dated, but the flow worked well for our family. This area of the island is not resort-y and has a very local feel. It is also farther away from the more touristy locations, but it is located close to Waimea Canyon (amazing hikes!), and we loved being close to JoJo’s Shave Ice. Also found several yummy restaurants nearby. It’s a great option if you don’t mind a bit of driving and want to get a more authentic-feeling experience on Kuaui with room for your family to spread out.

This property was the perfect place to experience Kauai! We loved being so close to the ocean, the very quiet neighborhood, and the sunsets over the water. A quick walk and we were on a beach good for walking and enjoying the beautiful skies. A quick drive to a sandy beach North of the property and we could wade in the water and enjoy the waves. The property was exactly as promised and the kitchen had a good amount of cookware so we could cook and eat healthy meals all week. We went on a fishing trip out of Eleele and came back with Ahi for several days and had the perfect place to cook and enjoy. Our son and his girlfriend joined us for a few days and having two bathrooms was a lovely convenience. I enjoyed the fact that it was away from Lihue traffic, but not too far to the airport and other beaches and amenities in that area. Waimea Canyon is astounding! One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen and it is so close to the house we went up easily by car to explore different hikes. The property owner provided so much information and left cool books in the home for our use! We snorkeled at several beaches and hiked and really had an amazing time! Mahalo for sharing your beautiful house with us!

Such a cute beach house! Very clean and perfect size for young families. Great stocked kitchen and good location. Had a great winter stay! Ample street parking.

We enjoyed our week at the blue lotus cottage! It’s nicely furnished, it’s in a nice location on the dry coast, close to the beach and the Waimea canyon. We also appreciated the full laundry, 6 beach chairs, boogie boards and the local people!

Very cute and cozy house. Close to the beach, easy walk. The building across the street cuts into your view of the ocean and sunsets but the owner provides great beach chairs to take each night to see the sunsets. Beds comfortable. The one downside was the sheets in master bedroom. They seemed old, thin and did not fit the bed. Not a deal breaker, we would stay here again!

This was one of the better maintained VRBO properties I've stayed at. Very well appointed, clean and comfortable.

It was refreshing to stay outside of the touristy areas in the small beachside town of Kekaha. The house was perfect with the three bedrooms and a great front porch to watch the sunrise. Clean and tidy with everything one needed, including beach chairs and towels. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

The house was good and a lot of space to accommodate larger groups. My family enjoyed having A/C. We used the beach towels/supplies a lot and the hiking poles came in clutch during our hike on the Na Pali Coast because of mud. Great access to Waimea Canyon for hikers. If you are booking tours, make sure you do your research about the location and drive times, as this house is located at the extreme end of the island and there is no loop road. I personally enjoyed the more remote location, but some in my group would have preferred to be nearer to larger cities and tourist attractions. The location is not touristy and you are directly next to a school. I expected more noise during school hours but it was not bad at all. The school does somewhat inhibit the view of the ocean. Neighborhood was quiet but there are some loud barking dogs and roosters, which should be expected, but members in my group had a difficult time sleeping because of the animal noise. We had two rental cars and parking was OK. We couldn't fit both cars in the driveway since the property owner has a vehicle parked there, but there is some parking in front of the house. Overall, the house was great and I would recommend for travelers looking for a quiet/non touristy stay or for hikers/outdoor adventurers looking to hike in Waimea Canyon area or explore lesser known beaches. Also some great local food in Hanapepe and Waimea.

Kekaha is the perfect place to stay in Kauai and this was the perfect house in Kekaha. It is far enough away from all the touristy attractions, where you are not overwhelmed with people, but it is close enough to get to some of the best places on the island like Waimea canyon and Poipu Beach. Everything you need for essentials for the home or a couple miles away in the town of Waimea. The home itself is one of the best homes we have stayed in on Kawai or anywhere else around the world. The home is extremely clean, and the beds are very comfortable, and the whole house is just amazing. While we only had the two of us on this trip, this home is big enough to be comfortable for six people If you are looking to come to Kauai, stay in Kekaha. If you stay in the car, stay in this beautiful home.

Couldn't be more pleased!

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I, and my parents and brother! It’s in more of a residential neighborhood so it’s more on the quiet side which we liked. The walk to the beach is only about a block away. Loved walking down in the early morning and watching the waves crash against the rocks. My mom really enjoyed having her coffee every morning on the lanai. We found some excellent, authentic food in Waimea, less than 10 mins drive from the cottage. Island taco, a short drive down the road, was delicious! The cottage looked even better than in the pictures. It was clean, and the AC kept it nice and cool. The king bed in the master was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would possibly need to make food at the cottage. The beach chairs, boogie boards, and umbrellas were perfect for our day at Polihale state park. We had a wonderful time on this beautiful island and would definitely stay here again!
