beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood, very close to the beach

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights while we were on the south shore of Kauai and we absolutely loved it. They supplied chairs, snorkels, boards, and an umbrella for us to bring to the beach and the house was nice and clean. We went on a walk each morning we were there and felt so at home. We didn’t realize that there was no AC so we were caught off guard but thankfully they also had several stand up fans in the house! 10/10

Great spot in a quiet neighborhood minutes from the beach

Great house in a great location. House was very clean and well maintained. Provided beach gear was perfect to take with on the short drive or walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood that is also very close to shops and grocery store. Will for sure stay again on my next Kauai trip.

Cozy

Very clean, well updated, cozy place. Really enjoyed the outdoor shower to rinse off sand from the long beach days. This place has everything we needed and has a great home feeling. The beach chairs, umbrella and bikes were a bonus. The only downside is the furniture wasnt very comfortable to lounge around, but that didnt break my stay for me.

Cutest and Cleanest Place Ever

This was hands down the cleanest place we have stayed. Some of this may come from being a newer build, but they seemed to have amazing folk doing the cleaning and maintenance. There was zero signs of previous guests. Place very cute, neighborhood is great, friendly folk.

Quiet, Clean, and Cozy

Neighborhood is quiet, cottage is well maintained and modernized. No air conditioning, but if you keep the fans running and windows open while there it stays cool (even when it's up 90 degrees out!). It is a nice place for 1-2 people to stay around beaches and restaurants, but far enough away to keep things quiet and private!

So peaceful……

Quiet neighborhood with many cul-de-sacs; makes it perfect for a sweet bike ride with the bikes provided in the garage. The place is so clean and new. Just perfect. Slept with the windows open and awoke to the birdsong. We walked 10 minutes each morning to the Sheraton for breakfast which was fantastic. We stopped to view ocean afterwards. ❤️

3 Day Stay

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in April and enjoyed our stay! The place was clean and the hosts were very nice. They gave us a wonderful dinner recommendation and even gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate our honeymoon! The highlight of the accommodations was the two cruiser bikes available. They made it easy to bike down to the beach, grab some breakfast at "Little Fish" down the road, or explore the area. Something that we would have liked to have had with our accommodations was a few more smaller amenities. Things like a full spice rack, more cooking dishes, a full size shampoo/conditioner, sunscreen, etc... These were common items at some of our other stays in Hawaii and were anticipated when staying at a detached property with a full kitchen. Another thing to note is the privacy component of the stay. Personally, we did not have any issues with privacy, However, the cottage is a stand alone building that is surrounded by housing on all sides and you share the outdoor property with the host family. In my opinion, I think the listing does not accurately depict the level of development around the cottage. With that said, everyones definition/expectation of privacy is a bit different. Overall, we would recommend staying at the cottage!

Perfect peaceful paradise near the beach

What a great little property. Architecturally the home is perfect, with a nice bedroom, living room area and a beautiful kitchen. My only disappointment is that we did not use the kitchen to cook up some of the amazing fresh fish and Okinawan sweet potatoes. Every incidental needed for our stay was there, soaps, tp, laundry detergent, etc...The neighborhood is around the corner from the main road but very quiet and a nice place to walk in the morning. It is centrally located to most of the things you want to do on the South shore. When we go back we would definitely pick Hale Minoaka. Be sure to check out Little Fish nearby for breakfast but be aware, the line forms early!
