Sweet Rustic Cottage ~ Ocean View ~ Short walk to beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 month stay at the sweet rustic cottage. Our 5th stay over 15 years. The setting is quiet, peaceful, serene, and organic. Beautiful landscaping and grounds. Spectacular views of ocean and mountains. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. Well stocked with everything you need. Style and setting is rustic and authentic. Beautiful details and original art. Well stocked full kitchen made cooking our meals easy. Enjoyed walks to the beach and in adjacent neighborhood. Diana is a wonderful host. So caring, accessible, and responsive. Thank you for sharing your farm and the cottage with us. Overall, a very special place. If you are looking for an authentic Kauai experience - this is the place. Sit back and relax in a tropical paradise.

Everything you could need to have a down to earth local experience with an incredible view. Our one note would be there were a few massive cockroaches in the cabinets and under the sink that we had to take care of…

Host was great. Accommodations were very nice and well outfitted. Site is beautiful and very private. Easy walk to beach and quick drives to Kapaa, Kilauea, and Hanalei.

An amazing place to stay!Diana was an incredible host and the property was truly amazing! We stayed 6 nights and found it to be paradise.Everything we needed was onsite. We were so glad we chose to stay there and found it hard to leave.

Beautiful home with amazing views. Lovely visitors, four paws. Diana was a lovely host. Grateful for her sharing her beautiful, peaceful cottage. Close to beautiful beaches. You can walk to one and travel the island easily. Diana had all needs covered for a day yo the beach. No better place to come home to besides your own. Thank you! Looking forward to returning!

Wonderful cottage in a magical place, with gorgeous sunrises, birds singing, the blue ocean in the distance, soft breezes, a shaded hammock in the yard. Marvelous stars at night.

This was a perfect location for me! Close to the many things I explored during my first visit to Kauai! The entire experience kept me in a place of complete relaxation, great peace and harmony! I will certainly try to plan revisits with this property availability!!

We enjoyed relaxing in a non tourist area after many activities during the day. Loved the sunrise and location for easy access north or south on the island.

Truly enjoyed our stay at Diana’s place. She’s a wonderful host—thoughtful and easy to communicate with. The home is charming, tranquil, and thoughtfully decorated.

Love this property! We stayed in the small cottage last time and the larger one this time. We could see the sunrise every morning, it was amazing. Very private, well tended, beautiful location. Thank you!!

We walked through the front door and immediately left the property. Very dirty, cobwebs everywhere, potentially mold on surfaces, and crumbs in the counter. The bathroom was also very badly discolored and could use a very deep cleaning.

Amazing property/location. Far enough to be away from the tourist traps & resorts & close enough for daily adventures with near by secluded beaches. Fabulous stay with everything we needed at the cottage. Highly recommend!

A lovely place to stay for a week and base from which to explore Kauai. I would have loved to stay for a month!

This is a fantastic hideaway in the hills, tranquil with constant cool sea breezes -- far from the crowds and tourists, a true getaway to chill and close to lots of great beaches and snorkel spots on the east shore. We spent a perfect week and would have loved to stayed longer.

Many VRBO reviews mention that they enjoyed the property so much that they plan to return again in the future. We loved everything about our stay in Diana’s cottage so much that we actually just finished our second visit in just under a year. Based on the many return visitors who signed the guest book, we are not the only ones who feel this way!Other reviews outline the property details, so I will limit this one to say that she has created a very special place that feels like home in an exceptional setting. And yes, we are already planning our next stay!!

This property was perfect for our little island getaway. It was secluded but within a good distance from all the island events. Definitely rustic. Make sure you are okay with bugs, lizards and chickens. Bug spray is going to be your best friend.

Property is secluded, perfect for couples. Had a great time

We loved our stay on Mahinani's Farm! The setting was beautiful, with the mountains as a backdrop, and the ocean down the hill out front. The cottage was a perfect getaway for my husband and me. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we loved having beach chairs and umbrellas and a cooler provided for our use! The location was great, as we were easily able to visit sites on the coconut coast as well as the north shore. We accessed many beaches easily. I loved the calm serenity of the location. Watching the sunrises from the front patio was a highlight! I would definitely come back! Thank you!

Wonderful house in AnaholaHawaii with a superb view and extremely comfortable.

Our daydreams are filled with memories of our stay at the cottage! What a beautiful and peaceful place to be. During our stay, we walked from the cottage down to Anahola Beach, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything about the cottage and surrounding garden it’s so very pretty. Also, great original art featured throughout.Our daydreams will continue!

From booking to check-out, this experience was a dream and full of aloha. We had the most magnificent stay at this sweet cottage, and definitely left pieces of our hearts there in Anahola. Location was perfect. With a rental car, we could easily drive anywhere we wanted to go on the island within an hour. Our favorite beaches were under 5 minutes away. Kapa'a was a really fun town with shopping, restaurants, and delicious shave ice, also super close. The cottage itself held everything we were seeking: peace, solitude, comfort, and joy. The cottage had spectacular views of mountains and ocean. Logistically, the host thought of everything, from beach gear to coffee beans (thank goodness), with just enough of everything we needed. Mahalo for a beautiful experience that we will definitely book again when we return to Kauai. We couldn't imagine booking elsewhere!

What a lovely place - we felt so at home and had everything we needed. Loved that beach accessories like chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, etc were there to use. The house felt so secluded and we enjoyed that it was a bit off the beaten path. Would highly recommend!

What a beautiful house and property! I loved the views.

My husband and I loved staying at this cozy cottage. From the drive up we were stunned by the mountain view behind the house. When at the home you are surrounded by the chirping of birds and crowing of roosters that transports to an island paradise feel. The house looked updated from the listing photos with lovely natural light, a nice open kitchen and cement flooring throughout. It was equipped with everything we needed for the stay including beach chairs and boogie boards which we really appreciated having. There was also a supply of sunscreen, bug sprays and after sun cream which came in handy as well. Diana was always quick and kind in her responses and communication. Like the listing mentions we saw a few small lizards and bugs but nothing scary or out of the norm. The house did get warm but there are many fans and with the doors and windows open we were able to keep it comfortable during our February stay. Having this cozy home to come back to at the end of an adventurous day was very relaxing. It really started to feel like home and we were sad to leave at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend this home to others if you're looking for a relaxing, dreamy stay in Kauai.

Nice quiet place away from the crowds. Great location to explore the island by car. The cottage had all the items needed for a day at the beach. Very clean. Backyard was great. Enjoyed the chickens and roosters and sunrises every morning.

We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Don’t care for the hub bub, busyness. We could not have asked for a more perfect stay. Just wished it was longer. Had all the amenities one could ask for, and then some. If the Lord continues to bless us, we will be back.

This was such a fun and authentic place to stay! We loved it! Being secluded was really nice and the views were fantastic! We had everything we needed and beach days were great with the supplied beach items (chairs/umbrella/cooler/mat/towels). Highly recommend!

This cozy cottage had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. The only things we missed were our pets, however, there were plenty of chickens and a kitty that visited every day that made it easier :) The location was perfect, centrally located (yet secluded) for all the activities we had planned all over the island. Diana was the perfect host and has thought of everything! Hope to return!

We had been dreaming about the day we got to return to Kauai, and specifically based our trip dates around availability of this sweet little cottage. Having stayed in it 7 years prior, we knew it was the only place we'd want to stay on the island. Peaceful and tucked away from the busier towns, this little cottage is just a perfect home base for your adventures! Diana (host) is so kind and the property is just lovely. We can't wait to return!

Could not have been happier with this great little, very private cottage with a big back lawn looking out at the ocean. Not to mention the gorgeous mountain backdrop. What a wonderful pleasure to come home to every day and have a peaceful place to relax! Would recommend to anyone!

A little slice of heaven away from the resort scene. Beautiful sunrises, deep tranquillity, views of ocean and mountains. Great location for exploring the rest of the island. Lovely walks on the coastal bike/walking path (just 10 minutes away by car). Spending hours in the hammock in the yard, reading, napping, listening to the birds and the sound of the ocean. I never want to go back home.

Peaceful, relaxing place.

We enjoyed the property greatly. It was quiet and beautiful. The directions given to get to the property were great. We hope to return some day.

We stayed here for about two weeks. It went by in a blink of an eye. I would come back here in a heartbeat if I could. This house was so charming and peaceful. It really made you feel like we were apart of the true Kauai lifestyle. 100% would pick this, over a resort any day. I miss the chickens already.

The perfect place to recover and chill after adventures in during the day. This place is very private and really gives you the ability fully unwind and just listen to the birds and roosters. Host was awesome and your next door neighbors are delightful pasture of friendly goats you can do yoga with! Great location for accessing all sides of the island too, would 100% stay here again.

This cottage was an amazing place to stay! It was very private with its own little yard, and we loved hearing the chickens in the morning and watching the sun rise over the ocean. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed, and Diana was a great host!

My husband and I spent our days hiking some of the most beautiful, challenging trails in the world, swimming at our favorite beaches and having Mai Tais with local Koloa rum on the lanai of our absolutely perfect hawaiian cottage. We loved our accommodations and seriously have never slept on a more comfortable mattress. Thank you, Diana.

This is the perfect Hawaiian home. The trade winds blew constantly. The morning sunrises were masterpieces. The roosters were beautiful and fun to watch. The place was perfectly supplied. The host, Diana, was so helpful and quick to respond to our every need respond to

What a beautiful location, secluded but not too far from town and all the attractions. We loved the quaint little cottage it was the perfect size. We will definitely be back to this little slice of paradise!

We have stayed multiple times and each and every visit has been everything we needed and more. We show up a little tense from the travels and within the first day we are relax and ready for anything. The only bad thing I could say is we didn’t stay long enough! Diana is one of the sweetest people you will meet and with her chill vibe and kindness, we always feel like we’re visiting family. Mahalo, til we meet again!

It was perfect. Thank you Diana!

Property and location are beautiful and the cottage has everything you need. Would definitely choose this property again! Mahalo

Loved everything about this experience! Great location, very well set up, with beautiful artwork. Looking forward to returning sometime soon.

Beautiful location with incredible views of both the ocean and mountains. Spacious cottage that is well-equipped with amenities and very private. Ceiling fans throughout and ocean breezes created a comfortable space. Quiet, yet well located for exploring all of Kauai. Highly recommend!

I have stayed at this cottage several times and it never disappoints. Even on a rainy day, it's perfect - so peaceful and sweet. I love watching the sun rise out of the ocean every morning. I spend hours lying in the hammock, enjoying the singing birds, the clicking palms, and the soft breeze. At night, it's wonderfully dark and silent, and there are beautiful stars. What more do you need?

The cottage comes with all you could need for a vacation. There are beach supplies like snorkels, chairs, towels etc. and a kitchen equipped with all the supplies you may need for your meals. We enjoyed our trip with this nice place to call home for the week. Definitely would recommend!

We had the most marvelous time at the aptly named 'sweet rustic cottage'. The cottage is marvelously located with an ocean view from the patio and a view of close craggy mountains from the lawn. The cottage is spotless and contains everything we needed. It is a truly magical place and we fully intend to come back there.

This was the perfect little hideaway for our stay in Kauai. Diana was very communicative, checked in on us during a short power outage and provided great information. The cottage was beautiful and just our taste. It was a good location for all of the north and east shores. Get away from the resorts and the people in this lovely, rustic cottage!

This sweet cottage was perfect for our stay! It’s nestled in a small, quiet neighborhood with lots of privacy. We loved hanging out in the hammock outside with the large grassy area to view the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other! The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including kitchen supplies, coffee, towels, etc. I would absolutely stay here again!

Large and spacious, fully equipped kitchen, very peaceful ansd serene. Diana is anexcellent host, full of aloha.

Quiet, private, beautifully treed w florals, a hammock. A part long view of the Ocean Simple, well appointed, comfortable. Functioal appliances and set up. Spiritually a healing place. An honour, to rest on the Hawaiin farmlands. Living Aloha Angeline's Lomi lomi massage within walking distance, as was 808 goat yoga, the juice maker Hale on Highway and will do custom blends. Small beach closeby.
