About this property
Have you dreamed of spending your honeymoon on the beautiful Garden Island of Kauai? Maybe you are planning a romantic getaway for two . . . or a peaceful visit to a tropical island away from your hectic schedule at home . . . . If you would like your vacation home to be in a secluded oasis of lush, tropical foliage yet close to beaches and restaurants, this Gem of a cottage could be your ideal choice.
It is amazing how close you are to many activities, gorgeous north shore beaches, and a nice variety of restaurants and cafes. And yet, it will seem like you are on your own private island while you are at home enjoying the serenity and peacefulness of this cottage with your private dipping pool.
When you choose to venture away from your shangri-la you will find a host of modern amenities like a grocery store, post office, shops and galleries, as well as lots of activities including tours of beautiful botanical gardens, horseback riding, zip line rides, river and ocean kayaking, boat tours, snorkeling and swimming, surfing and windsurfing, fishing, golfing and, of course, sightseeing the natural wonders of Kauai, to name just a few.
You will also want to be sure to stop by at least one of the Sunshine or farmer's Markets for fresh, local vegetables and fruit to include in meals that you choose to prepare at home. There is an electric grill as well as the fully equipped kitchen where you can create your culinary masterpieces.
This charming cottage is multi-level with the loft-style master suite upstairs complete with its own bathroom. The second bedroom is also open and the walls do not reach the ceiling. It is on a different level a few steps down and also has its own bathroom. The lower level, a few steps down from the second bedroom, is the main living area with the kitchen, dining nook and living room. Sliding glass doors in the living room lead to your private lanai and dipping pool. In case you return from the beach and want to rinse off before going inside, there is an outdoor solar shower for your convenience.
If you have had dreams about your ideal tropical hideaway, they have likely been of a place just like Pali Uli 8, a true Gem in paradise.

The Gem lives up to its name: modern, clean, spacious, well-equipped and in a lovely secluded tree embraced setting, with friendly, helpful staff on call if you need them. Perfect for the 3 of us, all 3 generations of us, from 83 to 16. It’s a short walk down a path from the reserved parking to the front door and a wagon is provided to help move suitcases and stuff. One morning we counted 5 geckos on the walk to the car. The kitchen has all the pots and pans and utensils you need plus a well stocked spice cabinet. The dipping pool and outdoor shower on the private deck are great. I’d be quite satisfied if this were my full-time home. Special treat: the white-rumped shama that sung us awake every morning. Odds are you’ve never heard a bird sing quite like it. Susan and family.
Quiet, beautiful, great location
The location was great! It was perfect for two people- great natural light, spacious and quiet.
The pool was filthy. It was green and had to be brushed for 10 mins prior to using then wait a day. We had roaches, just two but both in the bedrooms.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed 3 nights at this place. Overall it was okay. I didn't realize that the place did not have air conditioning when I booked it and even though they had fans everywhere, it was really hot during the day. The cottage is about 500 ft from the parking area and with the heat it was hard to walk with our luggage. Also when we left going up hill with our belongings was hard.They don't provide shampoo and conditioner which was very surprising to me.The location was good, about 13 min drive to Hanalei Bay which is where we went most of the time.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This little cottage is definitely an experience in and of itself. It's at the end of a little pathway, extremely quiet and extremely beautiful. All of the listing data matched with our experience. The only thing that was lacking in our opinion was air conditioning. This place gets very hot and muggy. In the two weeks we stayed there it was very difficult to recover from the exhausting humidity and heat. I feel like our vacation would've been significantly better if we had the sleep we needed without feeling miserable throughout the nights. In our humble opinion his place would be unbeatable if it weren't for the lack of any kind of air conditioning. There was a mini split air conditioner on the wall but it did not work - something that should be fixed without question. Be prepared for the muggy heat if you choose to stay at this place.
We couldn't have asked for a better location. It was easy to get around the island, and it was very quiet and so beautiful! You could feel the love in this special house. The house was immaculate and cozy. The lani with the dipping pool was terrific. The management company communicated well. I wouldn't change anything, and I plan to return and stay there again!
Fantastic airflow, great sleeping, outdoor patio table with bird watching was my fav.Only kitchen slightly difficult to maneuver in and dish washer did not work.
The wading pool was extremely cold the whole time we were there, none of the 4 in our party could enjoy it, unfortunately …The vegetation is beautiful & creates much seclusion but it prevents the sun from shining on back patio or pool area, which was very disappointing

Overall it was perfect! The only problem was with the refrigerator. It wasn’t cold and some of our food spoiled. The food was expensive enough and to have it spoil was criminal! It was truly a secluded, beautiful and special place. We would stay there again and again.
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros: Good location as far as peace and quiet. It’s a freestanding unit so there’s no shared walls or anyone above you making noise. Bbq and beach/pool accessories are onsite.Fans in every room. Cons:The air conditioning is solar powered so expect it to not work about an hour before sunset. Hawaii is humid so it will get warm and muggy even in December for the first few hours at night. The air feels turbid without AC. There are nats and flies constantly within the unit. Cobwebs and dead flies are all over the place especially behind tables and floors. Geckos are hidden inside the cracks in the ceiling and even though they help with flies, you will hear them every night if you don’t mind. It is dusty around anything that’s not easily cleaned from the front surfaces. The unit is technically a two bedroom but the walls are wide open throughout so there’s no privacy between the living room and bedrooms. If you’re bringing a baby then expect to stay quiet if your baby is sensitive to noise in one of the bedrooms. The pool was nice to have but the sun never hit the pool deck in December. The step down to the pool is further than convenient. Be careful of a low spot where water doesn’t run off on the deck because it builds moss and gets slippery (small spot in front of pool). The walk down to the unit is on a steep grade and the furthest unit from the parking lot. (Groceries, luggage, etc.)The sofas were small and not very comfortable to lay down in. Conclusion:This place can be nice for some vacationers but it wasn’t what we expected. For the price we paid we thought it should have been nicer based on he description and pictures.Our second stay was far cleaner and nicer all around. And it’s was cheaper by about $50/night. If you’re looking for something with a secluded feel that’s i
