The host was very welcoming and very helpful. My husband needed a blanket and Candice laundered one for us. The location was perfect. Kayaks were provided so we used them on the Wailua River which is right by the cottage. There was a washer and dryer available for our use as well. There was a new refridgerator and stove plus a Kuerig and a drip coffeepot with filters. Pots and pans and dishware were provided. The airport is 6 miles away and a grocery store is less then 2 miles. It is the perfect place.
Perfect location for a week on Kauai! Had everything we needed to hit the beach, cook dinner and have a magnificent trip!
Great centralized location to easily access the whole island. The apartment was so cute and was clean and homey. Loved the use of the kayaks to float the river.
This was our first trip to Kauai, and though we originally booked a spot down south, we're so glad we made the switch to the more centrally located Coconut Coast. Staying by the river was a dream—kayaks at our fingertips and friendly neighbors on the dock each evening as the sun dipped below the horizon. This treetop cottage is a hidden gem—an incredible value for the price. It’s just minutes from the beach and freeway, yet it feels like a peaceful retreat tucked away in the trees. The lanai became our little sanctuary. Candace was wonderfully welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. We had an amazing time exploring Kapa'a and both ends of the island. We'll definitely be back!
My husband and I stayed at the cottage for almost two weeks. It was absolutely perfect, all we needed to be comfortable, rested and supported during the vacation. We were delighted to have use of the kayaks, easy access to the river via the dock, beach chairs and snorkeling gear. The cottage is very clean and well appointed. The back patio is a big plus for early morning coffee sipping and listening to the birds. We would most certainly come back and stay at the cottage again, especially if we get to meet Candace again. She is lovely and spent some time giving us some history of the area. An incredibly lovely experience and I thank her for offering this cottage for rental! If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would!
Upon arrival to the convenient location I appreciated the parking stall in the covered carport beneath the cottage. Very comfortable and cute cottage with everything one might need. I enjoyed kayaking up the Wailua river and having the access with the private communal dock just across the cul de sac. The bed was very comfortable and I slept soundly to the breezes and sounds of the trees and rain with the windows open. Didn’t use the air conditioner, but nice option to have. The only down side, which has nothing to do with this lovely cottage, is the current construction on the highway bridge crossing the Wailua river. Because I wanted fresh air and open windows, the noise from the cranes and cars was not the peaceful setting I was hoping for, especially on the sweet outside lanai. Attention to detail, cleanliness and Hawaiian decor is greatly appreciated. Mahalo!
This little hideaway sports a feel that makes you want to return. Sure it is a rental that has everything you need and is in a great location but what makes it memorable is it's soul. Books,tasteful decor, good lighting....really a fine place to stay.
Great location, comfortable bed and bedding, loved the kayaks. Mahalo Candice!
The location of this property is ideal if wanting to explore the whole island since it is located on the east side right in between Princeville and Waimea. This unit is in a residential area that gives you an authentic Hawaiian feel. We cooked breakfast and dinner just about every day and found the kitchen to be well stocked. You are on your own for condiments other than salt and pepper, which is what I expected. The dock was great to enjoy an afternoon beverage on to view the sunset behind the mountain and to launch the kayak that she has on hand. There were no additional instructions for check in so make sure to at least touch base with Candace to get the info on what is available to use...i.e. where the life jackets are, a cooler, beach chairs etc. The typical rooster alarm clock that is a part of Kauai was not too bad here. In fact we really did not hear them much at all. We would definitely stay here again.
Roomy, comfortable and very nice decor.
Well thought out to meet our needs.
Especially enjoyed the Lani looking out at the tree tops.
Just a short path to the wide smooth river.
Candace went overboard in taking care of us. She was easy to get ahold of and listened to our needs. The room was amazing and the kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans. We had everything needed to fully cook any meal we wanted. She provided a free concierge service who took care of all of our excursions. We will definitely call her again for our next trip. Thank you Candace for an amazing place to enjoy our 25th anniversary. We didn't want to leave.
This is a sweet hawaiian original. It had everything we needed and was quiet and convenient. The river was just steps away. We enjoyed staying here for the last leg of our trip.
Great one week stay here. Very cute, well appointed and cozy cottage right near the Wailua River. Beautiful grounds and easy access to surrounding areas. The host is very accessible and accommodating, and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommended.
