We had a wonderful stay. The home is located on a quiet street just feet away from the beach. The home itself is a lovely old cottage, well maintained with great outdoor dinning and bathing areas. There were several homeless encampments on the beach next to the home, but didn’t have any issues.

Cozy cottage. Cross the street and you are on the beach. Has a great restaurant on the corner that I was able to get Elk Steaks from. Has coffee shop within walking distance. The cottage was such a cozy quiet place and you can hear the waves from the patio. In case you didnt know, Kauai is the Island of the Roosters. So be prepared to hear them around 430am if you are a light sleeper. The windows are double pane so that helps a bit. Air conditioner unit in every room so that is nice also.

This property is amazing! Every detail is thought of, the cottage is decorated and furnished exactly how I would have done it myself. Clean, well located all the necessities and then some! Close to the pier for sunsets and close to restaurants and groceries. Outdoor tub and shower were phenomenal! The highlight of the place, along with the lovely back yard. I would absolutely stay again!

A great base camp for hikes

We had an excellent time at this well-appointed and comfortable cottage in Waimea. It is in easy walking distance to Black Sands beach and to a long pier from which to watch the sunset. It's right next to several good restaurants, food trucks, and bakeries. We stayed in Waimea primarily to hike Waimea Canyon, and this was the perfect base camp. It's got a well-appointed kitchen for snacks and meals, as well as washer/dryer to help with all the mud from hiking. It's got a big tub for soaking sore muscles. The yard is beautiful and well kept. The AC works great. We were concerned that maybe it would be loud with the restaurants nearby, but it was very peaceful and quiet. The management was easy to work with and very communicative, and we had a great experience. We'll be back here next time we're in south Kauai.

Very stylish and clean place and location was walkable to everything in town. Only real complaint was that neither mattress was particularly comfortable, and there must have been 100 roosters nearby that woke us up every night starting at sometimes 2-3 AM. We knew we weren’t going to sleep past 5 am or so for the remainder of the trip by the first night. Not anyone’s fault but felt it was fair to share! Great place.

A comfortable cottage by the sea

This little cottage was just what I imagined. It sits in a neighborhood, a block from the main street and yet across the street from the beach. A well appointed space with both a front porch and a back porch BBQ area. I loved the outdoor shower and tub. We had a couple issues and Kristen was right there to help and easily handled things. I felt like it was worth the price to have what seems like rare accomm0dation offerings. I would stay here again. I loved Waimea.

Quaint Cozy Cotrage

We absolutely loved our stay at the Waimea Beach cottage! It was quaint, comfortable, clean, and cozy, providing all the amenities we desired. The outdoor tub and shower, the front porch were highlights, and we enjoyed the close proximity to the fishing pier and Wrangler Steakhouse. The sunset views near the pier were breathtaking, and we even spotted dolphins during our visit! This sweet cowboy town has our heart with its quiet, local charm that made our experience even more special. We will certainly be back in the future and are already planning a return trip for 2 to 4 weeks next winter! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delightful getaway. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Everything was as described. We had a great time. However, the neighbor across the street feeds the chickens, so there is a large population in this neighborhood and the roosters start crowing in the early morning hours. We eventually got used to the noise!
