Oceanfront Hawaiian-Style Cottages :: Optional Guest Cottage

*CoronaVirus Update:* There are no domestic travel restrictions to Hawaii. No documentation or quarantine is required for domestic travel to Hawaii and interisland travel within Hawaii, effective March 26, 2022. Kauai specific information can be found at: https://www.kauai.gov/COVID-19

Just steps from the water, Aloha Cottages are the quintessential oceanfront accommodations - comfy furniture, wide plank wood floors, warm salt air breezes, and ocean views to soothe the soul. The front porch of Sunrise Cottage is a favorite spot for watching the ocean's changing moods (and whales during winter months). A blend of east coast Cape Cod and early Hawaiian-style homes, our vintage cottages are spacious and light with simple furnishings - everything you will need for a relaxing, rejuvenating Kauai get-away.

PROPERTY DETAILS
THE INTERIOR: French doors and large picture windows in the living/dining room of the main house afford panoramic ocean views. Two of the three bedrooms have queen-size beds and the same unforgettable ocean view. The third bedroom, furnished with two twin beds (optional King upon request), is a quiet retreat. Sunrise Cottage comfortably accommodates up to six people.

NEED MORE ROOM?? Add Moonrise Guest Cottage for another bedroom and bath to accommodate up to 2 more people, a total of up to 8 in both cottages (4 bedrooms/3 baths). Please contact me if you would like to include the guest cottage in your reservation and I will add it to your invoice to cover the rental fees ($1400 per week), taxes and cleaning ($250). Use both cottages together for a group of up to 8 friends or a multi-generational family gathering.

Recently remodeled Moonrise Guest Cottage has the charm of a bamboo canopy bed and peek-a-boo ocean view. The open, white interior is accented with soothing ocean blues for a fun, tropical ambience. A spacious food prep area (with refrigerator/freezer, coffeemaker, toaster, blender, microwave) is perfect for simple meals, along with the large outdoor stainless steel grill.

The beautifully remodeled kitchen of the main house offers gourmet cooks as well as microwavers a spectacular oceanview. The stainless steel countertop, checkerboard floor, and glassfront cabinets are reminiscent of vintage cottage decor. The upgraded appliances and granite-topped peninsula make it a cook's dream.

Both cottages are equipped with WiFi, flat-screen Smart TV and DVD player, all linens including beach towels, ceiling fans, down and faux-down bed pillows.

THE PATH: An exciting feature is the Seaside Walking and Biking Path that runs along the ocean, right past the property. Visitors enjoy the Path for exploring the coastline, past Kapaa Town, beaches and amazing ocean vistas. Kapaa has been voted one of America's 15 Prettiest Small Cities (Aug 2013) by Forbes Magazine, come and see why.

THE BEACH: Just in front of the cottage, less than 30 steps across the front lawn, is the soft sand and warm waters of 'Baby Beach,' one of the safest swimming beaches on the island for small children. Here you can enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, or even SCUBA for lobster in season. The quiet waterfront vintage neighborhood is just a short stroll from Kapaa Town, with charming shops and restaurants.

Lovely Kauai
Sunrise cottage has it all! Aside from the beautiful views and the great accommodation, its location is awesome for visiting west, south and north shores. We used the walking path daily and it was so convenient to visit eateries and sights in Kapaa. But the best part is the people and how responsive the host and property manager are when we have an issue. Thank-you for making our stay an unforgettable one. Mahola :)

Cottage on Kauai
Both my husband and I enjoyed the cottage. It was comfortable, well-stocked with things like knives, dishes, spices…everything one needs, even plastic glasses for the beach. The pedestrian/bike walkway to the left of the house goes for nearly 4 miles…maybe more. It’s easier to walk to the town of Kapa’a via this walk than to drive and find a parking spot. It’s no more than 1/4-1/2 mile to the Olympic Cafe and shops. We had a lot of rainy weather so both times we went to Hanalei, it was raining and both times we got alerts on our phones warning of severe weather and that the bridge may be closed without notice. We didn’t miss not having AC in the house. It is well ventilated with the louvered windows throughout. The house is just as cute as the photos.

Amazing host and amazing house
We can’t say enough about this. Wonderful home. Great location, great hosts. Perfect for the children to run around on the lawn. Perfect for the family to go fishing across the street or the children to go to the beach across the street. There are so many words that escape me to describe our time there.

If this house came up on your search, you are very, very lucky, indeed!
We rented this house for a week and were totally blown away with its location and charm. The pictures do not lie. I rent a home every year for my son, daughter in law and two grandchildren. This is the first time we all said we'd like to do the same thing next year. We felt as though we landed in paradise, and not just because of the beautiful island of Kauai, but this amazing home as well. They seem to book up pretty quickly, as our first choice for next year was already booked. We are determined to make it work so we're back to the drawing board to find new dates. The homeowners have immense pride of ownership in their property and it shows.

These sweet cottages were perfect for our family of 8 adults. The home is well supplied with kitchen items, and all the beach items available make it easy to show up and relax. There are plenty of places around the cottage to gather and enjoy the breeze of the ocean across the street. Close enough to stores and restaurants to walk. We would definitely come back. Susan is easy to work with and is a lovely person.

Adorable Cottage that is Perfect Beach House
This house is absolutely adorable! We never caught the little road separating the house from the ocean in the pics but it’s one way traffic and has one lane for pedestrian and bike traffic so really wasn’t a busy road. It’s a short walk north to Baby Beach to enter the water since the only way to get in from the house would be to climb down a wall and onto lava rocks (not advised). The house is fully stocked with everything you need utensil, cup, and plate wise with a really lovely wooden china cabinet. There is no AC so make sure you keep the timer on the fans reset to stay cool and open all the windows. Never got hot at night so this method works. The guest rooms have standing fans too which help since they don’t get as much cool breeze as the master. Chickens will try to come in the open front doors but easy to get out. They also have all the beach gear you need, and the umbrellas were really life savers for our trip. There were three of us and we fit nicely. Wouldn’t recommend more than 3 adults or will be cramped as not a lot of storage in the guest bedrooms. If you have more adults I’d highly recommend renting the Moonrise cottage. Just a note if you don’t rent the Moon cottage as well then the wonderful hosts do stay there. The only complaint we can muster up is the difficulty locking the doors. Even following the steps it is still a challenge but eventually always worked out after messing with it for a while. The house and grounds are super nice and definitely what beach house dreams are made of. Being centrally located on the eastern shore meant equal distance trips to the north and south shores. Kapa’a is a super cute town with a great fruit stand and lots of shops that we enjoyed. In the end the hosts are incredibly responsive, super nice and welcoming, and just lovely people.

Had a blast exploring Kauai with our 3 adult children and their partners. The house (for the kids) and cottage (for my husband and self) we’re perfect. Both were equipped with everything needed for our stay and the view from the porch was fantastic. The property manager stopped by to welcome us with some beautiful flowers from her garden. I would highly recommend this rental and we all hope to return soon!

This was our first time staying in Kapaa. But from now on we ONLY want to stay In Kapaa!! The house is absolutely perfectly situated, and the view…….unbeatable. The home was perfect for those of us that stayed there. It’s very roomy, open, airy,; and it was great for cooking, barbecuing and having our very, very large family over for meals. The 8 mile walk/biking path right in front is fantastic. Made getting our daily exercise in easy and a pleasure. I could go on and on, and on. Everyone that spent time with us also loved it. We are all looking at our calendars so we could book the next trip!!!! Hats off to the owner and manager of this AMAZING home.

We loved Sunrise Cottage!
Our family of 5 had our first trip to Hawaii and we stayed for 11 days in Sunrise cottage while we explored the island of Kauai. It was the perfect place to stay. The house itself is beautiful and clean and the owner Susan is a wonderful host. The house was centrally located on the East side of the island in Kapaa- so driving anywhere on the island was very easy and didn’t take up your whole day. Also, the sunrises every morning are out of this world! We also had whale sightings almost daily and even got to see a monk seal that came up on baby beach. One last thing that made this place really wonderful for our family and kids is all the stuff they have available for you to pack and take to the beach- boogie boards (our favorite), snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and beach towels. We went to the beach, hiking, or on an adventure every day and used something. Just something to think about when considering options to stay- this house has it all! Book it now- you will be so happy you did! Best trip ever!
