                                    My husband and I were looking for a place to stay in Kauai that was not part of a resort. We wanted a kitchen, great location and privacy. Kauai Dawn was just what we were looking for. The hot tub was a great bonus. The cottage is the perfect size and equipped with everything you might need. Dawn was wonderful. Would have given 5 stars, but the bathroom is a bit tight. Definitely recommend this for couples looking for a quiet, private and affordable place to stay in Kauai.

                                    I had a great birthday staying in this beautiful secluded cottage! Dawn is a great hostess and it was great meeting her son and daughter too! You are definitely out in the country staying at this cottage but only 60 seconds to Dukes Canoe Club and the Marriott Hotel and Cafe' Portofino on the water! I drove the entire island, both sides! Rent a T-Top Jeep! Dawn has parking right at the top of the entry. There are huge fresh Avocados (depending on the season) falling fresh from the trees. Great private hot tub right outside along with a great BBQ grill and a washer & dryer so you can do your laundry before leaving! Thank you for a great time!!

                                    We truly enjoyed our stay at this cottage; it was very hard to leave it at the end of the trip! The owner is very friendly and accomodating, and even provides a detailed "things to do" book for the guests. The setting was perfect--quiet, calm, and cozy--and having our own jacuzzi tub was awesome. It's a perfect romantic getaway for a couple...especially when you've just gotten engaged!

                                    It is a perfect place for those who like to getaway from the typical resort scene. Although it is in the middle of a residential area it has a secluded feel due to the trees and landscaping surrounding it.The location in Lihue is ideal for visiting both sides of the island. The kayak rental is a great deal, the snorkel equipment, and boogie boards, are an added bonus. Dawn is pleasant to visit with, and will provide a wealth of information on things to see, and do on the island.

                                    We had a truly wonderful experience at Dawn's cottage. It was everything we expected and more. Dawn was extremely helpful and shared her knowledge of the island and helped us plan our time there. We especially enjoyed picking fresh mangoes and avocados right there in the yard. We rented a jeep so we could explore the island, and found the location of the cottage excellent for just about any location we wanted to visit. We enjoyed having our private hot tub that we used daily, and we cooked fresh fish on the grill several nights, which we enjoyed with fresh vegetables from the farmer's market. Mahalo, Dawn, for everything. This was the best vacation we have ever had.

                                    I meant to write this review right after our visit, but only now after returning to Kauai with a much larger group was I reminded I owed some praise to this lovely spot! This is a very sweet private spot in a quiet residential part of Lihue just minutes from the airport. We were actually picked up by the owner's daughter who was really helpful and knowledgeable about the coolest things to do on the island (some of which, like night diving at Maha'ulepo we were too scared to do!) We loved the convenience of renting the car with the studio also. We found the location great for exploring the entire island, Lihue is a nice mid-way point if you intend to cover all the highlights, from Waimea canyon all the way around to Ke'e beach. Dawn was a gracious and well informed host - we loved hearing about the movies filmed on the island and LOVED watching South Pacific and other Kauai films in the extensive collection - especially after a full day of beaching and driving and waterfall jumping. This is a great spot if you want something cooler than a hotel room, with the ability to make some of your own meals and avoid the scene at the big resorts. Highly recommend it!

                                    This was a very quiet secluded place. The plant life all around was astounding. We were very close to the airport and many other attraction. Dawn went way beyond when asked a question to insure we had the information we needed. The shower is small but the rest of the place is very roomy & comfortable. Very few steps made for easy entry and exits. We also really like the morning sunshine streaming in the dinning room windows. We would tell our friends about this place if they were going to visit Kauai. Mahalo Dawn

                                    Aloha Dawn, I suppose it would have been timelier earlier but, we made it home safely. We really enjoyed the island and your cottage. It suited our needs just fine and coming home to the hot tub and watching the Olympics on TV was a great way to end each day. We hope to be back in a few years. Mahalo, Craig and Perla

                                    The KauaiDawn cottage is the perfect place to stay on a visit to Kauai. You are literally 5 minutes from the airport, the 2 bigger towns on the island and within walking distance to the beach. It has a beautiful view of the sunrise and cruise ships coming in to port. Both Dawn and her daughter, Sam are friendly and more than willing to share their knowledge of the island and things to do there. The only negative part of our entire stay was that we had to leave too soon. We will be back next summer- For Sure! Mahalo Dawn! Give Makoa and hug for me Sam!

                                    Owner response: Janine & David did the most amazing thing! They redid our counter top on their last day in paradise. Can you believe that? They tiled, reset a new sink, fixed the faucet, redid the design to hold the microwave, and added some shelves. Definitely, you two are workaholics but most of all you had to have loved us to do this for us. We love you two too. Makoa loves you even more. You two are amazing! Visitors…Please take a look at the home page… under NEWS for photos. You two are the BEST and we can’t wait to see you again. I know you like diving… but I’d love to take you on a great adventure when you come back next time… then, you’ll know you have to come back and stay. Your talent is much needed on this island. Dawn, Sam & Makoa
