Location: Kapaa, East Kauai, Kauai, Hawaii, USA (Kauai's East Shore with spectacular Sun and Moon Rises)
Accommodations: Cottage, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
The oceanfront charm of Moonrise Cottage offers an unforgettable island experience. At Moonrise Cottage your Kauai vacation won’t be compromised by budget constraints... it's one of Kauai's best bargains! Many of our Moonrise guests are newlyweds enjoying the intimate, cozy ambience of this sweet vintage retreat for their honeymoon.
Tucked away for privacy, you approach the cottage from the ocean, along a grassy path lined with palms, ferns and lilies. Even though the ocean view is somewhat obscured by foliage the sandy beach and warm ocean water is only 60 steps from your door. You can enjoy the every changing panoramic ocean view from the Adirondeck chairs on the front lawn as you sip morning coffee or a cool afternoon drink. In winter months you will probably spot whales offshore.
Or wander down to wiggle your toes in the warm sand of "Baby Beach," so called because of the shallow lagoon formed by a small inner reef. A meander down the beach at sunrise can reward you with shells and beach glass and to watch the full moon rise from the ocean at sunset is nothing short of spectacular.
We scoured the island for just the right blend of wicker, bamboo and tropical print fabrics to give Moonrise Cottage the charm and comfort of a vintage Hawaiian beach house. The piece de resistance is a magnificent queen-size bamboo canopy bed, complete with mosquito netting for ambience (rarely do we get mosquitoes). The raised ceiling and ceiling fans add to the open, tropical feeling. The mornings here are heavenly, so quiet you can hear the songs of tropical birds and wind in the palm trees.
Moonrise Cottage is centrally located just a half mile south of the quaint town of Kapaa, with convenient access to the island's many attractions. A seaside walking path encourages strolls into town for shopping or dining at popular spots.
