This cottage is the perfect place to explore Kauai from. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was picture perfect with the bay across the street and the mountains in the back. Kapaa, which is just down the road, had everything we needed as far as stores and restaurants. We loved Java Kai and Kountry Kitchen for breakfast! Should we be fortunate enough to visit Kauai in the future, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

These were the best accommodations we have ever had in the last 50 years of visiting Kauai. Absolutely nothing was lacking during our stay. The setting was beautiful. The house was immaculate, inside and out. One of the best experiences we have had. Along with all that, the constant communications with the management was suburb. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

The cottage is nicely located just across the street from the beach. Proximity to the beach is a big plus, but there’s quite a bit of partying going on, occasionally with loud music deep into the night. The large backyard has beautiful mountain views. There are several patios with plenty of furniture, which are however not so easily accessible (you have to walk around the house). The cottage is small, and “extremely basic” is the best way to describe it. The kitchen is well-stocked, but has the feel of not having been remodeled in half a century. Cabinets are hard to open or close. No dishwasher or garbage disposal. Contrary to the advertised features, this cottage does NOT have a bathroom. It has a small half-bath next to the kitchen (uncomfortably so for anyone desiring any privacy during bowel functions, as the only aeration is through an opening directly onto the hallway next to the kitchen). The shower is in the basement/laundry room down the stairs. It is also extremely “basic” (no faucets) and has no drain (water drains across the room). The property owner lives next door and was very friendly and helpful.

We loved staying at the Hibiscus Beach cottage. The location was perfect for exploring all parts of the island. The cottage is great for hanging out with the beach right there. Listening to the surf at night and the birds singing in the morning made for a very relaxing experience. The owner next door helped whenever we had some little detail needing taken care of and supplied us with a nice gift of limes from his place. The kitchen is very well equipped and we did a lot of eating right there. I highly recommend this place and hope to return sometime in the future.

We loved this house, in a real neighborhood, away from almost everything! Loved the '50's charm of the house, the huge back yard, and the proximity to the beach (a 30-second walk).
