Two weeks in Kauai was wonderful. This home is in a great location. Away from busy Kapaa with a beach across the street and a fabulous mountain view in the back yard. Our host Greg was very helpful and friendly.

We found this vintage cottage to be very clean and well stocked. The beach which is right across the road from the cottage, was a wonderful place to stroll, watch surfers, take a dip in the ocean and just relax. The beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas were useful during our beach trips. We enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. TV and internet service was super. An air conditioner was very welcome when the humidity was high. Management was very helpful and friendly when we had a question or concern. The neighborhood is quite and the sound of the ocean is very soothing. We will return to vacation at Hibiscus Hula Cottage again in the future.

Beautiful beach cottage steps from the beach. Gorgeous property with views of the sleeping giant from the huge back yard. Located off the beaten path perfect for a relaxing get away far from the hustle and bustle. You can walk to the beach and sit all day without seeing another person. Went with our family of four and it was perfect. Kids had an amazing time.

We specifically picked this place because it was out of the way hoping it would allow us to immerse ourselves into Kauai life and we really enjoyed our 9 day stay at this little old place (we moved to the Waipouli Hotel in Kapa'a for the remainder of our trip to give the kids the pool experience). It's a 50's house on Kauai so, it's quirky, but our kids 8 & 5 had a great time looking for lizards, geckos and toads (and chasing an occasional chicken in the spacious back yard). We were out most of the time and thus avoided being inside during warmer part of day, using AC for nights (but, we are from San Diego, so we are somewhat used to the heat anyway). We met our host Greg on the day of our arrival and he walked us through the basics which we appreciated. We found the outdoor shower and the inside shower bay VERY useful for handling two kids who would invariably get covered in sand/dirt from head to toe. The beach is across the street and behind a hedge, which we actually found helpful in keeping the 5 yo confined to the property, because the surf is pounding hard there and we wanted to avoid his unplanned beach excursions. The beach itself is ok for adults but, not good for very little kids who may get intimidated by the big water, if you drive to the other side (south) of the Anahola beach (closer to guard tower) you'll be able to swim/snorkel, water is much calmer there (still, watch out for the Portuguese man-a-wars). We usually had breakfast at the house and cooked a few dinners, otherwise it was to-go snacks and lunches on the road, and there are plenty of places to eat in the nearby Kapa'a.

It was that time of year again when my best friend and I were ready to check out of the world and get in some good chill Kauai time! We love staying where the locals live and were fortunate enough to discover this hidden gem in Anahola Bay! This beach house is cute and comfortable with all the amenities you will need to enjoy your time on the island. The kitchen is nice and large, greatly stocked with pots and other cooking gear and ready for cooking some fresh local Kauai fish, fruits & vegetables. The bedrooms are small, but cozy. The bathroom is also small, but if you’ve got 2-3 people max, it’s ok. We thought the indoor shower would be strange since it’s downstairs in the basement on its own, but actually we found it to be great with awesome water pressure! And then there’s the beach. It’s literally a 30 second walk to the beach – and a private one at that! We spent every single day in the water since it literally couldn’t have been easier, plus the outdoor shower at the cottage is perfect to rinse the sand out of all those hidden places after you get back. The view of the magical mountains from the backyard is enough to keep anyone interested and off their phones, TVs and other screens, and the 24 hr. roar of the ocean will leave you wanting to buy one of those sound machines for your bedroom since you won’t be able to imagine going back home and not having that amazing sound every day and night. For your groceries, 10 min up to Kilauea there is a health food market (overpriced, but quality) and 10 min down to Kapaa is a variety of restaurants and shopping. Our hosts Greg & Sue were lovely to deal with and all I can say is that we will definitely be back to the Hibiscus Hula Cottage as soon as possible!
