Best place on Kauai an island on an island

A little smaller than expected, is part of a triplex. We stayed in Hibiscus, which has nice light, a comfortable bed and is an easy walk to volcanic beaches, one with sea turtles- super rocky and well worth it, and the other with more tropical fish and more sand. It is a slightly longer walk to grocery stores, restaurants, and more shops. We enjoyed the back patio for breakfasts (when it wasn't raining) and some relaxed star gazing in the evening. We found that venting the windows and the ceiling fan running was sufficient for cool in November.

Great value for couples studio in South Kauai

Well configured studio in quiet neighborhood in Poipu area. Its an easy walk to Baby Beach and close to some really good restaurants and shopping in the Poipu/Koloa area. Well stocked by a responsive host. We enjoyed 10 days here comfortably in July and could easily have stayed longer.

Perfect place for our needs. Small but everything we needed. Really enjoyed the stay. If you have the opportunity, a fan in the bathroom would help with shower humidity. We will rent again when we return. Landlord did some nice extras that were greatly appreciated. Thanks

Nice week at Kauai Cove

Our unit at EJ's Kauai Cove Cottages was just perfect for our stay, with a quick walk to the beach for a swim & sunsets. We were close to many restaurants & beaches with easy parking for our rental car right out front. Comfortable, clean & stocked with supplies. Thanks for the coffee! The cottage was "as-advertised" and didn't disappoint.

Quaint studio in perfect location

My husband and I came for our first get-away without the baby (ok, he’s more of a toddler now) and this was the perfect location. EJ was super helpful when we had to change dates last minute. There is a thorough guide that gave us insight into everything close-by and we loved exploring from this less-crowded side of the island. There is an organic market within walking distance and the baby beach is adorable. One thing that I knew, but was a surprise to my husband who had only looked at pictures, is that this studio room is not a separate bungalow, but an attached row of three, so don’t be surprised that you share a wall with someone. We loved every second of our short stay and only wish we could have stayed longer!

The perfect cozy place!

Cozy yet roomy. Great island feel. Nice back patio where we ate breakfast every morning. Safe and quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to restaurants but you still need a car. It’s Hawaii after all! Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Bed was comfortable, shower was nice, kitchen well stocked. We don’t have one complaint.
