Wonderful location for the popular South Shore beaches! We loved walking down to see the turtles and seals and grabbing a Puka Dog and shaved ice. The rental is well equipped with anything you might need on vacation and the welcome basket was a real treat for our kids! Great communication from the owners.

Coco Cottage was the perfect getaway for our family of four. We enjoyed dining in the backyard in the mornings and evenings with the cool ocean breeze!The beds were really comfortable and each bedroom had its own AC. Everything you need is available in the home even Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys for kids, etc. Poipu Beach was a short walk away and we got to see many turtles and even monk seals! Would stay here again and highly recommend Coco Cottage for small families.

We had an AMAZING stay here! This was one of the few rentals we've stayed in where the home is even better in person than in photos. The location is perfect, with an easy walk to the beach. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed - the kitchen had more utensils and appliances than I even have at home and the beach supplies were a great addition to our stay. The air conditioners in the bedrooms kept them nice and cool in the evening. The owners were incredibly accommodating and communicative - they were friendly, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and well-equipped place to stay. We can't wait to come back!

Cute, spacious and impeccably clean cottage walkable to beach coves and restaurants. Perfect for 4 friends! We loved the large back porch and grill for outdoor hangs and enjoyed watching the birds every morning. Beautiful greenery surrounding the property so it felt very private. Really lovely, modern and well decorated spaces. Beach gear and coolers were such a nice bonus!

This is our second stay at the Shaw's property, and certainly won't be our last. I love the proximity to Poipu Beach and the many restaurants and shops in the area. My favorite part is that it's located off a quiet street, with low noise levels. The property itself is beautiful, with a comfortable lanai for sitting outside, even when it rains. The inside is beautifully appointed, with literally anything you might need to make it your home away from home. The Shaws are responsive to questions or requests. I would recommend this lovely property to anyone.

A perfect stay in Poipu for our family of four. The cottage is spacious and all the beds are super comfortable. The yard is wonderful with the best lanai to enjoy after a long day at the beach. The kitchen has everything you could ever need we even baked cookies on a rainy afternoon! Location is unmatched and the owners are not only organized and attentive but so kind. We have stayed in VRBO’s all over the world and this is one of our best stays. Highly recommend and we will definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Joan and Rick Shaw

Host profile image
We've lived on Kauai for over 40 years, and our grandchildren represent the 5th generation raised on the island. Rick's grandparents came to Kauai in the early 1920's; his grandfather was a civil engineer in the sugar plantation industry. We've traveled the world, but can't imagine living anywhere else. Until recently, Rick was a part-owner of Coldwell Banker Makai Properties, a local real estate company, which he sold to Coldwell Banker Island Properties from Maui. Rick is now a broker with CBIP and Joan recently retired after a long career in education.

Why they chose this property

Some of Rick's fondest memories include learning to swim, body surf, and surf at Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach. We have classic photos of his mother swimming there in the early 1930's. Our own daughters spent their childhoods on these shores. We were thrilled to find this little house for sale in 2016, as we could see the potential for a perfect vacation home. We spent most of 2017 renovating it, and adding all the special touches we would want in our own home.

What makes this property unique

The minute you kick off your shoes and enter Coco Cottage, you will feel yourself unwind and relax. With the French Doors open to the trade winds, ceiling fans gently turning, birds chirping outside, and the beach just steps away - you'll be in instant vacation mode. The kitchen offers everything you'll need to make a casual snack or turn out a gourmet meal. The king-size beds are of high quality and comfy, and plantation shutters ensure a good night's sleep. Both bedrooms have air conditioning units, giving you the option of a cool retreat on warm nights. The bathrooms are spacious and inviting, and the closets provide plenty of room for your belongings (bathing suit and shorts!). You can enjoy breakfast on the lanai, a run along the coastline, or a sunset picnic at the beach pavilion. We invite you to come, stay, and build special memories of your stay on Kauai.
