About this property

Sweet Rustic Cottage ~ Ocean View ~ Short walk to beach

A Classic Kauai Cottage on Acres of Beautiful Grounds. Away from developments and the public. More Island Artsy Than Corporate. Two ceiling fan's in living room and one ceiling fan in bedroom. One floor fan. Nice, natural breeze normally.

Watch the sunrise off the ocean horizon from bed. Enjoy quiet time under the shade of the Pink Tacoma trees in the hammock which embraces both ocean & mountain views.

IDEAL FOR NATURE LOVERS ONLY... because, although the cottage does get pest control quarterly, you may still see insects. It's part of being in a tropical climate.

Its a short 15 to 20 minute walk down a shady little road to beautiful Anahola Beach. In case of a tsunami warning you will NOT need to evacuate as we are not in the evacuation zone.

Our retreat is located in the East for a great base to explore both sides of the island. Also within 25 minute walking distance is a little general store, post office, ono char burger stand.

Wonderful cottage in a magical place, with gorgeous sunrises, birds singing, the blue ocean in the distance, soft breezes, a shaded hammock in the yard. Marvelous stars at night.

Amazing property/location. Far enough to be away from the tourist traps & resorts & close enough for daily adventures with near by secluded beaches. Fabulous stay with everything we needed at the cottage. Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic hideaway in the hills, tranquil with constant cool sea breezes -- far from the crowds and tourists, a true getaway to chill and close to lots of great beaches and snorkel spots on the east shore. We spent a perfect week and would have loved to stayed longer.

Beautiful home with amazing views. Lovely visitors, four paws. Diana was a lovely host. Grateful for her sharing her beautiful, peaceful cottage. Close to beautiful beaches. You can walk to one and travel the island easily. Diana had all needs covered for a day yo the beach. No better place to come home to besides your own. Thank you! Looking forward to returning!

Many VRBO reviews mention that they enjoyed the property so much that they plan to return again in the future. We loved everything about our stay in Diana’s cottage so much that we actually just finished our second visit in just under a year. Based on the many return visitors who signed the guest book, we are not the only ones who feel this way!Other reviews outline the property details, so I will limit this one to say that she has created a very special place that feels like home in an exceptional setting. And yes, we are already planning our next stay!!

Perfect Kauai oasis

What a lovely place - we felt so at home and had everything we needed. Loved that beach accessories like chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, etc were there to use. The house felt so secluded and we enjoyed that it was a bit off the beaten path. Would highly recommend!

Great secluded retreat

This property was perfect for our little island getaway. It was secluded but within a good distance from all the island events. Definitely rustic. Make sure you are okay with bugs, lizards and chickens. Bug spray is going to be your best friend.

Another Wonderful Stay!

Our daydreams are filled with memories of our stay at the cottage! What a beautiful and peaceful place to be. During our stay, we walked from the cottage down to Anahola Beach, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything about the cottage and surrounding garden it’s so very pretty. Also, great original art featured throughout.Our daydreams will continue!
