This home is truly magical. The home is modest but well appointed, the beds and linens are high quality and very comfortable. Mornings and evenings on the screened in porch melted years of stress away. This home sits on a private lot with Mountain View’s. Words don’t do it justice. Close to everything but made us feel connected to the quiet rhythms of the land.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful, peaceful property. It's even better in person :) Great location! The owner was very responsive. Fresh mangos & limes awaited us upon our arrival. Wish we could have stayed a couple more nights!! We would definitely stay here again. We left some earplugs behind for those sensitive to the rooster's crow in the early morning

Great private location, beautiful home and property. Fruit and flowers everywhere! Was hard to peel away from the spacious Lanai where we enjoyed many home cooked meals. The house had everything we needed, from grill to rice cooker to snorkel gear. Really appreciated the kitchen knives being sharp, too! Similar to other reviews, roosters were a thing but its part of an authentic experience! Diane was a great host.

Great location, great hosts

Situated right outside of old Koloa town and away from the hustle and bustle of all the resorts made it the perfect place to stay. The cottage was stocked with everythjng you'd need for your vacation--full kitchen, cookware, beach towels, goggles, etc. Highly recommend and would book again when I the island dueing my next visit.

Excellent stay

Located near a superb typical village, this villa is very well equipped, quiet (except the alarm clock in the rooster song) and allows you to quickly access the many wonderful places of the island. Essential car.

Rustic cozy and wonderful

By far, one of the best places we’ve stayed because of its rustic charm, ample space, good cozy vibes. This place was a wonderful experience to disconnect from it all and have some tranquility. It is a great property for families, and fairly close to a lot of the great hotspots, but without the crowds. Would definitely recommend anyone and look forward to returning soon.

Residential property, just what we were looking for in Koloa

We loved the cottage, location, fact that was in a residential neighborhood was a plus. We’ve stayed in the resort areas in the past and nothing compared to the location. Extremely quiet, clean, peaceful. Will return

Great vacation home!

This was the best vacation home ever. We most of all enjoyed sitting on the lanai and enjoying the view. The house is spacious and very well equipped. It’s only a short drive to Poipu Beach and a 10-minute walk to Koloa, which offers some nice souvenir shopping, restaurants and grocery store. The roosters woke us early every day as they live right outside the master bedroom, but we didn’t mind that too much. Definitely recommend this place!
