Oceanfront Hawaiian-Style Cottages :: Optional Guest Cottage

*CoronaVirus Update:* There are no domestic travel restrictions to Hawaii. No documentation or quarantine is required for domestic travel to Hawaii and interisland travel within Hawaii, effective March 26, 2022. Kauai specific information can be found at: https://www.kauai.gov/COVID-19

Just steps from the water, Aloha Cottages are the quintessential oceanfront accommodations - comfy furniture, wide plank wood floors, warm salt air breezes, and ocean views to soothe the soul. The front porch of Sunrise Cottage is a favorite spot for watching the ocean's changing moods (and whales during winter months). A blend of east coast Cape Cod and early Hawaiian-style homes, our vintage cottages are spacious and light with simple furnishings - everything you will need for a relaxing, rejuvenating Kauai get-away.

PROPERTY DETAILS
THE INTERIOR: French doors and large picture windows in the living/dining room of the main house afford panoramic ocean views. Two of the three bedrooms have queen-size beds and the same unforgettable ocean view. The third bedroom, furnished with two twin beds (optional King upon request), is a quiet retreat. Sunrise Cottage comfortably accommodates up to six people.

NEED MORE ROOM?? Add Moonrise Guest Cottage for another bedroom and bath to accommodate up to 2 more people, a total of up to 8 in both cottages (4 bedrooms/3 baths). Please contact me if you would like to include the guest cottage in your reservation and I will add it to your invoice to cover the rental fees ($1400 per week), taxes and cleaning ($250). Use both cottages together for a group of up to 8 friends or a multi-generational family gathering.

Recently remodeled Moonrise Guest Cottage has the charm of a bamboo canopy bed and peek-a-boo ocean view. The open, white interior is accented with soothing ocean blues for a fun, tropical ambience. A spacious food prep area (with refrigerator/freezer, coffeemaker, toaster, blender, microwave) is perfect for simple meals, along with the large outdoor stainless steel grill.

The beautifully remodeled kitchen of the main house offers gourmet cooks as well as microwavers a spectacular oceanview. The stainless steel countertop, pebble tile floor, and glassfront cabinets are reminiscent of vintage cottage decor. The upgraded appliances and granite-topped peninsula make it a cook's dream.

Both cottages are equipped with WiFi, flat-screen Smart TV and DVD player, all linens including beach towels, ceiling fans, down and faux-down bed pillows.

THE PATH: An exciting feature is the Seaside Walking and Biking Path that runs along the ocean, right past the property. Visitors enjoy the Path for exploring the coastline, past Kapaa Town, beaches and amazing ocean vistas. Kapaa has been voted one of America's 15 Prettiest Small Cities (Aug 2013) by Forbes Magazine, come and see why.

THE BEACH: Just in front of the cottage, less than 30 steps across the front lawn, is the soft sand and warm waters of 'Baby Beach,' one of the safest swimming beaches on the island for small children. Here you can enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, or even SCUBA for lobster in season. The quiet waterfront vintage neighborhood is just a short stroll from Kapaa Town, with charming shops and restaurants.

Loved our stay at Sunrise Cottage!
We loved our stay here. It was our first trip to Kawai and we found this location to be very convenient. Plenty of options to eat and shop nearby. We loved the cottage!! The host and house manager were very prompt to answer all our questions and provide assistance as needed. Would definitely stay here again!!

Nice family stay
The house is super cute and in a nice location. Floors and kitchen were a little dirtier than we expected. Loved sitting out on the lanai and front yard watching the sunrise and the bikers/walkers go by.

Lovely Kauai
Sunrise cottage has it all! Aside from the beautiful views and the great accommodation, its location is awesome for visiting west, south and north shores. We used the walking path daily and it was so convenient to visit eateries and sights in Kapaa. But the best part is the people and how responsive the host and property manager are when we have an issue. Thank-you for making our stay an unforgettable one. Mahola :)

Beautiful Aloha Cottage
We spent a week at this delightful cottage in Kapaa. The home is so comfortable and decorated so well. The view was gorgeous. We spent hours on the front porch watching the waves roll in and seeing whales. The location is excellent being close to town, the walking/biking path and restaurants. The owners were very friendly and helpful as was their daughter/manager Jessica. Loved our visit here and hoping to come back soon!!

Amazing host and amazing house
We can’t say enough about this. Wonderful home. Great location, great hosts. Perfect for the children to run around on the lawn. Perfect for the family to go fishing across the street or the children to go to the beach across the street. There are so many words that escape me to describe our time there.

Very nice Hawaiian house in a good, central location
A very good vacation house in Kauai. All 5 family members thought the house was perfect for our needs, was centrally located in Kapa'a, was very close to the ocean and had a nice walking path. Our property manager was responsive to our needs and even offered to dry our clothes when the dryer had issues (issues solved). We would go back.

Great vacation house rental in Kapaa!
We rented this vacation house for 8 nights and it was amazing. There were 6 of us so it was the perfect size. The location was great...right on the ocean, walking distance to the cute downtown area of Kapaa for shopping and restaurants. Also close to the grocery store. Since it was our first trip to Kauai we wanted to stay in Kapaa for our home base to get around the island easily and it worked out great. The house was very clean and included many amenities. We loved having the boogie boards available to use at the beach! We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this place!

Perfect
These sweet cottages were perfect for our family of 8 adults. The home is well supplied with kitchen items, and all the beach items available make it easy to show up and relax. There are plenty of places around the cottage to gather and enjoy the breeze of the ocean across the street. Close enough to stores and restaurants to walk. We would definitely come back. Susan is easy to work with and is a lovely person.

Simply perfect in every way
Imagine you go on vacation and stay at a place that has every big and little thing you would need during your stay. And beyond that, a place that has a bunch of other unexpected cool stuff! The Sunrise house at Aloha Cottages is this place. It was just perfect for us and our group of six (which included two kids and two grandparents). Everyone had an awesome time on Kauai, and the cottage made our lodging experience super extraordinary! Couldn't ask for anything better! ~Mahalo~

Fantastic Family Vacation
Aloha Cottages is a wonderful spot for a family vacation. Both cottages are clean with comfortable beds and plenty of hot water. We that's me, my sister from the UK; my son and daughter in law from Las Vegas; and my daughter, son in law and 2 grandchildren, aged 8 and 12 from Toronto visited for a week in August and had a great time. Close to Baby Beach and the small town of Kapaa, the location of the cottages is superb. Great to stroll along the bike path to Kapaa for coffee or a smoothie. While Waimea Canyon and other tourist must sees are easily reached by car. The ever-changing view of the Pacific from the porch was amazing and one of my favourite memories is of relaxing on the porch with a book and a glass of wine, watching as two yachts skim across the water.

Sunset Cottage Made our Trip
Kauai is paradise--truly. And after active days of hiking, snorkeling, sailing, biking and beaching we would return to our beautiful cottage and be lulled to sleep by the surf and awoken by the glow of the morning sky as the sun rose. Morning tea and sunrise on the porch was a daily ritual. The amazing kitchen and grill allowed us to cook most of our breakfasts and evening meals. The absolute highlight though was our last evening when a humpback whale played out front for more than an hour, raising its fins and slapping its tale (at least 50 times--we counted). We went home to Minnesota refreshed, restored and committed to return. Mahalo!

Kapaa paradise
This was our first time staying in Kapaa. But from now on we ONLY want to stay In Kapaa!! The house is absolutely perfectly situated, and the view…….unbeatable. The home was perfect for those of us that stayed there. It’s very roomy, open, airy,; and it was great for cooking, barbecuing and having our very, very large family over for meals. The 8 mile walk/biking path right in front is fantastic. Made getting our daily exercise in easy and a pleasure. I could go on and on, and on. Everyone that spent time with us also loved it. We are all looking at our calendars so we could book the next trip!!!! Hats off to the owner and manager of this AMAZING home.

If this house came up on your search, you are very, very lucky, indeed!
We rented this house for a week and were totally blown away with its location and charm. The pictures do not lie. I rent a home every year for my son, daughter in law and two grandchildren. This is the first time we all said we'd like to do the same thing next year. We felt as though we landed in paradise, and not just because of the beautiful island of Kauai, but this amazing home as well. They seem to book up pretty quickly, as our first choice for next year was already booked. We are determined to make it work so we're back to the drawing board to find new dates. The homeowners have immense pride of ownership in their property and it shows.

Truly Perfect
I rented both Sunrise and Moonrise cottages last year for a very special vacation with my two grown children and their spouses, and one grandchild. We loved everything about our trip--the location was perfect for exploring the island, the town of Kapaa was charming, the walking/bike path winds right along the beautiful coastline, and being right on the ocean gave us easy access to Baby Beach and the continual peace of the waves and breezes. Everything we could have possibly wanted for cooking was right at hand, including a great barbecue. I returned this summer for a week "solo"--and loved my time at Sunrise just as much. I spent hours on the porch reading novels and watching the ocean, peaceful evenings being soothed by the sound of the waves, and a few side trips to Poipu and Hanalei. I came home refreshed and looking forward to my next visit to this beautiful home away from home. Truly a slice of paradise!!!

Beautiful Kapa'a House
I've stayed in Kapa'a on Kauai many times over the past 20 years, and have long admired the Sunrise Cottage. I finally was able to stay there for 2 weeks in March 2019 - it was fabulous! Right on the walking path, at the quiet end, and directly in front of the ocean. We watched the sunrise daily while sipping coffee on our front porch. The house was very well-appointed and comfortable, with plenty of space for togetherness and privacy. The kitchen was full of everything we needed for cooking, including barbeque utensils and supplies. When it was too windy to sit out front we could sit on the cozy back deck. Kauai is full of fun things to do, but we were often tempted to hang around the house and the neighborhood, because it was so nice to be there! This house was everything I had hoped for, and more.

Cottage on Kauai
Both my husband and I enjoyed the cottage. It was comfortable, well-stocked with things like knives, dishes, spices…everything one needs, even plastic glasses for the beach. The pedestrian/bike walkway to the left of the house goes for nearly 4 miles…maybe more. It’s easier to walk to the town of Kapa’a via this walk than to drive and find a parking spot. It’s no more than 1/4-1/2 mile to the Olympic Cafe and shops. We had a lot of rainy weather so both times we went to Hanalei, it was raining and both times we got alerts on our phones warning of severe weather and that the bridge may be closed without notice. We didn’t miss not having AC in the house. It is well ventilated with the louvered windows throughout. The house is just as cute as the photos.
