Private Beach Cottage on Acreage-Hot Tub, Views, Kayak, WiFi in Kilauea

Our newest Kauai North Shore vacation rental is a wonderful private new one bedroom, one bath handcrafted rental honeymoon cottage on our organic 7.5 acre Kauai North Shore estate/gardens parcel. The handcrafted cottage has ocean and mountain views and a brand new hot tub, as well as close walking-distance beach proximity. Our guests love it, and many have come back for a second visit.

The cottage is an exquisite, architecturally interesting, sustainable farmed redwood home with lots of special features and privacy, about 100 yards (and lots of hedges and trees) from our house, and is accessed via a completely private 200 foot long rolled gravel driveway from the paved cul-de-sac road.

The cottage is comfortably and tastefully furnished, island style, with a handcarved king sized poster bed with soft cotton sheets in the bedroom, a tiled bathroom, and a full-on entertainment center with satellite TV, DVD, and CD stereo. In addition there is wireless broadband internet access!

Furniture and furnishings are oriental and island-style, with some antiques and original art. For those interested in preparing meals, there is a tiled food preparation area with hot plate, microwave, dishwasher, and full size refrigerator. For convenience sake, we have installed a washer and dryer, as well as a hot and cold outdoor shower for washing the sand off when returning from Kahili-Quarry beach, which is just down the road, or any other one of the 10 world class beaches nearby.

As a special perk, the cottage also comes with a Tandem Kayak, complete with paddles, backrests, life preservers and car roof rack, perfect for jungle river adventures on Kauai's numerous waterways. That's a WAY fun experience and quite easy, even if you have never kayaked before!

Consistent trade brezes keep you cool and refreshed although, to be on the safe side, we have installed decorative tropical ceiling fans in both the bedroom and the living room.

There are a myriad of world class beaches close nearby. Kahili Quarry Beach is within walking distance, or you may zip down with your rental car. Kalihiwai Beach and the trailhead to Secret Beach are just 6-7 minutes away. Also nearby are Anini Beach, Hideaways, Waiakalua (wanna be all alone on a tropical beach?) and the scenic Kilauea Lighthouse and the Crater Hill National Wildlife Refuge.

When looking at a map of Kauai, use the Kilauea Lighthouse as a locator- it is the northernmost point on the island, and Twin Hearts is about 1.5 miles to the southeast. The location is convenient- close to restaurants, bakeries, 2 farmer's markets each week, and fun shopping. It is an easy drive further west to Princeville (10 minutes) or Hanalei (15 minutes) yet not far the other direction to
the East and South sides and to Waimea Canyon on the West side.

So let's see... ocean views, mountain views, hot tub, privacy, beach proximity, kitchen, dishwasher, washer, dryer, wireless broadband internet access, a full-on entertainment center, a kayak, and a stunning, affordable handcrafted cottage. It doesn't get better than this. Come to Kauai and enjoy it in class at this private beach cottage!
