About this property

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, checkerboard 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.

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.

Peacefull and Fun Cottage Stay
We enjoyed the location, cleanliness and roominess of Sunrise Cottage. The Moonrise Cottage was a big plus. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the water sports equipment were an added plus!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Hoerner

Host profile image
Charlie and I have been married for 53 years (whew!) and have two grown daughters, one of whom is now our Property Manager. We divide our time between our cottages on Kauai and our house in Portland, Oregon. Charlie has retired from the high tech world where he was a consultant and trainer. I am a retired graphic designer. Now we like to hike and bike, read and travel.

Why they chose this property

We visited Kauai for the first time in 1996, absolutely loved it, and upon leaving fantasized about living here, if just for a short time. But unlike so many fantasies, this one came true. We rented Sunrise Cottage for 18 months and ultimately purchased the property, soon adding Moonrise Cottage as a second rental. The experience of being right on the ocean is like no other, we love watching the weather cross the sky, the colors and moods of the ocean change. The property is within easy walking distance of Kapaa Town, recently recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of America's prettiest small towns (Aug '13), and central to all the many wonderful things to do and see on the island. We love to recommend our favorite places to shop and eat, locally.

What makes this property unique

The front lawn of Sunrise Cottage is situated to enjoy the unforgettable sun and moon rises over the ocean, which we celebrate regularly. We use the new seaside walking/biking path almost every day to walk or bike into town, to Kealia Beach or just for some exercise. The short three mile drive to Sleeping Giant Mountain hiking trail is one of our regular expeditions, giving great cardio and amazing views of the entire eastern shoreline of the island. Our sweet little neighborhood is quiet and tucked away yet convenient for shopping, services and for getting around the island.
