About this house rental

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).

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

Don’t hesitate to book Aloha Cottages! Everything was about it was welcoming and comfortable. The view speaks for itself. Susan and her family made it a pleasant stay. Thank you!

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.

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.

This house is absolutely adorable! We never caught the little road separating the house from the ocean in the pics but it’s one way traffic and has one lane for pedestrian and bike traffic so really wasn’t a busy road. It’s a short walk north to Baby Beach to enter the water since the only way to get in from the house would be to climb down a wall and onto lava rocks (not advised). The house is fully stocked with everything you need utensil, cup, and plate wise with a really lovely wooden china cabinet. There is no AC so make sure you keep the timer on the fans reset to stay cool and open all the windows. Never got hot at night so this method works. The guest rooms have standing fans too which help since they don’t get as much cool breeze as the master. Chickens will try to come in the open front doors but easy to get out. They also have all the beach gear you need, and the umbrellas were really life savers for our trip. There were three of us and we fit nicely. Wouldn’t recommend more than 3 adults or will be cramped as not a lot of storage in the guest bedrooms. If you have more adults I’d highly recommend renting the Moonrise cottage. Just a note if you don’t rent the Moon cottage as well then the wonderful hosts do stay there. The only complaint we can muster up is the difficulty locking the doors. Even following the steps it is still a challenge but eventually always worked out after messing with it for a while. The house and grounds are super nice and definitely what beach house dreams are made of. Being centrally located on the eastern shore meant equal distance trips to the north and south shores. Kapa’a is a super cute town with a great fruit stand and lots of shops that we enjoyed. In the end the hosts are incredibly responsive, super nice and welcoming, and just lovely people.

Great rental
Had a blast exploring Kauai with our 3 adult children and their partners. The house (for the kids) and cottage (for my husband and self) we’re perfect. Both were equipped with everything needed for our stay and the view from the porch was fantastic. The property manager stopped by to welcome us with some beautiful flowers from her garden. I would highly recommend this rental and we all hope to return soon!

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.

This stay was beyond our expectations!! From the ocean breeze all through the house with the storm shutters open, to looking for geckos like they were Easter eggs. The ocean view was enjoyed by all throughout many different parts of the day. Our hosts were spectacular!

Our family of 5 had our first trip to Hawaii and we stayed for 11 days in Sunrise cottage while we explored the island of Kauai. It was the perfect place to stay. The house itself is beautiful and clean and the owner Susan is a wonderful host. The house was centrally located on the East side of the island in Kapaa- so driving anywhere on the island was very easy and didn’t take up your whole day. Also, the sunrises every morning are out of this world! We also had whale sightings almost daily and even got to see a monk seal that came up on baby beach. One last thing that made this place really wonderful for our family and kids is all the stuff they have available for you to pack and take to the beach- boogie boards (our favorite), snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and beach towels. We went to the beach, hiking, or on an adventure every day and used something. Just something to think about when considering options to stay- this house has it all! Book it now- you will be so happy you did! Best trip ever!

Gorgeous escape in Kapa’a
A gorgeous property with amazing views. We found it to be centrally located with great access to get around the island. The little beach and walking path in the front of house offered an easy opportunity for individuals to get away.

Great ocean side location - watched whales breaching from the front porch. Great walk/bike path right there. Friendly neighbors who stopped to chat. Ten minute walk to swimming beach. Fifteen minute walk to shave ice!! Nicely equipped kitchen, grill and water/beach toys. Great open floor plan so everyone can talk while cooking. Local owners very responsive and friendly and keep the house well maintained. Good central location on island. We'd come back.

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!!

As advertised, the perfect location for easy access to trails, beach, food, and shopping all within walking distance. Great kitchen, lots of space, and an amazing sunrise view from the porch. Any minor issues we had were immediately resolved by the property manager, and they were happy to suggest great places to eat and snorkel.

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!

House was just as described (we rented the house and the cottage). Great location along the bike/walking path. Our favorite part was sitting on the lawn in the lounge chairs for coffee and happy hour with a beautiful ocean view. Plenty of beach towels, toys, chairs and umbrellas for guest to use. Grocery stores and restaurants were within walking distance. Host and property manager were available and easy to communicate with.

Perfect Retreat
The cottage is lovely and relaxing, which was exactly what we needed, and is in a great location to access the island. BUT, the view is AMAZING. Each morning you can sit on the porch or in a chair on the lawn and watch the sunrise and it is truly spectacular. What a wonderful way to start each and every day while you're on vacation. Susan and Jessica are so helpful both with recommendations and anything related to the house. We very much hope we can return.

Lovely house with beautiful views! Loved the bike/ walking trail in front of the house! We took long walks everyday along the beautiful ocean. The location was great for touring the island. Nice kitchen. We ate in for a couple meals most days. Highly recommend this lovely home.
