Sweet Rustic Cottage ~ Ocean View ~ Short walk to beach
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Anahola, this charming cottage for R 3,755 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. A Classic Kauai Cottage on Acres of Beautiful Grounds. Away from developments and the public. More Island Artsy Than Corporate. Two ceiling fan's in living room and one ceiling fan in bedroom. One floor fan. Nice, natural breeze normally. Watch the sunrise off the ocean horizon from bed. Enjoy quiet time under the shade of the Pink Tacoma trees in the hammock which embraces both ocean & mountain views. IDEAL FOR NATURE LOVERS ONLY... because, although the cottage does get pest control quarterly, you may still see insects. It's part of being in a tropical climate. Its a short 15 to 20 minute walk down a shady little road to beautiful Anahola Beach. In case of a tsunami warning you will NOT need to evacuate as we are not in the evacuation zone. Our retreat is located in the East for a great base to explore both sides of the island. Also within 25 minute walking distance is a little general store, post office, ono char burger stand.

This cottage was perfect--close to the highway to get anywhere on the island, but so rural and peaceful with chickens everywhere and goats just down the hill (goat yoga!). Diana is a wonderful and helpful host. We were very comfortable and happy there.

We had an incredible time staying in Diane’s cottage. So peaceful! Our only regret is that we could not stay longer! With more time, we would’ve spent an entire day there, just to enjoy the surroundings.
We can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Rustic Cottage so much!!! The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean to stay in. It was magical waking up each morning to the beautiful sunrises and the sounds of the birds and roosters. It definitely is a piece of paradise to experience!

The Monihan Farm was absolutely magical. The cottage was beautiful and clean and the views were amazing! The pictures online do not do this property justice. Way more beautiful then what the pictures show. We will definitely try to come back!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It is a beautiful, quiet and secluded location. It had everything we needed and very organized. Located on the farm is goat yoga which was so much fun and highly recommended to try. Thank you for sharing your cottage. https://www.808goatyoga.com/

We just loved this property. The sunrises were incredible and it was so private. We loved the country noises (roosters, chickens, and birds). The cottage had everything you needed and the location was central to beautiful beaches and the north shore. Can’t wait to come back!

This place was still close to everything we had planned. Yet once we went back to the cottage, it was so quiet and peaceful! The neighborhood dog came to visit, which we absolutely loved the chickens or on the porch, and we loved hearing them every morning! The morning sunrise was absolutely gorgeous! Everything was perfect

At home, we live in a condo and hear plenty of human activity around us. It was a wonderful change to have a home retreat for our stay. The setting is beautiful and a nice change from the usual tourist spots. The cottage is roomy and has what one needs for a relaxing stay.

We enjoyed our week long stay! The place was reasonably clean and cute. The views were spectacular of both the mountains and ocean. We loved the dogs Coconut and WaiWai who frequently visited. Close to Kapa’a but rural enough where we slept with windows open and doors unlocked. Very peaceful and relaxing. Great that they have a cooler, snorkel gear, beach chairs, beach towels, etc already there for you to use. It was fantastic to have a washer, dryer AND clothes line.
Nice little place.

A quiet and quaint home perfect for a few days of downtime. The location in Anahola is situated perfectly between the north and south shore - making each easily accessible.

Isolated yet close proximity to local attractions. Super cute with farm animals to keep you company. Lots of birds, flowers and sounds of nature. Faces magnificent sunsets with a peek of the ocean. Home is inviting, clean, unique and has everything you need. Nice bed, hot hot water with good water pressure. Laundry and clothes line available along with adventure gear. Very pleased with this location and our stay.

Quiet, great location. Enjoyed the snorkel equipment, boogie board, noodle, beach chairs. So thoughtful. Saw five wild pigs passing through.
Gorgeous view of ocean. Birdsong. Everything you’d want in a kitchen.
Best place we’ve ever stayed.

This tucked-away little cottage was just what we were looking for on this trip to Kauai. The grounds and neighborhood felt very safe and welcoming and have a sense of community but privacy. Diana is close by and very responsive and caring but not intrusive. The flowers and lush vegetation surround a large lawn where the chicken and birds gathered. The morning birdsong and sunrises were such a joyful start of each day.
You can easily walk to the ocean which has a nice beach and river. Surfing too. There was quite a bit of rain for the first few days which added to the beauty. Anahola is a nice spot to retreat after a day of activities. Don't be afraid of a little rain or weather. It adds to the vibe, continue with your planned activities... it will change.
The cottage is well equipped, peaceful and comfortable. A small Market nearby has the basics and the Kalalea Juice Bar is a must do! You can shop for big groceries at Costco in Lihue or at Safeway in Kapa'a which is only 20 minutes away. The other nice thing about Anahola is that it's pretty easy to get to things both north and south. It was a perfect stay for us and if you like something "less touristy", we highly recommend it. Mahalo Diana.

This place is amazing! We throughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. It was so peaceful and quiet, ocean view in the front and mountain view in the back. The cottage is fully stocked with everything that you could need. We usually stay at resorts when we visit Hawaii, but we have tasted paradise and will return. Thanks Diana!

Great location close to kapaa and north shore. Lovely cottage w/ views of King King mountain on one side and sunrise over Anahola beach on the other. Bed very comfortable. All you need to cook an amazing meal for has been provided. We could not have asked for a more perfect space to retreat and launch for all our Kauai adventures. Diana is an amazing and kind hostess. We loved being here and hope to return.

We loved this cottage. It had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and the prefect spot to come back to after a day out on the island. We appreciated the beach gear and the washer / dryer was great as we were there for 9 days. The sunrise from bed was beautiful. If you are looking for a laid back, private, unique location this is the cottage. Mahalo Diana. We loved it there!

This cottage is in a charming country setting with one neighbor offering goat yoga. It is absolutely private and quiet - the only sounds we heard were the birds, roosters and the distant surf. The kitchen has been updated and was very well equipped and neatly organized making cooking enjoyable. The bathroom has also been updated and the bed was very comfortable. There is a large lawn and a distant ocean view in front and a spectacular view of Kalalea Mountain in the back. We walked to Anahola Beach from the cottage. It’s a little less than a mile, about half through the woods and half down a quiet road lined with large beautiful trees. The beach is lovely. There are many lovely beaches within 30 minutes of the cottage. Our favorites were Paliku (Donkey) Beach and Moloa’a. There’s a wonderful paved walkway from Kapa’a to just beyond Donkey Beach which is just a few minutes from the cottage. We avoided Kapa’a except for going to Sam’s Ocean View, which was great. We shopped in Kilauea and Princeville. Kilauea has several nice cafes and a good bakery. Princeville has a good grocery store. Diana, the owner, provided excellent directions and information for checking in. It couldn’t have been easier.

What a cute rustic cottage. The immediate neighborhood was adorable. I loved the mountain view. Close to the ocean. You could even see a small bit of it from the cottage. We loved the north side of the island and it was a short drive from Anahola. Kapa’a was charming and very close. Duane had everything we needed for the beach.

Perfect location for exploring the island, north and south. A quiet getaway from the business of other towns. Dianna was a good communicator and host and responsive to requests and questions. The house is well equipped and nicely decorated.

We really loved this cute, clean cottage in a quiet area. It was very clean and well setup with things you might need, including a beach umbrella, chairs, beach mats, laundry area with detergent, games and books. Diana has been a friendly and responsive host. Convenient access to nice beaches, the north shore, as well as good hiking inland. The cottage would be our first choice if we return to Kauai.
