We loved our four-night stay here! Lovely cottage, nicely decorated/updated, well-stocked kitchen, and an absolutely beautiful backyard, we spent a lot of time out there. They also had a great variety of beach/hiking supplies which was a nice bonus. Easy access to Waimea canyon and hiking and close to the south shore beaches too. Was perfect for our family of four.

After a wedding on the northside, this little cottage was the perfect way to end our trip. The place was clean and had everything we could need. The outdoor shower was a bonus! Walking distance from the beach and all the points of interest. Great for a family getaway! Mahalo!

The Waimea Beach Cottage (WBC) was the perfect place to stay. It was well-appointed with everything you need — beautiful towels, comfy mattresses and sheets, outdoor shower, and lovely backyard as described. You even have your own charming roosters (bring earplugs and you’ll be fine). The ocean was a short distance to the back and the main street was a block away. From small, local merchants, one can find tasty shaved ice, smoothies, coffee, burgers, tacos, burritos, and more by walk-in or driving a few minutes. It is conveniently located to visit the Canyon, Kaua’i Coffee Company, Hanapepe Friday Art Night, and Captain Andy’s at Port Allen. For anyone wanting to experience the charm of small town Hawai’i away from resorts, immerse yourself in culture, and have comfortable amenities at an affordable price, WBC is the place for you.

While the cottage itself was cute inside and remodeled was not expecting to see trash on the porch as we pulled up. As we went in at first it looked great. Our biggest issue was the front door. It did not have a door knob. Upon further looking at it from the inside it looked like a piece of plywood in the middle with 3 locks one was a hook and eye lock and the other two were slide locks that you typically see in a restroom on their door. For it being three women staying there it did not seem safe at all. The beach was very dirty with homeless people. I do understand that does happen here but there was no one else on the beach, I would not have gone for a walk by myself. The neighbors were loud and there was a very loud screech coming from their house made it impossible to enjoy the patio. The back yard was quite nice though. We ended up letting them know we would not be staying there as we did not feel safe. With the 30 min we were there we saw police circling the neighborhood multiple times. It made us wonder why and did not leave us with a good feeling. In talking to the owners they were a little shocked and said they have not heard of that happening but they did wish us well. We did know leaving we would not see a refund and ended up staying in a hotel. It was much easier to sleep knowing that no one could get in the door.

We had three in our party. The beach cottage allowed us to explore the Waimea side of the island and to visit with our Kauai family. The back yard was a beautiful treat for the children. We had dinners together after playing in the water. It was a great week.

We chose this location because we wanted to be closer to hiking spots. We were also looking for a bit quieter, laid-back area.
We were not far from the entrance to Waimea Canyon and Koke'e State Park. Worked really great for us! We had a great beach to walk, steps from the house and a great swimming beach approximately 15 minutes away (Salt Pond Beach Park).
Great restaurants and a grocery store also steps away. Very convenient and nice people.
The house had everything we wanted or needed. Very comfortable rooms, neat outdoor shower, washer and dryer and comfortable living room. They even provided a lighted make-up mirror.
My only caution on this house and neighborhood are the roosters. They are EVERYWHERE! Totally not the fault of the owners, roosters are everywhere on Kauai, but the 4 am crowing was not fun. We finally figured out how to use the high fan speed on the room coolers and that did help mitigate the sound. Would highly recommend this property.

It is so clean and wonderfully located... you feel like you're coming home.The backyard is beautiful and private.We liked to stay on this side of the island where it was a little quieter and then traveling around the rest of the island during the day. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. To have the body boards and umbrella and washer and dryer and everything you would possibly need there to go and enjoy a day ....was so convenient too. Thank you so ...highly recommend.

We had a great stay- house was clean, kitchen is nicely updated. The outdoor tub and shower was great- recommend over the indoor shower. Quiet location- very close to drive up to Waimea Canyon, easy drive to busier south shore beaches. Short walking distance to grocery store, but be prepared restaurants in town close early.

Perfect cottage close to beach., although not swimmable but a long sandy beach.
Cottage was stocked with all the amenities and decorated so well.
Appreciated the laundry cubes and coffee.
Within walking distance to small town for shopping and restaurants.
Outside bath and shower were perfect! Never used the indoor bath!
Security motion lights and large fenced yard made us feel safe. Would definitely return.

The cottage was delightful. It is very clean, well equipped and suited our needs. It is conveniently located to all activities on the south side of the island, with short drives to Poipu, Koloa & the Waimea Canyon. 4:00 Check-in was delayed a bit. We arrived at 4:15, but the cottage was still being cleaned. We could not access the cottage until 5:15. The beach is very close by, but somewhat dirty. Otherwise our stay was wonderful. Mahalo!

The cottage was comfortable with both ceiling fans and AC. The kitchen has the tools you need to really cook. The front porch was great for morning coffee. The backyard was roomy and enjoyable to spend time in. The outdoor shower made it easy to clean up after a day at the beach or hiking without tracking in sand or mud. Comfortable beds. Easy walking distance to JoJo’s shave ice, Island tacos, Porky’s, the Mama Bear food truck and more.

Easy check- in and quick responses from the host. Great place to stay!

We absolutely loved this home! It was very clean, had great amenities (fully stocked kitchen supplies for cooking, extra outdoor shower, beautiful backyard and patio, beach items, etc.), was peacefully decorated, and is a great location for accessing the Waimea Canyon. I spent a lot of time enjoying the backyard because they did such a good job, feels like an oasis! My husband and I loved being in the home and the location really gives you a “local” feel. We could walk to the grocery store and restaurants. The beach was easily accessed, but was pretty littered on the path leading up to it. We only used this beach to watch the sunset. We drove to other beaches to swim and do other beach activities because the water is pretty rough and cloudy here. The house is pretty close to a place that does live music in the evenings and the fire station, but it never bothered us. We always bring a portable sound machine when traveling anyway. Highly recommend staying at this home!

The reviews were spot on. The house was equipped with everything we need. The backyard is a beautiful private space to hang out. We enjoyed our coffee out there in the morning and dinner in the evening. The outside shower and tub are a wonderful treat after a long day out at the beach or on the trails. It is located in a neighborhood so very few other visitors in the area. We had a sense of what life is like for the people of Kauai. Highly recommended.

The location was beautiful and an easy drive to Poipu and other popular places (which were all detailed in the guest book at the cottage).

We enjoyed our stay at the Waimea Cottage. The property is extremely clean and has a wonderful fenced in backyard with a nice seating area. Comfy beds and a great Smart TV make the inside feel like home. Very close to the Waimea Canyon entrance and some good restaurants in the town itself. We didn’t use the beach as the island offered better options. There is a homeless population along the beach which inevitably means trash or items such as sleeping bags and mattresses within view of the cottage. We never felt unsafe and enjoyed using the property as a home base while we explored the southern part of the island. The shower head could use some updating or cleaning, streams of water were going in odd directions due to clogs. A/C units kept the inside very comfortable. Would rent again.

Stove, microwave and refrigerator are up to date. there are laundry facilities with newer model LG washer and dryer. There is a newer gas grill. the bed is very comfortable. The living room has a larger TV, comfortable sofa and dining table. The owners clearly take pride in their property. With 2 bedrooms, the cottage would be great for families. The backyard is large. The cottage is just across the road from the beach, only a hundred feet or so from the water. And the beach is wonderful, one of the best we have seen on the island. Being in Waimea, this is the entrance to driving up to the canyon so you don't to drive across the bottom of the island to get to it.

This was a wonderful property, and exactly what my wife and I were looking for. If you are looking for a quiet location away from the hustle of the resorts, this is it. Waimea is a neat little town whose sign says it is a "walking town." It is absolutely correct. The strolling beach across the street, the steakhouse and bar next door (which are not loud), the two markets within two blocks, and the other restaurants only a few blocks away make this property a super convenient location to save a little gas.
The kitchen and bath are very well stocked, and there were more supplies than we needed. We loved the cute backyard in this property (though it's only accessible from outside.) One of the biggest luxuries we appreciated at this property was the beach supplies. We used the beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, and umbrella, and were so thankful they were all there for our use.
We would recommend this property to any couples or small families looking for a quiet home in a slow paced, yet well stocked little town.

The kitchen and bath are very well stocked, and there were more supplies than we needed. We loved the cute backyard in this property (though it's only accessible from outside.) One of the biggest luxuries we appreciated at this property was the beach supplies. We used the beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, and umbrella, and were so thankful they were all there for our use.
We would recommend this property to any couples or small families looking for a quiet home in a slow paced, yet well stocked little town.

Beautifully recently remodelled beach cottage. The cottage was clean with nice amenities. We especially liked the yard and patio. Waimea is in the part of the island the locals live - not hotels and there are very few rentals. It's an ideal location for exploring Waimea Canyon, Hanapepe, Polihale State Park, and Kauai Coffee planation.
My wife wished there was a dishwasher, but the sink and kitchen was very clean. I used the 'Island Gym' which was 10 minutes away in Hanapepe.

What a perfect place to chill. Place is immaculate. Restaurant on the corner is the best and the food was amazing. Big Save has everything you need in a market. We will come back again.

The Waimea Beach Cottage is super cute! If you want a clean, comfortable place to stay very close to Waimea canyon then this is it! Location is perfect to quickly get to wonderful view points of the canyon and the Napali Coast and an abundance of hiking trails. The cottage was very clean and exactly as advertised. Our daughter loved the bed-her favorite of our 3 week stay in Hawaii. I loved the backyard-so “Hawaiian”. We grilled out back both nights and enjoyed the peacefulness (and full moon) while relaxing in the backyard. I also loved showering outside in Hawaii!! The only suggest I have would be to have a door that leads directly to the backyard from inside the house. We had to go out the front or side doors and through back gates to get to the backyard from inside the house. But all-in-all, we loved our stay here!!!

The cottage was the perfect size for our family of three. It was the perfect size and after having six days of travel under our belt it was great to have a comfy couch and TV to hang out for a few hours.
First the house - Very clean. Kitchen a great size. We didn't end up cooking but used the kitchen for quick breakfast and snacks. Beds were comfy. Towels were super fluffy.

We stayed in the cottage for a few nights while in Waimea. This place is a great home base for hiking as well as being right across the street from the black sand beach of Waimea. The cottage was beautifully updated on the inside, clean, and had all the amenities. The outdoor space in the backyard was especially enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and destination Kauai (great communication and details!!) for a stay on the west side.

Beautiful little blue cottage so close to the beach! The rooms were were all nicely re-done and comfortable. Very private back yard, and a front porch for morning coffee. My husband LOVED the gas stove in the kitchen! The cottage had everything we needed and then some.

This piece of property had everything you could image. Attention to detail. Would highly recommend it. Just a note. The button for overhead shower was not that obvious. And truly that is my only negative thing to say. Adorable place.

The cottage was well organized, clean and very convenient to accessing the Waimea Canyon. It was walking distance to a great restaurant and grocery store. I am sensitive to scent though so the a plug in air freshener was overwhelming and hard to air out the smell. Also the place would get very hot during the day as we left the a/c off when we were out. Finally we did see bugs on the kitchen counter which meant fastidious monitoring of any food preparation. But it was a nice place overall.

We stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon while we explored the island! The town is a local, chill town - perfect to escape the crowded resorts and tourists. We spent a lot of time in Waimea and Koke’e state parks, and this was the perfect location to do so. The beach across the street is beautiful, although it is not advised to swim in. Perfect for morning and sunset walks and so convenient to have so close by. The property is very well maintained, stocked kitchen, and plenty of space with a beautiful and private back patio. The Wrangler Steakhouse which is a short walk away, was the hot spot in the town at night, and we enjoyed making friends with the bartender! Gina’s Anytime is amazing for a quick breakfast and coffee.
10/10 would stay here again.

It was truly hard to put the keys back and leave this little charmer in Waimea. We fell in love with every square inch of this beautifully remodeled cottage.
If you want to feel like you are part of Kauai, this is the place to stay. We've done the fancy resorts with their overpriced cocktails and crowded beaches, and while they have their place, we've found that we'd rather meet the people who live on the island, those who call this magnificent place home and those who want to share their culture with others. For that type of experience, we'd recommend staying in Waimea where your neighbors aren't tourists.
This cottage is clean and well appointed. The beds are comfy, towels are fluffy and you'll find everything you need to cook a gourmet meal, or bbq in the STUNNINGLY landscaped backyard. It's an older home, so you must like quirky details, like claw foot tubs and hardwood floors.
The beach is a 30 second walk and in a week's stay, we only say one other person out there. You can see the water from the front porch and hear the waves from your bedroom window. If you're coming for a relaxing vacation, you will definitely find it here! If you are an explorer, this place is perfect situated for a short drive to Poipu or Waimea Canyon and more! There are groceries within walking distance and plenty of restaurants too.
WE WILL ABSOLUTELY BE BACK NEXT YEAR!
