Beautiful backyard garden- lots of privacy

The enclosed back porch is a very relaxing place to sit quietly with a book or tablet. We loved this place. We will be repeat offenders!

Comfortable Little Cottage

We loved this property! Very clean & comfortable with all the necessities. The location is great -- very easy to find and right outside of Kapaa with easy access to all parts of the island. The weather was cool and rainy for much of our stay (which is why it is such a beautiful, lush island!), so did not get much use of the pool, but it is a nice addition for warmer weather. We would definitely stay at Sleeping Giant Cottage again.

Relaxing Kauai Getaway.

We had a lovely stay at the Sleeping Giant Cottage. We loved having our coffee in the morning sitting on the screened in lanai, to be fair we spent almost all our waking time on the lanai. We were able walk to the trailhead for the Sleeping Giant. We enjoyed the privacy of the plunge pool and it was a great place to cool off! The cottage was surrounded by greenery and trees, it was very nice to just enjoy the views. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals at home. There is no AC in the cottage, however they supply plenty of fans and there is great air flow in the house with lots of windows and sliding doors. Location of the Cottage was great for us, it was secluded and tucked away from the main villages. It took about 11 minutes to get into Wialua by car. We would definitely come back and recommend for couples looking for a relaxing getaway.

Paradise!

Normally we stay at a beach resort when we visit Kauai but we wanted to have the opportunity to cook our own meals this time. We will definitely be returning to this little cottage. Super clean, excellent communication from hosts. Super cool cat that lives on the property! Short drive to the beach and downtown Kapaa. Perfect location to avoid contra flow traffic as there are a few ways to get to the cottage, so no waiting around! The pool is perfect size for a small family. Enjoy the sounds of the birds and just relax! Thank you Michelle and Rohin, we will be back soon. Oh and this cottage has ALL the beach equipment you could possibly need. Chairs, umbrella, ice chests, snorkel gear. You name it, they have it.

Very nice with a few problems

This was a very nice property and exactly as advertised. Neighborhood was out of the city proper but convenient to everything. Plunge pool was cold but a nice addition. Screened porch was fantastic.. However, window sills were not cleaned and, more significantly, three of the pillows had mold on them. Yes, Kauai is very damp, but this certainly should have been noted in the cleaning process and the pillows replaced. Maybe understandable for a budget hotel, but at the price charged, greater care and oversight should have been exercised.

Two Boomers

The cottage, just up the hill in a residential area at the base of the Sleeping Giant Mountain, was exactly as represented and perfect for us Kauai is not that large of an island ; therefore the central location of the cottage made it easy to reach anyplace on the island you wanted to go. Minutes away to the south is Lihue, airport, COSTCO, Walmart, Target. To the north Kapaa, Safeway and the best shave ice on the island ...Wailua Shave Ice (Strawberry/Mango with snow cap and foam). Day trips north are Hanalei and south/west to Waimea and Kokee State Park. If you want to feel like you are at home, kitchen, laundry, screened lanai, lush yard then it’s perfect. If you want maid service, room service, walk to restaurants and bars or an all inclusive experience it’s not the place for you. For us it was perfect, neighborhood cat “Tortilla” would saunter by to say hi and the outside garden shower was more than delightful. Hawk and “T” (Boomers on a honeymoon)

Really great spot

It's not far from whatever you need, but also out of the way enough that it feels private and more remote. The property itself is perfect for honeymooners. We stayed in three VRBOs during our honeymoon in Hawaii, and this was my wife's favorite.

Weekend Tournament

We came across this property because it was close to the sporting complex our sons tournament was being held at. We absolutely love this cottage. It was clean and comfortable. Perfect for our little family. The kitchen has everything you need. The two porches and the little plunge pool were great. I would definitely stay here again. The host was very quick to message back and accommodate us. Mahalo The Medeiros Ohana

Perfect for Kauai Adventure

We found this house to be the perfect location for exploring the island!! The house was as advertised - I would describe it as clean and cozy. It was wonderful to come back after a day of exploring and be able to cool off in the splash pool and relax out on the screened in porch (my favorite part of the house!). Our kids found the pull out couch to be perfectly comfortable and we all enjoyed the easy access to washer and dryer during our trip.

Great spot for private vacation rental!

We LOVED this house! It’s in a beautiful, more private area and was just a quick drive down to the beach. Lydgate Park nearby was amazing!! The pool is a little smaller than we realized but it was great for the kids to splash around in. If we ever go back to Hawaii this is definitely where we will stay again. The hosts were fantastic and very responsive. Thank you for helping make our trip awesome!

Cozy place close to Kapaa town

The house was a cozy homebase on the east side, making it easy to go either north or south. While the house had everything we needed, it didn’t feel 100% clean ( food spots on the cabinets, dust bunnies on the lamps), so I did a one over When we arrived. And I wish the pool got more sunlight to be warm enough for our infant to swim in.

This property isn’t near the beach but a fun change in a beautiful mountain setting. The house is small but perfect for a couple or small family. The house is well appointed with quality items and furniture. Our favorite was the screened in porch in the back. A great place to relax, eat, read a book or nap.

Relaxing stay with our Ohana

The place was perfect for a little getaway with our family. The kids loved the pool and quiet surroundings. Just make sure to bring some mosquito spray if they love your blood. ❤️ The owners were great and responsive when we needed them. Would definitely book again. Mahalo!

Below par

When I saw this listing I was very excited and it looked awesome for my husband and my toddler of 3 years old. Especially with the pool I thought my son would have a lot of fun and he did. However, the pool is not heated and even though it's Hawaii and it's hot outside it may take awhile for some to get used to it cooling pool. ( We knew that before arriving) Also, the pictures listed are when the place was recently done with renovation because when we arrived it looked run down and dirty. This was a red flag for us especially with COVID. We expected this home to be clean. When I was looking around we found no toiletries. No hand soap for the kitchen so we contacted the person in charge and she mentioned that they were probably in a rush and didn't leave it for us. Dishes and utensils for kiddos were also dirty with crumbs and residue. There's also no dishwasher which we knew before going. However, the drying rack was so dirty it was driving me insane to put clean dishes on a dirty drying rack. Then their bathroom sink had a previous leak and their P trap stunk so bad because it was old and it was probably semi clogged from many travelers. My husband wanted to replace that for them so bad since he's very handy. We could smell it from our bedroom or whenever we were in the hall way. We also found complimentary resort toothbrush and toothpaste that was left from previous owner as well in the bathroom. In our bedroom we also found a booster seat for dining and I was pleased to see that since we have a toddler but when we took it out it was so filthy I ended up cleaning it. (Please bring a pack of disinfectant wipes since there are none provided at this place) At that point, I ended up cleaning all the surfaces with disinfectant wipes that I had brought. Also, their lanai is awesome since its screened in but all the furniture had stains on it and that was disturbing to the point I couldn't let my family sit on the couch on the lanai. I ended up using the sheet that they had provided from our bedroom to put it over the bed in the lanai area. There's also no AC and this was something I asked before booking. They mentioned that's pretty windy so we should be fine. After staying there, they definitely need AC there because it was very very hot and barely any wind in the afternoon. We were excited to see how they had beach gear and it was so rusty to where it was embarrassing to bring to the beach. I have so much more to say but ran out of room.

Jungle Retreat (no camping required)

Fantastic clean, comfortable property with a magical tropical backyard (including banana and cacao trees) which surrounds the lanai. I liked being in a regular neighborhood and it's great to have two routes to the coast, both of which avoid the Kapaʻa traffic.

Super Clean And Charming

We enjoyed our stay at the Sleeping Giant cottage. The back porch was peaceful and comfortable with bird songs quite often. The keyless lock made entry easy and communication was perfect. Just a walk to the Sleeping Giant hiking trail from the house and easy drives to beaches, farmer’s markets and sights. The cottage was spotless and tidy. We’d stay again and recommend to friends.

Great time at the Sleeping Giant Cottage

We loved our stay at the cottage. Owners were very responsive to the one minor problem we had. Remote enough to give the feel of privacy yet minutes from Kapaa town.
