The handcrafted cottage features tons of privacy and a sweet hot tub, as well as close world class, white sand Kaihili-Quarry Beach, a scenic 15 minute walk, or quick 5 minute drive from your accommodation. The travel accommodation industry has been dramatically changed. The COVID-19 pandemic, while it has abetted, has placed a greater importance on safety. At Twin Hearts, we understand this change. Vacation rentals are now the safest and most secure way to enjoy a Kauai vacation. We understand the importance or providing an alternative to crowded hotels or the risks of dining in jam packed restaurants. What better way to travel safely than renting your very own cottage on acreage! Our guests, many of them repeat visitors, adore the cottage and leave us stellar reviews. Our organic ethic precludes us from spraying any toxic pesticides, and while we deal topically and organically with any of the many pests that enjoy living in the sub-tropics, you must be prepared to possible encounter the occasional ants, or geckos, or even a cockroach or two. If that is bothersome, you may be better off renting at a different property that utilizes toxic pesticides. This private cottage, which is fully screened, is an exquisite, architecturally interesting, sustainable redwood home with lots of special features and privacy, about 250 feet (and lots of hedges and trees) from our home. The cottage is accessed via a completely private 250 foot long rolled gravel driveway from the paved cul-de-sac road. The cottage is comfortably and tastefully furnished, island style, with a hand-carved king sized poster bed with soft cotton sheets in the bedroom, a lovely living room with comfortable new queen sofa bed, a tiled bathroom, and a full-on entertainment center with cable TV, DVD, and CD stereo. Furniture and furnishings are oriental and island-style, with some antiques and original art. For those who enjoy using the internet, we offer high speed Spectrum WI-FI, by Kauai standards. We average 200mbs speed. Keep in mind that internet speed here is not necessarily the equivalent here of what you may experience, or become used to, in mainland urban areas. There is plenty of bandwidth for most visitors, and we encourage you to slow yourself down and relax into Kauai time. :) As a special perk, the cottage now comes with a Tandem Kayak, complete with paddles, backrests, life preservers and car roof rack, perfect for jungle river adventures on Kauai's numerous waterways. That's WAY fun and easy, even if you have never kayaked before! We also provide boogie boards to our guests, Some snorkel gear may be available, but we recommend arranging for snorkel gear rental to insure a proper fit. There are laundry facilities and a full indoor bathroom, as well as a hot and cold outdoor shower for washing the sand off when returning from Kahili-Quarry beach, which is just down the road, or any other one of the 10 world class beaches nearby. There are a myriad of world class beaches close nearby. Kahili Quarry Beach is within walking distance, or you may zip down with your rental car. Kalihiwai Beach and the trailhead to Secret Beach are just 6-7 minutes away. Also nearby are Anini Beach, Hideaways, Waiakalua (wanna be all alone on a tropical beach?) and the beaches of Hanalei Bay. The scenic Kilauea Lighthouse is minutes away... As a longtime farm family we welcome you to come enjoy our place. You may walk around the property as long as you follow 3 rules: 1) Do NOT stand below coconut trees 2) Do not approach any buildings other than your cottage, and 3) do not engage our workers in conversation. They love to chat, but we need them to work :) As a long-time, nearly 40 year resident farmer, I offer private farm tours to parties of up to 4 in size, for $100 per hour. I can provide a brief overview in one hour, but a more in-depth tour can last for 1.5 to 2 hours. Consistent trade breezes keep you cool and refreshed although, to be on the safe side, we have installed a decorative tropical ceiling fan in the bedroom. The cottage is fully screened. When looking at a map of Kauai, use the Kilauea Lighthouse as a locator- it is the northernmost point on the island, and your cottage is about 1.5 miles to the southeast. The location is convenient- close to restaurants, bakeries, 2 farmer's markets each week, and fun shopping. It is an easy drive further west to Princeville (10 minutes) or Hanalei (15 minutes) yet not far the other direction to the East and South sides and to Waimea Canyon on the West side. Because many guests have found difficulty arranging a reasonably priced rental car (the BEST way to explore Kauai) at reasonable rates, we often offer a Ford Escape SUV to our guests. If this possibility sounds of interest please inquire, after you make your booking. Twin Hearts is a legal, permitted "homestay", Class IV Zoning Permit Z-IV-2015-35, Use Permit U-2015-34, Special Permit SP-2015-12\. These permits are extremely limited. Our TMK is (4) 5-1-005-015-0003. So let's see... garden views, mountain views, private hot tub, acreage privacy, close beach proximity, laundry facility, wireless high-speed internet access, a tandem kayak, the option to rent a vehicle, and a stunning, affordable handcrafted cottage. Plus, it is a registered. legal, vacation rental. It doesn't get much better than this, especially at our low rental rates.. Come to Kauai and enjoy it in class at our private cottage!

Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Not quite as private as the listing may suggest - you are right next to a farm full of workers on weekdays. The cottage is mostly sheltered away from any activity, though you can still hear it, and can be seen when driving in and out, and through a break in the trees, if at the right angle. When we arrived the workers were playing a game of softball (Friday evening) - nothing wrong with that just a bit unexpected. Also, the house has an issue with ants (lots of them) so be prepared to put all of your food in the fridge and get a few bug bites. We did, unfortunately find one cockroach, but I assume that to be an anomaly. Hot tub and outdoor shower are clean and AMAZING! Loved that and the stay overall was good. Great location for spending time in Kilauea or all over the island!Host (Bruce) is very kind and helpful! I needed to iron a shirt, but the iron was not clean. However, Bruce quickly handled the situation by bringing over a replacement, so that I could iron my shirt in time Thank you very much! ##### Matt R.

Bathroom was clean and plumbing throughout the home functioned very well. The hot tub provided plenty of heat and everything worked. Many books in the home library, as well as playing cards, cribbage board and jigsaw puzzles. Practice your evening search for light switches in the daytime The home is located within walking distance to Kahili Beach, where the river meets the ocean- absolutely beautiful! Anini Beach is a close drive and worth it. Tunnels and Ha'ena present a parking challenge - go early. Ke'e parking has changed. Must reserve a parking space. We took the shuttle bus into Ke'e from Hanalei instead. Not cheap , but worth it. The beach parking area and the surrounding grounds were upgraded in 2019\. They did a beautiful job. Check it out online so you know the rules. Easy access to Kapa'a and beaches in that area. ##### Robert R. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S.

So much better than a hotel room in one of those “resorts”. If you like relaxing in your own private place, then this is for you. Only negative was the weather, (a Kona low, bringing flooding rains) which kept us off the beaches for a few days. ##### David S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dennis R.

The location was good with easy drives to all the nice beaches in the area. We enjoyed the portable hot tub after hiking all day. No AC as mentioned but that was never an issue, in fact we felt a little cool waking up some mornings. The house felt like you were staying in the rain forest which was nice. The housed felt a little smaller than it looks in the pictures but fine for 2 people. The dresser was filled with bedding-sheets blankets etc in every drawer and closet pretty taken up with things so not much room to put our clothes. Overall a nice and interesting place to stay while visiting the North Shore. ##### Dennis R. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent G.

The location is incredible with a secluded beach thats a short ways away. The cottage was fully stocked with everything that we needed especially the kitchen (we love cooking). The water heater broke down one morning and bruce had it fixed super quick (thanks bruce!) The back yard is well maintained and very private. We had such a good time. We hope to return! ##### Vincent G. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hayley B.

We loved being situated in Kilauea for all of our activities. Bruce was a helpful and communicative host. Would definitely return! ##### Hayley B.

Its secluded and quiet (except for the ever present Kauai roosters) and private. You can walk to the most spectacular secluded beach, where you can surf big waves and there's a place for kids to play in the gentle water. Bruce was a lovely host and his property and farm are glorious. I highly recommend! ##### Terri F. Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin B.

Magic It was everything we hoped to experience for our 43rd wedding anniversary. Solitary and private - but not isolated Beautiful interior that is built as an invitation to relax, decor and furniture wonderful. The breeze coming into our bedroom each night was like a tropical lullaby and the occasional rainfall added to the music. The outside yard and landscaping- well it felt like we were alone in a gentle jungle Dozens of flower varieties. Birdsong. Shaded and cool all day. Cute little hot tub which we took advantage of a few nights under the scudding clouds and moon and palm trees was wonderful Location was perfect. Minutes away from Hanalei and Princeville, botanical gardens, and eateries. We walked to Quarry Beach several times to watch the sun go down in quiet reverence Bruce very was cordial and helpful, a low key landlord ready to help but astute enough to give us all the space we needed If you want an experience and not a condo, an adventure not a crowded resort ….this is the place. Authentic and real and one of a kind Kevin and Caleen Beatty ##### Kevin B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany C.
