About this property
Dazzling Oceanfront Views at Your Own Tropical Oasis, steps from the Beach
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 Sunrise Cottage welcomes you with beautiful French doors and large picture windows in the living/dining room providing panoramic ocean views from almost every room. 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.
Moonrise Guest Cottage is the second cottage on the property which has 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, pebble tile 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 location was great. We could walk to Baby Beach. Since we were there with young children that was helpful. I t was also easy to drive to either side of the island from the location.
The cottage was absolutely adorable with wonderful details including decor and furnishings. It was also so well stocked with essentials. The view from the front porch was perfect.
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!!
We had an absolute blast staying in this beautiful, waterfront cottage - the location is perfect! Right along an amazing bike trail that hugs the coast, walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants. The cool, ocean breeze was perfect for sleeping at night. Snorkeling right out front brings green sea turtles and so many tropical fish! The place even comes with two sea kayaks for exploring the area. I highly recommend staying here - this was such an incredible place!!!
We had a wonderful time in Kauai and the best part was staying at this beautiful vintage Hawaiian cottage waking up to the sunrise was so magical, peaceful and beautiful. We will miss the serenity.
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.
Sunrise cottage has it all! Aside from the beautiful views and the great accommodation, its location is awesome for visiting west, south and north shores. We used the walking path daily and it was so convenient to visit eateries and sights in Kapaa. But the best part is the people and how responsive the host and property manager are when we have an issue. Thank-you for making our stay an unforgettable one. Mahola :)
We had a great time. The property, for the most part is as advertised. The people in charge of maintaining the property did an excellent job fixing a couple of small issues.The location and view are fabulous. It is strategically located to lost of places on the island.To be perfect, the lock issue at the front door should be fixed.Thanks
The Oceanfront Hawaiian-Style Cottage was a perfect fit for our family--it was an excellent setting, very comfortable and well provisioned with dishes, beach equipment, towels, bedding, etc. --everything we needed to enjoy a Hawaiian Paradise. The welcoming book was excellent--easy to read and very helpful with its breadth of topics and instructions. The view of the sunrise was extremely beautiful and very energizing every morning. The front porch and the openness of the home with the breeze flowing through from the open front door to the open back door was very refreshing. The location was very convenient for our travel to local beaches, our Blue Hawaiian Helicopter ride, our tubing adventure, to local farmers markets, shops and restaurants (food trucks), and to both the North Shore and South Shore attractions. Thank you for making your home available for us.
We so enjoyed the house and property! The location is close to town, adjacent to a bike and walking path, and watching the tides roll in and out was wonderful.Our family fished in the ocean right in front of the house, and walked along the waters edge.We had everything we needed in the house and the host was in excellent communication.We would stay here again!
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!

Perfect family getaway
Our stay could not have been more perfect! The home had everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. (Myself, Husband, 2 young adult dtrs and significant others) The location in Kapaa is ideal. So many fun memories made here, don't hesitate to book this charming home!
Our stay at Sunrise cottage was spectacular. Early morning sunrise on the porch was the most relaxing of our vacation. Centrally located in Kapa’a we had easy access to the North Shore and west to the Na Pali coastline. The cottage and properly was clean and all the amenities were provided. We loved our stay and would recommend the cottage to our friends and family. Thanks Susan and Charlie for a wonderful stay!
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!!
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.
Very nice Hawaiian house in a good, central location
A very good vacation house in Kauai. All 5 family members thought the house was perfect for our needs, was centrally located in Kapa'a, was very close to the ocean and had a nice walking path. Our property manager was responsive to our needs and even offered to dry our clothes when the dryer had issues (issues solved). We would go back.

Great vacation house rental in Kapaa!
We rented this vacation house for 8 nights and it was amazing. There were 6 of us so it was the perfect size. The location was great...right on the ocean, walking distance to the cute downtown area of Kapaa for shopping and restaurants. Also close to the grocery store. Since it was our first trip to Kauai we wanted to stay in Kapaa for our home base to get around the island easily and it worked out great. The house was very clean and included many amenities. We loved having the boogie boards available to use at the beach! We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this place!
