"Twin Hearts", a Kauai North Shore vacation rental homestay cottage, is a wonderful private one bedroom, one bath handcrafted rental accommodation located at the ocean end of our 7.6 acre Kauai North Shore estate and farm parcel. The handcrafted cottage features tons of privacy and a sweet hot tub, as well as close beach proximity, a scenic walk away. Kaihili-Quarry Beach is secluded and world-class.
Because many guests have found difficulty arranging a rental car (the BEST way to explore Kauai) at reasonable rates, we have 2 fun cars (one sedan, one SUV) which we make available to our guests. If this possibility sounds of interest please inquire, after you make your booking.
The travel accommodation industry has been dramatically changed. The COVID-19 pandemic, while abetting, 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 utilized 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!
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.
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 ...

I can sum up this place and our stay with one word…..
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

This is our third time here! We love it and we call it our home away from home. It’s close to the best beaches in Kauai and we feel so comfortable and relaxed here.

Absolutely amazing. The owners are great. The property is beautiful. Its an oasis within itself. A cute little beach within minutes where you can swim in the ocean or in a cool pristine river. Well worth the stay.

We had a great relaxing time in this private cabin hideaway! 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.

Lovely private “cabin” with hot tub that was so appreciated after a couple of hiking days. The pick up and drop off at the airport ensured a smooth check in and departure.

The bungalow has everything you could ever need. 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!

We really enjoyed our stay at Bruce’s farm! Photos don’t do it justice. We loved being situated in Kilauea for all of our activities. Bruce was a helpful and communicative host. Would definitely return!

Bruce has done an amazing job of creating an oasis on the farm. Twin Hearts is tucked away and feels surprisingly private. The setting, the location, the whole vibe makes for a wonderful stay!

Amazing little place that gives the feeling of being secluded in tropical garden yet is close to many activities. Short walk to local beach for those days you want to take it easy and stay close to home. Easy access to Princeville and beaches on the north shore. Host is very welcoming and has a wealth of knowledge about the island.
