We're thrilled to share our house in Kauai with you!
There's a swimming pool, botanical garden-like setting, and location that's extremely convenient for exploring the island.
Our plunge pool is perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach or just lounging in all day while staring at the 100 year old monkeypod tree overhead.
The house is in a peaceful tropical location, but just 10 minutes drive to the beach, rainforest, restaurants and town of Kapa'a.
In the morning shadow of the legendary Sleeping Giant Mountain, amidst rainbows and waterfalls in the pastoral Wailua Valley, this private country home offers the feel of old Hawaii with a mix of modern. It's central location is perfect for exploring the spectacular garden isle of Kauai.
Within a 10 minute drive you can hit the beach, catch a wave, kayak a tropical river, hike the rainforest, climb a mountain, explore historic sites, water ski, hit a golf ball, bird watch, play tennis, horseback ride, mountain bike... whew! Or just relax and sleep late and awake to a symphony of birds in a lush tropical setting at the Sleeping Giant Cottage.
This one bedroom cottage is spacious and private with three large lanais (porches), and is surrounded by a beautiful lush yard with a wonderful variety of tropical fruits and flowers. It is not connected to any other home and is not part of a compound - for those who seek ultimate privacy and comfort, this is the perfect choice. In fact, we specialize in longer stays.
The Sleeping Giant has been a legal vacation rental with satisfied guests for over 20 years! Our permit number is TNVC #1244....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
