Kapa'a Cottage
Great cottage in a great location. Very clean although it does show its age in the kitchen and bathroom. Very well equipped and perfect location to beach and shops but also tucked away in a peaceful spot.

Great little bungalow!
My friend and I stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. The house has great amenities (laundry, iron, coffee maker, blender, toaster, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs) and is tucked away off the main road. Check-in instructions were comprehensive and easy to follow. There are lots of great food options within walking distance, including malasadas and loco moco! I highly recommend this place - it’s in a great location for exploring all parts of the island. I’d definitely come back here :)

Cute bungalow close to beach, shopping and FOOD!
Authentically decorated with Hawaiian touches throughout. Had air conditioning which was needed. Quick 5 minute walk to either the shopping center or the beach. Overall was pretty good considering not on the beach & no pool

Not worth $500+
Very outdated. Not comfortable. Dark. Light bulbs burned out and some outlets not working properly. Uncomfortable furniture. Kitchen and bathroom really need to be remodeled. Very different from the way it is pictured online.

Happy little house
We loved the house—cozy, beautifully decorated, and walking distance to store and restaurants. The only thing missing is a view—but there are guys ones not so far away.

Home away from home
Mele Mele is a very comfortable and private house in an excellent location, with easy access to the beach, restaurants and a relaxed but hopping bar. We spent a whole day lounging at the beach, courtesy of the house’s chairs and sand umbrella - no need to bring, buy or rent anything.

A Beautiful Oasis in Kauai
This place was wonderful and great for groups and family! Walking distance to the beach and the host offers beach chairs and other water toys. Kitchen is well stocked to cook meals at home. AC and Fans are available. Great communication with the host. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location! Very laid back!
We couldn’t have picked a better location - we were literally out the back gate and a block to the beach. Hotel across the street had amazing outdoor beachside dining, live entertainment, great mai tais, cornhole, and other yard games. Watched the full moon come up from there, it was fantastic. House was cozy and beach chic….great size for our family of four. outdoor pavilion was fun for evening cocktails. Very quick drive to airport and thirty minute access to west side beaches. My son wanted to test his one surf lesson using the board at the cabin, so we took that and the great condition chairs to a beach on the west side that had a life guard and snorkeling. Only one full set of gear, but we took turns. House is baby friendly - saw high chair seat and pacnplay and every outlet had a plastic safety device in it. Coffee pot does not turn off on its own - don’t forget. Checkin was easy and host was accommodating. Nice to have a personal contact. Only negative was the sound of the standup fans, you couldn’t have a conversation if they were on, but it did drown out the roosters.

Perfect for a family with teens
We really enjoyed our stay at Melemele cottage. It offered a perfect blend of a local feel along with access to more touristy sights. Our teens enjoyed the independence of walking across to the beach and restaurants and having their own room (which we don't often get in a hotel). The house itself was super cute and we LOVED waking up to birds and breeze each morning with the windows open. A perfect Hawaiian getaway!

Lovely little cottage
We loved Meli Meli cottage. Immaculate, beautiful interior design and super helpful hosts. Lots of little extra amenities like snorkel gear and beach chairs, a guidebook, games, books, nearby recommendations, and laundry. Perfect little window seat. It's a great location if you want to explore the whole island -- 20 minutes from the North, 25-30 minutes to the South. I would stay here again!
