About this property
Sleeping Giant Cottage with Plunge Pool TNVC #1244
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.
