About this property

Sweet Rustic Cottage ~ Ocean View ~ Short walk to beach

A Classic Kauai Cottage on Acres of Beautiful Grounds. Away from developments and the public. More Island Artsy Than Corporate. Two ceiling fan's in living room and one ceiling fan in bedroom. One floor fan. Nice, natural breeze normally.

Watch the sunrise off the ocean horizon from bed. Enjoy quiet time under the shade of the Pink Tacoma trees in the hammock which embraces both ocean & mountain views.

IDEAL FOR NATURE LOVERS ONLY... because, although the cottage does get pest control quarterly, you may still see insects. It's part of being in a tropical climate.

Its a short 15 to 20 minute walk down a shady little road to beautiful Anahola Beach. In case of a tsunami warning you will NOT need to evacuate as we are not in the evacuation zone.

Our retreat is located in the East for a great base to explore both sides of the island. Also within 25 minute walking distance is a little general store, post office, ono char burger stand.

This is a fantastic hideaway in the hills, tranquil with constant cool sea breezes -- far from the crowds and tourists, a true getaway to chill and close to lots of great beaches and snorkel spots on the east shore. We spent a perfect week and would have loved to stayed longer.

Many VRBO reviews mention that they enjoyed the property so much that they plan to return again in the future. We loved everything about our stay in Diana’s cottage so much that we actually just finished our second visit in just under a year. Based on the many return visitors who signed the guest book, we are not the only ones who feel this way!Other reviews outline the property details, so I will limit this one to say that she has created a very special place that feels like home in an exceptional setting. And yes, we are already planning our next stay!!

Great secluded retreat

This property was perfect for our little island getaway. It was secluded but within a good distance from all the island events. Definitely rustic. Make sure you are okay with bugs, lizards and chickens. Bug spray is going to be your best friend.

Perfect Kauai oasis

What a lovely place - we felt so at home and had everything we needed. Loved that beach accessories like chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, etc were there to use. The house felt so secluded and we enjoyed that it was a bit off the beaten path. Would highly recommend!

Another Wonderful Stay!

Our daydreams are filled with memories of our stay at the cottage! What a beautiful and peaceful place to be. During our stay, we walked from the cottage down to Anahola Beach, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything about the cottage and surrounding garden it’s so very pretty. Also, great original art featured throughout.Our daydreams will continue!

Privacy with beautiful scenery

Nice quiet place away from the crowds. Great location to explore the island by car. The cottage had all the items needed for a day at the beach. Very clean. Backyard was great. Enjoyed the chickens and roosters and sunrises every morning.

Charming, peaceful cottage

We loved our stay on Mahinani's Farm! The setting was beautiful, with the mountains as a backdrop, and the ocean down the hill out front. The cottage was a perfect getaway for my husband and me. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we loved having beach chairs and umbrellas and a cooler provided for our use! The location was great, as we were easily able to visit sites on the coconut coast as well as the north shore. We accessed many beaches easily. I loved the calm serenity of the location. Watching the sunrises from the front patio was a highlight! I would definitely come back! Thank you!

Week Trip in Kauai

This cottage was an amazing place to stay! It was very private with its own little yard, and we loved hearing the chickens in the morning and watching the sun rise over the ocean. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed, and Diana was a great host!

Could not have been happier with this great little, very private cottage with a big back lawn looking out at the ocean. Not to mention the gorgeous mountain backdrop. What a wonderful pleasure to come home to every day and have a peaceful place to relax! Would recommend to anyone!

Second Visit to Rustic Cottage!

We had been dreaming about the day we got to return to Kauai, and specifically based our trip dates around availability of this sweet little cottage. Having stayed in it 7 years prior, we knew it was the only place we'd want to stay on the island. Peaceful and tucked away from the busier towns, this little cottage is just a perfect home base for your adventures! Diana (host) is so kind and the property is just lovely. We can't wait to return!

Feels like home away from home!

This cozy cottage had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. The only things we missed were our pets, however, there were plenty of chickens and a kitty that visited every day that made it easier :) The location was perfect, centrally located (yet secluded) for all the activities we had planned all over the island. Diana was the perfect host and has thought of everything! Hope to return!

Breath taking

We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Don’t care for the hub bub, busyness. We could not have asked for a more perfect stay. Just wished it was longer. Had all the amenities one could ask for, and then some. If the Lord continues to bless us, we will be back.

Peace and quiet and beauty

A little slice of heaven away from the resort scene. Beautiful sunrises, deep tranquillity, views of ocean and mountains. Great location for exploring the rest of the island. Lovely walks on the coastal bike/walking path (just 10 minutes away by car). Spending hours in the hammock in the yard, reading, napping, listening to the birds and the sound of the ocean. I never want to go back home.
