About this property

Private Handcrafted Cottage, Walk to Secluded Beach, Hot Tub, Tandem Kayak, WiFi

"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 world class, white sand Kaihili-Quarry Beach, a scenic 15 minute walk, or quick 5 minute drive from your accommodation.

The travel accommodation industry has been dramatically changed. The COVID-19 pandemic, while it has abetted, 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 utilizes 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!

We also provide boogie boards to our guests, Some snorkel gear may be available, but we recommend arranging for snorkel gear rental to insure a proper fit.

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.

There are a myriad of world class beaches close nearby. Kahili Quarry Beach is within walking distance, or you may zip down with your rental car. Kalihiwai Beach and the trailhead to Secret Beach are just 6-7 minutes away. Also nearby are Anini Beach, Hideaways, Waiakalua (wanna be all alone on a tropical beach?) and the beaches of Hanalei Bay.

The scenic Kilauea Lighthouse is minutes away...

As a longtime farm family we welcome you to come enjoy our place. You may walk around the property as long as you follow 3 rules: 1) Do NOT stand below coconut trees 2) Do not approach any buildings other than your cottage, and 3) do not engage our workers in conversation. They love to chat, but we need them to work :)

As a long-time, nearly 40 year resident farmer, I offer private farm tours to parties of up to 4 in size, for $100 per hour. I can provide a brief overview in one hour, but a more in-depth tour can last for 1.5 to 2 hours.

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 bedroom.

The cottage is fully screened.

When looking at a map of Kauai, use the Kilauea Lighthouse as a locator- it is the northernmost point on the island, and your cottage is about 1.5 miles to the southeast. The location is convenient- close to restaurants, bakeries, 2 farmer's markets each week, and fun shopping. It is an easy drive further west to Princeville (10 minutes) or Hanalei (15 minutes) yet not far the other direction to the East and South sides and to Waimea Canyon on the West side.

Because many guests have found difficulty arranging a reasonably priced rental car (the BEST way to explore Kauai) at reasonable rates, we often offer a Ford Escape SUV to our guests. If this possibility sounds of interest please inquire, after you make your booking.

Twin Hearts is a legal, permitted "homestay", Class IV Zoning Permit Z-IV-2015-35, Use Permit U-2015-34, Special Permit SP-2015-12. These permits are extremely limited. Our TMK is (4) 5-1-005-015-0003.

So let's see... garden views, mountain views, private hot tub, acreage privacy, close beach proximity, laundry facility, wireless high-speed internet access, a tandem kayak, the option to rent a vehicle, and a stunning, affordable handcrafted cottage. Plus, it is a registered. legal, vacation rental. It doesn't get much better than this, especially at our low rental rates.. Come to Kauai and enjoy it in class at our private cottage!

Mahalo nui loa, e komo mai (Many thanks and welcome...)

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Fehring

Host profile image
We are Bruce and Cyndee Fehring, owners of the 7.6 acre property on which the Twin Hearts cottage is located. We moved to Kauai from the Northeast nearly 40 years ago, and have raised our family and created a wonderful life here. We designed and built the Pineapple Farmstay in 2005. We welcome guests to come and enjoy this slice of Paradise.

We greatly enjoy hosting guests, We are happy to engage with guests or just let them be to enjoy themselves. We are sensitive to guest privacy and satisfaction.

As a retired farmer (our daughter and son-in-law now operate the farm), Bruce has discovered a hidden talent, water color painting, which he has done to much acclaim. He now spends the rest of his time, running the dogs on the beach, playing in the water, and participating in both elder league and on-the-farm softball.

Bruce also offers private, personalized farm tours for $100/hour, for up to 4 guests. If that has interest, please inquire after booking your stay.

Cyndee hosts painting classes with a renowned watercolorist, Patrice Pendavis, and runs a pottery studio. You are welcome to join in if you so choose and if time and space allow.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of it's perfect location, central to the North Shore, but not so far north as to not be within easy striking distance of the entire island. Plus the soil is very fertile, perfect for growing a farm. Kilauea town, with its many amenities and shopping, along with the Kilauea Lighthouse, is just 10 minutes away by car

Up and out of the tsunami zone, we enjoy the weather here. Lovely ocean beaches, enough rain to keep everything green and facilitate the occasional stunning rainbow, but not so much rain as to be problematic. PLUS, we can walk or take a quick drive to beautiful, remote, uncrowded Kahili-Quarry Beach! There are a multitude of other world-class beaches within a 15 minute drive.

Come enjoy this classic vacation rental accommodation on acreage.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, privacy, privacy...not to mention the interesting and unique architecture, indoor and outdoor showers and soothing hot tub. We also male a tandem kayak available to guests, which you may use at your own risk. Please be safe!

Twin Heart allows for easy social distancing on a large property, unlike a stay at a hotel or resort or condo.

Also, we reside nearby and are here in case some special need arises. We are happy to help, and pride ourselves on making sure guests are happy and comfortable.
