"Beautiful grounds and charming vintage cottages. Quiet peaceful setting. Location is not convenient to most of our favorite activities although the west side of the island is like stepping back in time to how we can imagine the island was many years ago. Bed was not comfortable. Lighting inside was poor but the overhangs on the windows are obviously intended to keep out the hot sun. Housekeeping and landscapers do a great job. On site restaurant food was disappointing. Thank you for a relaxing stay."

"Great place to stay on the “quiet side” of Kaua’i. Beautiful home right across the street from walkable quiet beach with the added plus of a great hot tub. Excellent proximity to Waimea Canyon and Koke’e state park for great hiking. Longer drive to north coast and Lihue/Poipu areas but for us the trade off was well worth it. Would definitely recommend."

"Beautiful old house, with beautiful yard! Only one a/c unit in main bedroom…kitchen fully equipped. Lots of beach gear readily available!"

"Really enfoyed the quiet relaxing atmosphere of the town and of the property. Beautiful property. Nice outdoor shower, used it for every shower. Found great bakeries and eats a couple miles away. Great place to get away from the high tourist areas."

"This place was perfect for us. We really liked being able to see and hear the ocean from anywhere. Inside the house, you could see the ocean from every room, whether it was from windows or sliding glass doors. The main house was homey but spacious with comfortable seating for all 7 of us in the living room and at the dining room table. The patio also had a large patio table you could eat at outside. It also had a small patio table and a large sectional that could probably seat a dozen people. This was wonderful because it looked over a rocky ocean beach where you could just sit and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. Several times, we were able to see turtles and dolphins in the distance swimming in the ocean. On-site were so many bonuses, including binoculars, beach towels, nice bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in all showers. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and cooking supplies enough that you could cook meals or heat up leftovers and a washer and dryer to do laundry. The side house was very cute studio with its own bathroom and kitchenette.We also like the location. We were close to beaches where we could swim, snorkel, and boogie board.Communication with Diane was prompt, friendly, and helpful."

"Very stylish and clean place and location was walkable to everything in town. Only real complaint was that neither mattress was particularly comfortable, and there must have been 100 roosters nearby that woke us up every night starting at sometimes 2-3 AM. We knew we weren’t going to sleep past 5 am or so for the remainder of the trip by the first night. Not anyone’s fault but felt it was fair to share! Great place. "

"This property exceeded our expectations in every way! It was the perfect spring break retreat for our family of 6 with plenty of space. Well-equipped, cozy and charming in every way! Seamless check-in and responsive host when needed. Loved reading about the history of the home, which was featured in a book on the coffee table. It was GREAT to have a pool in the back yard while the baby napped. The front yard was like a tropical paradise! I would strongly suggest checking out the Salt Pond Beach close by, great for families with small children. The property provides everything you'd need for a day at the beach! There are PLENTY of towels for beach and pool. Quality towels!! Our granddaughter called this her Hawaii White House! Looking forward to another stay!"

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time at the Pakala Plantation house. Our party of seven adults had plenty of space, and we cooked many delicious meals in the massive kitchen. We spent our early mornings and evenings hanging out on the comfy front porch furniture."

"We had a wonderful stay at Kuhio Shores 301. The view and sound of the ocean from the balcony draws you in. The hosts have thought of everything as far as supplies, including beach chairs, a cooler, and an umbrella. Our hosts were so gracious by letting us stay late on our final day, as we weren’t flying out until late that night. We’re grateful for them and for this home-away-from-home!"
