The Coconut Cottage felt like "home away from home". We were more than pleasantly surprised. From the beautiful flower arrangement awaiting us upon arrival, all the little things that were thought of that were available to us in the cottage (beach chairs, towels, mats, etc.), along with the fact of having a full functioning kitchen (with clothes washer and dryer) made our stay very comfortable. The views of both the ocean and the mountains out every window were great. The lanei overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds made having breakfast and dinner on the lanei a real treat. The staff that took care of our arrangements were nothing but the most professional, very easy to work with. The best part of our trip was the beauty and quaintness of the island itself. The best restaurant for us was cooking at home at the Coconut Cottage. I travel for a living which requires dining out frequently. To be able to spend the majority of our day having fun around the island and then come home to relax and enjoy dinner at home was a real treat. After a long day of playing, we didn't have to spend 3-4 hours getting cleaned up, deciding where to eat, driving to a restaurant, waiting for a table and then actually having dinner. I can't wait to tell my friends about the beauty of Kauai. The part of our trip that I would definitely recommend to others would be to see the Na Pali coast, either by air or boat (we did both). Spectacular! The best insider tip we received was Shave Ice, I'm addicted to the root beer with vanilla ice cream on the bottom! The other insider tip was the great snorkeling in front of the Beach House Restaurant. We can't wait to come back to visit Kauai and hopefully the Coconut Cottage! rn
