  John L from Kildeer, IL recommends this vacation rental

  Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this property. For this part of the island, you can't beat the location or outdoor space offered with this type of view. That being said, know going in that that's what you're paying for - and honestly, it's still well worth it.
  
  For the price point, I was underwhelmed by the interior (primarily the kitchen and bathrooms) as those could use some updating. Many of the fixes have been made suggested in prior reviews (everything was functional). The furniture was nice and visually pleasing, though we didn't spend a lot of time inside the unit. There was also a good supply of beach items (chairs, sand toys, boogie boards) and beach towels offered. The kitchen was very well stocked and we were able to easily cook dinner in. One recommendation for the property would be additional plastic drinkware - the intro note upon check-in made reference to using plastic near the hot tub but there were only 2 large plastic cups - again, at this price point (especially when hoping people use them), I'd expect a broader selection.
  
  Again, I'd recommend this property but there are a few minor enhancements that could raise guests' overall experience.

    Hi John, Thank you for your great suggestions - more plastic cups would definitely help and it's on our list! We are always looking forward to updating and improving our guests' experience and your feedback is highly valued. We're glad that you recommend this property and hope that our paths cross again the next time you visit Kauai. Aloha & Mahalo!

  a guest from Trenton, IL recommends this vacation rental

  Some may think the price is high but what is provided allows for buying less for what would be left behind. The kitchen has spices, oils, kitchen utensils to cook a full meal. Fantastic setting for sunsets. Very close to easy snorkeling. Driving to many venues is easy. All you have to do is walk and explore. Hot tubbing watching whales!

  • Manager Responded on 6/28/2019

    Hi Patricia, I can't think of a better vacation activity - hot tubbing while whale-watching! What a treat! Thank you for describing and explaining the benefits of this cottage - the kitchen is truly stocked with anything you may need in hopes to save you time and money while on your vacation. Sounds like the sunsets, snorkeling and location were enjoyed by you too :) Mahalo for sharing your experience and for choosing Koa Cottage as your vacation rental - we would be honored to host you again!

  Loved the location but this property needs some TLC. The property management was good to come in and fix the few deficiencies we found but kitchen and bathrooms could use some up dating

  • Manager Responded on 7/3/2019

    Aloha Heather, Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We're thrilled that you contacted us and allowed us to correct the deficiencies you found. It's wonderful to hear that you loved the location, watching the whales and turtles and hope you'll consider booking with again during future stays on Kauai. Mahalo for sharing - Aloha!!

  Chris S from Madison, WI recommends this vacation rental

  We spent 4 nights over Christmas at Koa Cottage and loved it. This property had earlier gotten some negative reviews so we were a little apprehensive but that quickly disappeared upon our arrival. The location is great, directly across from the water where we saw sea turtles swimming and a beautiful sunset every day. We walked and drove (with all the gear) to nearby beaches for great snorkeling. There were some things (hammock, grill, master bedroom door, ladder to loft) that need to be updated/fixed. If those fixes are done, this place will be spectacular. We would rent this cottage again if we return to Poipu.

  • Manager Responded on 7/3/2019

    Wow, Chris! Thank you for your feedback and we're so thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in Koa Cottage - and got to see the sea turtles too! We're glad you found and used all the beach amenities and it is helpful to know what could have made your stay even better. We do hope you will return soon and allow us to host you again! Aloha & Mahalo!!

  This home is in the best spot on Kauai. Within steps of the ocean! Very quaint home with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. We loved watching the sunset every night from the front porch while sailboats flow by. Very nice snorkeling spots within walking distance as well. We loved every minute of this paradise away from home.

  Cory K from Denver, CO recommends this vacation rental

  Whether you're sipping coffee on the lanai, swinging in the hammock, relaxing in the hot tub, cooking a tropical dinner in the kitchen, watching the sunset from one of the many places to sit in the yard or even watching a movie on the couch, views of the ocean and the accompanying sea breeze are plentiful at the Koa Cottage. As a bonus, a family of sea turtles (honu) can always be found in the water directly through the front yard and across the road. The location is close to a number of beaches, restaurants and shops. The previous reviewer is correct that the property is somewhat dated, but it sounds like the new property management company is continuing to work on improvements and we found the home very comfortable. We had one issue with a door knob, and the property management company fixed it that same day. Additionally, grill plates had been replaced. We stayed 5 nights with a 3-year-old and a 4-month-old, and have been missing the cottage ever since!
