All of our cottages are equipped with free wireless internet.

We have coolers, chairs, mats, umbrellas, boogie boards and fins. You only need to buy a mask if you wish to snorkel. We have you covered with the rest including plastic beach toys for kids.

Check-In is at 3:00pm. If possible we can accommodate early Check-In. Call us from the airport to see if it is possible.

No, we do not serve breakfast.

We are 5 miles from the airport. It is a 15 minute ride and a cab costs <$25.

We have been issued a permit by Kauai County to operate a vacation rental. Our permit number is TVNC-1070.

We do not, but there is a phone available on premises and an iPhone you can borrow while you are out and about.

Because we are such a small operation, we have what might appear to be a strict cancellation policy. If notice is received within 60 days of arrival, we are unable to issue a refund, unless we are able to rebook, then we will refund your Rent minus a $50 cancellation fee.. If notice is received 60 days or more in advance of arrival, a full refund will be issued minus a $50 cancellation fee. We, ourselves, are travelers too and know that emergencies can and do occur. For this reason, we highly recommend http://www.insuremytrip.com/ which offers travel insurance to guard against death, illness or any other emergency that may require a cancellation. We thank you in advance for understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Check-Out is at 11:00am. If available you can stay till 3 pm at no charge, however, if you wish to keep the cottage for use after that, then there is a charge of 50% of your room rate and we will guarantee a late Check-Out till your flight time, but this has to be confirmed beforehand. If your flight departs after 8pm, then I would recommend this highly.

We have washer/dryer available at no charge. Detergent is included.

It is possible to make do without a car and use a combination of bicycle and public transportation. However, your mobility will be limited and you will not be able to visit quite a few places.
