Tradewinds Cottage's classic Hawaiian environment is the paradise you've been searching for!

Kauai's chronically sunny west side, with dry sunny days, offers several of the state's best beaches, the breathtaking natural beauty of Waimea Canyon, the unexpected splendor of Kokee State Park and views so stunning of the rugged Na Pali coast you'll forget to get your camera out. For adventurous travelers, Kauai's west coast serves as a launching point for world-class hiking, boating, sport fishing, surfing and helicopter tours of the island's interior. If you're looking for peace and quiet, take a short walk to the beach with a towel, a book, a drink, your favorite person or all the above to watch the sunset over Ni'ihau, Hawaii's Forbidden Island. Inside, you'll feel like you stepped into a dream.

And if you're out at night, don't forget to lean your head back and look up at the stars -- they look like they're just just beyond arm's reach. Or you could light the outdoor grill to start a memorable meal with your loved ones. Whether you've been out and about or nearby, you will look forward to coming home to Tradewinds Cottage.

Also nearby is Port Allen, Kauai's west side port, where you can sign up for a sunset cruise or an ocean-bound tour of the Na Pali Coast, both memorable and exciting side trips. Whether you want to picnic or hike, or just ponder Kauai's natural beauty, drive to the top of Kauai, accessible from the towns of Waimea and Kekaha. Driving up to Kokee State Park will take you past what Mark Twain called 'The Grand Canyon of the Pacific'.
Tradewinds Cottage offers a full kitchen and a washer and dryer to make your stay more pleasant.
The gracious interior invites conversation over dinner or drinks with friends and family with an open floor layout between the living room, dining room and kitchen.Louvered windows let the trade winds blow through the house, a constant reminder you're in Hawaii.

You can keep up, if you desire, with what's going on in the rest of the world with cable TV and free Wi-Fi internet. If you're in Kauai to work, there is plenty of space to spread out, a phone, a good internet connection, and services nearby.

You will enjoy your stay at Tradewinds Cottage whether you have a week, a month, or longer to spend on Kauai. Many of our guests are repeat visitors and will attest to how pleasant their stay was. You, like them, will reflect on the ocean side sunsets over the island of Ni'ihau, the timeless surfers riding the timeless waves, and discovering your personal favorite spots around the island. Your only regret will be leaving.

We look forward to seeing you!

Better the second time
This is the second time that we have stayed in this house. It is clean, has everything you would need, quiet, and comfortable for a stay of a week or more. Kekaha is a great little town without the tourist stuff you see in other places. I can't recommend this house or this location enough.

great house
We had a great time in this beautiful and cozy house. It is a bit outdated and it wasn't quite as clean, but that wasn't a problem for us: you always feel very comfortable in this house! The location is also great. The contact with the administration was excellent, we received all the information early on and in an easily understandable way. Thank you very much.

Classic Hawaiian Cottage
Very comfortable cottage on a private property. While there is some neighborhood noise, the advantage of being walking distance to a beautiful beach makes up for that. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped and the cottage stays cool with the numerous fans and vented windows. We really enjoyed our stay.

Quiet Getaway near the Ocean
We enjoyed our stay in this quaint beach house. It's an older well lived in home. We felt relaxed and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking at home. The groundskeeper was friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property, it was even better than the pictures led us to expect. It’s not in the middle of things, but that’s what we like and it is an island, it’s not far to where you want to be. The neighborhood was quiet (except for the roosters), the beds comfortable and we had everything we needed. I don’t understand the complaints about the refrigerator, we even had water freeze in the refrigerator part. We would definitely stay here again.

First Hawaii Experience
We had such an amazing time for our first time in Hawaii. This place was perfect for coming back after a long day and being able to relax. We loved having the washer/dryer and dishwasher and all of the amenities. it was a so close to a nice beach that we were able to take a short dive to. Would definitely love to come back!

Quaint
Overall we loved it, manager was very nice and the property was great! It was in a bit more rural part of the island which we liked! But the down side is we had to drive a ways for a lot of the touristy kinds of locations. We didn’t mind though, Kekaha beach is seriously awesome and only like a 2 minute drive.

South Side Rental
Pros - Good location for beaches/canyon/Waimea. Cons - Noise - local traffic, multiple neighborhood dogs barking, ever present crowing roosters. Not very quiet. Rental needs some serious maintenance. Appears to be past fixer upper. Considering the quality of the other 2 rentals during this vacation this rental is over priced.

Just open your windows & hear the ocean
The place was clean, cozy & in a quiet neighborhood (except the roosters - but hey... it's Kauai). Away from the tourism & crowds. I loved that this place was minutes from the beach. I look forward to coming back to this place.

Our home away from home!
We loved this little cottage next to the beach! We were walking distance to the ocean to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. If you want to sit at the beach for sunset, drive down the road to Kekaha beach. We could hear the ocean waves from our house! It was the perfect neighborhood, and we felt at home. It took us a little while to get used to the sound of chickens early in the morning, but we soon took advantage of the fans in the house to help us sleep through it. We loved the location of this house! Close enough to Waimea for groceries, shopping and places eat. We also loved the salt pond for our 4 old yr old daughter. We were so grateful that there were beach towels and beach chairs for us to use on our day trips. We also used the little cooler everyday to pack lunches and keep our water cool. While the home may be a little outdated, it made us feel at home and experience Kauai in a more organic way. There was fresh fruit on the property that was delicious. The groundskeeper came by one of the days and did a fantastic job sprucing everything up. Very friendly, and a hard worker! This was a our first time bringing our daughter to Kauai and it was magical! She fell in love with the area and keeps asking when we will come back. We would stay at this sweet home again. Mahalo!

Clean and spacious
We enjoyed staying at this property and being close to Waimea canyon for hiking and not too far from Poipu for snorkeling and swimming. Also not too far from Hannipepe where we enjoyed the bookstore, bakery, and the Friday Art night. The house felt very spacious and we appreciated the beach supplies (towels, chairs, and even snorkel masks!).We got used to the sounds of chickens quickly and enjoyed being in a quiet neighborhood. Recommend highly!

Best place ever
This house does not feel like it’s a tourist destination. It is a real Hawaii experience. It’s one or two houses back from the ocean with a full kitchen, living room and dining room. Kekaha is super mellow. Close to hiking in Waimea canyon and close to beautiful beaches. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed on vacation. Nothing could have been better
