Paradise Found

Almost perfect beyond words but I’ll try. Best stay on the island yet (5th visit). We’ve stayed all over the island and we’ve found our paradise. Steps from the ocean yet somehow secluded in the busiest part of the island. We cooked every night on the verandah and bookie boarded past sunset every day. I can’t wait until we meet again Plantation House! Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!

This is a classic old Hawaiian home one block from the beach. Well located and well furnished. It's not new and shiny and condo perfect, it's a home, which we loved.

Perfectly Relaxing

Our family of four enjoyed everything about the cottage and stay in Lokoa. The owner was very kind and helpful. The accommodations were well thought out. He included beach towels and chairs, buggy boards, and fresh mangos and bananas. We loved the front porch and outdoor shower. All the locals we spoke with were friendly and helpful. We rented bikes from the e-bike place a stones throw away and had a fun ride. Poipu beach was our favorite. The ceiling fans were a godsend. We found some great local restaurants on Rice street. Kauai is a magical paradise and Montgomery’s cottage is fantastic.

Lovely Cottage

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 very much enjoyed our stay at the Plantation Cottage. Perfect, quiet location. It has everything you need and gives a very relaxing island vibe. I could sit on the lanai and listen to the random sprinkle and birds all day. Gorgeous Monkey Pod tree provides nice shade to keep the home cool. The outdoor shower was a great amenity after a day at the beach. We especially loved visiting the outdoor cat, Oni Oni. There is also a mango tree that we enjoyed a couple fresh mangos from. If we come back to south Kauai we'd definitely stay here again!

Anniversary

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Plantation Cottage is a wonderful place. My wife and I have been to Kauai multiple times, and we love Poipu Beach. We always look for rental properties on Pane Road due to the location and Plantation Cottage fits that bill.The Cottage itself is fine but it might be a bit outdated. The fan in one of the bedrooms is quite noisy and so is the bed. The family room furniture definitely needs an upgrade and also the TV. A smart TV would be nice so you can stream from your personal device.A few things to know about this rental. There are more buildings/houses on the property and there could be more renters. We stayed for 2 weeks and had no renters, but the owner kept coming at all times every day. I know it’s his property and he can come and go as he pleases, but if we had known, I would not have rented this place. You rent a house because you want privacy. Again, other renters would be ok, since you’d have known and both parties would have been on the same level, but the owner coming by constantly is just not what you’d expect.Another thing not mentioned in the description; the owner has a cat living on the property; I’m not a cat person and I don’t want a cat on my lanai table during lunch or dinner. It starts “asking for food” in the morning and begs on the lanai.Having said that, we enjoyed the place to the fullest and the owner is very friendly and drops fresh fruit at the Lanai, he also brought new Beach chairs. Kauai, Brennecke’s and Poipu Beach are still my favorite spots.

Great location and we love the retro setting and architecture. I feed the birds each day and watch the Myna, red crested Cardinals, Northern Cardinals, Rock Dove, Stripped Dove and Java Sparrows, not to mention Kauai's Chickens. Watching the star studded sky while using the outdoor shower is a highlight.

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 spend a month each year in late winter in Poipu. This cottage is our go to place. It has 2 nice bedrooms and one small one (a single bed). My wife and I stay here and rent the one next door for our family. It is well equipped and has new appliances in the kitchen. We love that it has a covered porch (yes sometimes it rains on Kauai). It's a short walk to Brennecke's Beach where we ofter view the sunset.

Great spot in Poipu

If you want to stay in the heart of Poipu but not have to be in a hotel/condo this is a great house option. It's small and simple but feels legit-Hawaiian in the best of the ways. Location is fantastic.

Comfortable and homey cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A friend and I enjoyed the home for a week. The beds are comfy, the bathroom is modern, the furnishings are beach house comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, except could use more glass drinking glasses instead of plastic tumblers. Plenty of fans and plenty of towels were very appreciated. Beach chairs etc were available. The house is very clean. I encountered a few harmless scared small critters in the kitchen near the end of our stay. The exterior access could be improved—the driveway has a large rock you have to avoid, and the stepping stones to the front door are spaced too far apart to use. Do heed the instructions about parking on one side of the driveway, as gardeners parked on the other side. The porch was a lovely place to eat and hang out at all times of day, with the monkeypod tree sheltering above and filled with birds. We liked hearing the surf crashing at Brennecke’s Beach. Occasional music from Kalapaki Joe’s drifted over at happy hour. Loved being able to walk places. It was a happy week staying at the Plantation Cottage.

This year the kitchen appliances were new which improved our ability to prepare meals.

The Best Place We’ve Ever Stayed in Hawaii!

This was such a lovely, comfortable, cozy cottage. We felt so at home here! Montgomery and Julie are friendly, helpful hosts, the cottage was clean, and beautiful touches like orchids in the house. An easy stroll to swimming beaches. We will be back! If you are someone who prefers something a little more home and neighborhood than the hotels and condos, this is it!

About the host

Hosted by Kauai Vacation Rentals and Real Estate, Inc

It all began with a vision. A desire to share the magical island of Kauai with the world. And, founder, Lucy Kawaihalau, has dedicated her life to that goal through Kauai Vacation Rentals. "In a vacation rental home or condo, you really feel like you're living here," reflects Lucy, "so bringing together home owners and guests to achieve the 'best fit' is only a part of our distinguished reputation. Our responsibilities are twofold. For our owners, we provide the best management and maintenance services so they can rest easy, knowing their homes are meticulously cared for, since they may be thousands of miles away from their investment. For our guests, we believe they should be treated like royalty." And, it is the respect for the guest that gained Kauai Vacation Rentals recognition throughout the world. A friendly team dedicated to serving the needs of guests, with attention to all the details, makes it all possible. "A vacation to Kauai is so meaningful," adds Lucy. "For some, it may be the trip of a lifetime. For others, it may be a yearly event. This is a splendid place to relax. Our guests are 'energized' when they go home. That's what we mean when we say, 'magical Kauai.' " This genuine business model embodies the Hawaiian word, 'Aloha,' and it has gained much recognition within the industry and business venues, including numerous awards. Many glowing articles have been written, from Kauai Business & Real Estate Magazine, Hawaii Business, and internationally distributed Travel & Leisure Magazine to famed Fortune Magazine. In fact, Lucy Kawaihalau was personally honored with coveted awards from the Small Business Administration and Kauai Chamber of Commerce for her successful business achievements. Lucy concludes, "I am deeply grateful for our recognition and awards. Yet, it is the phone call, with heartfelt and glowing remarks about a visit to Kauai from a satisfied guest that brings us great joy. Therein lies our greatest achievement."
