My sister and I absolutely love this little house and were pleased to be Eric and Lilly's first guests. It is an adorable little, very nicely updated 1940's house. The location was perfect for us. It is only a few minutes away from Poipu Beach, but out of the busy resort area in a quiet neighborhood. It is within walking distance of Old Koloa Town shops and dining. I loved going to sleep at night to the sound of the frogs and waking up to the sounds of the birds - yes, including Kauai roosters!
The weather was in the high 70's the whole trip and quite warm in the late afternoons, but we enjoyed having the windows open and were never uncomfortable. There are ceiling fans throughout the house and out on the covered lanai, as well as an extra box fan which we didn't need.
Beds in both bedrooms are comfy; the inside bathroom much larger than other similar houses I've rented; and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is a bathroom with shower in the lanai area also. There is also a grill outside. Beach chairs, umbrella, and towels are provided.
Both Eric and the property manager, Lori, were great communicators! We didn't meet either in person, but did text and email quite a bit. An extra special treat was finding fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices waiting for us when we arrived!
I highly recommend Lily's Koloa Cottage especially for sisters, friends, or a small family looking for a comfortable home-away-from-home or long-term stay in Koloa.
