Ellen's cottage was a fabulous place to stay! I highly recommend this cottage. We stayed for a month on a work/play vacation and absolutely loved the location. It is central to everything in Kauai, and a great base to go explore the island. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The beds are extremely comfortable and very clean and welcoming. We slept well! If you are into bike riding, the approximately 12 mile bike path starts right in front of the cottage and continues along the coast. The views from the bike path are some of the most breath-taking on the island (you can't get to them by car). We purchased two bike cruisers for $102 each from Walmart in Lihue. We found that this was much cheaper than renting bikes. The bikes were fabulous because we were able to avoid all of the traffic through Kapaa. We recommend doing this! There were a few very minor problems that came up in the cottage, but Ellen and her team were on it with 15 minutes. The wifi is very strong and both my husband and I were able to make Zoom business calls and work remotely. I encourage you to book this place--Ellen really is a SUPER HOST!!
