We stayed in both cottages for 5 days. The homes are older but cozy with good floor plan and spacious front and backyards for our family of 6 adults + 1 toddler. Our 2 year old grandson especially enjoyed playing on the front lawn, which is set back sufficiently from the road located between the main cottage and ocean. However, it was a rocky start - Moonrise Cottage was not cleaned by check in time (due to misunderstanding between owner and local property manager) but unfortunately it did negatively affect our arrival day.
We enjoyed visiting Kauai but we would not stay in Kapa'a again. Pros - centrally located to the north and south areas of Kauai; there is a nice walking path in front on cottages; Baby Beach was closeby and safe for young children; beach front property; enjoyable sunrise view from Sunrise Cottage and front porch/yard; the town is small and walkable from cottages. Cons - small, homeless population located a few blocks away; litter on beach and in town (the rest of Kauai seemed very clean); not a great location for snorkeling.
Overall we enjoyed our trip but the negatives mentioned in this review did put a damper on our stay.
