We're thrilled to share our house in Kauai with you!

There's a swimming pool, botanical garden-like setting, and location that's extremely convenient for exploring the island.

Our plunge pool is perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach or just lounging in all day while staring at the 100 year old monkeypod tree overhead.

The house is in a peaceful tropical location, but just 10 minutes drive to the beach, rainforest, restaurants and town of Kapa'a.

In the morning shadow of the legendary Sleeping Giant Mountain, amidst rainbows and waterfalls in the pastoral Wailua Valley, this private country home offers the feel of old Hawaii with a mix of modern. It's central location is perfect for exploring the spectacular garden isle of Kauai.

Within a 10 minute drive you can hit the beach, catch a wave, kayak a tropical river, hike the rainforest, climb a mountain, explore historic sites, water ski, hit a golf ball, bird watch, play tennis, horseback ride, mountain bike... whew! Or just relax and sleep late and awake to a symphony of birds in a lush tropical setting at the Sleeping Giant Cottage.

This one bedroom cottage is spacious and private with three large lanais (porches), and is surrounded by a beautiful lush yard with a wonderful variety of tropical fruits and flowers. It is not connected to any other home and is not part of a compound - for those who seek ultimate privacy and comfort, this is the perfect choice. In fact, we specialize in longer stays.

The Sleeping Giant has been a legal vacation rental with satisfied guests for over 20 years! Our permit number is TNVC #1244.

    Tucked away in the hills surrounded by greenery. When we checked in at around 430 all the windows were closed and the house was quite warm because there is no AC but after an hour with the windows open it was very pleasant. The location is good for both northern and southern excursions.

    I’m a critic for cleanliness, and it was flawless. It felt comfortable and homey. Beautiful drive to get to the beach, and a great central location if you want to explore both north and south equally. It was the perfect, secluded spot for a relaxing trip.

    What a great place to stay, my wife and I had the best time and this central location made it easy to get to any place. After sight saying and hiking, this is the perfect home to relax and recuperate and get ready to go again.

    Hosts were very responsive to our 1 small issue and it was resolved quickly. They went above and beyond. House had great amenities. 2 boxes of tissue mosthosts ignore this. Plenty of TP small starter dove soap. There was shampoo conditioner body wash laundry soap and sun screen all great when you are staying on an Island you dont have to run out for basics.and the ice maker works

    It's not far from whatever you need, but also out of the way enough that it feels private and more remote. The property itself is perfect for honeymooners. We stayed in three VRBOs during our honeymoon in Hawaii, and this was my wife's favorite.

    The enclosed back porch is a very relaxing place to sit quietly with a book or tablet. We loved this place. We will be repeat offenders!

    We had a lovely stay at the Sleeping Giant Cottage. We loved having our coffee in the morning sitting on the screened in lanai, to be fair we spent almost all our waking time on the lanai. We were able walk to the trailhead for the Sleeping Giant. We enjoyed the privacy of the plunge pool and it was a great place to cool off! The cottage was surrounded by greenery and trees, it was very nice to just enjoy the views. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals at home. There is no AC in the cottage, however they supply plenty of fans and there is great air flow in the house with lots of windows and sliding doors. Location of the Cottage was great for us, it was secluded and tucked away from the main villages. It took about 11 minutes to get into Wialua by car. We would definitely come back and recommend for couples looking for a relaxing getaway.

    Loved our stay here, hope to be back someday, we loved the screened in porch with day bed, surrounded by greenery and trees, the plunge pool, and the beautiful views nearby. 5 stars!
