About this property

Coco Cottage at Poipu Beach - 2BR/2BA, Luxury Home

Coco Cottage at Poipu Beach is a classic, sugar plantation-style home located on the sunny south shore of Kauai. Completely rebuilt, it offers beautiful furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, two air-conditioned bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, two bathrooms, and a huge, breezy lanai - offering island living at its best. Located in the heart of Poipu, Coco Cottage is just a 30-second walk to the ocean at the end of the street where you will find Brennecke's Beach and Poipu Beach Park for some of the best swimming, sunning, snorkeling and surfing on Kauai. Restaurants, delis, coffee shops, surf & beach rental shops, and a tennis club are all within an easy stroll of the cottage. Kauai is a dream destination, with the famous Na Pali Coast on one end of the island and stunning Waimea Canyon on the the other. Coco Cottage is the perfect place to take advantage of all the adventures Kauai has to offer, or to relax and do nothing at all.

A real Brennecke charmer

We only stayed the one night sadly, but this is a beautifully appointed beach house, just a short stroll away from Brennecke and Poipu beaches. Very tastefully furnished, with generously sized bedrooms and ensuites, and a fabulous lanai and back lawn for sunset drinks and dinner. Highly recommended.

Amazing

I stayed here with my family for my brother’s wedding and we had an absolutely wonderful time. This house is stunning and has such a welcoming feeling. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive and so welcoming as well. We would love to stay here again!

One of the Best

We have rented vacation homes all over the world and this was one of the best. It’s located in a touristy area, but is tucked away and private. Everything was extremely clean and well-appointed. Just up the street from Brenneke’s beach where dozens of sea turtles swam in every night to rest.

Awesome!

This property is beautiful and so close to the beach. Just a short walk. The inside of the house is impeccably done and everything you need is there. The beds were very comfy and the vibe is pure aloha. We definitely would stay there again. Mahalo

The Perfect Stay

Just imagine a rainy afternoon on Kauai, sitting on a lanai overlooking a lush, green and orchid filled backyard, reading your book. When the rain stops you walk a block to the beach and see the sunset over the turtles. Fresh Mahi Mahi and a Mai tai at Brennecke’s, and settle into your comfortable bed with en-suite baths Perfect stay.

Really enjoyed our stay in a nice part of the island. Co co cottage was ideally positioned close to the beach and restaurants. The island has lots of chickens. They can be noisy at night and need serious culling.

Charming and well-equipped cottage very convenient to Poipu Beach Park.

This is a gem of a property! Spacious, bright, airy, great common areas, incredibly well-equipped kitchen. Layout worked well for our family of two couples. Communication with the owners was excellent. Two fabulous beaches, and lounging sea turtles, are an easy walk away; glorious sunsets a block down the road. I recommend it enthusiastically!

2nd time’s a charm just like the first time around!

We stayed here two years ago for the first time and fell in love with this charming cottage. We knew that we would return because it is so lovely. (Please see our review dated 11/7/22). It has been beautifully maintained and the owners are wonderful. On our first night, one of the showers was not working properly. We reached out to the owners and they were here to address the issue within 30 minutes. It goes without saying, we hope to return to beautiful Coco Cottage the next time we’re in Kauai!

Lovely cottage in great location!

The property was just as the description and photos showed, in a wonderful neighborhood that we have stayed in several times! A short walk to the beaches and daily stroll to watch the sunset. The peacefulness and beauty of the back porch and yard are even better than pictured. My only suggestion would be to add a hammock and some lounge chairs to make the backyard even more blissful...but that's just a tiny wish, everything was wonderful and the hosts so kind and thoughtful!

About the host

Hosted by Joan and Rick Shaw

Host profile image
We've lived on Kauai for over 40 years, and our grandchildren represent the 5th generation raised on the island. Rick's grandparents came to Kauai in the early 1920's; his grandfather was a civil engineer in the sugar plantation industry. We've traveled the world, but can't imagine living anywhere else. Until recently, Rick was a part-owner of Coldwell Banker Makai Properties, a local real estate company, which he sold to Coldwell Banker Island Properties from Maui. Rick is now a broker with CBIP and Joan recently retired after a long career in education.

Why they chose this property

Some of Rick's fondest memories include learning to swim, body surf, and surf at Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach. We have classic photos of his mother swimming there in the early 1930's. Our own daughters spent their childhoods on these shores. We were thrilled to find this little house for sale in 2016, as we could see the potential for a perfect vacation home. We spent most of 2017 renovating it, and adding all the special touches we would want in our own home.

What makes this property unique

The minute you kick off your shoes and enter Coco Cottage, you will feel yourself unwind and relax. With the French Doors open to the trade winds, ceiling fans gently turning, birds chirping outside, and the beach just steps away - you'll be in instant vacation mode. The kitchen offers everything you'll need to make a casual snack or turn out a gourmet meal. The king-size beds are of high quality and comfy, and plantation shutters ensure a good night's sleep. Both bedrooms have air conditioning units, giving you the option of a cool retreat on warm nights. The bathrooms are spacious and inviting, and the closets provide plenty of room for your belongings (bathing suit and shorts!). You can enjoy breakfast on the lanai, a run along the coastline, or a sunset picnic at the beach pavilion. We invite you to come, stay, and build special memories of your stay on Kauai.
