We'll give you a schedule so you can check out the freshest local produce, including exotic varieties of fruit, to use in the dishes you create. There is a gas BBQ for grilling fresh fish and veggies as well as your own favorites.

In addition to the full bathroom there is also a "tropical shower" outdoors that many guests prefer while on our beautiful "Garden Island."

Grace and charm at the beach

This is for people who enjoy old-fashioned charm; a bungalow from the 30’s that allows you to feel you are actually living the Hawaiian life. Privacy, quiet, and convenience. There is public access almost directly across the road and it was 5 minutes from walking out the door to snorkeling (we counted at least 3 dozen type of fish). Walk to the Beach House or Lawai Beach. We hope very much to return.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this quaint little house. Fairly clean. Had to replace two previously broken umbrellas. Beach chairs might need to be replaced. Shower glass needs a lot of attention. Beach towels need to be replaced. For the price we paid these items shouldn’t even be addressed. It would be nice to have had a few more spices to cook with. Had to ask for garbage bags and had to buy TP. There should be enough supplies for the duration of the stay.

The home that saved the storm

We had planned this trip for 3 years, saved up for it, wanted it to be a dream and life-long memory for our 18 year old son, graduating from HS shortly. It was his big gift, and our last vacation as a family while our son was in school and at home still. Then a huge week long storm came. If it weren't for this house, and the warm, adorable feel, the location, across the street from what is now my happy place on Earth, Baby Beach, we would have lost this dream. The house became our memory, and we made fabulous ones here. My husband and I have already told the neighbors (also wonderful), we will be back every year, we hope to bring our grandkids here (no pressure, 18-year-old son) (only child)! In short, we will be back. There is nothing this house is missing, especially the feeling of home. It actually reminds us of one of our former homes here in San Diego, the craftsman-style feel and so much comfort. They provided everything. And should it rain all day while you're there (unusual, it typically rains for only moments), go to Spouting Horn, magnificent in the rain, right up the street, or go for a run in the rain and collect fallen plumerias and put them in a huge bowl in your living room, it will make the whole house smell amazaing (I did this daily) There are always enough plumerias on the ground if you look. Take a walk around the park around the block and see the tribute to the King. Go to the shopping center up the street and brouse, the store owners are so kind and I got to know two of them over the week and brought one some art of my own. Take a nap with the bedroom door open and listen to waves crash while you read a book, take a BATH, the bathtub is amazing. And play a game with your family, because who has time to do that at home..... I mean really who does! You need vacation and rainy days for that. Well, it met all of our needs, I got to snorkle when the sun peeped out, although I did that in the rain too, and my son and husband spent their every moment they could body surfing at the famous Brenekes. My favorite day was our last full day. They took off for body surfing, and I went back and forth between Baby Beach and my home, as I was making art and reading a book, and running back and forth excited because I found the perfect piece of rock. To top it off, a friend from elementary school was right by us, and his family met mine on Baby Beach. we hadn't seen each other since 8th grade. Top that.

We loved the Little Grass Shack

This is a perfect place for a family vacation on Kauai. It was a short walk (less than 5 mins) to Baby Beach. There is snorkeling in a small coral bunch and the rest is sandy. The house was equipped with everything you could need for cooking, bbq, and towels for showering/beach. We will be back!

Great Location, Dated Ammenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We would recommend this to folks due to the location and cost if they were okay with some of the negatives mentioned below:Appearance/Cleanliness: The house is very cute and clean. The only cockroaches we ever saw were in the detached shed where the laundry is located.Parking: Easy with a small vehicle. A large truck or suburban would have issues.Washer/Dryer: Located in the shed and worked great.Location: 2 minute walk to Baby Beach, which we liked better than Poipu Beach due to the lack of crowds. It's a quick drive to some great local food.Air Conditioning: This was our biggest problem with the house. Locals told us while we were there that it was more humid than normal so maybe our experience would differ from someone who went during a cooler time. There are 6,000 BTU window AC units in each bedroom. Great for sleeping but we couldn't keep the rest of the house cool. Used fans to redirect the AC into the living room and kitchen but barely made a dent. Kitchen was way too hot to cook dinners in. **Add a third in the kitchen and would make a big difference.**Living Room: Great for quick sitting but not accommodating for watching movies.Kitchen: Appliances, though dated, did the job. Had everything we needed. Dining table seats two.Bedrooms: The master bed (queen) was surprisingly comfortable though very loud with the smallest movement. The kids room was a good size but the mattresses felt like cardboard. Our 4 year old son didn't know any different and slept just fine but had we gone with our teens or mother-in-law, they wouldn't have been able to sleep on the beds. Storage and outlets in both rooms were fine.Floors: the twine rugs were hard on our feet. I get they are there to catch sand but made it hard to walk barefoot in the house until our feet got used to them.Summary: We were not dissatisfied with this house and had an amazing trip but probably will look for something more modern next time.

Great beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a good time here. Close to multiple kid-friendly beaches, and easy to get to many other restaurants and interesting sites. The house could use a deep cleaning, but it is well stocked and we were comfortable there. We would stay here again on future visits. We only rated the property management company a 3 because they were highly unresponsive when messaged prior to our visit. Fortunately we did not need to contact them during our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Little Grass Shack was the perfect place for us to launch our south shore Kauai adventures! It was perfectly clean, comfortable well-appointed and maintained-truly a home away from home. Really appreciated the outdoor shower after a long beach day. The neighborhood is very sweet, with Baby Beach and its spectacular sunsets just steps away from the house. One evening we walked to the Beach House for a sunset dinner-what a treat! Little Grass Shack gave us a chance to feel like we live on Kauai. Our week there was the opposite of a touristy experience. Mahalo to the folks at Kauai Vacation Rentals for your friendly, responsive and very professional service.

Nice Cottage in a Good Location

We did enjoy the cottage and used the front balcony in the morning and the rear patio in the evening. It has a pleasant living space and a decent kitchen. It is always hard to know what to expect in the way of kitchen supplies. Here we found some salt but no other staples such as sugar or olive oil. This is not a complaint, but just a warning if you plan to self cater. 2 excellent restaurants (the Beach House and Merriman's) within walking distance but take a flashlight the walk back is very dark. Also make reservations before you go. Overall, we would unhesitatingly stay here again.

We loved the cottage and location

We enjoyed our stay. Thanks for the use of the beach chairs and umbrellas. Two improvements necessary: 1. There need to be a hand railing goi g down the steps to the shed. I almost had a bad fall there after it rained. 2: the indoor shower door doesn’t close all the way and water sprays out on to the wood floors

All around great experience.

The property managers were easy to work with, even when we had to postpone our visit for a year due to COVID-19. The property is in great condition and we had everything we needed for a great Kauai vacation (even snorkel gear and laundry facilities). Great location, a short walk to multiple beaches. Even in July, we never had to use the AC. The fans and the ocean breezes kept us comfortable. We'd definitely recommend the Little Grass Shack and Kauai Vacation Rentals.
