Several years ago I lucked into finding this place to stay. I have stayed three times and I have never considered staying anywhere else in Kauai. I have recommended this place to several friends. It is just perfect. I call this place Turtle Central because in three trips (a week each time) I have never not seen a turtle looking... More

We loved this place. It truly is the aloha spirit. Centrally located, on a quiet street overlooking the Pacific with a meandering stream directly below your deck. Each day huge turtles swim up the river from the sea to sleep and sun on the warm lava rock. You are greeted by a wonderful intimate garden and BBQ where ripening bananas... More

My wife and I decided to take a nice vacation before our first born arrives and decided on Kauai. After much research we decided to stay at the Garden Isle Cottages in Poipu. The cottage is in a fabulous location in Poipu. Located close to a round-about with 4 roads leading to different adventures. The location makes it easy to... More

Having never rented a private cabin before, I was a little wary of what we were getting. I was pleasantly surprised. Garden Isle was clean and adequately supplied. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. However, you must supply ALL foodstuffs including oils and spices. The bed was comfortable though the pillows were too hard for me.... More

The sea turtles from the deck were very cool, however it was really windy. The kitchen was VERY BASIC, no dish towels/pot holders. No maid service nor did we have contact with one person during our stay. That could be bad or good, depending on what you want.

We have stayed in this property twice now and love the quiet residential location just South of Poipu. It gives you the feeling of staying in a home and is much more cozy than a hotel. You can easily walk to town and to the new shopping center and is just down the road from the National Botanical Gardens. While... More

We stayed at the cottages for our honeymoon and we loved it! It isn't fancy - but it's comfortable and has a great vibe. Some of the furniture is from the early 1900s - so a lot of character. We cooked in both the kitchen and used the BBQ provided in the courtyard - which meant that we didn't have... More

We booked this hotel after reading fairly good reviews. It was not at all what we expected - not necessarily bad, but not great either. The agent was friendly and they had tons of beach gear, hiking books, etc. available for use. The location was pretty good - we were able to walk to shops and restaurants with ease. However,... More

We just returned from our stay at Garden Isle Oceanfront Cottages for our anniversary in November. Everything was simply perfect for us. The location is slightly removed from the resort area, but close enough to be convenient to all of the restaurants and beaches. The view was great - overlooking a beautiful stream, ocean inlet with sea turtles, and whaler's... More
