    About this property

    Sleeping Giant Cottage - a Private Vacation Home

    Kapaa vacation home in Wailua Homesteads with kitchen and patio
    In the morning shadow of the legendary Nou Nou 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. Here is what our guests are saying: 'We needed rest, relaxation, and privacy - a home away from home in the country, not a hotel room. Sleeping Giant Cottage was perfect. Surrounded by tropical plants, light and relaxing inside, with cool breezes, the smell of rain at night, birds to wake us in the morning and wonderful accommodations. This was our fourth visit to Kauai and our best. We look forward to our return. Thank you.' Dave and Barbara, Glen Ellen, CA 'This is a lovely, quiet retreat. A great escape from the maddening crowd!' Steven and Sissel, Berkeley, CA 'What a find! The privacy, the peace and quiet, the bird songs, the cat's bell, the sound of the palm trees in the wind - perfect!' Diane and Phillip, London, England 'A peaceful tropical paradise! Loved all the amazing tropical plants in the garden and the views of the valley and mountains!' John and Elaine, Wichita, Kansas

          Great location in a comfortable setting.

          Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at michelle’s Cottage. It was easy to access the more touristy areas of Kauai without the traffic. The cottage was perfect for two people plus it was equipped with beach towels and chairs. Would love to stay again. Plus, Michelle was easy to access.

            Absolutely perfect!

            The best way to see Hawaii! This is the perfect central location and a comfortable house. This home is stocked with everything we could need, and more! The yard has so many interesting plants and trees, it was like living at a miniature botanical gardens! Mahalo, and I would love to stay again next time I'm Hawaii 🐾

              in the shadow of sleeping giant

              A Wonderfull cottage stay. Well appointed and comfortable. Gives guests the feeling of what it is like to live in Kauai . Rick the owner is top shelf. There is no better concierge at any resort.! The grounds are rich and lush, your own private Jungle. Rick may be selling the cottage. I hope the new owners continue it's use as a guest cottage. We want to come back here next year. Sleeping Giant Cottage is the best.
