Bamboo accents and a vaulted ceiling give the room a bright, open feel. Window A/C cools it on warm afternoons, and a cross-breeze comes through with the windows open.

"This was a perfect, peaceful cottage with access to tons of gear for beach days and water sports! Its location right on the Wailua River was amazing and the kayaks + launch spot made for an easy and memorable day exploring :)"

"The cottage we stayed at (Canal A) had a gorgeous view of the Wailua River and we loved watching all the kayakers and boats on the water each morning."
