This pristine shoreline promises an escape into solitude where you might often find yourself as the sole visitor, enjoying the sights of turtles, collecting shells, and occasionally spotting a Monk seal. Such a backdrop allows you to truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The best part? Civilization is just a short drive away. Centrally located, Moloa'a offers easy access to restaurants, shopping, hiking, and all the adventures that gorgeous Kauai has to offer, before retreating back to the peaceful embrace of Gilligan's Cottage.

Please note that due to proximity to the beach, the property is situated in a tsunami zone. In the rare event of a tsunami, simply head up Moloa'a Road to Koolau Road to reach safety. Also, please be aware that this cottage does not accommodate pets.

Summary: We enjoyed our 2.5 weeks in paradise. Relatively quiet and peaceful isolation. Beaches, shopping, site seeing and human interaction were close by when we wanted it but very much enjoyed our beautiful surroundings and privacy. Tony was an absolute pleasure to interact with and went out of his way to keep things amazing.
