Fodor's Expert Review Waimea Plantation Cottages

9400 Kaumualii Hwy., Box 367, Waimea (Kauai County), Hawaii, 96796, USA

  • 2 Guests
  • 1 Room

Originally built in the early 1900s, history buffs will adore these relocated and refurbished one- to five-bedroom sugar-plantation cottages, which are tucked among coconut trees along a lovely, walkable stretch of beach on the sunny West Side. (Note that swimming waters here are often murky, but morning and evening strolls on the black sand are special.) These cozy homes of different sizes are replete with porches and feature plantation-era furnishings, modern kitchens, and cable TV. Guests can also use the swimming pool, barbecues, and hammocks on the grounds and there's a cute gift shop and restaurant. Waimea town has limited shops and eateries, but it's close to Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park.
