This collection of restored vintage plantation-era cottages is on the dry, quiet West Side, near the road heading up to Waimea Canyon and Koke ‘e State Park and within striking distance of the 17-mile beach at Polihale State Park. Couples who aren’t off exploring can take advantage of the secluded setting with long walks on the driftwood-dotted, black sand beach or lounging in a free cabana by the compact pool.

The 59 cottages of varying sizes are spread across 43 acres. They come with full kitchens, with Chicken in a Barrel BBQ restaurant and bar onsite and more casual dining options within a short drive.
