Gilligan's-secluded air-conditioned Cottage Near Gorgeous Beach--TVNC-4189
And not only secluded, but only a four and a half minute walk to a gorgeous and private beach! (I know VRBO wrote “six minute walk” in the title, but I measured it once!). Gilligan's Beach Cottage is not like one of the houses packed into town--it is about 15 minutes east of Princeville in rural Kauai in an unspoiled, natural valley called Moloa'a. If you check it out on a map, you will find Moloa'a Bay in the upper right hand corner. Since there is very limited public parking near the beach, this beach is relatively undiscovered by tourists. Hollywood, however, did discover this idylic location in the 1960's and filmed the entire pilot episode of 'Gilligan's Island' here--thus, the name we chose.
Gilligan's Cottage is situated on a large rural lot which is filled with fruit and palm trees, to the delight of our guests. This valley is sparsely populated, and privacy and tranquility is what you will find here. Gilligan's has one bedroom, one full bath with a private outdoor Hawaiian Shower (which is very popular with our guests!). The cottage is fully modern in every way, yet still retains the charm of Old Hawaii in its plantation setting. And not only that, for the warmer, more humid summer days, Gilligan’s has a high-quality Lennox split-system air conditioning unit!
Moloa'a Beach--oh, the beach! Just a four and a half minute walk down a lovely paved country road. Very beautiful, very clean and very LONELY! Many times, you will be the ONLY one to be walking this beach watching turtles, picking up shells, and observing an occasional Monk seal. This is the type of setting in which you totally forget that there is a civilization!
But the nicest part--civilization is just a few minutes drive away from Gilligan's! You will notice that Moloa'a is centrally-located on Kauai, and after a day at restaurants, shopping, hiking, and touring paradise, you still have Gilligan's to come home to--only a dream away...

Being close to the beach means that we are located in a tsunami zone. In the unlikely case of a tsunami, simply drive up Moloaa Road to Koolau Road, where you will be out of the tsunami zone.

Simply AMAZING!
Everything about this property is incredible! The actual cottage itself, the surroundings, the location. Nestled in the jungle just a short distance walk to the ocean. Bright green geckos outside. The sounds of tropical birds.
I didn’t shower indoors for a week because of the outdoor shower! The breeze blowing gently through the trees. The fruit trees. The coziness. Everything about it was PERFECT!
My husband and I came to Kauai to get married and spend our honeymoon on the Island. Tony wrote us a sweet note wishing us a great time and happy Honeymoon! :) Property was easy to find, quiet neighborhood.
We felt like we were HOME staying here! I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Anahola is such an awesome little town. The market isn’t too far away. Close to Kapaa, Hanalei.
Sigh. I miss it so much! Would give anything to go back

This beautiful, secluded spot is surrounded by flora and Fana. The avocado tree outback is just ready for you to pick a big ripe avocado along with all the other fruit trees. Tony was a wonderful and very attentive host.

A Step Back in Time
This place and it's location are a Hawaii from decades ago. My wife and I only spent three days/nights there, and wished we'd stayed a week or more. The house itself is a little funky but it has everything you need to be comfortable. Less can certainly be more. It is well equipped. The kitchen has a lot of things for cooking, great filtered water, spices sauces, so you don't have to go out and buy a lot of stuff a a market. The BBQ is great. There are beach towels, snorkeling equipment, and a couple of boogie boards. The property is really nice, with fruit trees, tropical flowers, a huge avocado tree, coconut palms, and lots of jungle foliage.
The best part is the location. It's out of the way, and it's a fantastic, secluded bay.
If you want a place to really relax, talk to the owner, Tony, and reserve a slot of time in paradise! He's a wonderful guy to talk to, and he wants to give his guests the opportunity to share something very special!

Amazing getaway at Gilligan’s cabin
Stunning property. Couldn’t wait to get home each night and sit out in the lanai. Outdoor shower was awesome. Enjoyed the stray cats that visited us each day and the geckos…and even roosters. Beach within walking distance was incredible and never packed. Cabin exceeded our already high expectations. Would absolutely recommend 10 times over.

Paradise Perfection
First time to Kauai, found Gillian's on a stroke of good luck. Words here are not enough but I'll try. Attention to detail, clean beyond belief, perfectly put together with obvious well thought out guidance and instruction throughout the cottage from Tony. Things you never think about until you are there,,, for example, which switch turns on the ceiling fan, which direction do you turn the handle for the hot water in the shower, which little button quick starts the coffee maker. All of these and so much more are clearly labeled. Not often mentioned on reviews of other cottages, but I think an important one here that shows the thought Tony has put into his rental. The cottage is gorgeous, quiet, comfortable, and just makes you want to relax and be................
Everything works , ie, is functional in this house by the way.
The pics do not do it justice.
You will find everything, and I mean everything you need for a 2 night, or 2 month stay. Incredible. I hate giving such high praise because the bookings are so full so far out but Tony deserves the praise. We had the pleasure of meeting he and his wife, top shelf people.
We will be back !

Fantastic cottage!
My husband and I had an amazing stay in this cottage. Tony gave detailed directions on getting to the cottage as well as how to get the keys. I can’t describe how peaceful I felt here. The grounds, the birds, the flowers, and the fruit trees were amazing. The cottage was secluded and felt more like home which was so different from the resort areas. It was a short walk to the beach and it was not crowded at all. We went every day and just sat and enjoyed the waves. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend this cottage. Sitting on the deck, drinking a glass of wine, watching the chickens and cats was extremely pleasurable and relaxing. This is on my favorites list for future visits. Thank you Tony. I am going to miss your part of Kauai.
