This continuous stretch of oceanfront golf is the longest in all of Hawaii and a certain highlight of every visit. Future enhancements include a welcoming new clubhouse on the inland waterway overlooking the 9th hole, along with a world-class practice facility. Both promise to take your game, and your vacation, to the next level.

Great cottage with a wonderful view!
Feb 11, 2020
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Pali Kai Cottage 17A Ocean Bluff. Arrival instructions made it super easy to walk right into the cottage and begin enjoying our stay. There was a full kitchen including small appliances (blender, toaster, etc). This is a small Cottage but very adequate for the two of us! Deck view was beautiful over looking the Marriott beach on the right. A ship port was to the left but it was interesting to watch the cargo ships and cruise ships come to port. Several good restaurants within walking distance on the beach. We discovered the outdoor elevator connecting to the Marriott Resort several days into our stay. That is a must find! As you walk out of Pali Kai Cottages, you will be walking down hill along a railing sidewalk. As the railing ends, you will see a cement walkway on your left to a white building structure. Walk around to the back of that and you just found the elevator!! You will save thousands of uphill/downhill steps by using this hidden gem. You can also see the sunrise in the morning by walking behind the Pali Kai extra parking area towards the ocean. A few steps up the hill and you can enjoy the sunrise. Sunsets enjoyed off of our patio! Lovely stay and would certainly stay here again at our next Hawaiian vacation!

This is a lovely little cottage with everything you need. The location is perfect and it is very comfortable for 1 - 2 people. It is not fancy or expensive, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not the place for you. However, if you're looking for old Hawaii charm, great location and amenities and exceptional service from the property managers, book this one right away. You will feel like you stepped back in time. Enjoy what Hawaii is about - aloha and relaxation.
Awesome!
Dec 15, 2019
Everything was perfect, unit was clean and smelled good. The kitchen had everything you would need and the air conditioner worked well. Balcony is a great place for a cocktail overlooking the water and mountains. Will definitely stay there again if given the opportunity!
Nice Stay
Nov 16, 2019
The best thing here is the location and view. Passes to the Marriott are a big plus.
Loud parties by next door neighbors are intrusive
Oct 19, 2019
The occupants to the south had a very loud, lengthy party that extended well past midnight on Thursday night that was very disturbing. The occupants to the north also had a very loud party Saturday night that became even louder at 1:30am that continued until daybreak. Extremely disconcerting and rude. How are quiet hours enforced?
First time on Kauai
Oct 17, 2019
Definitely rustic, but clean. We loved the bay and access to the beach for our “down times”. Mainly, the location was fantastic for ease of access to our tours all over the island. We went west for some tours, to the north for others, and still others on the east. We basically just slept there, and loved the deck and grill.
Awesome Value, Great Stay
Sep 05, 2019
This place has a beautiful view from the deck at any time of the day. The location is great, and the place is beautiful inside.
Excellent location, great property!
Jul 29, 2019
We had a wonderful time at Pali Kai A. As advertised, the cottage is rustic but full of charm. The location is perfect as long as you don't want to spend a lot of time on the North Shore as traffic up to the north can be horrendous. An easy/beautiful walk/elevator ride down to Kalapaki Bay and the Marriott/Duke's. Only negative is lack of AC in the bedroom and the occasional loud neighbors/persistent rooster which made sleeping at night not always the easiest but relaxing days and naps always made up for it! Would definitely stay here again.
Classic Hawaiian Beach house
Jul 23, 2019
Quaint condo with beach house atmosphere, beautiful view of Kalapaki Bay, and guest privileges at the Kauai Marriott resort. Centrally located in Lihue near a variety of restaurants, shopping, and most tourist attractions like Waimea canyon, cruise harbors, and historic landmarks.
Garden Isle Secret
Mar 21, 2019
It was excellent. The cottage was clean, well stocked with supplies including beach toys,it had a cool island feel with a great view of the beach and bay. It also has Marriott resort privileges.
Ideal vacation home away from home
Feb 10, 2019
This cottage is the ideal vacation home away from home. Excellent location! Access to the Marriott resort pool and restaurants is a definite plus. Parking is close, right outside the front door. We will definitely stay here again! We enjoyed breakfasts on the lanai, listening to the ocean waves crashing below. The home was very clean and well maintained.
Great Ocean View Rental
Nov 28, 2018
We had a wonderful stay in the property. It was immaculate. The location was great and the use of the Marriott facilities put it over the top. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
Pali Kai Cottage Oct. 2018
Oct 23, 2018
Fantastic location & amenities! We LOVED the Marriott pool, sushi bar & concierge, Kalapaki Bay, and beautiful golf course! Cottage is cute, comfortable and clean. Property management was great! View marred by shipping dock and storage facility across the bay. But, surrounding beauty makes up for it. Beds weren't the most comfortable. Location is perfect for easily getting anywhere on the island. We had wonderful time in Kauai with this as our home base. We'd definitely stay there again.
Best Views / Great AC unit.
Oct 09, 2018
We loved having our honeymoon at this location and would easily stay again! We stayed for a whole week. The beach is just a two minute drive away and the most beautiful golf course i've ever seen is right behind you. Nothing can beat the gorgeous sun set and clear night skies we had through our stay. The Marriott perks were also amazing! The staff was super helpful and quick to respond.
A little part of Paradise
Oct 01, 2018
From the reservation process to final departure reminders our experience was great. Cabin was very clean and every need was taken of. And the location was breathtaking. And great rainbows!

Pali Kai Cottage A
Jun 13, 2018
Absolutely perfect!! Great view, location and the use of the Marriott's pool/beach. Will definitely stay here again...
Perfect for our vacation
May 21, 2018
This home was beyond everything we expected honestly. It was perfect. My girlfriend and I spent 7 days here. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The location is amazing, use of the Marriott facilities was a great bonus. Spent a lot of time on the Lanai, but when we ventured out the location was central to everything on the island. I have 0 complaints and would absolutely return, and would recommend this to everyone.
great place

Relaxing Vacation
Mar 25, 2018
We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at this cottage. The cottage is clean, well furnished and perfect for two people. We spent every morning enjoying our coffee and breakfast on the balcony. We practically lived out there. The location is also wonderful, within walking distance to shopping and restaurants and in a central location for your island adventures. We hope to stay here again soon. The Staff with Garden Island were very responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. If you go make sure you eat at Gaylords, the Oasis and hit Kauai Beer for yummy food and beer. Also, Captain Andy’s is the way to go get out on the water. Mahalo Kauai!
Wonderful

Excellent
Had a great time
Feb 19, 2018
Overall I would give this unit 4.5 stars out of 5. It was super clean, had a large patio overlooking the cove and access to the Resort was awesome. Slight negatives where ALLOT of airport noise (airport is literally 2 miles away), dueling roosters every morning (but they are all over the island) and the age of the interior of the unit. But all in all I think we'll be back!
Five star ⭐️ cottage
Nov 26, 2017
We stayed a week in cottage 17and were OMG blown away. Better than we expected amenities, views, and location. Loved the use of the pool and the knock your eyes out amazing golf course right next door. Hanging on the cliff above the Harbour and beach allowed us watch the cruise ships and the surfers �� for hours on end. The only glitch was the porch light which was supposed to work after dark. It never did so we had to use the flashlights on our phones to get up and down the front steps at night. The cottage was clean and had everything you need for meal prep and easy living. Highly recommended for a fabulous vacation. I could stay forever.
Great Kapalaki Bay Property
Nov 26, 2017
Great stay in Kauii. Centrally located property on the island. Lanai was wonderful. Access to Mariott pool a plus. Cooked a few meals here. Saw sea turtles off the lanai!! Watched surfers. Loved our stay here. Highly recommend
Nice alternative to expensive hotels
Oct 08, 2017
The ad indicates save $25 on Garden Island booking, but the fee is the same as VRBO. However, VRBO appears to charge a service fee of $141 for the property.Both VRBO and Garden Island list “Booking Fee (Discounted) $50” on the fee schedule. Just because you list the word discounted does not make it discounted. The fee is likely always $50 and they just throw that word in to make you feel like you are getting a deal.--The Garden Island website states: “Walk to Kalapaki Bay and Marriott Pool & Fitness Center. No additional charge. Cottage sleeps up to 4.” but then says “Located on the grounds of the Kauai Marriott Hotel. Pool & Fitness Center, Spa privileges and discounted Golf (resort fee applies and is for up to 2 adults/2 children).”Be forewarned there is a $20 per day resort fee, that is mandatory. So no, it is not free.That fee mysteriously does not appear in your initial fee schedule confirmation email.As for the initial fee schedule - the numbers simply don’t add up. It is a bit odd not knowing what you are paying for with no justification for the final total. It feels a little bit “bait and switch” but this appears to be standard practice among all these vacation rentals. --Parking is great. Right out front. Very convenient.--Comment on the bed - the bed is a double. There is no room in the bedroom for any luggage. There is enough room to stand on the side of the bed, that is it. I would not recommend this place for 4 people.--Comment on the temperature - we stayed in mid-September and the temperature was fine. There is a fan in the bedroom that we kept on at night that kept the room cool. --It is very dark in the evening. Be careful with the steps and tripping.We arrived late in the night and had a hard time finding the unit. --We did not make use of the kitchen much. The oven is on the smaller side. Would not fit a large pizza. But wor
A Cozy Cottage
Apr 01, 2017
The cottage was a lovely relaxing place to stay. It looked as though a fresh coat of paint would have helped to make it appear brighter and cleaner but we are certainly not complaining. It had everything we needed for a splendid vacation. The proximity to the Marriott and the usage of the pools and extra towels 🙂 was fantastic. Parking at your door step was a nice bonus. The cottage fit our family perfectly, in budget, in size and in proximity to everything. We couldn't find a cheaper vacation rental with similar amenities anywhere. We would go back again.
Cute and comfy
Mar 22, 2017
AS a "stay-cation" to get away from it all, we rented this unit for the weekend. It was really perfect for the two of us. Cute, comfortable, great view and easy beach access. It's got old school charm. Nothing fancy, but everything you need for two people.
Great location!
Feb 03, 2017
The condo is in a great location with a beautiful view. It is very quiet at night and you can listen to the waves crashing. The "bedroom" is fairly small, it is has about 4 inches on either side of the bed, the bed also seemed to be full size instead of queen size. The shades on the deck to block the sun need replacing, they are falling apart. It was great to have a kitchen and laundry! Overall, we enjoyed the condo. We were not able to find the path on the beach to get to the Marriott, that may have washed away.
PERFECT!
Oct 17, 2016
Pali Kai 17A could not have been better. The unit itself is fairly basic but the view and location is Amazing. Yes, the bedroom is small but if you go to Kauai to stay in your bedroom you have missed the point! We would definitely stay here again and the value can not be beat!
Charming cottage looking onto the harbor.
Sep 07, 2016
I found 17A to be an excellent launching point to Kauai's destinations. The access to the pool made it fabulous. Stayed in late August with 1 other adult and two teenagers. Cozy for 4, but do-able if you're used to community space-sharing.Pros: The pool, the charm of the cottage, the deck (great morning/evening views), beach amenities (towels & boogy boards), the short walk through the golf/beach access path for sunrise viewing, Internet access, cable TV.Cons: There is no ceiling fan in the bedroom, only a free standing fan (consider moving the cabinets above the closet-space to a lower level to make room for a ceiling fan). The only other minor things would be that the kitchen needs a rice-steamer & a water pitcher.
Ocean view cottage
Jul 17, 2016
Although small the cottage was exactly as advertised, cozy and comfortable. The view was outstanding ,we made good use of the deck It was clove to shops and restaurants.
Wonderful view property
May 14, 2016
This was our third time renting the Pali Kai cottage. It's always been a good experience. Love seeing all the activity at the port across Kalapaki Bay. This time three cruise ships docked during the week we were there.
Charming cottage needs a little TLC
Feb 24, 2016
We love staying here - the location is fantastic and the view is spectacular, the cottage is sweet. The downside is that it is getting a little tired - perhaps because it is for sale? One of the screen doors is broken - it doesn't slide and the netting is blowing in the wind. The outside cushions have seen better days; the kitchen equipment is fine but a bit of a mishmash. It's sorta charming in a shabby chic sort of way and we would stay here again but a little bit of TLC would make this place really great.
Gorgeous View
Feb 22, 2016
The cottage has everything that you need. The bedroom is small but the bed is comfortable. The bathroom is a good size with two sinks. The kitchen is small but has all the appliances you need. The weather was beautiful and so we didn't need the air conditioning as much. However if it gets really warm, the air conditioning doesn't cool the bedroom area at all. It took awhile to get used to the roosters. They crow early in the morning and are quite loud. The windows in the cottage are screens with shutters (no glass) so the sound comes through. After a few days (and some ear plugs) we got used to them. The view from the lanai is beautiful and it is nice to sit outside and watch the sunset. The use of the Marriott pool is a great benefit! We also used the gym. The elevator is a nice convenience and makes it easy to get down to the Marriott. Though the cottage could use some updating, it still provides what you need and I would recommend it.
Great Vacation!
Dec 13, 2015
Everything was wonderful. Will stay again for husband and I come every year and this cottage was perfect for us.
