The Spotlight on Waimea Plantation Cottages a Coast Resort

Laid-back Island Vibes with Oceanfront Views

Step back in time at Waimea Plantation Cottages a Coast Resort, a collection of restored plantation-style cottages nestled on the black sand beaches of Kauai’s west coast. Located in historic Waimea town, this tranquil retreat blends vintage Hawaiian charm with modern comforts. Each cottage is bright and colorful, decorated with tropical artwork and floral prints, and features a full kitchen, patio with ocean views, and cozy living spaces—perfect for winding down after a concert.

Why Concert-goers love it

The resort is just a 10-minute walk from the Waimea Theater, making it an ideal stay for live music fans who want to skip the hassle of parking or late-night transport. The peaceful, oceanfront setting offers a quiet contrast to the high-energy vibe of a show, and with check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s time to relax before and after the music. While you won’t find bustling nightlife on-site, the serene atmosphere and proximity to small-town venues make it a unique, crowd-free base.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to share a cottage with beach access and BBQ options
- Solo travelers seeing a legendary act at Waimea Theater
- Couples wanting a romantic, unplugged weekend with a side of live music
- Fans who want a peaceful post-concert recovery spot
- Budget-conscious travelers who want kitchen facilities and great value without sacrificing charm

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each cottage includes a full kitchen and there are local eateries within walking distance—perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. The resort also features barbecue facilities for a laid-back group meal under the stars. Breakfast options are nearby, and the in-room kitchens mean you can make your own if you're not an early riser.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but you’re close to Waimea’s local bars and lounges, and the Waimea Theater often hosts live events. If you prefer to chill, your cottage patio with ocean views and a cool drink might be all the nightlife you need.

What People Say

Guests rave about the authentic Hawaiian experience, the peaceful setting, and the proximity to local attractions like the Waimea Canyon and live music venues. The cottages are often described as “spacious,” “homey,” and “perfect for relaxing after a busy day.” Reviewers love the oceanfront pool and the lush, well-maintained grounds.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the cottages are a bit rustic, and the vintage style may not appeal to those looking for sleek, modern interiors. There's no air conditioning in some units, which can be a factor in warmer months, though the ocean breeze helps. Also, no on-site restaurant means planning ahead for meals.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a mix of beachfront tranquility and walkable access to live music, Waimea Plantation Cottages offers a one-of-a-kind Hawaiian stay steeped in history and charm.

Would definitely come back!

Liked: Loved this place. Would definitely stay again. View from the room, comfort, gorgeous porch, air conditioning, everything was great. The restaurant- chicken bbq, and pizza, and the great beer selection made it worth coming home for dinner at night. The wonderful staff even provided us with beach chairs and an umbrella and cooler to take to the beach with us.
Disliked: Nothing, everything met or exceeded expectations

An old Kauai feel property.

Liked: The cottage was fully equipped with all we needed. We especially liked the beautiful grounds and the trees surrounding the cottages. Keeping the main building & reception is a plus
Disliked: Cottages and the quiet is a plus for us before we headed to Hanelei. The only negative is the lack of restaurants in the area which I understand as people passing through from the canyon.

Plantation-era cottage in quiet setting;...

Liked: Elegant vibe combined with authentic plantation buildings. Quiet. Nicely located at base of Waimea Canyon, where we hiked for several days. Clean. Complementary laundry facilities.
Disliked: Facilities a bit rough: refrigerator had condensation ice on back wall and froze our vegetables. We missed the niceties found at other lodgings: coffee, basic seasonings, olive oil, welcome basket. Screen door swung open unless locked. No beach towels, chairs, or other beach stuff, despite beachfront property.

We were SO happy with...

Liked: We did not pay extra for an ocean view, but WOW! Our cabin (35) was situated in a wonderful location, quiet and so beautiful across from a park with a partial ocean view. The entire property is gorgeous! Our cabin was so cozy!
