(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...

Fresh avocados and tangerines right off the trees in the yard were a real plus. ##### David Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jake T. 29 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing getaway at Gilligan’s cabin Stunning property.

Any time we thought of something we should have brought, we found it in the cottage- thankfully that included a sun umbrella. It truly has a thoughtful home feeling and the yard itself is paradise! We ate fruit from the yard and stargazed at night. The best açaí bowls and healthy food at Kalalea Juice Hale right close on the corner of Koolau Road. Much time spent at Moloa’a beach and hiking Larsen’s. A short drive to many great locations. The best time imaginable. We will return without a doubt! ##### Nicole R.

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. ##### Sandy C. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura K., Dale, Wisconsin 3 Jun 2010 #### Paradise Found My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Kauai and rented Gilligan's Cottage in August 2009\. We were there for 10 days and couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! Gilligan's is everything it boasts to be and more...the pictures don't do it justice. The owners have thought of every possible amenity to make it feel like a home away from home. It was spotless and well maintained. We loved spending time on the lanai. The bed was very comfortable. Don't pack a lot of clothes, as you won't need them! The washer and dryer are very handy to have. The owners are very helpful and accommodating. The North Shore offers lots of sightseeing, beach, shopping and restaurant choices. Moloa'a Beach is paradise found....especially beautiful for pictures in the early morning. We would recommend this cottage to anyone. You won't be disappointed and the price is incredibly good. ##### Laura K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen S. 11 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Stephen S.

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 ##### Scott W.

Moloa'a Beach is just as advertised, beautiful and uncrowded, and a four and a half minute walk from the cottage. Tony's local helpers do a wonderful job. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. We really liked the layout of the cottage, perfect for a couple and with ample space. The front and back decks are terrific, we really enjoyed them. We love an outdoor shower and weren't disappointed by the large outdoor shower area at Gilligan's. The cottage was generously equipped with all the kitchen utensils and appliances we needed, plenty of towels for the shower and the beach, paper goods, soaps, shampoos, and laundry supplies. There are also dozens of movies and books, including a variety of Kauai guide books. The cottage has a variety of items for enjoying the beach: chairs, mats, coolers, snorkel gear, and a wagon for hauling it all. Tony went above and beyond by providing detailed information weeks ahead of our arrival. He had hints about managing arrival at Lihue Airport, good directions to the cottage, and detailed information about the cottage itself. He also provided detailed information about activities in the area. We really appreciated the effort Tony put into his package of information. We loved the cottage and the area and had a great getaway. ##### Alison B.

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 ! ##### Stephen M.
