My wife and I traveled to Kauai this winter along with my wife's parents, and stayed at 17 Palms for a week. We took both cottages (Meli Meli and the Hale Iki), so we could have privacy but stay in the same compound. It worked out perfectly. But lemme back up - before we even arrived, we'd had a few... more

I selected this location because I wanted to see Kauai and this cottage was smack in the middle of the road. Since I was out and about every day, having a place right on the beach was not important to me. Jeff and Ross are incredible hosts and the abundance of amenities that everyone has noted make this place incredibly... more

If you want to stay away from big hotels, resorts & time shares then the immaculately clean Hali Ike is the place for you. This little house is surrounded with your own tropical garden of palms, banana, fig, avacado trees, orchids and flowers. Your own private garden & only 2 minute walk to Ocean & Heiau. A great central location... more

Mele Mele Cottage was a great place to stay, and it was very comfortable and clean. The cottage came loaded with every amenity you could want. Throughout the week we were there, I kept discovering more things that I've never seen in any other vacation rental -- sharp knives for cutting pineapple, beach chairs and beach towels, soap for the... more

My husband and I just had our best vacation ever! We stayed at Meli Meli Cottage of 17 Palms. It is perfectly situated right off the main highway in Kapaa- central to all of the beaches, activities, restaurants and shopping on the island, while nestled in gorgeous landscape in a little neighborhood that makes it quiet and worlds away from... more

17 Palms is a solid choice for the price. You can't beat it - centrally located in Kapaa, and close to lots of things. The inside of the cottage is meticulous - clean, well stocked. A nearby set of condos/hotel is about to open. So, we probably won't be back... once it's occupied, the noise and number of people will... more

Management response from
palmshi, Owner

We thank our guests for acknowledging all of the wonderfully, positive aspects of how we manage our cottages, the property and how we care for our guests. However, we wish to clarify some of their comments. The “nearby set of condos/hotel” is neither. These are new apartments which are completely separated from 17 Palms Kauai. There is a very large,...

I spent 16 nights in the Hale Iki Cottage at 17 Palms Kauai. I cannot imagine that you will find a more relaxing and private cottage especially for the price/value. It does not get any better. You can walk to the beach in a minute and are a five minute walk to about 5-7 outstanding restaurants for lunch and dinner.... more

Our stay in the one bedroom cottage was fantastic. The tropical growth around the cottages makes for great privacy in this residential area. Very clean and nicely furnished with all amenities. As others have said, great central location on the island to get around to all the key spots. Close enough to walk to several stores and restaurants, and much... more

We stayed in Hale Iki for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. A/C is in the bedroom only, but we never used it. The house was well-kept and spotless. Assorted condiments, jams, etc. in the fridge and pantry were a plus. Wireless internet came in handy. If you arrive at night, be sure to get really good directions. An... more

We have had two wonderful stays at the 17 Palms cottages (once in each cottage). Our visit this summer was equal to our previous stay in terms of comfort, relaxation and feeling like our hosts recognize the importance of making everything easy for their guests. Meli Meli was clean, roomy and generally perfect! We hope to get back again sooner... more
