I have stayed at Magic Sunrise three times and would't stay anywhere else. It is so comfortable, welcoming and reasonable in price. I particularly enjoy having such good cooking facilities, and meeting other visitors in the kitchen and when eating on the spacious verandah to share information about the island. The gardens are a delight, especially at dawn and sunset.... More

This was one of the best deals on Hawaii. For a very good price we got a big "bamboo" bedroom with private bathroom. Big living room for all the rooms together and large kitchen, nice garden with great view on mountains and nearby green valey. All rooms nicely decorated and best of all, its so quite up there, no wave... More

We spent two weeks on Kaua'i. A few days camping and the rest at Magic Sunrise. This place is far from perfect but really quite pleasant. There are several different room types suitable for couples on up to large extended families. They all have shared bathes and kitchens. The amenities were basic with no fancy, polished finishes. On the other... More

I've stayed at here many times over the last 10 years and I would thoroughly recommend it. It's very peaceful and quiet, with a totally relaxed atmosphere, and the location is great, convenient for both the beach and up country areas. Plus their rates are very reasonable indeed. I take small Japanese groups to Kauai as part of my work... More

Out of the 2 places we stayed on the island, this place was the most relaxing. Desiree was so easy going and welcoming. Several times she asked us if we needed anything; we didn't. We used the one bedroom apartment. The bedroom was upstairs. Each morning we woke to a beautiful sunrise to view from our bed. We could also... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay : Magic Sunrise was not only a wonderfully quiet base for the slow & gentle relaxation of our Kaua'i trip, but it turned out to be really convenient for our explorations of the wider island. The common area's view over the Wailua gorge towards Mt Wai'ale'ale (we hope we've got those bearings right) was breathtaking... More

We arrived and before my husband could get his shoes off as the sign requested the host was running inside to show us our room in a hurry. After putting our things down we tried closing the curtains to the window that faced the front of the house... But the handmade curtain didn't cover the whole window. I sat down... More

We booked our stay for our honeymoon in Kauai. It was a beautiful property. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. We stayed in the two story cottage. It was perfect. We loved having a kitchen and the view from the back porch and upstairs deck were breathtaking. The loft bedroom was very romantic. It was very lovely and our... More

The grounds at Magic Sunrise are lovely with a fantastic view in the back yard however I considered my stay very impersonal. Desiree met me the first night I arrived and saw her only one other time during my 8 night stay. I felt the ownership to be very unattentive. In the communal kitchen my food items kept disappearing including... More
