We stayed in the Wild Orchid Cottage for 4 nights. Its all in all an ok place, but don`t expect anything special-its all rather simple. There is no dishwasher, so you have to do all the dishes by hand if you cook. Room was clean, but the bathroom needs a general cleaning, especially because the blinds had mold on it and looked very old and dirty.
There is no ocean view- and beaches are not even within walking distance! The "backyard" is super small, but has had a nice big grill.
Our main problem was the bed. Its matress felt like lying in a hammock and we tossed and turned during the night.
If you are easy with beds and don^t have a back problem and you are not looking for a luxurious accomodation, then this is right for you. If you are looking for something romantic and special, like for a honeymoon, definetely choose another place.

We were surprised by this review as we honestly have not received any other complaints on the bed. The current guest told us that the bed was fine and everything was great. Comfort and cleanliness are our greatest concern…and we are always happy to replace things as needed. We value guest feedback and would have liked to have the opportunity to make things better for this guest or find them another accommodation…but this guest never notified us during their stay.
We are located right next to Koloa Landing Cove in Poipu and there are beaches in both directions within a short walking distance…from 2 blocks to ¾ mile. We never promote our cottages as ocean view and we’re not sure why this guest was mistaken about that.
In 13 years of business out niche has been Honeymoon & anniversary guests who want a Tropical, Romantic Beach Cottage feel…not a typical condo or luxury hotel. We have had lots of very happy guests, lots of return guests and referrals who enjoy our cottages and the location.
