SPEND THE SUMMER in what was once part of the Mabel Dodge Luhan estate. This 3000 square foot Casa is truly extraordinary. Once the home of iconoclast Victor Higgins and the gathering place of such artistic and intellectual greats as Ansel Adams, Thomas and Dorothy Benrimo, and Rebecca James, it is now registered as an historic landmark.

The unique light upon the Old Morada seen from her guest room inspired Georgia O'Keefe to paint her famous cross series. Another guest, D.H. Lawrence, was impelled to embellish one of the antique interior doors with delightful gold leaf patterns. The main house of this remarkable property is available for your Taos holiday.

We also love hosting well behaved dogs, so no need to leave your best friend out of the festivities!

  • We had a great time! Beautiful setting, adequate space for our family of 4. Good location for getting both north and south along the shore. Kilauea has some Yummy restaurants - don't miss the fish market - and the lighthouse is worth a visit.

  • We stayed at this sweet cottage for a week, and had a super time. It's a perfect place for the non-resort experience. That means: parents sleeping downstairs, 2 kids in the loft above. Single bathroom, no problem. Chickens crowing at all hours, barely audible over the breeze of fans. Modest half-outdoor kitchen, very charming. And also: beautiful huge rustic yard of grass and coconut palms. Nice jog to the utterly unspoiled, gorgeous beach. Come back, and squeeze half a glass of juice from each orange on the tree nearest the kitchen. The yard guy cut us coconut meat. Jessica (host) and Melody (caretaker neighbor) both very friendly. Unless you're looking for something very different, you'll love this place.

  • What a lovely cottage! Nice location, easy to head north to Hanalei or south to Kapa'a or Poipu. Simple and comfortable furnishings. Nice grounds, and close to a beautiful (if windy and not swim-able) beach. We had a wonderful stay. As another reviewer mentioned, it can be tricky to find. I would call Jessica prior to arrival to get the arrival details sorted. We just kind of showed up at night, and had to cross our fingers we were walking in to the right cottage (which we did...phew!). Overall, this is a fantastic base camp for exploring Kauai.

  • We stayed here for part of our honeymoon. It is a beautiful space and it felt like paradise. We never met Jessica because she was on vacation but she called us and gave her cell phone number in case we needed anything. A neighbor that helps with the property met us with her dog and she was as sweet as can be. We had fresh fruit from the property and permission to get coconuts. We enjoyed eating outside and looking at the coconut palms and seeing the stars. This was a great place!

  • The cottage was a perfect getaway for me traveling alone... quiet and serene.. found a lot of inspiration and beauty.. would also be a beautiful getaway for a couple or family... Jessica was friendly and helpful, easy to talk too...

  • We stayed at the Coco Moon with our two children, five and three years-old. We enjoyed the cottage very much. It was very quiet and private. We enjoyed being able to cook meals in the little kitchen on the Lanai. Our three year old especially liked taking baths in the giant tub and our son liked climbing the ladder to the loft bed. Mahalo.

    We loved waking up to the view out the kitchen screen! The cocoanut grove and flowers are beautiful. We had many interesting talks and meals with the neighbors and even had a little campfire under the stars. The location was perfect - away from the crowds in the North and South of the island. This cottage is perfect for 2 and we found it very clean. We would love to stay again. Thank you! Pam Hellmann

  • Coco Moon is a piece of paradise set against the beautiful, desolate Larsen's Beach. My family and I went to celebrate my 30th and it was more than I had ever expected from this holiday! Each morning we'd rise to the rooster's crow, to listen to the palms sway, as the lovely island breeze supported the various birds to sing their sweet melodies:)The location is absolutely phenomenal and the house is more than accommodating. The road to the property is stunning and the Molo'a fruit stand, off the highway, is one of the best on the island, as is the beach (in relation to its proximity to the house). We explored all sides of the island and feel grateful to have ended up in Kilauea and even more so, to stay at Coco Moon! Thank you Jessica for creating a space for all to enjoy and to Melody for taking such wonderful care of the propert(website hidden)i hou:)

  • The cottage was in the perfect location for a restful and easy stay on Kauai. It looked exactly like it does on the Airbnb posting. It had everything we needed, got a courtesy check in call shortly after arriving. Had lots of beach toys, and plenty of linens. Very clean and tidy. It was the perfect spot for four night stay. Thank you!!

  • We (me and two friends) spent a great time (about a week) at this house. The proximity to the beach, the birds in the morning, the whole location which was not too far away from other houses, the road, etc. but which was also remotely enough toactually experience the nature of the island. Additionally there was a breathtaking view (pacific to the left, coconut trees to the right), while the house itself was decorated with so much love and taste – you actually felt that somebody left you a home. Not only just a place to make some money with.
