Jean Burns-Faye Cottage
4,300 sq. ft. / 10 Guests
Jean Burns-Faye Cottage is a 4,300-square-foot oceanfront cottage at Waimea Plantation Cottages, set within the resort’s historic 43-acre grounds along a black-sand beach. With Pacific Ocean views and room for up to 10 guests, it offers a spacious setting for families, friends or gathering groups who want the privacy of a heritage plantation cottage on Kauai’s west side. This five-bedroom cottage has 4.5 bathrooms, giving larger parties room to settle in comfortably. Like the restored plantation-era cottages throughout the resort, it includes a full kitchen, living area and private lanai, so guests can share meals, relax indoors and enjoy the open-air rhythm of cottage living. Free Wi-Fi is available in the cottage, and free self-parking is provided directly outside for added ease throughout the stay. Waimea Plantation Cottages is not an all-inclusive resort, but guests enjoy a relaxed, self-contained experience with useful inclusions across the property. The mandatory daily resort fee covers access to the oceanfront outdoor pool, beach access, beach loungers and towels, housekeeping, in-room coffee and safe, internet access, laundry facilities, lending library access, newspaper, business center/computer access and parking. The resort also offers hammocks, shuffleboard, sand volleyball, propane double-barbeque grill stations, board games, free DVDs for in-cottage viewing and complimentary guest laundry. For casual meals, Chicken in a Barrel BBQ serves breakfast, lunch and dinner on site, with American fare, pizza and BBQ available before returning to the comfort of your cottage.

Jean Burns-Faye Cottage FAQs
What does the view look like from Jean Burns-Faye Cottage, and is it worth the space?
The cottage sits oceanfront on Waimea’s black-sand beach, with Pacific views right from the private lanai. Many guests use the lanai in the evening to watch the sunset with the island of Niihau visible offshore, which makes the extra space and setting feel worthwhile for groups traveling together.
How are the bedrooms and beds arranged, and how many guests can it comfortably sleep?
Jean Burns-Faye Cottage has five bedrooms with a mix of bed configurations spread across the cottage, comfortably sleeping up to ten guests. It works well for multi-generational families, wedding parties, or several couples traveling together who each want their own room.
Is there a private outdoor space, and how do guests typically use it?
Yes, the cottage has a private lanai off the main living area, in keeping with the plantation-style cottages across the resort. Guests use it for morning coffee, group meals, and simply taking in the ocean air without leaving the cottage.
What are the bathrooms like for a group this size?
The cottage has four and a half bathrooms, which is generous for a party of ten and helps avoid morning bottlenecks that come with a single-bathroom rental. It’s one of the reasons this category suits larger groups better than the resort’s smaller one- or two-bedroom cottages.
How does this cottage compare to the smaller cottages at Waimea Plantation Cottages?
Jean Burns-Faye Cottage is among the largest cottages on property, at 4,300 square feet with five bedrooms and 4.5 baths, compared to the resort’s more modest one- and two-bedroom plantation cottages. It offers a full kitchen and living area at a scale built for reunions, weddings, and multi-family stays rather than a couple’s getaway.
What's included for guests staying in this cottage category?
Like all cottages at the resort, it comes with free Wi-Fi, in-room coffee and a safe, plus the property’s daily resort fee inclusions: oceanfront pool access, beach loungers and towels, housekeeping, laundry facilities, and use of hammocks, shuffleboard, sand volleyball, and the propane grill stations.
Does this cottage suit couples, or is it really built for larger groups?
It’s best suited to families, reunions, and groups booking a wedding or event at Waimea Plantation Cottages, given its five bedrooms and 10-guest capacity. A couple could still enjoy the extra privacy and space, but the size and layout are really designed with a bigger party in mind.
How far is the cottage from the beach, pool, and on-site dining?
The cottage is directly oceanfront, fronting the resort’s black-sand beach, with the oceanfront pool a short walk across the lawn. Chicken in a Barrel BBQ, the on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, is also located on the property.
Is there a quieter side of the resort, and where does this cottage sit?
Being an oceanfront cottage, it sits away from Kaumualii Highway, which runs along the property’s inland edge, so guests get the quieter, beach-facing side of the resort rather than road noise.
What should guests know before booking that isn't obvious from the room description?
Guests should plan to contact the property in advance of arrival to arrange check-in details, since front desk staff greet guests personally rather than offering self check-in. It’s also worth knowing the cottage’s outdoor lanai and grounds are open-air, so families with very young children may want to keep that in mind when settling in.
