About this property

Cottage on Beachfront Estate property, central Hanalei Bay

This amazing and completely refurbished home is situated on a stunningly beautiful one-acre, gated OCEANFRONT estate property, right in the middle of magical Hanalei Bay. It is, in fact, one of the ONLY vacation rental cottages on beachfront property to be found anywhere on central Hanalei Bay. Air conditioning has been provided in both bedrooms for extra comfort. Private, direct access to the beach, which is only 150 feet from your doorstep. Hanalei Town is less than two blocks away- an easy walk for dining and shopping. Also enjoy spectacular views of our beautiful mountains from the cottage living area and screened-in patio. World-famous North Shore Napali Coast hiking trails are accessed 15 minutes from Hanalei. Boat and Kayak excursions also depart right from the Bay.

*If your preferred booking dates do not appear to be available for our property, please simply send us an inquiry so that we might forward to you the availability calendar. For some reason, VRBO has recently removed the property availability calendars from every owners' listing pages on their platform.

As with all beachfront properties on Kauai, this house is located in a tsunami evacuation zone. Please see detailed evacuation information located inside the door of the cottage.

Truly amazing stay in paradise. The cottage was spotless, kitchen had everything we could want plus a great water filtration system so no need to get bottled water. Outdoor shower was fantastic, we never used the inside one. Everything we wanted for a beach day was provided. The owners Smoky and Kim were gracious and kind, true ambassadors of the aloha spirit. It is hard to convey how incredible it is to get to stay in this stunning location, not worry about parking, and just be surrounded by the mesmerizing views from Hanalei Bay. We are very grateful that Smoky and Kim have made this available for others to experience a week in paradise as we did. Mahalo...

Everything was lovely about the location and the host, however it was not clear to me that this is a guest cottage of a large house sitting right in front of the cottage. You walk by the residents when you goto the beach and back, and that yard is not really usable unless you want to do so while people are sitting on the porch in front of you.But great location and great solution for parking, as long as you are ok with the lack of privacy.

Wonderful cottage, perfect beach, and cozy community. The cottage is perfect for 4, quiet and clean, and appointed with nearly everything you could want or need for a great vacation. Ideally located steps from a perfect beach and within a few blocks walking distance to shops and restaurants. Smoky and Kim were wonderful and generous hosts. Such a magical place.

My family had the most amazing time at this cottage. The owners were very communicative and responsive to anything we needed, which wasn’t much. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was very clean. It was lovely to be steps from the beach and a few blocks from everything in town. Not only do we enjoy our days on the beach, but also the sunset walks, and also the nighttime sky. We’ve usually stayed in condos around the Princeville area, but staying on the beach on Hannalei Bay was a dream come true! Thanks Kim and Smoky, for sharing you’re beautiful property with us!

Magical Hanalei

We have stayed in Kauai many times before, but always in a condo or resort. I cannot stress enough how much better this was, walking distance to both downtown and 150 feet to the beach. Cannot wait to come back!

Hanalei Cottage

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It's in a great location just down the street from the town of Hanalei and right next to the Hanalei Bay beach. The cottage was very clean and full of features to make our stay very comfortable. The outside shower was a big hit too! We hope to stay again in the future. A big mahalo to Kim and Smoky for making this special property available for rental!
