We loved everything about this cottage! The lush gardens, lanai /front porch, and most especially the location. A short walk takes you to the beach or in to the sweet town of Hanalei. Hanalei Bay has a wonderful beach, ideal for long walks, surfing, swimming, and evening sunsets. The beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler were much appreciated! The cottage is quaint and spacious, perfectly maintained. We took advantage of the close proximity to hike the Kalalau Trail in Ha'ena State Park. Waimea Canyon is spectacular and definitely well worth the drive, as is Polihale State Park. We happened upon the charming town of Hanapepe on one of our return trips. We were happy to have had plenty of days to explore the island as well as relax in Hanalei. We are grateful for our time spent at your lovely property, thank you Elayne and Hilary!
