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.

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.

Great small house on beach and 1 block from town

Smoky and Kim were fantastic hosts; attentive, thoughtful, helpful and welcoming while affording us privacy. The house is extremely well maintained and appointed. My wife is extremely particular about cleanliness and this more than passed her test. We would gladly return.

Dreamy vacation & endless beach vibes

This trip far exceeded our expectations. We knew it would be special from all the positive reviews but from the moment we walked in we felt happy and we were home. Even before that from the booking to planning process Smoky was awesome! When we got there Kim welcomed us and made sure we had what we needed. The location is incredible and just a day home and I can’t stop thinking about the quiet nights and the sounds of the waves and occasional rain. My son when we left said this isn’t gooodbye cause I know we will be back. Don’t hesitate to book this amazing spot - you will not regret it!

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!

A gem in Hanalei

Smoky and Kim's cottage is a gem in Hanalei Bay! The location is excellent. It is close to the beach and a short walk to town. The cottage was very clean and included amenities that made our stay comfortable. My kids loved the outdoor shower! It was a perfect location for my family to stay during our Kauai vacation.

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!
