We have visited Kauai several times and were thrilled to introduce our 8 and 6 year old kiddos to one of our favorite places. This property is in a perfect location on the frontage road to the waterfront, just a very short walk to the Hanalei pier and a comfortable walk to Hanalei town. The yard is lovely and relaxing, with a fantastic front porch that includes a nice peek at the water. The cottage had everything we needed. We loved the historic charm and decor, and really appreciated the air conditioning during the hottest part of the day! We loved having geckos as housemates and enjoyed playing peek-a-boo with these curious creatures. The outdoor shower is magical and I highly encourage that you use it exclusively - the mountain view and birdsong are positively dreamy. Book it!

This property is conveniently located between two beach access points. The house is lovely, with a host of amenities. We found everything we needed at the house, the grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. We strongly recommend this property.

Really sweet place, 2 bedroom, great for 2 couples. Nice lanai and yard. I really liked the outdoor shower. We didn’t do much cooking, so I can’t comment on the kitchen set up. Air conditioners worked great in the living in bedroom areas. We weren’t in the mood to cook. However, if you were, you might need potholders. Serious cooks might find the kitchen wanting. But we weren’t there to cook. Overall, we really loved it and would rent it again.

The location cannot be beat. You can watch sunsets from front porch or take a 2-3 stroll over to Hanalei Bay to enjoy the beach. The cottage has unique design features and is well equipped. For some it might be a downside but we found it charming…bugs, spider webs, and geckos were our roommates. You are indeed in a lush tropical environment after all.

We loved our stay at the Palaka Cottage. The location is perfect as it’s walking distance to all beaches on Hanalei Bay and the shops and restaurants in town. The cottage is very comfortable with everything we needed for a cozy beach vacation. We loved sitting on the front porch every morning and evening. This place is so special!

Palaka cottage was an ideal location. Cottage layout was quaint and a bit bigger than expected. Joanne was a wonderful host who offered important suggestions about the area and who helped with special requests for my father. Porch was sublime place to gather at sunset. Access to beach now requires walking to pier or pavilion but still quite convenient

Wow!! My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a better place! It’s even cuter/better than the pictures make it out to be! The location is perfect (you can walk to the beach/pier and into town); the house is clean, charming, beachy; and we even had some peaks of the ocean from the lanai (which has a wonderful couch and table to enjoy). Oh and the outdoor shower is such a treat! Can’t wait to go back!!
