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.

Great place and hosts! Nothing better than being on the beach when the surf is good. Easy access to everything!

If you want indulgent luxury, stay at 1 Hotel on Hanalei Bay, but you will get no taste of local life. Indeed, you could have a similar experience on the mainland. If you want very well-appointed, comfortable accommodations in a nice neighborhood, right on the beach, this is the place.
We were return guests and our experience was even better the second time around. Our hosts strike the perfect balance between warm friendliness (you are a guest on their estate) and respect for privacy.
Do yourself a favor and stay for at least a full week. You will be glad you did.

We've traveled extensively during our lives, and stayed in a wide range of accommodations from spartan to flagrantly ostentatious. That being said, I can say that for us, this is quite probably the most beautiful location, and one of the most comfortable properties we've ever had the privilege of inhabiting. Hanalei village and bay are far more beautiful and welcoming than any photo could convey; it is simply an idyllic world unto itself... a lifestyle and pace we should all be so fortunate to experience. The beachfront property surpassed our expectations from the moment we arrived; clean, comfortable, spacious... Moments through the front door, my wife paused, "This feels like home..." She spoke for us all. A one minute walk to the beach, a 5 minute walk to the heart of the village, postcard worthy weather daily, and some of the most reviered, unsullied landscapes left on our overpopulated world. Kim and Smoky Bayless have opened up a gateway to a place that truly is like no other...We chatted with Kim a number of times; she was easygoing, effortlessly engaging, and full of helpful tips and suggestions; the standard bearer of "ideal host." We will most definitely return. If you're traveling to Hawaii, skip the touristy kitsch; THIS is the place that will calm your heart and rejuvenate your weary soul...

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!

There’s no better location or setting for a stay in Kauai. Access to the best beach on the island. The property is in perfect condition and the hosts were welcoming and generous. Loved our stay

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.

This was our first trip to Kauai, and for us a preferable alternative to staying in a hotel in Princeville. Plus we had friends staying just down the street. The rental cottage is part of a family compound, located behind a volcanic rock masonry wall, a coded entry gate, all with great mountain views, and steps to the Hanalei beach on a path adjacent the main house (which is on the beach). The cottage has a washer & dryer in the attached garage, a well equipped kitchen, large fridge, screened in lanai, an outdoor shower, and is about a four minute walk to town where there are several great spots to eat, plus a grocery store. We pretty much just parked our rental car, and just waked everywhere. The thought and detail of the owner in the selection of finishes, and the utility of the floor plan part of a recent remodel is very evident. Everything is well maintained, and the grounds and setting are beautiful.

We're return visitors to Smoky & Kim's cottage, and we hope to be regulars. This is the best location on Hanalei Bay - direct access to the beach, 3 blocks to town, near the pavilion but cut off from noise or traffic distractions. The cottage is lovely, well stocked, and a comfortable screened patio for reading, relaxing, and meals. Full size washer & dryer, beautiful outdoor shower that we used exclusively, all the accessories you could want. Smoky & Kim are committed to making their guests feel pampered and spoiled. This truly is paradise.

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!

It is difficult to describe Paradise Lost and found. Perhaps it is much like returning to one’s elementary school days and finding your long lost treasured keepsake safely tucked away in the lost and found box under the Principal’s office counter. This place is pure comfort, both in the beauty of the grounds and the livability of the cottage. Great location. Great hosts. Great found treasure.
If you’re looking for a place that has everything, you’ve found it. Steps from the ocean and steps from Hanalei Town as well, this place can’t be beat. The home is beautifully appointed and stocked. It is also very clean. While it doesn’t face the ocean, the yard is gorgeous and very “Hawaiian” in nature. As other reviews have stated, the outdoor shower is a must. Smoky and Kim are lovely hosts who care very much about making your stay the best it can be. Look no further for the best accommodation on Hanalei Bay.
