Cottage vacation rentals in Hanalei

Our stay at this Airbnb was wonderful! What a beautiful hidden gem in the mountains to spend part of our honeymoon. You get a very local experience staying here, which is what my husband and I wanted. The house is in a residential area, so there are neighboring homes but you don’t really notice they are there. Jeffery, our host, gave us great recommendations for places to go in the north shore of the island and we truly enjoyed our stay here!

This was our second stay in Belinda’s condo at Hanalei Bay Resort. The views are unbeatable and the condo has been nicely updated. It’s perfect for our family. We can’t wait to come back again!

We had a relaxing and fun week at Bruce’s place. The home was tucked into a private glade with lots of birds and an occasional chicken. There were plenty of windows and screens in the cabin to let in sunlight and cool breezes, as well as an outdoor front deck (and grill) where we made several meals. We had coffee in the hot tub some mornings and took outdoor showers every day. It was conveniently located near gorgeous beaches and a river where we surfed on boogie boards, ate lunch and read over several days. It was also close to several very good restaurants and an amazing bakery. We rented bikes, hiked the challenging Na Pali Trail and took a Zodiac boat ride to see the mountains in Western Kauai. During the stay, Bruce was responsive and helpful to several questions we had. We also took advantage of his farm tour, which was fascinating and gave us a window into the world of organic farming. Though we had to decline, we even got invited to play in the weekly softball game at

Aloha! Staying at Ellen’s Beach Place in Kapa‘a was like stepping into our own private slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warm spirit of aloha, and the magic of Kaua‘i embraced us completely. 🌴✨ The location? ‘Ano‘ai ke aloha! (Absolutely amazing!) Just steps from the sparkling ocean, we woke up to the gentle sound of waves and enjoyed the most stunning sunrises right from the lanai. The hale (house) was immaculate, thoughtfully designed, and filled with everything we needed to feel at home. Ellen even left some local goodies to welcome us – such a thoughtful touch! 🌺🍍 Mahalo nui loa, Ellen, for sharing your incredible hale and your warm aloha with us! We will absolutely be back to your beautiful beach haven. If you’re considering booking this spot, don’t hesitate – it’s truly a kauhale (home) that captures the heart of Kaua‘i.

We loved our stay at Miguel's place -- the location is perfect, and we felt very comfortable throughout our visit. The cottage is perfect for 2 people and is a very peaceful retreat. We didn't cook at the cottage but the kitchen seemed pretty well-stocked. We would love to stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay at EJ's. We felt super comfortable and right at home. We had everything needed to cook and go to the beach. The outdoor patio was excellent and had a BBQ! There was an AC unit but we loved the natural ocean breeze. Baby beach was nearby and the neirghbourhood is beautiful. Shops and good food nearby. EJ was super nice and responsive. We will definetly stay again when we come back!

Private area, great place to stay. We were there are New Years and there were a ton of fire works to hear, would need to drive or walk around the neighborhood to see clearly since the place is on the lower end of the hill/neighborhood, but super chill place. Definitely quiet area, so not a place of you’re looking to be social. Enjoyed the star gazing and pigs/chicken neighbors as well. 🌺

This place was exactly as described, tucked in the back of a planned community. Very quiet and peaceful. Kitchen was feasible to cook your own meals. Good shower, ease of parking.

Cozy cottage in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to a nice beach that was great for walking and sunset viewing. Great location for exploring Waimea Canyon and South / West shore. Cottage had ample space for family of 4 - lanais on 3 sides with glass doors for light and fresh air. Host was welcoming, responsive and provided great local recommendations for activities and dining.

This house was spacious and comfortable for our family of 4. It's a great place to stay if you like the north side of the island. Thanks for hosting us!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. We normally stay down at Poipu, but wanted to change things up a bit this year. Ahlea’s condo is so nicely appointed. We spent so much of our time just sitting outside, reading, and relaxing. We never needed to use the air conditioner, and it was so perfect listening to the waves all night. It’s an easy walk to several great restaurants Would not hesitate to book again!

As advertised. Charming cottage in the perfect location in Poipu. Small but clean and airy. All sorts of supplies, spices, kitchen and beach gadgets. Furnishings not expensive but Linens, sheets and bedding were very nice. The landscaping and flowers were over the top. Owner communicates well and there were no problems

Really enjoyed the beach and area. The accommodations were great for three of us, plenty of space.

We had a wonderful experience staying here with our family. This place was magical, and the views were amazing!!! The host was very responsive and very kind. We will definitely be back here soon.

The location of this home was among the most idyllic I’ve ever experienced. Within walking distance of our favorite beach on the island, and with a beautiful lanai abutting conservation land, our group enjoyed this home very much. The hosts were responsive and helpful. I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Kauai.
