About this cottage rental

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.

Absolutely amazing! Kim and Smoky are the greatest hosts. The house was so clean and perfect. The location was as good as it gets. Definitely coming back next year!! Thanks to them so much for having us.

My family had the most amazing time at this cottage. The owners were very communicative and responsive to anything we needed, which wasn’t much. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was very clean. It was lovely to be steps from the beach and a few blocks from everything in town. Not only do we enjoy our days on the beach, but also the sunset walks, and also the nighttime sky. We’ve usually stayed in condos around the Princeville area, but staying on the beach on Hannalei Bay was a dream come true! Thanks Kim and Smoky, for sharing you’re beautiful property with us!

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

Beautiful property located on beachfront lot about 150 feet from the beach. Nicely appointed with all necessary amenities. Owners were available throughout stay to insure we were comfortable. All in all a good vacation.

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

We have been coming to Hanalei for 40 years and now we found the perfect place to stay. All of the reviews are spot on in describing the amenities and ambience of the cottage. Location, location, location and the best hosts ever. We'll be back.

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.

Really excellent place to stay. Kim and Smoky were superb hosts.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

Great

Our hosts made us feel right at home in their quiet and secluded guest house. The property is perfectly located as it is: 1) right on the beach at Hanalei Bay, one of the most gorgeous spots on one of the most gorgeous islands, and 2) a very short walk from "downtown" Hanalei, with its shops, markets, and restaurants. Recommendation: book at least a week. Heavenly!

10.0 / 10.0

This Hanalei bay beach front cottage is truly magnificent! Kim and Smoky are so welcoming and have truly thought of everything visitors might need or want when coming to north shore Kauai/Hanalei for a relaxing, comfortable, fun, truly ideal vacation. Steps away from beautiful Hanalei bay, this cottage is simply magical. Complete with an outdoor shower~w/hot water! ~ it was the only one my husband and I used the entire 9 days. Thank you so much, Kim and Smoky, for sharing your oasis. We will most definitely be back! Until then, much aloha to you. Mahalo! With gratitude, Katherine & Alaric

Our family had the most wonderful time staying in your cottage in Hanalei. It was so easy to get back and forth from the beach. We ventured out of Hanalei a few times, but we always wondered why we had. You have everything right there! We hope to visit again soon.

From the minute we were booking our stay Smoky and Kim were incredibly easy to communicate with. The cottage was in an absolutely perfect location and also very private. It has easy access to the beach and also to all of the shops and restaurants of Hanalei. It was the most user friendly rental we have ever had the privilege of staying in by far. It has everything you need for your stay and is incredibly clean and very updated. We loved everything about this cottage and look forward to staying there again in the future!!

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!

We were looking for something special for our 20th wedding anniversary/vow renewal. This was perfect! Comfortable, private, well ventilated, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Special touches all through. Gorgeous landscaping in the yard and a less than 2 minute walk out to Hanalei Bay. 5 stars all the way!!

Our family of four stayed at Smoky and Kim's Hanalei guest cottage for four nights. The accommodations are superb. The cottage itself is spotless, comfortable and well-stocked. It was a perfect size for a family of four. The exterior shower is awesome., and was used every day. The highlight of this property, however, is its beautiful setting. Direct and private access to Hanalei Bay, and 2+miles of jaw-dropping shoreline. Words can't adequately convey the idyllic vibe of Smoky and Kim's cottage. Easily ranks as one of the most amazing vacation rentals our family has stayed in.

We travel somewhere in the world as a family every year and this is our favorite thus far. Location, location, location says it all about this place. Kim and Smoky were excellent hosts too. Would recommend a stay here to anyone.

Kim was a wonderful host. My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this property and felt extremely welcome the entirety of our stay. The property has perfect access to the town of Hanalei and has beach access from the property. We will definitely be returning here when we make our next trip back to Kauai!

Great host. They provided everything needed for a great beach vacation. Cottage is well maintained and appointed. Just need to show up. Beautiful garden setting. Stones throw from the beach and a short stroll to Hanalei. With the popularity of the Hanalei beach be prepared for bit of traffic on the road in front of the cottage.

Watch the Kauai scenes from The Descendants starring George Clooney and it will convey the exact atmosphere you will enjoy at this property (except the shenanigans). It is all sensational. One of us did not use the indoor shower because the outdoor shower is wonderful and would like to build one at home, but the other one of us believes Colorado is too cold for that. We will definitely be back. Pro tip: make dinner reservations before you arrive — a couple of the best restaurants book a month out now! Smoky and Kim are terrific hosts. The house itself is super clean and has everything you can imagine needing. In addition, it is very very private and secure. Thank you for a great experience.

What a wonderful homey place, very nicely refurbished and has everything you need. We felt like part of the family. Smoky and Kim were welcoming from the first moment and so respectful of our privacy. We loved the proximity to the beach (best beach I think) and enjoyed floating on Hanalei bay with the noodles provided. We walked to town for dinner, enjoyed various farmers markets (best papaya I ever had) and fell into a relaxed pace for the week. We look forward to coming back.

What a gem the Cottage in Hanalei is! Steps from the amazing beach at Hanalei Bay and just blocks to town, the location can’t be beat. Smoky and Kim have created a perfect set up for guests. Everything we needed was provided. This trip was one of our favorites ever!
