Nicely situated in Quiet North Shore Neighborhood

The cottage In Hanalei was ideal for our recent North Shore stay, located in a quiet neighborhood— but easily walkable to beach and restaurants/shops. The kitchen and laundry were nice amenities also. Highly recommended for a tranquil getaway.

Perfect, bright oasis in paradise

Absolutely loved staying here, for many reasons. 1. Location is perfect. Very short walks to town and the beach. 2. Clean and spacious living space with helpful amenities, beautiful outside space, on a quiet cul-de-sac. 3. Good, pleasant communication and easy check-in. Hanalei is the most wonderful place on earth, and for that reason it can be hard to find a truly great, well-located place to stay. We wanted for nothing here. This place is a true gem. We'll return again and again.

Fabulous Stay!

Appreciated all of the details to make this stay homey and comfortable. Spacious and well appointed cottage, super comfortable for my husband and I and our adult daughter. A short walk to both town and the beach. The property manager was easily reachable when we needed to track down a beach umbrella and extra chair. Beautiful spot, peaceful and picturesque.

Fabulous Hanalei Cottage

This was our second time to Kauai and our first time staying at the cottage. Absolutely fabulous! Walking distance to town and beach. Very clean, well stocked kitchen as well as beach chairs, umbrella, towels, etc. We enjoyed sitting on the covered porch eating breakfast and drinking our morning coffee. The grounds were lovely as was the interior decor. We definitely recommend to others and we hope to be back soon!

Wonderful spot in Hanalie

This is a lovely, two bedroom two bath cottage tucked into a tidy neighborhood just three blocks away from town and two blocks to the beach. The kitchen was well outfitted and the furniture was comfortable. There was plenty of beach toys, snorkel gear, chairs, and towels.

Fabulous Hanalei retreat

What a wonderful property!My wife and I along with our 20-something son stayed in the cottage while our son and daughter-in-law stayed with her sister's family of 5 in the main house.The property was pristine and in a great location near beach and town.Best part was the courtyard and decks were great places for the kids to roam. The kitchen was fully stocked with essentials and the entire place was in great condition.Having beach toys and a washer-dryer was the icing on the cake.Thank you to the owners for sharing your special place with guests.Mahalo.

The cottage was perfect for the two of us. We were concerned about no air but had no issue at this time of year sleeping. We so enjoyed the proximity to the beach and town and use of the chairs and boogie boards. We will be back to this gem of a cottage.

Lovely Cottage

We had a lovely 10-day stay at this cottage, located just a short walk from our favorite beach, Hanalei Bay. The house was very nicely decorated, clean and well-maintained. Communication with the owner and the local housekeeper was easy when we had a minor issue with an alarm that we couldn't identify (it was the fridge left ajar).I would definitely try to book this property again.

Gem in Hanalei

Ileina's Cottage was the PERFECT home base to explore Hanalei - and this has been my favorite VRBO during all of my visits to Kauai, by far. My adult daughter and I appreciated how close we were to all the Hanalei restaurants and shops, while also being within walking distance to the beach. The cottage was clean and well-stocked, and the owner and on-island contact were both so kind and extremely responsive. The cottage stays nice and cool with all the windows and fans, so future guests shouldn't be concerned about not having AC. I highly recommend staying here - you won't be disappointed!
