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.

Love, Love, Love

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!

All the Comforts of Home

The house was clean, and well appointed; everything that you could possibly want was there. Staying in this beautiful house, just a short stroll to the beach, and in walking distance to shopping for groceries, fresh seafood, restaurants, farmer's market, etc., what more could you possibly want?

Perfect location, wonderful cottage!

We loved everything about this cottage! The lush gardens, lanai /front porch, and most especially the location. A short walk takes you to the beach or in to the sweet town of Hanalei. Hanalei Bay has a wonderful beach, ideal for long walks, surfing, swimming, and evening sunsets. The beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler were much appreciated! The cottage is quaint and spacious, perfectly maintained. We took advantage of the close proximity to hike the Kalalau Trail in Ha'ena State Park. Waimea Canyon is spectacular and definitely well worth the drive, as is Polihale State Park. We happened upon the charming town of Hanapepe on one of our return trips. We were happy to have had plenty of days to explore the island as well as relax in Hanalei. We are grateful for our time spent at your lovely property, thank you Elayne and Hilary!

Loved this house

We loved this little house. GREAT location and so cute. Everything was clean and the owner and property manager were super responsive. The beds were comfortable, the property was quiet, the house was well stocked and just two blocks from town. Super cozy, wished we had a lot longer to stay...

Wonderful stay at Elayne's cottage

Elayne's cottage was perfect for our week stay in Hanalei. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There were three of us (2 adults + 1 child)-- we enjoyed how spacious the cottage was. We cooked many meals at the house and enjoyed eating on the porch every morning and evening. The neighborhood was quiet at night and we enjoyed the sound of the birds singing in the morning. I highly recommend Elayne's cottage.

Lovely Hanalei cottage

Nice spacious cottage near beach with beautiful view of mountains. Great porch for meals, reading, coffee and waiting out the rain. Close to shops and restaurants. We rented surfboard and surfed or swam most mornings then went off on other adventures. This was the perfect home base for us. Easy to make meals in well-stocked kitchen. Laundry facilities a bonus. Notes not related to the house, but good to know for tourists: We really wanted to hike part of the Kalalau trail but didn’t make reservations far enough in advance. Make these before you arrive. Also, Waimea Canyon is amazing and well worth the trip across the island. Lastly, don’t miss the Kilauea Lighthouse Wildlife Refuge (reservation needed)!

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.
