North Shore Kauai Heaven

The cottages are quaint and perfect for 2-4 depending on 1 or 2 bedrooms. The cottages are large enough for a quiet get-a-way. The location is perfect for beach walking and snorkeling. Some of the clearest waters on calm days. The new owners are going to renovate and we are looking forward to some comfort changes. One of our favorite places to stay in our retirement. This is our second time at the Hale Makai Cottages and we love the vibe and beach.

Amazing!

Aloha! Ok— so I don’t want to share this review because I don’t want to share this place and keep it all to myself. However, the right thing to do is to be honest and let you know this is the perfect location for a true getaway on the best side of the island. We loved it and will definitely be coming back. The team managing the property is friendly and responsive. We grilled out while we were there and had fresh fish from the Dolphin which is a fantastic fish market right down the road. LOVED this place!

Honeymoon Stay

My wife and I stayed in cottage #1 for our honeymoon. We had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend this place. Pros: 30-second walk to a very private beach, hammock right out front, spacious, huge tub, parking spot, nice porch and outside table for meals, grassy yard, secluded but the neighboring cottages provide a sense of safety and community The less-than-perfects: the space heats up quickly -- especially with no AC -- there is a ceiling fan in the bedroom and dining area, and a box fan provided, leaving the windows open helps as well, but the heat inside is not ideal

Wonderful place - right next to the beach. Everything you need - won’t want to leave! Favorite part was the backyard and huge soaking tub.

A perfect honeymoon!

We loved staying here on the beach for our December honeymoon. The cabin was a great size and had lots of extras, including snorkel gear and beach shoes. The host was great with accommodating us access to do laundry. There's 5 cabins on the property, but you don't hear much from the other families -- the sound of the waves is what you hear most.

Secluded and relaxing

A terrific property on the North Shore. It's about a 15 minute drive from Hanalei and in a pretty secluded area. Walk right down to the beach, which is also a nice snorkeling spot. Next door is a small hotel/resort with a restaurant. There are a few other cottages on the property, and you'll be seeing the other guests and depending on which, you'll walk through their back yards to get to the beach. Cottage was nicely done, with a full kitchen (fridge/coffee maker/dishwasher/etc.).

Beachfront getaway

Great spot to relax and enjoy the beach and lovely property. The cottage was nicely decorated, clean and well stocked. Loved the location, very quiet and private and convenient for exploring the hiking trails in the area.

Gorgeous!

The location of this property is hands down amazing! Hardest part is just trips to the store (~20 mins), with a bit of planning NO BIG deal! Walk to the beach, snorkeling, hands down amazing!!

I knew it was going to be beautiful... never expected SO MUCH! They call Kawaii the Garden Island; I would call it the Magic Island, reinforced by the cottage location and its wonderful vibes. The Cottages are away from the most touristy areas and yet close to everything I love. They have the privacy and peacefulness I needed, they are right by the ocean to swim, snorkel and go for as long walks by the beach that you wish and close to one of the most amazing hikes I´ve ever done. We had the most beautiful 6 days, every day sunny - which they told me was rare. Being right by the ocean, we went to the beach every day - and night!! Perfect spot for star gazing! I drew in the energy of the ocean and the wind, walked for short and long hours, opened to a whole unexpected universe while snorkeling just by the shore, indulged in the peacefulness of floating held by the ocean... The cottages are AMAZING: impeccably clean, with all the comfort and equipment you need, very comfortable beds, decorated with an amazing taste, great shower, wonderful decks, great hammocks and garden. Reading on those hammocks under the shade of the palm trees was a treat. I was warmed by the care of the owner who while we were there cared for an endangered monk seal on the beach by surrounding it with CAUTION ribbons so no one would bother it until it decided to go back to the ocean after its rest. And so he did :-). The hike to the Falls and by the ocean was a lifetime and most beautiful hike. The cottages are near famous beaches, gardens and small picturesque towns with great dining. But I preferred the tranquility of our own beach by far!!! I couldn´t recommend this place more nor better. It was a treat to my body and soul. Thank you to everyone that made this place possible and what it is!!! I will be back!!! :-)
