This beach cottage was the perfect stay for the perfect vacation. The home is comfortable and ideal for a couple or a family with young children. The location is unbeatable - just half a block away from the Pavilion entrance to Hanalei Bay beach. It was so easy to grab our beach gear and walk over to find a nice sandy spot. The home comes with a boogie board and some snorkel masks, but if you want something more you are only a few minutes walk to rental shops. Restaurants and a grocery store are also a few minutes walk. We took advantage of the kitchen and fridge to keep breakfast items which we enjoyed every morning on the lanai. The home has a coffee maker too but you have to supply your own coffee. There are three fans in the home to keep things cool, but I did not see an AC ( but didn't feel it was necessary either). There are also tons of towels which are great in a beach setting. The washer and dryer were super convenient too and it allowed us to pack fewer things to begin with. The bedroom area has a comfy queen bed and a single which was perfect for our family of three. But the day bed/couches in the living room can easily sleep another two people. If you have kids who like to run around, the yard is fenced but it doesn't keep the roving chickens from entering. We didn't mind at all - it was all part of the charm provided by this ideal setting.
