Our stay was at the cottage was just what we needed! We actually had booked our full week on Kauai at a South Shore resort - after a few days of poolside resort/touristy feel (continuous music by the pool, etc) we were ready for a change. We checked out of our hotel and moved to the North Shore the very same day! The cottage was perfect - clean and simple. It’s set back so despite having some more cottages right by you, you feel secluded. It was easy to get down to Hanalei, which we did regularly. Small kitchen, but fully stocked! We grilled dinner our first night. They had beach chairs and boogie boards, which were great to take to the beach. The shower in the guest bath was amazing - we skipped using the master. Of note, the king size bed is firm. Still comfortable but good to know if you like a softer bed. The queen was less firm and made a great nap spot. We’ll definitely book again if we come back to Kauai!
