Vacation Rental Details

Welcome to Umetsu Cottage, Hanalei

Nestled in the heart of Hanalei, this one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath cottage captures the essence of a slower, more peaceful Hanalei era—where life moved with the rhythm of the ocean and the mountains framed every moment. Passed down through generations and lovingly cared for as a sister property to the storied Kauikeolani Estate and Palaka Cottage, this home is a true reflection of Hanalei’s timeless charm and family heritage.

The Cottage Experience

This air-conditioned beach cottage has been thoughtfully remodeled to blend the warmth of traditional plantation-style architecture with the comfort of modern living. Every detail evokes the spirit of Old Hawai'i—open beam ceilings, natural wood finishes, and breezy lanais that invite the outdoors in.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious and serene retreat featuring:

A California King bed with premium linens for restful nights
Full kitchen equipped with modern appliances, cookware, and dining essentials
Comfortable living area with WiFi and TV for relaxing evenings
Washer and dryer for convenience during longer stays
Private layout that ensures peace and quiet throughout your visit
Outdoor Living

Step outside to experience the beauty of Hanalei’s natural surroundings. The cottage offers two covered lanais with sweeping mountain views, perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. After a day exploring the North Shore, rinse off in the hot outdoor shower, then unwind under the palms as the sounds of nature fill the air.

The cottage’s location is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in Hanalei’s laid-back lifestyle. You’re just a short walk to Hanalei Bay, one of Hawai'i’s most iconic beaches, and a quick stroll to Hanalei Town, where you’ll find charming shops, local eateries, and farmers markets. Whether you’re surfing, hiking, or simply wandering through town, everything you love about Hanalei is right at your doorstep.

A Legacy of Hanalei

This home is part of a family lineage that has called Hanalei home for generations. Once surrounded by taro fields and the quiet hum of island life, the cottage remains a living tribute to that simpler time. Guests often describe their stay as stepping back into the Hanalei of old—authentic, unhurried, and full of aloha.

This Hanalei cottage is more than a vacation rental—it’s a family heirloom, a sanctuary of comfort, and a genuine piece of Hanalei’s living history. With its blend of modern amenities and nostalgic charm, it offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and experience the heart of Kaua‘i.
