Testimonials
“The cottage was exactly what we expected. Extremely convenient to Hanalei Beach and town. Amenities were great. Host even called when a tsunami warning went out to ensure our safety”
Ryan, July 2025
★★★★★
“We had a lovely stay at the Palaka cottage. Waking up with kids, going on the lanai for breakfast, and walking to the beach were a joy. The space was perfect, the amenities were fantastic, and the outdoor shower turned out to be clutch especially showering off the littles after a day at the beach.”
Andrej, May 2025
★★★★★
“This was an amazing place to stay! Definitely top of our list next time we stay on the North shore! It really did feel like home and we often found ourselves relaxing at the cottage after a long day of hiking or at the beach.”
Brendan, 2025
★★★★★
“The Palaka Cottage is really lovely, with old school Hawaiian charm. The location is hard to beat and the place comes with everything you need for a great day out at the beach. Would absolutely stay again.”
Ben, February 2025
★★★★★
“For us, the cottage was perfect in every way. We like to keep our time on the north shore simple. We rented bikes and only used the car for specific outings. We walked the beach, swam the ocean, used the outdoor shower, and lived on the lanai except when we were in the gardens. The cottage is lovely and equipped with everything we needed. Mahalo Kauai, for allowing us to share in your island life for a time.”
Sally, January 2025

“Close to the Hanalei pier, beach and town. Fantastic location. This is a perfect rental for relaxation.”
Teby, December 2024
★★★★★
“Hanalei was the perfect pace for us. Everything was beautiful and exotic. The Palaka cottage was in a perfect location for walking to the beach, walking into town for meals or a shave ice. The cottage was very private and provided an amazing get away location!”
Paul, July 2024
★★★★★
“We've stayed at four different places in Hanalei over the last few years and this one was our favorite. We loved the porch, which made even rainy days relaxing! We ate meals outside on the dining table and spent hours reading out on the outdoor couch. Loved having the yard, lounge chairs and outdoor shower. Less than 5 minute walk to beach and about 15 minute walk to all the shops and restaurants you need. We hope to stay here again!”
Mary, May 2024

“Quiet, clean, comfortable, nice yard, very quick walk to the beach, well equipped, thoughtful amenities and more. But what really stood out, head and shoulders above any other home rental we've had, was the clear and responsive communication from Joanne at Kauai Island Vacations. We had all the information we needed early on, full and complete communication. We appreciated their emphasis on environmental concerns. One other example: on a morning with heavier than usual rain, just minutes after we received a weather alert on our phones about possible flooding, Joanne wrote us an email with more information, web links, etc.”
Henry & Claudia, 9/22
★★★★★
“Palaka Cottage is our heaven on earth. We have stayed here twice, extending it much longer the second time. We love the authentic Hawaiian feel of the plantation cottage. It feels like a home away from home with all the amenities you need. The decor is relaxing, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked to cook your meals. The outdoor shower is great after a sandy day at the beach, and the lanai is a perfect spot to unwind. The location is unbeatable since it is right across the street from the most beautiful beach in the world, and close to Hanalei town. It's also helpful to have a property manager that made everything seamless for us. A hui hou!”

“My wife and I recently spent three nights at the Palaka Cottage on our first visit to the Hanalei area. It is about as in town as you can get, and the location on Weke Road is one street off the bay. We enjoyed the view of the bay from the front lanai in the morning & evening. It is a short drive to the restaurants along Kuhio Hwy, a little further to the area beaches & hiking trails. It has everything you need, including a full kitchen, washer and dryer, cable TV and wireless internet. Joanne was a pleasure to work with and answered all of our questions. If you are looking for an alternative to the big resort experience, this is the place for you.”

“Wow!! My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and couldn't have asked for a better place! It's even cuter/better than the pictures make it out to be! The location is perfect (you can walk to the beach/pier and into town); the house is clean, charming, beachy; and we even had some peaks of the ocean from the lanai (which has a wonderful couch and table to enjoy). Oh and the outdoor shower is such a treat! Can't wait to go back!!”

“Palaka cottage was an ideal location. Cottage layout was quaint and a bit bigger than expected. Joanne was a wonderful host who offered important suggestions about the area and who helped with special requests for my father. Porch was sublime place to gather at sunset.”

“The cottage was great. The location is a short walk from the pier and a maybe ten minute walk to town. The house had everything we needed and had a lot of outdoor spaces to enjoy after a day at the beach.”

“Fabulous, quaint, historic cottage, with modern amenities. 1 block from Hanalei's Black Pot Beach Pier, with mountain and slight ocean views. Made us feel like we stepped back in Hawaiian time. Convenient to all Hanalei and North Shore activities.”

“Dear Joanne and the Kauai Island Vacations Team! Thank you so much for the fabulous service you provided us for our rental of the Palaka House. We loved the house. It was perfect in every way - location, cleanliness, amenities. This is our second stay at the property and each time we are reminded that we should come back more often. We look forward to our next stay!”

“My husband and I so enjoyed staying at the Palaka cottage. What a charming place. We enjoyed sitting outside on the lanei hearing the ocean waves. The cottage had everything we needed and was so relaxing. We can't wait to book again one day.”

“We had such an amazing stay at the Palaka cottage. The location was AMAZING and the cottage was perfect for our little family. Loved cooking in the well stocked kitchen and eating out on the porch. We also loved the outdoor shower! We highly recommend this cottage and will be back!”
