Umetsu Cottage Reviews

Really enjoyed walk-in to the beach from the house and being near enough to walk to shops and restaurants. Town has everything needed for a stay. Having air conditioning and fans was a bonus. Property well supplied with towels. Basic condiments helped. Fridge had water dispenser. Basic toiletries and hairdryer also available.

We had a lot of rain but the Lanai was heaven and access to the beach was close. The cottage could not have been any cuter. The kitchen counter space is limited but it just was a matter of getting used to. We can’t wait to return.

Quiet and beautiful. Just what we needed. My only complaint would be about the "presents" the neighbors dog left us right where we parked.

You can’t ask for anything better. Hawaiian cottage steps from the best beach on Kauai & Hanalei - non tourist town. Laid back - friendly - 5 Stars

This was our 7th trip to Kauai and the 4th time we’ve stayed in Hanalei - and Umetsu was definitely the best! Great location - just a short walk to the ocean, in a very quiet neighbourhood and on a large plot; very spacious for the two of us and very well appointed. The AC (which we only used in the bedroom at night) was also so welcome, and the house is so well laid out, it was never needed in the lounge and kitchen with the doors open at both ends; loved the huge deck as well

Hard to even put into words how great the Umetsu Cottage is. Perfect location and old Hawai’i charm, with the best Lanai on the bay.

This house is perfect for two people! The location is perfect-walking distance to the beach and into town. We stay here anytime we come to Kauai! Wish we could live there! Many happy memories each time we stay! Looking forward to coming back here soon!
