We absolutely loved this property not just its great location, but the original feel of the plantation house. We loved even during the typical rain that comes through the house still was dry and cozy. The outdoor shower was secluded.

The Plantation Cottage was great! This cottage is well taken care of and very clean. We loved the privacy and the close proximity to the beach. The sunrise from the porch was great in the mornings. The bed was very comfortable. We have stayed on the north shore multiple times and this is our new favorite. We would love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Plantation Cottage in Hanalei. The property is very well maintained and it’s very quiet and private. We loved that it’s walking distance to both town and the beach. Thanks for a great stay.

Very happy to see the house is both maintained in good condition, kitchen equipped well, but still with the "old Hawaii" style. Only negatives are the laborers woring next door, a cockroach, and the sofa's weakening webbing making it less than comfortable. Will look forward to visiting again.

We had a wonderful time staying in the little cottage just across the road from Hanalei Beach and within walking distance to all the restaurants and shops. It is an old structure, but so too is Hanalei--that's part of its charm, so it fits in well. It is hidden down a driveway and behind another property, so private and quiet, but with plenty of outdoor space. We were very happy to be staying there, quiet and peaceful. And it grew on us, the longer we stayed.

Unfortunately we were there when the property next door was being remodeled, interior and exterior and landscape. We booked a ten day stay which included 1 weekend (when the remodeling work was not happening) so we had a total of 2 quiet days to relax, hear the wind and waves...very disappointing!Years ago we had stayed here and it was fabulous. The interior and furnishing are very old and used and could certainly use an update. Kitchen knives were useless, old, not sharpened and dirty. The knife "block" was pretty disgusting. A hard plastic chopping block would have been nice to have. Some simple tupper ware containers of various sizes would been nice to store uneaten meals or food. The bathroom sink did not drain well and the living room was not lit well and difficult to read abook in durin.g the evening

Our trip to Hanalei was elevated by staying at the Plantation Cottage. Tucked in a secluded driveway off Weke Rd. next to the beaches Hanalei Bay, the cottage is situated in a large, private landscaped lawn, giving us ample space to unwind, relax and simply be without intrusion. Entering the cottage, we were greeted with an open-air design with lots of screened windows to allow sunshine and breeze into the interior. The living room featured comfortable bamboo furniture and the bedroom was well-apportioned with a cozy California-king sized bed. On the spacious lanai, outfitted with an oversized futon and fans overhead, we enjoyed breakfast of local coffee, granola and fresh fruit. After breakfast, we gathered up beach towels, straw mats, and folding chairs, all supplied with the property. We were happy to have options to choose between walkable beaches, as the cottage is located between the pier and beach park, both with the best swimming spots in the bay. After sunning and swimming, we retired back to the lanai for afternoon drinks and snacks of fresh poke and sushi from the Dolphin Fish Market. In the evening we utilized the charcoal grill for fresh ahi and mahi mahi, cooked in banana leaves for an extra island taste factor, and fresh local produce for dinner. During our stay, we recommended the place to dear friends who also enjoy a slow pace and tranquility when traveling for pleasure. We are grateful for the communication and responsiveness of the kind staff at Napali Properties, who exemplify the aloha spirit. We look forward to booking with them again as we plan our next stay at the Plantation Cottage.

The cottage was in a good location, close to the town of Hanalei. I had neglected to look at the fact that there's no AC or heat/cooling pumps, just fans and screened windows. Hence we suffered a bit from the heat, but overall this cottage has a lot going for it.
There was some construction noise as early as 7am from 2 neighboring properties, but this won't always be the case.

We spent a week in this house and it was wonderful. Super clean, comfortable and peaceful. First time in Hawaii and it felt very authentic. 5min walk from the beach but you can hear the waves crashing from the property. Highly recommend - would stay there again.

We love Plantation Cottage as a private and quiet hideaway yet so close to the beach and Hanalei town; simple "old style" Hawaii accommodations at their relaxing best. Na Pali Properties goes out of their way to make our stay pleasant. We hope to go back for our fifth stay at Plantation Cottage before too very long.

We have stayed in many rentals along Weke Road and Plantation Cottage has become one of our favorites. The beach is a block away thru the pavilion, an easy walk - frankly not much further than the walk to the ocean from some of the larger houses on the beach side of the road that are set a long way back from the waves. The cottage does not have a view from inside, with hedges on all sides around the very large grassy area, but that also means it is isolated from any noise in other houses or from traffic on Weke Road - quiet and private! It's an easy walk to town. The cottage is well maintained and stocked, with a particularly lovable covered lanai with a bed converted into a comfy place for afternoon naps (or even sleeping outside on warm nights), plus chairs and small tables outside for lazy afternoons. The wifi has been upgraded to a high speed connection. The bedroom is more spacious than other 1 or 2 br units along Weke Road. The kitchen and living room are a single large area; everything worked in the kitchen, with nothing missing that we noticed. A lovely place to stay in Hanalei!

Darling, peaceful cottage on very large private lot across from beach. Perfect for a romantic getaway! Of note- we did leave our snacks on the counter that invited the sugar ants. We kept them at bay by cleaning the counter daily and moving the snacks.

My husband and I went to Kauai 5 years ago for his birthday and stayed in Princeville. We spent a day in Hanalei and absolutely fell in love. We knew when we returned we wanted to stay in the bay, close to the beach. This location is a short walk to the pier or another near by public beach access, and a short 10 minute walk into town! It is perfect for walking off a Pokè lunch or dinner from one of the many amazing restaurants in Hanalei. The house has lots of amenities; a Brita for refilling your water, beach towels, washer and dryer (came in handy after our Kalalau Trail hike!) and our favorite ... the outdoor shower. This was a life changing vacation home experience and we can’t wait to return to this perfect house!

We've been traveling to Kauai multiple times a year for a decade. We wanted to spend a week right off of the beach in the sleepy little walkable town of Hanalei. There are very few vacation properties in Hanalei for a couple to rent and we felt that we scored on this little cottage. Upon checking in we discovered a very dated kitchen and bathroom. This would be FINE had we not paid a crazy premium to stay in Hanalei. We saw cockroaches almost daily in the kitchen which caused us to wash each dish before using it. We decided not to cook any food as a result. Not our first time at the island bug rodeo but I also expect a home of this price to have figured out how to keep the roaches out. The kitchen was dated and certainly did not make cooking very desirable. The bathroom shower hosted a centipede/scolopendra so we chose to use the outdoor shower instead. The next door neighbors partied every night at the Plantation until after midnight each night.. the sounds of bass bumping each night vs the sounds of ocean waves breaking as we hoped. I could have called to complain during our trip but we were doing our best to avoid confrontation and put out that energy. Upon our return, I followed up via phone and email to Na Pali Properties to discuss our trip and to give some advice for this unit and never heard back. I also discovered after we returned that there was an optional trip cancellation fee that we paid and we certainly would not have paid this fee had I realized it. One last thing - there is no immediate beach access from this unit. You have to walk 5 mins down the road to the park to enter the beach. We ended up still driving there because of beach chairs, cooler, etc. Overall it was fine. Was it worth the money - absolutely not.

Our trip was fabulous! Only shortfall was the lack of recycling capacity. We suspected something when the black recycling container was super full, like numerous previous tenants failed to empty the recycling. Turns out there is no black recycling container at all. No evidence of recycling trash pickup on the entire street. Landlords please correct this major discrepancy in the listing and inquire with the State of Hawaii regarding the current recycling capacity. Thanks, very awesome vacation in this terrific location and spectacular living area on the island of Kauaii

This place is lovely and so much fun to have a quiet little hide out in the middle of the playground that is Hanalei! Na Pali Properties were great to work with. My only watch-out is that wifi is silly slow, to the point that we had to use our phones as a hot spot. We had debated making this a working trip, rather than vacay only, so it wasn't really a problem for us, but it would be for someone looking for a remote work option.

This cottage is ideally located in Hanalei. Easy walk to the beach and easy walk to town for coffee/restaurants. This is tucked away behind another house that makes the entire property your private secluded hideaway. The views of the green mountains from the living space are amazing. Na'Pali Properties was excellent to deal with from start to finish. Excellent communication, easy access, and friendly staff. Looking forward to returning to this spot on a regular basis!

Classic Hawaiian bungalow, with a 2 minute walk to what I think is the greatest beach in the world. The property is surrounded by lush greenery and far enough away from any neighbors that you'll never see anyone from your property. It sits right next to the historic Wilcox house making it even quieter and exclusive. Huge porch that even has an outdoor bed if you wanted to sleep outside breathing in the delicious Hawaiian air. The house came complete with everything you would need to make any size meal; stove, microwave, utensils etc. And everything was super clean too. Thank you for making this available at such a good price!!!
