Fabulous beach house for a couple
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.

Perfect Hanalei cottage
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

The property could not have been more wonderful! We loved the out door shower and the rooster alarm clock. Generous in space, quiet, you can see and hear the ocean from the fabulous porch. Nothing was wanting!

Just perfect
I cannot think of any negatives of our stay. The cottage was fabulous in every detail, the location, the house it self was meticulously furnished, the huge garden with the barbecue, the outside shower, the easy access to the beach and Hanalei centre, the view... just perfect. It might be a bit pricey, but when you get there you forget it!
