We absolutely love the location of the cottage! There is easy walking distances to great restaurants, coffee shops, and ice cream. In the other direction in less than a 5 minute walk is the breathtaking Hanalei Bay.
The outdoor seating is wonderful and we especially loved the outdoor shower!

Tutu’s Cottage did not disappoint, clean, comfortable, terrific location.. The beds were super comfortable and there were quantities of towels. The large back yard was secluded, and manicured, with tremendous views of the mountains. I would highly recommend Tutu’s cottage.

We had a wonderful stay at Tutu's cottage. The location is unbeatable, and the house is sweet and comfortable. It was actually bigger than I'd been expecting, and has an incredible yard in front and back, with patios for each where we ate most nights. The outdoor shower looking out on the gorgeous scenery was my favorite part! The house also has all the beach necessities - boogie boards, chairs, a wagon, that were great to have available.

Tutu’s Cottage was perfect!! Amazing location, 5 minute walk to Hanalei Bay, 3 min walk to downtown Hanalei, Tahiti Nui (our favoriterestaurant), Food trucks and multiple restaurants & shops. Loved being able to walk down & grab a coffee, or go to the grocert store if we needed anything. We rented a car to travel the island but having so many places within walking distance was wonderful!
Place was SUPER clean!! I was very impressed. The beds were extremely comfortable, and with fans on at night, we slept comfortably for 2 weeks.
We only showered in the outdoor shower, it was peaceful, private & had beautiful views. My favorite part of the house!
We cooked & grilled multiple nights over our 2 week stay, and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need.
House came with comfortable beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler, buckets/toys & a beach buggy to carry it all, made it a breeze to go to the beach... which we did everyday.
We've been to the North Shore 3x now & would 100% look into booking Tutu’s Cottage for our next stay. Carolyn was so nice & very responsive to all emails & texts.
Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous house Carolyn! We found it VERY hard to leave.

This property was just perfect for us! Adorable cottage walking distance from both downtown Hanalei and the beach (Hanalei Bay). We were so sad to leave! The property is well maintained, and property manager/owner Carolyn is a responsive host. Highly recommend!

We booked this months in advance for our honeymoon! Was excited to show my new wife beautiful Kauai...We stayed on the south shore (in Waimea) for 4 nights, and was planning on staying with Carolyn in her place for 10 nights, but she double booked us. She was nice enough to find us a beautiful ocean view condo in Princeville for 5 nights (for no additional charge). Then we were able to stay in her nice cottage for 5 more nights to conclude our amazing trip. But, you can imagine being on your honeymoon and didn’t know if we had a place to stay for 24 hrs. All in all it was worth it to experience Princeville then hanalai. The things that were a bit of a hassle was: having to print out rental agreement, sign, and then mail to her as well as a personal check rather then just doing it all via email (digital sign) and Credit Card. It did save us money doing it her way, but I almost would rather pay more and not have to have the back and forth correspondence. There we’re also an above average number of signs with rules for her cottage EVERYWHERE in the rental home with STRICT instructions and rules (all was already included in several emails as well, but not where to find the key to get in). We didn’t experience the intenstity of rules at our other places we stayed. Make sure to bring a Bluetooth speaker or CDs if you want to listen to music and knives to cut food if you plan on cooking they are dangerously dull. Carolyn was very sweet and all in all a great stay in Hanalai with a short walk to the beach and even shorter walk to town. Quiet and beautiful back yard and where we bbq’d and did yoga. The road is quit busy with cars, gardeners and walkers though, just a heads up. But we came back to LA feeling refreshed and happy with aloha spirit! Mahalo!

"Tutu's Cottage" was exactly as described: Cozy, "homey" cottage, close to the village and the bay. The cottage is very comfortably, but not extravagantly, furnished, with beautiful hardwood flooring inside and out, and attractive landscaping around the whole house that give it privacy. Wonderful outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and saltwater. Everything was in excellent condition upon arrival, and Carolyn (the owner) was a pleasure to deal with. I would happily recommend it to anyone.

Cute cottage in a fantastic location. A short walk to many food and shopping options and a few minutes to one of the most beautiful bays in the world. We'll be making our fourth trip to the cottage in a few weeks and couldn't be happier.

We have stayed here five or six times. This is a great place to stay. It is well maintained, and in a great location. You can easily walk to the beach, the store, and to several restaurants. There is a nice front yard, with a great porch, with chairs, a table, and ceiling fans. There is a large rear yard that also has a wonderful porch, with a table and chairs. A covered carport keeps your car cool and clean.
