From the bed to the recliners, this cottage is one of the most comfortable places we’ve ever stayed. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed, no rice cooker though. Plenty of space and so peaceful. There is a rip tide that you need to be aware of. The beach is beautiful and we really enjoyed snorkeling around the big rocks and fishing. It’s nice that a landline is provided as our cell service wasn’t great. We’d love to come back and stay more than a week. It’s our new favorite place!

This home is secluded on the end of a quiet road with the beach in the front yard. The sounds of the surf, the crowing roosters and the household kitty all enhanced the charm of our stay.

The property is stunning! Secluded but also good beach access A lot of good information from the host. The only problem we encountered was the non working oven. With everything else so carefully explained, it would have been nice to have a heads up about that. Thanks to Suzi for answering me quickly once I questioned it!

This house was a perfect place to chill, or spend time on the beach across the road, and a fabulous base of operations for our island adventures! Previous guests have left a lovely assortment of spices and condiments, and we contributed so check the fridge before you buy salad dressing or mayo. The local farmers markets are a great way to stock up on fresh produce. Make sure you snorkel down at the park, there are tons of turtles there!

The place was great. Quiet and had everything I needed for some alone time. Just a short walk from the beach. Centrally located for my needs with groceries and restaurants close by. I would easily stay here again.

We had a great time. We were able to seethe ocean thru the living room window and it was about a 3 minute walk to the beach. Snorkeling in the cove we saw a variety of fish and a sea turtle. Bit of a bumpy unpaved road the last 1/4 mile to the driveway entrance

This location could not be more perfect! Suzi was so helpful and responsive throughout our stay. Although, we didn’t really need to communicate much because everything was so terrific. The islands experienced a pretty big storm that caused power outages, but the house was equipped with flashlights and Suzi checked up on us to make sure we were OK. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. The beach is glorious. This was a perfect couples getaway with very few people, which made it easy to disconnect and fully enjoy our vacation! We will most certainly be staying again!

This house and its location are amazing. It is perfect for a couple’s retreat with everything we needed for a stay in paradise. Communication with the hosts was fast and flawless, and instructions and access were simple. The house comes with towels, beach chairs, beach mats, coolers, and a kitchen with new appliances. We appreciated the hose for rinsing our stuff, too.we could not have had a better spot to call home for 10 days. The house is not fancy - it has an old Hawaii feel - so if you’re looking for a super modern condo experience with AC and a hot tub (did not appeal to us in this climate lol) this might not be the place for you. Also be aware that as of now the last stretch of road before the driveway is extremely rutted - we really put our poor little rental car to the test. If you arrive in the dark or during/after rain, drive REALLY CAREFULLY & SLOWLY - no joke. But we figured it out!We are so grateful for our time in Kauai and that we got to spend it staying in this special place.

I've been coming to Kaua'i for 30 years. I used to hitchhike my way around the sleepy island, and getting down to Wanini was always a challenge but worth the trip... Truly sacred land, and to be staying directly across from where I proposed to my wife last year was particularly serendipitous. The furnishings and provisions were dated and scant, but the stay was comfortable and whatever it may seem lacking on the inside, the view and location are simply stunning. PLEASE don't come if you don't respect and appreciate the history and culture of this place. It is truly special and deserves REVERENCE. Maholo nui loa for the stay, and God willing... A hui hou.

If you want a getaway where you can spend all day at the beach right outside and truly feel away from it all, this is your place. Decent snorkeling right out front in protected shallow water (you do have to go out pretty far, but it felt very safe in summer), basic nice accommodations including a nice kitchen and outdoor area, but above all privacy, beauty, and steps from the ocean. We enjoyed the wildlife - lizards, frogs, roosters, crabs, community cats - the beach, the jungle, the trees, the views, and the occasional tropical rain. The only slight note is that there is no AC, but just ceiling fans and some box fans. In late August this meant a few hot, sticky humid nights, but honestly if they put in AC it would probably make this rental out of our price range. The history of this family property is also a huge plus - I feel so good that we found this and we will definitely come here again.

Great place to stay on the beach. Great snorkeling in the Summer. The wooden interior and Hawaiian decor are very homey and comfortable. We would stay here again and suggest it to anyone who enjoys spending their time on the beach.

We arrived after dark after a long day of travel, and we weren't even sure we had the right place until the combination on the lockbox worked, LOL, but once we stepped into the house we felt any stress melt away. The spaciousness and vibe of the place with the pine paneling reminded me of cabins I grew up with back home in the Adirondacks, and I instantly felt at peace. When we woke up in the morning and could see the view of Anini beach, We knew we had chosen the perfect home for our 25th anniversary trip. The cottage has TONS of space for a one bedroom, and the kitchen is fully appointed for anyone who wants to cook up a beautiful island meal. (I love to cook, and my first reaction was, "Oh, I could cook in this kitchen.") This stretch of Anini Beach is quiet, calm, and shallow. At low tide you could easily walk out 100 yards or more if you wished. We saw several turtles in the shallows while walking the 2 mile beach. The location on the North Shore is ideal, with easy access to Kilauea, the magical town of Hanalei, and the end of the road beaches and parks. We didn't explore Princeville or south to Poipu, because that would involve crowds of people, and this cottage is PERFECT if you wish to have privacy and just enjoy the company you came with. As you make your final approach on Anini Road, remember you didn't come to Kauai for the infrastructure. ;) If we're ever lucky enough to return to Kauai, I wouldn't hesitate to rent "our" cottage again. Mahalo!

The house had everything we needed and more. It was clean, nicely decorated, just what I pictured a Hawaiian home would look like. Checking in and out was seamless. Having an ocean in front of you and a forest behind you is priceless. My husband and I came to Hawaii to celebrate our 30th anniversary. This house was perfect for that. We hope to come back. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Mahalo

This property was absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful view out the living room windows. Spacious kitchen (but we didn’t cook lol), nice bathroom, great bedroom with very comfortable bed. We love the lanai with chaise lounges with a great view of the ocean. The ocean/beach was so close and absolutely gorgeous. I truly couldn’t have found a better place! Communicating with the owner was very easy! We were not really close to anything but we found we loved the drive to Hanalei and Princeville. There was so much to do and great places to eat. Even when we drove to the other places on the island it wasn’t a bad drive and was so pretty it didn’t matter how long it took. We did have a great deal of rain (wettest spring in years!) but we absolutely had the best time! We cannot wait to come back!

Nestled on the North Shore of Kauai, located just across the road from Anini Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches on the island, this home offered unparalleled access to serene beauty and endless ocean activities. The calm waters, protected by the outer reef, provided snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and lazy walks along the beach. The tranquility of the beach, especially during the weekdays, was soothing to the soul. There were moments when it felt as if the beach was ours alone. The adventurous path leading up to the Princeville resort area and the Westin provides a great early-morning coffee spot. Just remember, take it slow, you're on vacation. Hanalei town, is a 20-minute drive, offering a quaint and fun scene if the mood strikes for exploring. What truly set this home apart was its privacy and the palpable sense of quiet it offered. The property, well-kept, homey, and providing everything you need for a comfortable stay, felt like a secluded haven amidst the lush Kauai landscape. The ocean views from the front window, and the breezes were peaceful and relaxing. The sense of calm and privacy it provided made our vacation truly relaxing, allowing us to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When you forget what day it is, you know you're truly on vacation. For anyone seeking a memorable escape to Kauai, this is a great place to stay.

From the amazing view from the porch, the quick walk to the beach this place is just amazing. Such a lovely and inviting space to stay. The owner is just a delight and was among the best I have ever encountered in my years of renting. Don’t hesitate just book it.

This homey little cottage offers impressive natural beauty, surrounded by lush greenery and a stunning ocean view. The beautiful clear water across the road offers amazing snorkeling opportunities around the reef. New appliances made cooking a breeze, the kitchen was well equipped, the couch and bed were very comfortable. It is a little oasis off the beaten path. However there are some downsides. Unfortunately, that path is lined with homeless people, abandoned cars and is extremely bumpy. In addition the beach draws people at all hours playing music and shining lights into the bedroom. The property to the left has loud 4 wheel drive vehicles that drive past the property constantly and starts their lawn care very early in the mornings. The rustic nature of the cottage brings with it spiders, gnats, mosquitos, geckos, feral cats and chickens. Would we go back, ABSOLUTELY! It was a great way to experience Hawai’i for the first time.

Very nice, well taken care of comfortable home. We had a great time. Everything that we needed was at the home. It was wonderful to grab a cup of coffee, walk down the lawn and sit on a the quiet beach watching the turtles. The road is as described getting to the property. But wasn’t that much of an inconvenience. We hope to stay here again!

Suzi and Bob have really got the spot. The house is just steps from the beach and near the end of the road making it feel peaceful and far from loads of tourists. Suzi also checked in to make sure everything was working as it should and gave us a ton of food recommendations. Hukilau in Kapaa was incredible - thanks Suzi! We will definitely be back!
