About this house rental
Summary:
Make Anini Beach part of the family routine: a quick walk to the reef-protected water, a long sandy afternoon, then dinner together on the lanai as the North Shore trade winds move through. This remodeled property sits steps from Anini Beach and sleeps up to 10 across two separate homes with two lofts, giving a larger family or friend group a little more room and privacy. The main home has a full kitchen and a vaulted living room, while the second retreat adds a studio-style space, its own full bath, and a kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, and coffee maker. Ocean views, a gas grill, outdoor shower, and washer and dryer make beach days easy to repeat. From here, explore Kilauea Point, drive to Hanalei, or simply stay close to Anini’s gentle shoreline. This is North Shore Kauai for groups who want the ocean to feel like part of home.
The Space:
Remodeled in 2020, the main home has vaulted beam ceilings, a full kitchen with a large island, and a dining room for proper group meals. A separate studio-style retreat brings wall-to-wall windows, a kitchenette with full-size refrigerator, sink, and coffee maker, and its own bath. Two homes, two lofts, six beds, and three baths sleep up to 10, with a shared gas grill and outdoor shower.
Guest Access:
This North Shore Kauai retreat offers a private entrance, garage parking, and a garden or backyard space to relax in. Beach access is just steps away, and a BBQ grill and outdoor seating make it easy to enjoy meals outside. A lit path leads to the door for comfortable arrivals after dark.
The Neighborhood:
Anini Beach is one of Kauai’s most appealing North Shore beaches for families, with a long reef helping to soften the water close to shore. Kilauea town is a short drive for groceries, casual bites, and the farmers market, while Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge offers lighthouse views and seabirds. Hanalei’s shops, restaurants, and bay are farther west along the coast. Choose this side of the island for lush scenery, slower beach days, and a true North Shore pace that encourages everyone to stay a little longer.
Getting Around:
Lihue Airport is about 30 minutes away, a pretty drive along Kauai's north shore. A rental car is recommended to reach nearby beaches like Anini and Kalihiwai, as well as the shops and dining in town. Kilauea's small town center is walkable for coffee, food, and local goods, while groceries and more shopping are a short drive. Parking is usually available on site or curbside.
Other Things to Note:
This home is located in a tsunami zone. Check-in time: 4:00 PM. Check-out time: 10:00 AM. Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. No smoking is permitted anywhere on the premises. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations. Registration: TVNC#4218. Good neighbor policy: this is a residential neighborhood, so please keep noise down between 10:00 p. m. and 8:00 a. m., no parties or commercial events are permitted, park only in the designated spaces, and please treat our neighbors with aloha. Emergency and natural disaster information, including tsunami evacuation routes, is posted inside the home, and we ask every guest to review it on arrival. A local Heavenly Vacations contact is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the length of your stay.

Anini beach was the perfect location for our family’s Kauai vacation, and the house and guesthouse was the perfect accommodation. The house is beautiful and comfortable, and the grounds are lush and green, everything you’d expect from the garden isle. We particularly loved the citrus grove and fresh squeezed orange juice in the mornings. The beach is accessible directly across the street for swimming, snorkeling, and lengthy beach walks. I just wish I had brought my standup paddle board! The only thing wrong with this house is that we couldn’t stay longer. I would definitely come back again :)

This is such a great rental! Perfectly situated on one of the best snorkeling beaches of Kauai—you are literally right across the street! Great beach for kids to swim and play! The house has a great floor plan and the extra cottage was amazing for our parents to have extra privacy and down time. I thoroughly enjoyed waking up early and watching the wild pigs come through the yard and then all the birds waking up with the sun…my morning coffee will never be the same after this house! I will definitely be renting this property again!

We stayed here with 6 adults and 4 kids and the house and mother in law was perfect! We were able to cook family meals and eat out on the patio while enjoying the view. The best thing about this home is the location to the beach - we had two toddlers with us and two teens so we were able to go back and forth to the beach and house with ease! It’s just across the street. The beach was beautiful, not busy, and we saw turtles and fish as we snorkled just off the beach by the house.
As an FYI for future renters - there is only one beach chair - we ended up renting some items through baby quip and rented beach chairs, beach blanket, and a wagon to transport items during our stay. Otherwise, house had all items we needed.
We hope to come back! Thank you for a beautiful week!

My partner and I booked this house for our wedding trip. There was a total of 7 people including us. We stayed in the back guest house and our family stayed in the bigger main house so we could have our privacy. The space of both homes was perfect for everyone. The property is stunning with lush green surrounding it and a huge backyard. There is no AC which I thought might be an issue because my husband and his family are from Texas, run hot and always prefer AC bumping all the time. But the amount of fans and windows in each room and the sliding door in the living room, keeps the air flowing nicely throughout the day and at night it’s surprisingly cool. It reached a high of about 87 everyday we were there to give you an idea. There are tons of windows in all of the bedrooms and if the shutters are open, the air flows in well but make sure they’re open. I will say the upstairs loft isn’t as cool because heat rises and air isn’t flowing as well up there but there are fans and if it were kids staying up there or people who can sleep easily in any condition, probably wouldn’t be a bothered at all. The house is literally a 1min walk across the street to Anini Beach. We would walk over all throughout the day to hang or just take a morning or evening dip. The house comes with beach supplies like floaties and snorkeling gear and also has a convenient faucet at the bottom of the steps of the front door to rinse your feet after going to the beach. It’s located conveniently to all the places we wanted and need to go to. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals everyday. I’d definitely stay here again! This place was the best price for how close it is to the beach and how big and well taken care of it is.
