About this house rental
Summary:
Anini is the kind of North Shore beach where an early towel run can become the whole morning. From this cottage, private beach access is 85 steps away, putting a quiet swim, reef viewing, or a sandy reset unusually close to home. The one-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home sleeps four and pairs a kitchen, wet bar, ceiling fans, and outdoor seating with rainforest and garden surroundings. Bring the kids' beach gear, use the Pack 'n Play, then return for a barbecue while the day winds down. Kilauea is handy for provisions, while Princeville and Hanalei make easy outings when you want a change of scene. Please note this vacation home is located in the tsunami evacuation zone. This is a lovely fit for a small family or couple who wants Anini Beach woven into each day.
The Space:
This one-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath cottage sleeps four and is arranged for an easy, low-key beach stay. The kitchen and wet bar make snacks and simple meals straightforward, while ceiling fans, a separate sitting area, and doors to the outdoor spaces help the home feel connected to its rainforest setting. A private entrance, patio or balcony, and laundry add practical breathing room between beach outings.
Guest Access:
Guests at this Anini Ohana Hale enjoy beach access just steps from Anini Beach in Kilauea, plus a garden view backyard and patio or balcony for outdoor relaxing. A private entrance with a lit path at night adds ease, and accessible features like a height bed and toilet support varied needs.
The Neighborhood:
Anini sits on Kauai's North Shore, where the day starts quietly and the scenery does most of the talking. The nearby shoreline is the reason to stay here: beach access is 85 steps from the cottage, making it realistic to go back and forth without loading the car. Kilauea offers nearby basics, while Princeville has shops and dining and Hanalei is a worthwhile outing for its bay, town, and mountain backdrop. Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is another memorable North Shore stop for lighthouse and seabird views.
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:
Please note this vacation home is located in the tsunami evacuation zone. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations. Registration: TVNC 4255. 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.

Love the place, ideal location, very sweet and well-appointed. I gave a less-than-perfect overall rating because communication with the property management company was sub-par, days delayed and largely unresponsive. For the money, communication with the property management should be more responsive.

This is where my wife and I stayed while exploring the North shore portion of our trip to Kaua’i. I would say this shore is a little slower pace and less congested than the other areas we stayed. It’s kind a short drive to do anything except visit Anini beach which is a very short walk from this property.This is what I would almost call a guest house on this property, the main house is just a short 25 feet away, and is also available on VRBO. Awesome if you have multiple parties wanting to stay together, not so much if just the two of you are looking for privacy. The property is great, was very clean, and was probably my favorite place we stayed on the island. You get to see (and hear) chickens everywhere, but here we also saw pigs traveling through the back yard area, and had a few lizard visitors inside.

We are a family of four with young kiddos and this place worked great for our stay. We always had hot water in bath and showers, which was great. The house location near the beach is amazing and the beach is beautiful. The beds and pillows are comfy. We had access to washer and dryer. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking essentials. We also enjoyed watching the birds in the backyard and loved seeing the geckos around.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Fantastic location across street from Anini beach. Very private and secluded residential area. Stayed in the smaller back house which had a nice semi-private back garden area with lots of plants and chickens. The condition of the property was poor. Mold on ceiling is unacceptable. Furniture was stained and uncomfortable. Listing photos seem to be a mix from the front and back house which is misleading if staying in one. The property has great potential but needs some serious TLC.
