This rustic beach cottage was just what we we’re looking for in our stay on Kauai. Whale watching daily off the lanai while we drank our coffee each morning. Beach access just a short walk down the road and a great place to adventure around the island for all our exploring. The host was excellent to work with! We’ve referred the cottage to a couple we met at the airport who we’re looking for a reasonable place to stay on their next visit. We’ll definitely come back!

Looks much better than the photos online! Amazing property right on the water. Would stay again.

Right on the water with great views. Easy for visiting North Shore beaches and shops.

Relaxing wonderful stay. Can’t wait for next year!

Lovely porch to watch the sun rise, nice outdoor shower and space for 4.

We are so thankful to have been able to stay in the green house. It has such a great "homey feel" and is very accommodating. Mahalo to Al! He is an amazing host and our stay was absolutely perfect. We look forward to returning one day in the future!

Just as shown. A clean and very well-appointed "original Hawaiian" beach house. Right on the water with no shoreline (a wall), but a small beach next door. Full length back deck to enjoy the amazing water and coastal views, and is where we spent most daylight hours. Quiet neighborhood, well away from traffic and noise. Nice star-gazing when it wasn't cloudy. Very comfortable king bed and washer/dryer were a plus, as was the extra outdoor shower and sink for easy clean-up. Enjoyed having a kitchen, fenced yard and covered parking as well. Having no a/c was okay, due to open windows and coastal breezes (but the windows need to be closed when it rains or whenever you leave, and it can get warm). Every thoughtful amenity is provided for a lovely, peaceful and restorative stay. It is not fancy, and the wind and water have taken their toll (especially on the outside), but it was "a-okay" for us. Al is great to work with and very responsive with any request or concern. We hope to return!

Wonderful property, directly on the sea wall with a small beach directly to the south of it. It is a nice beach cottage, kitchen and bathroom is updated, additional outdoor shower and toilet room is very convenient when enjoying time at the adjacent beach. Wonderful covered porch facing the water. I was concerned the property was older and outdated by the photos but it is not, it’s in wonderful shape. Enjoy relaxing in the shade of the lounge chaise on the porch or take a beach chair and towel out! Lots of neat fish to catch, we also saw folks out snorkeling.

I came here many times when my parents rented the property. It was wonderful to revisit and brought back great memories.

Everything about this stay was perfect! Thank you for a pleasant stay!

From booking, to getting the key to the beach house…. We felt the abundant Aloha! Not our first stay visiting the island of Kauai, but most definitely one of our favorites and the first to be greeted with and blessed by pure Aloha. Grateful. Mahalo Al, and wonderful Carolyn! Thank you for sharing you and your home!

This was our second stay at Al’s property, and I’m already trying to figure out when we can come for another visit. The home is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located for exploring the north and east sides of Kauai. The view cannot be beat, and having access to the ocean just steps from the house is pretty spectacular. I would recommend staying here to anyone who is looking for a quiet, low key getaway.

The four of us loved the central location to all the activities available on Kauai. The beachfront location has sunrise and a sky full of stars at night to enjoy from the large deck. Easy access and great parking help make this home a very special place.

If you’re looking for a nice place with a beautiful ocean view with sunrises and cool ocean breeze in the evenings, this is the place! You can snorkel right in front of the home! Al was very quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing home in a very quiet neighborhood. My family and I were so happy so stay here for our vacation. The house comfortably fit my family of four, and was well furnished and stocked. The house also had a beautiful view accessible small sandy beach right on the side of the house. There is no air conditioning, so the house gets hot while you are away, but as soon as you open up the windows the house quickly cools down with the cool ocean breeze. I have to say it was amazing waking up and falling asleep you the sound of the ocean from right outside the windows. Al was very communicative even prior to our trip, and offered a few tips on the day that we arrived. We have definitely recommended this place to several people! Thank you for a great getaway!

We stayed here for three days in mid-June. Central east location with easy access to north and south shore sites. House is private and nearby beaches are uncrowded. Beach in front of the house was calm in the morning with good snorkeling. We found it to be better than Anini beach. House was clean and well-appointed. Especially appreciated the outside sink and clothes line for rinsing and hanging beach wear. Comfortable beds! Cool ocean breezes kept the house temperature comfortable. Smooth check-in/out process with experienced host. Book this place if you're looking for a quiet escape from the crowds or a peaceful home base to return to after a day of exploring. You won't be disappointed. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a super tranquil getaway. The checkin process was super easy. You have this whole cottage to yourself. I woke up to early am sunrise and soaking up the private beach to ourselves. The neighborhood is quiet on the east side, fairly quick drive to the north side attractions. AL went about and beyond with accommodating us and being prompt with requests. Would highly recommend his place for a quiet beach get away

We have stayed here before fun times great place Al is a great host we love this place.

The house was comfortable with 2 twin, 1 queen, and 1 split king bed. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some meals. The best part was the large ocean front deck where we could eat ore just sit and watch the many colors of the ocean as it the light changed.

I found this property to be clean and comfortable…my friend wanted to find a way to pack the mattress topper to take home. The lanai is the best place to start and end your day!

Al was a great host. Property was as described. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the Lanai each day. Enjoyed the nice beach in front of the house and listening to the ocean was very relaxing each evening. The location was very central and perfect for all the exploring that you need to do on the island. Steve and Jody

Al is great and his place is just as good. Our favorite area on our favorite island. What you see if what you get and we had a great visit. Mahalo

We had another wonderful stay at this property. Location can't be beat! Will be back again!

Words cannot describe our experience at the beach house. But we will be back, as fast as we can get back. This place has inspired us in so many ways. Magic!

Great stay. Everything we needed. Very responsive owner. Wonderful experience.

We had an absolutely lovely nine night stay at Halekai. Originally we were only booked for six nights, but we loved our first two nights so much that we contacted Al to see if we could extend our stay. The location of the house is perfectly convenient to points of interest to the north and south, but is situated on a quiet, private road. Of course our favorite part of the house was the huge, ocean front lanai, followed closely by the nearly private beach located just a few steps from the front door. We can’t wait to come back; in fact, we’re already discussing which week we should book for next year!

This is a delightful, cozy home that has everything you need for a relaxing stay on Kauai. The home's "magic" is the wonderful lanai overlooking the ocean. It's a place to spend hours thrilling at the sunrise, watching the clouds sail across the sky and wondering at the moon and stars. It's a great location for enjoying activities all over the island. Mahalo for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay here so much we didn't want to leave. The neighborhood was quiet and our time was so peaceful and relaxing! It was amazing to have an oceanfront view. We woke up every morning and had coffee on the porch while watching the sunrise. We fell asleep every night listening to the waves and feeling the ocean breeze blow gently through the house. The house was clean and stocked with essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap and laundry soap. The location was perfect for us as we were traveling from the north and south of the island daily. We appreciated how well our host Al communicated with us and responded to our questions quickly. We look forward to staying here again soon! A huge Mahalo to the Morgans for being such wonderful hosts!

I had booked this home previously for my family’s vacation to the island, but due to Covid, we were not been able to complete that trip. My only disappointment is that at the time of re-booking I wasn’t able to secure this house for our entire stay. We did get 3 nights here! It was exactly what I wanted for our trip: relaxed atmosphere, private, beautiful views, friendly neighborhood, and simple peace and quiet. Al (owner) was very easy to work with and everything was exactly as advertised. Thank you for a wonderful time!

All the essentials, simple, quiet place to meet up with family nearby. Good to be back, Mahalo Al!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Anahola beach house and would like to make a return trip.

We loved this place....so peaceful and quiet.!! There are mostly locals in this neighborhood which was so nice!. It was nice to chat with some on the beaches. The beaches are so peaceful... Not a ton of tourists. The house is simple and a little worn but clean... Which was perfect for us!!!! We like that... Sometimes hotels, resorts, etc can be too sterile. We loved looking out at the water and going to sleep with the sound of waves. We also snorkeled a bit right in front of our place. While snorkeling one time, my son and I saw 2 seals swimming about 20 ft from us... They looked at us for a couple minutes then dove back down.
