This place was perfect. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to relax and make meals. We had a party of 7 and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Great outdoor sitting areas and the kids loved the jacuzzi. Just across the street from Anini beach, where even the locals were jealous of the house's proximity! This is "the beach" to go to according to the locals if you have kids, want to snorkel or paddleboard or just relax on the beach. The kids went snorkeling every morning to see sea turtles and fish. Also, very close to Hanalei and Princeville for market and restaurant options. The north part of the island gets you away from the big resorts and "commercial" feel of Hawaii. I will try and book this property again next time we come back.

The property was beautiful and the beach location perfect for our family get together. We had a great time. The only thing that wasn't as advertised was the hot tub didn’t work. It would have felt good after a day of kayaking and hiking. I would rebook this property again.

This spacious three bedroom house was perfect for a family vacation, right across the street from Anini beach. Quiet neighborhood yet convenient to Princeville Foodland and easy drive to Hanalei

Upon arrival I was disturbed by the grounds being so cluttered. There had been a storm, but it seem to be worse than that. It was cleaned up within two days. We found the bathrooms and the kitchen to be very clean, although the carpeting, the sectional, and the pillows all need a thorough cleaning. We washed pillow covers because they were disgusting.

Absolutely stunning home! Great location! The check-in process was a little rough from the start. We were not in receipt of the check in instructions on how to actually access the property itself. It took close to an hour going through Vrbo to reach someone to get the instructions sent to us via email. Once we got to the home the home was absolutely stunning. It was late in the evening, but the morning sun rise, highlighted exactly what the property was all about and we could’ve been any happier. Woke up to the ocean and roosters :)

Location is perfect! We walked across the street to ‘our beach’ and daily location under a huge tree. We watched the sunset each night with a glass of wine and then went back to a very warm house. That was the one drawback. We realize we are in Kauai and AC is not the norm but it was so warm even with fans everywhere- ceiling and floor. You will need and use all the fans. We did have some days where the temperature and trade winds cooled the house. The nights were good for sleeping as it would cool down. The front lanai was our favorite spot to gather after dinner. Beds were very comfortable. Snorkeling equipment and paddle board were great to have! A few small suggestions- only found 2 kitchen towels, need more! My daughter rented a few baby items for our 4 month old grandson which is a great service available if traveling with an infant including a pack and play- THERE WAS ONE IN THE MASTER BEDROOM CLOSET! I even called Vacasa to find out if there were any baby items in the home. Please add to you list of items for this house!! Also there were 3 empty propane tanks for the BBQ so we had to cook chicken inside Friday evening. Called to request tanks and they were delivered on Sunday. Anini Beach is such a beautiful spot! Hope to return!!

This home is spacious, comfortable, well equipped, thoughtfully decorated and incredibly located. So many spaces for lounging - both a front deck and a back one - as well as a large family room with comfy furniture. The beds too were amazing. There was tons of beach equipment provided - everything you could want or need! The home sits directly across the street from one of the beach accesses to Anini - a gem of a beach and an ideal place for snorkeling or playing in the sand with little ones or relaxing. I highly recomment this home and hope to stay there again!

Our family enjoyed every moment of our time in this beautiful house! It was perfect for our family of 6 to enjoy the beach, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and hiking.

This was an amazing location for our family. Three children under the age of 7, a teenager, and my wife and I. We thoroughly enjoyed the home and being so close to the water. It was easy to set up a spot on the beach in the morning and go back and forth between house and beach all day. Water was great. Anini is some of the calmest water and most protected beach in Kauai. Great place for paddleboarding, seeing sea turtles, snorkeling, playing with the kids, etc. Highly recommend this home. There is an option to rent the small cottage behind the home. Would recommend that too.

Perfect spot just steps away from the beach. Convenient location to Hanalei or Kilauea. Lots of amenities, would stay here again

Walking across the street to the beach was amazing, especially since the beach is pretty secluded and we always found a shady spot to hang out. The house was beautiful and spacious, just had several quirks. Would have been nice to be told of these ahead of time instead of trial and error. Washer and dryer only worked on certain settings, no cold water at kitchen sink, screen door doesn’t close properly (mosquitoes everywhere) and bathtub jets don’t work. We also had a few other issues that were resolved, but communication was difficult since you have to go through Vacasa and not the local team. Also just a heads up there is limited to no cell phone service depending on your carrier. Wifi worked great though and we really enjoyed all the amenities the house had to offer. Vitamix, rice cooker, SUP and surf board, tons of beach chairs and snorkel gear. We were lucky to have courteous renters in the house directly behind this one so noise was not an issue. For the price, we expected a more flawless experience but that being said, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Loved the Location. Cars on road In front of property a distraction.. Not enough hot water to fill the tub. Access to beach outstanding

The house has a fantastic location: steps from the beach!! 2 great lanais. Inside, everything you need. It is very Spacious. One problem we encountered was with the dishwasher: first time we use it, the dishes aren’t cleaned. I contact Vacasa team: very professional and I’m told someone will be there the next day and to expect a call or text message. Well nobody came, called or ever texted. So no dishwasher for us for the whole week. Upon leaving, we talked to cleaning crew who told us we would get some kind of refund, but we havent received any news of that. So bottom line, be prepared to be on your own on this one. Once again the place is super well located, is very nice, well appointed but if you have a problem, good luck. Be aware, there is no a/c. It did not really cause a problem, we were there in late October.

Awesome house. Perfect location. We had a wonderful time!

The house is beautiful and really well kept. There's lots of space and they have well appointed amenities. The jacuzzi tub wasn't working when we were there and that would have been a great extra benefit. However, everything else there was terrific.

Best part of our stay at this house was the convenience of the beach access right across the street.

Place is as nice as advertised. Had all the beach gear needed. Can't ask for a better location. We thought the lack of a/c might have been an issue but never even noticed. We did have issues with the oven when we tried to use it. I'm sure a quick maintenance check would resolve that though. Regardless, I would definitely stay there again.

The location on Anini Beach was perfect. A short walk to the beach and short drive to Princeville and Hanalei. The house is incredibly hot from Noon to 10 pm even with a decent wind outside and the windows and doors fully opened the home does not enjoy the benefits of the “trade winds. It becomes so hot you need to be outside. The snorkeling equipment wasn’t any good so you need to buy or bring your own. The pillow cases in the master bedroom did not fit the pillows. No sponges or dishcloths were available to wash the dishes and the dishwasher would run for hours. We were unable to get the Sonos system to work despite 2 calls to Vacasa. The neighbors next door in the blue house woke us up at 7 am whike using their lanai as a remote office on one occasion and at night we could hear them washing and putting away dishes in the kitchen at 11 pm while trying to sleep in the master bedroom. We were told trash pick up was Tuesday mornings and twice our trash was not collected. The home was stocked with plenty of towels and the beds were comfortable. The house would cool off after 10 pm so it was not impossible to sleep. There are numerous portable fans which we used constantly.

Great location, lovely house, appreciated the stand-up paddle boards, beach chairs, etc. provided, Wi-fi super fast. The kitchen, however, needs an upgrade - dish washer can't wash to save it's life (we had to do it by hand), oven can't cook a thing (we relied on the BBQ), sink faucet was stuck on the pull-out sprayer and trash and recycling bins too small. We had fun.

The home was beautiful and very spacious. The bedrooms were all good sized and the beds and futons were comfortable. There was plenty of room for a large family and the dual patios made for a great outdoor space. The access to the beach was incredible. Having relaxing mornings and evenings was so nice; couldn't have been more than a 3 minute walk back and forth to the calmest beach around.The only negative as others have pointed out is the lack of A/C. This is common in the area, but as this house has a skylight, the heat gets a bit rough in the afternoon and the nights are a bit warm. There are many fans which helped, but A/C would make this one of the best stays in Hawaii. The parking is also very tight so if you have a large vehicle it may be difficult to get in and out.Overall, this was a beautiful house with great Hawaiian style touches and the beach was amazing.

Overall, a great property and location. Spacious and clean, we enjoyed stand up paddle boarding on the calm waters in the morning. Well-stocked equipment shed - SUP, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, snorkel gear, etc. The only thing to be forewarned is that the West-facing 2 rooms and family room can get HOT! When we arrived, we immediately opened all the windows, and hung out on the lanai, which is nice and breezy. Watched a movie from 7-9 in our swimsuits. By 9, the West facing rooms had cooled down enough to sleep. The master faces East, so it stays cool. The next two nights, it rained overnight so the rooms stayed cool until the early afternoon. It wasn’t a huge issue for us as we were out and about during the day, but if you have little kids that need to nap in the afternoon, they will have to do so in the master. But overall, an excellent experience and location!

The house is comfortable and spacious and the Anini Beach location while a bit busy with traffic is lovely with convenient access to the beach itself. The location is also convenient for both East shore and North shore exploring.

This was a fun place! It was secluded and so close to the beach that you never have to drive. It was a short walk along a sandy shaded path to a perfect beach location outside of the water. Lot of snorkeling but the kids can't just run and jump into the water without hitting the reef.
Like others said, no A/C but ceiling fans and not being there in the middle of the day helped. Note that the home allows for a lot of airflow, which means minimal privacy. All the bedroom doors are a fixed shutter style and while you can't see in, noise travels right through.
All-in-all it was a great place and we'd stay there again because of location and size. Oh, and the beds are amazing! Slept like a baby.
Thanks for a fun place in a beautiful part of the world!!!

Great property in a very good location.

We love Anini beach and this home was the perfect way to enjoy it. We had plenty of room to relax, dine, play, and refresh. The home was equipped with all of the necessities plus some very special amenities like music, movies, beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards. It was clean and comfortable. Thank you!

We are fortunate to travel quite a bit, this property was one of the best appointed we've visited. Lots of beach gear including chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkel sets, paddle boards, full complement of kitchen gadgets, blender, pots and pans etc. If anything we'd want bedrooms to have A/C for summer months but that's about the only thing we'd change. Great place, lots of space indoor and out, steps to the beach!

Our family loved staying at the house! The location can’t be beat directly across the street from Anini Beach. We saw tons of turtles and some fish snorkeling. The 2 SUPs were awesome to use on the calm waters - perfect way to start the day. The house is well-stocked with everything you need. The 3 bedrooms were spacious and fit us comfortably. There is a 2 bedroom back house - no one stayed there during our visit. If someone were staying there privacy would be impacted. Be prepared for the roosters to wake you up starting at 4am but that’s the Kaua’i life. The only downside of the house is the main room gets unbearably hot from about noon to 8pm. We couldn’t spend much time inside during that time. Usually we were out adventuring so it was fine but we arrived home to an oven even with the overhead fans on. When we arrived on Sunday at 4pm the whole house was roasting. The bedrooms at night were comfortable with fans blazing - we requested more fans - that helped. We were surprised to find no AC units given the previous renters’ and owner’s comments that 5 AC units had been installed. We eventually were told by the management company via text that the owner tried to install units but the electrical panel won’t support it. So as of 10/25 there are no AC units. Hoping the owner can find a way to upgrade so that the whole house can be enjoyed. With all that said, we would absolutely stay at the house again especially during cooler months. Enjoy the turtles!

Worked really well for our family of six. Amazing location across the street from public access for Anini Beach. Beach was calm and great for kids, paddle boarding and swimming. Water was clear and scenery stunning. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. There is a second separate guest house being rented behind this house that shares a driveway so was not as private as we expected. It was a huge deal but good for people to know, especially with little kids because we felt we all had to be quiet and they were not able to play outside as anticipated. This house would be a five star if not for privacy and a few items in home that need to be fixed for full functionality.

Fantastic location and property. Literally steps from Anini Beach. The house is large and spacious, and comes fully stocked with everything you might need in the home or at the beach. The only drawback during our stay was the summer heat. The main area of the house stayed quite warm and the AC units didn't keep up during the main part of the day, but we were out of the house for the most part during this time. In the morning and nights it was very comfortable.
