excellent location and well equipped home

This was our fist visit to Kauai and the location of this house was terrific on private beach with Kilauea and Hanalei nearby. The king bed was comfortable and we appreciated the full size fridge, the ample towels, washer and dryer, beach chairs, umbrella and bogie boards. The kitchen was well stocked and the high quality blender made making pina coladas a delight. Very cute and would highly recommend.

Exactly what we were hoping for....

Sweet & cozy private-feeling, not-too-precious cottage in a lush rainforest-y microclimate directly across a quiet sandy dead-end road from the beach. [Careful wading ok, not ideal for swimming as there is dangerous rip/two channels to the left of the house) An easy drive into Hanalei -- also super low-key & vibey -- as well as near stunning hiking.

Our stay in the boathouse on Anini beach

This rental is amazing! The boathouse is charming and has everything you need and the yard and gardens are beautiful. You are steps away from Anini beach, which in our opinion is the best beach on the island 🙂

Perfect Secluded Getaway

The cottage was clean and as advertised. There is a secluded strip of beach right across the street from the cottage with very few if any other people around. It's the perfect escape from the sometimes chaotic tourist activities.

Perfect beach house for the prefect beach

Wonderful location on a beautiful beach front. The house was amazing as advertised. Outdoor shower was fun after a swim or hike. Hearing the waves 24/7 was amazing stepping out 30 feet to the beach was so nice. We got compliments on having the cutest house on the road by other people renting in the area. Host was amazing.
