**Please note this Vacation Home is located in the tsunami evacuation zone.
As one of the more spacious properties on Anini Beach, ’Hale La'Au Pohaku' (House of Wood and Rock) and 'Hale Ohana' offer 4,200 square feet of combined indoor floor space, plus 500 square feet of two covered lanais spread out over two homes on a private lot. This estate sits just 225 feet from the ocean with a private path to the beach out the front door.
Main Home: Step into paradise as the open great room comes with Koa wood floors, doors, and cabinets, as well as a 24-foot-high, custom Hawaiian wood cathedral ceiling, studded with skylights, marble, and granite finishes. Each of the three bedrooms has a therapeutic mattress, high-quality linens, and pillow options. With ceiling fans in every room, you’ll fall asleep to the ocean breeze with ease. Custom lighting throughout the home adds to amazing vacation pictures. The front and rear lanais offer beautiful partial ocean and mountain views, respectively. The landscaping features an abundance of tropical plantings and flowers that attract birds and wildlife.
The large main bedroom suite has a king bed and a marble bathroom with twin vanities and a luxurious shower. Each of the two oversized bedrooms offers direct access to separate lanais through screened doors. Each includes a queen bed and a daybed with an additional twin mattress underneath, and they share a large marble bathroom and shower. The large, fully-equipped kitchen has Koa wood cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counter-tops, and top amenities for intimate meal prepping and cooking. With a six-seat bar and eight-seat dining table, there is ample dining room inside. On the front lanai, you can dine and feel the ocean breeze while viewing the palm trees and ocean waves or enjoy the private lanai in the back.
Guest Home: Beautiful mountain and rainforest views can be seen as you enjoy this private two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath experience.
The main bedroom is a suite with a full shower, private entrance to the back and front of the house, and its own wet bar. Included in the suite is a separate sitting room with outside access, which holds a TV area and an additional queen sleeper sofa for two. In total, this home has two queen beds and one queen sofabed. The newly appointed kitchen features original Koa wood cabinets, granite counters, and stainless appliances. Dine at the four-seat kitchen bar or use the outside tropical dining area for six and barbecuing.
Whether you're a group of couples, friends, or a larger family group, this estate provides all the amenities necessary after a long day at the beach. When you venture out, feel free to use the home’s coolers, beach towels, beach wagon, or snorkel gear on the calm waters of Anini beach - the only swimmable beach year-round. An outdoor shower, multiple spots to rinse, and free laundry make it easy to stay clean.

Location is 6 stars!!
Directly across form the most pristine, clam, beach. Although it's a public beach it feels very private. House is beautiful. Great room is very spacious was great for a big group. Great showers, comfortable beds. Kitchen could use some updating/upgrades. Utensils, pots, pans etc we're pretty basic.
Great location. Nice house. Well stocked kitchen and beach equipment!

Beware! Not all as it seems!
The main house is very nice but be aware the guest house is below standard.
Of course the best part is access across the street to Anini Beach which we enjoyed immensely.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
As far as location to the beach, this place is great. The house itself could needs some love. We found dirt under the kitchen cupboard toe kicks that hadnt been cleaned in quite some time. There were a number of things that were actually safety issues; handrail that isnt secure, loose step, outlets missing their covers etc. Furnishings were a bit outdated but we could live with that. All in all just a bit disappointing considering the cost.
Well equipped kitchen, comfortable gathering area, easy access to small private beach
Nice property for the price

Great location and amenities but hot despite external breeze.
Everything was perfect as far as the house, amenities, and location but we and our guests were pretty hot at the property despite the fans. The trade winds don’t seem to provide the same ventilation on the linais or inside the house as well as I’ve experienced with other similar non-ac having facilities. It may have just been the week we were there.
The location is across the street from the beach. We had 4 families. The only access to the main house is a flight of stairs. It was hot during the day because there is no AC, which is common for Hawaii. If 1 family books both homes then there is room for 3 car easily. We had car drama because the listing only says 2 cars and we had two families. We could have easily fit another car. The accommodations provided privacy for each family and a gathering place. The yard is incredible! We loved this home! There are a TON of camp chairs and paddle board and life jackets left by other guests. I am sure it’s not guaranteed to be there but we did not need to make a Walmart run to get beach supplies. Amazing house!
Me and my friends had an amazing time staying here. Everything from the location to the amenities to the house itself all made for an unforgettable island vacation. If I ever remodel my home bathroom I'm basing it off the master bath here.. The jacuzzi tub was tragically inoperable, but still managed to be one of my favorite parts functioning as just a normal oversized tub. Some things that you should know before booking though; most of the doors and windows are just slats and screens, so noise privacy is minimal, and the area is full of wild roosters, which are cute, but be ready to wake up when they do if you don't bring any earplugs.

Great location and nice house, but some issues
It is a bit challenging to write this review. There are some excellent things, but also a few issues that keep this place from being a five star house.
First, some of the excellent things:
- The house is very close (2 minute walk) to a very nice beach and we love the north shore of Kauai. It is lush and beautiful.
- The kitchen is well stocked, although we found the main frying pan (which is not non-stick) very hard to clean.
- The rooms, including the bedrooms, were large and the furniture / beds were comfortable. The second building with two of the bedrooms was very nice and well equipped.
- There were lots of fans
- There was more equipment for the beach than you could ever ask for. Chairs, coolers, bogey boards, large stand up paddle boards, water shoes, snorkeling gear, lots of towels, ... It was everything we could ask for and more. It was like a candy store for our kids
- The front porch is very nice and you can feel the ocean breezes (note that because of the reef, which results in good snorkeling on Anini beach, causes the waves the break far out from shore. Therefore, you don't "hear" the ocean waves breaking on the shore, even though the ocean is so close to the house
- It was very clean
- the local support people were very responsive, even on a Sunday.
There were a number of things that were less positive:
- None of the screen doors had latches and the front door screen would not even stay closed.
- there were no instructions for the dishwasher (we never got it to work)
- the first impression of the house is poor, the tiles on the back porch are very worn and paint needs touch up on the back stairs and then when we walked into the house it was very hot.
- The refrigerator is very slow producing ice. We ended up buying bags of ice because it didn't produce enough ice for a large group
- Even with lots of fans running, trying to circulate the outside air into the big main room of the house, it was warm during the day (hotter than it was outside). This might not be an issue at other times of the year, but was a issue for us in the middle of the summer when we were there.
- The partial ocean view, is very partial. You get small glimpses through the foliage.
The driveway is quite narrow and a bit of a challenge to back up in because of the lush foliage (particularly in the vans we had rented)
In many ways this is a great house, but as discussed above there are some annoying details that didn't really meet our expectations, particularly given the price point.
One small additional detail that people might find helpful. The beach is much smaller, but does not entirely disappear, at high tide. So playing on the beach is a little more limited at high tide, but we also found that snorkeling was better at high tide (the water was actually a little shallow for snorkeling at low tide)

Beautiful Island
Loved the proximity to Anini Beach and fantastic snorkeling. Lots of beautiful fish at the reef and saw several turtles.

Almost Perfect
Our family, consisting of 7 adults and 3 younger children, rented both houses on the property--Anini Pohaku (the front house) and Anini Ohana (the back house). Location is ideal. The property is right across the street from the beach access. The main house is open and spacious and was great for entertaining the entire family. The house was well equipped in terms of appliances and housewares. There was a full supply of recreational gear and beach equipment in the basement. The rear house was open, spacious and well equipped. Neither house had air conditioning, which is not unusual for Anini properties, but were equipped with fans. This proved to be a problem in the main house, but not the rear house. Two of the fans did not work which made the situation worse. When we arrived the front house was closed and locked and not all fans were on. The house was oppressively hot and never became totally comfortable. It was never possible to secure the front house when we were out because the house would have been unlivable if kept totally closed for any period. The rear house had all fans running and was more open when we arrived. The conditions in the rear house were comfortable for the entire stay. The back of the main house, which is the space between the two houses, was a nice lawn area with a BBQ area under the house. The back of the rear house had a lovely garden area which proved to be unusable because of mosquitos and wasps. If the ventilation issues in the main house were resolved we would definitely return to the estate.
