Cozy, Quaint, Beach Cottage made for the ultimate in relaxation!
If you want a totally relaxing beach experience then check out the Anini Reef Beach Cottage. It is as advertised, a few short steps from the beach, not a lot of other people around and conveniently close to Princeville and Hanalei.The Anini Reef Beach cottage is perfect for two people; fitting in more might be “tight”. The cottage is decorated in a cozy style with lots of fun “nick nacks” placed in various places (look around to find them!). Keeping the windows open allows for the “white noise” of the ocean; the waves will accompany you as you fall asleep. The kitchen is small but very functional with a coffee maker, convection oven, microwave and toaster. Poke around in the cabinets to find dishes, cleaning supplies, etc. The bathroom is well appointed with a stall shower (great water pressure and temp) and a fan to keep the moisture out of the room.The bedroom is located at the back of the cottage and includes a ceiling fan (with a light) as well as an air conditioner. Just off the bedroom is the laundry room with a state of the art washer and dryer which is great to use for towels and bathing suits.The cottage comes equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. You will need to rent your own snorkel gear. Most importantly, prior to arrival, read all the instructions/information sent by the team at Mana Kauai Island Vacations. We worked with Joanne and she provided outstanding customer service.

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.

Amazing cottage on the beach
My wife and I are not resort people. We like a bit more adventure so when we found this cottage, we knew it was perfect. Neat and tidy like a ship’s cabin, it has everything you need and nothing you don’t. It’s away from the hotels and resorts but close enough to pop in and grab a bite or run to the store. Oh, and the beach is 20 steps from the front door. Anini beach isn’t crowded and seems to be where the locals come. The beach is protected and always calm. You can do a little snorkeling here, the reef is shallow, but great place for beginners. We can’t say enough about this magical boathouse other than we will be coming back.

Absolute Paradise
We couldn't have loved this property more. It is a perfect little home just steps from the beach. Like most Hawaiian homes, it doesn't have air conditioning, but it has well-screened windows, so we slept with them open at night. It is clean and well-appointed with a comfortable bed. Most importantly, it is on a secluded road well away from most people visiting Anini Beach. Some early mornings and evenings we had the beach to ourselves, but we were always two of maybe 10 or 12 at the most. The home included beach chairs and towels, and Stephanie provided us with some excellent recommendations for hikes and other activities. Internet is spotty in the immediate area, so we were also thankful for the strong wifi. We are already dreaming of how we can get back to this beautiful property as quickly as possible.

Heaven on Earth
If you look up the word heaven in the dictionary ... there should be a picture of this house. Absolutely wonderful stay. My daughter and I came for a week....and wanted to stay forever. Its secluded, without being too far away from shopping, dining, and activities. Its about a 10 minute drive to Hanalei, which we went to frequently. The kitchen is amply stocked with supplies, plenty of equipment if you want to cook while there ... which we did a couple of nights. There is an excellent fish market in Hanalei... the freshest fish ever, and sushi rolls to die for. There is also a gas grill which was super clean, and worked easily and perfectly. The house is whistle clean, and just enough space for the 2 of us. There is a "charming" rooster that lives close by that woke us up every morning!! Its just part of the charm of this wonderful home. Oh..and you really can't get closer to the beach, it's right across the street, and we were the ONLY ones on it for the entire week. It offers both full sun and full shade. its super calm on this beach, great snorkeling and swimming. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I felt perfectly safe in the water here. We also loved watching the Kite Surfers who frequent this beach daily. We drove to Poipu Beach one day and did some exploring and shopping, But honestly, we couldn't wait to get back to our little paradise on Anini beach. I've rented around the world, and this gem is in my top 3. Do yourself a favor ... book it NOW.

Quaint cottage fully-equipped on gorgeous quiet beach
From start to finish, everything was perfect. We were lucky to stay here for three weeks - days of exploring, hiking, helicopters, boating - then the pure joy of coming “home” to our cottage and beach to swim and snorkel. Outdoor hot shower the best! Location on the north shore ideal, groceries and restaurant and weekly farmer’s market nearby. Highly recommend !!!!
