At Anini Beach, among many listings on Vrbo, there are only 25 houses for rent, including this, that are actually in the beach neighborhood. It is also permitted by the County as 4217.
The North Shore of Kauai has the third largest barrier coral reef in the world, behind only the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and Costa Rica. At Anini this reef creates lagoon like conditions allowing swimming in all seasons most days of the year in warm calm water. Kai Malie translates as calm sea.
The house is across a two lane road from the beach and 100 steps take you along a flat sandy dedicated beach access to the beach and water. The house is 3 bedroom, 2 bath plus loft (stairway, not ladder access) which can accommodate a large or extended family or group of close friends. The house is surrounded by a huge wraparound deck. Each bedroom has its own sliding door to the deck as well as a solid core (quiet for an early bedtime) interior door. Sun or shade, breezy or quiet you can choose one of many seating areas to relax on the deck. There are some small ocean views. In front there is a covered lanai to gather in case of rain. In back, off the kitchen, an outdoor dining table seats 8.
The grounds are a full half acre of tropical landscaping. There are two grassy ball courts for play, covered parking under the house, many small gardens featuring different plants or sunny/shady seating. Fruit trees abound with papaya, chocolate, mango, avocado, citrus, breadfruit and more. Orchids hang from trees, ginger and heliconia bloom. Faint floral smells hang in the air. Even at night flowers bloom.
The house has tile floor throughout. The great room has comfortable seating and indoor dining accommodating 8. The kitchen has been remodeled with quality cabinets and silestone counter tops. An island with stools is good for quick meals or to keep the designated cook from feeling lonely. The baths have a Swedish spa decor with high cedar ceilings. One bath has a walk-in shower and the other has a jetted tub with a handheld shower. There is a full size washer and drier.
We provide beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, gas bbq and bed and bath linens. We also offer miscellaneous beach toys that we have available. This might include boogie boards, bikes, some snorkel gear. Anini is a wonderful snorkel spot. We offer snorkel gear to introduce someone, particularly children, to the sport. If you are already a fan please bring your own good fitting mask for full enjoyment. You can probably skip the fins if they are too much to pack. Kayaking and SUP are also excellent here. Serious boogie boarding is available one beach south of Anini. Hiking on the NaPali Coast is world class and smaller hikes are available.
Each bedroom has a queen bed, closet, ceiling fan, an extra fan for the rare day over 85 degrees, bed tables and reading lamps. The loft has a double futon. Only an area about 10x12 ft is tall enough for adults to stand. The loft is ideal for children 4 to preteen. AC is not generally needed or available on the North Shore.
Within two miles south and north are the towns of Kilauea and Princeville. Beyond Princeville another mile is Hanalei. All provide different selections of shops, stores, restaurants, tours, rentals and sporting opportunities. Of particular note is golf at Princeville.
The house is located across from the short, sandy, flat beach access. Snorkeling, kayaking and SUP are excellent here. Wonderful for children also. It is very quiet--most people miss the beach accesses and continue to the public beach park. The park is a short walk. The homes and landscaping on the way are lovely. You can also walk the total length of the 2 mile long beach.
