So many positive reviews of this home, I am not sure I have much to add. I read all the reviews, and my expectations were high. The home is lovely and met expectations all around. As others have mentioned, the kitchen is extremely well stocked with every gadget/device (even a Lomi!). The garage has every water toy/ snorkel/ sun shade you could need, and a 2nd fridge. And the beds/ pillows were super comfy and high quality. But the star of the show (by far) is the front porch. When not on the beach, we were all hanging on the front lanai. We enjoyed pink sunrises, double rainbows, and tangerine sunsets. It could not be more breathtaking. A few mentions: the home has stunning soft wood floors. They really are exquisite but also delicate, and the rules about the flooring honestly had me a bit paranoid. Plan to bring slippers. The wifi worked well during the day for zoom calls. a/c worked well in the BRs, it was warm in Sept. No a/c in the kitchen but good breeze.
Lastly (more the neighborhood vibe) car camping, day and night, is allowed along Anini Road (or if there is a rule against it, it is widely ignored) . We had a mini van camp in front of the house for three days. And there was another camper in front of the home next door. They were very respectful and we had no problems.
And just a tip, if you're looking for a boat tour, the Napali Sea Breeze leaves from the boat ramp 2 min away. Basically roll out of bed. Super convenient!
Fantastic week.

This property was the perfect definition of a hawaii family vacation! The house was set up perfectly for multiple families and we enjoyed the beach in our front yard! We look forward to celebrating here again some day.

Beautiful home on Anini Beach. A simple walk across a not very busy street to a calm lagoon of a beach. Perfect for little ones getting used to swimming in the ocean! The snorkeling was also phenomenal. We went every day.

The property is newly renovated. It is set up perfectly for a beach vacation. Long walks down the beach are out your door, toys are in the garage for beach fun, sunsets are stunning from the porch, and the large porch and generous living space make it perfect for when the Kauai rainstorms swoop

The bedrooms, kitchen, and porch have newer furnishings and everything you would need is supplied.
You will need a car as dinners, shopping, other beaches will require a 15-30 minute drive. If you have a larger group, two cars would be important as it does rain frequently on this island and if you want to chase the sun or go kayaking or on a tour, the people back at the house will not have civilization accessible by foot. The beach and quiet are the best part of this home, but a second car could be important for a group of adults.
My group worked from here and Wi-Fi and tv access were no problem.

the house was beautiful, well stocked, spacious. the deck was wonderful and of course the location on the beach was lovely. we had a fabulous time. the reef provided a place for the younger kids to play with out waves. we took the older ones down the road a bit to catch some waves.

Quiet, serene location, lovely ocean beach house on an extremely calm portion of the bay. Ideal location for snorkeling and poor swimmers, the coral outcrop creates an atoll.

The house was immaculate and so well stocked! The linens, the furniture and all the kitchen utensils were perfect and great quality. The communication and check in process was super easy! We loved the AC units in each room and the views and easy beach access from our front door. The photos do not do this property justice. It will take your breath away! We will definitely visit again.

This is a beautiful property on the most beautiful part of the island! The house was new, clean, and spacious enough for multiple families. There was lots of attention to detail, and the management was more than gracious, leaving extra supplies and necessities. Dealing with the property management was easy, and always pleasant! The location of the property was simply amazing. It is a quiet area with only a few steps between the house and the beach. The coral reef was beautiful, with amazing snorkeling. I loved that the house had ample beach equipment, chairs, snorkel gear, and paddle boards! We never had to rent gear, as it was all provided. We truly felt the attention to detail by the management was intentional in making it feel like this was our island home. Beautiful and immaculate home! We will be visiting again!

Because then the secret would be out!
The pictures on the listing look amazing and they don't even capture how lovely, spacious, clean, and high quality the house is. We went with friends and their daughter and had plenty of room to spread out when desired and also to come together for meals, hangout time, etc. The furniture and beds are fantastic, the kitchen is very well appointed and had the best quality equipment (both appliances as well as utensils/tools/supplies) we've ever seen in a rental. For beachgoing, the toys in the garage were in great shape and the paddleboards were a huge hit and totally perfect for the beach out front! Speaking of -- seriously, you're a 45 second walk from the porch to a broad, shallow, sandy-bottom beach entry with protected wading and swimming on the north shore of Kauai; it doesn't get any better than that.
We'll definitely try to be back!

The house couldn’t have been more comfortable and clean. We grilled, cooked big family dinners, it’s been every morning on the porch looking out at the water. Great swimming just a few steps away.

We stayed at the lovely Kalihiwai property with our family. The house is beautiful and so well appointed. Could not have asked for anything more. Easy to reserve and great communication with the property manager. We look forward to visiting again.

We absolutely loved our time staying here! The house is beautiful and perfectly located with the beach and ocean right outside your door. You get to see a sunrise and sunset from the porch which was an added bonus. Do yourself a favor and book this house!

Our family just returned from an amazing stay at this gorgeous property. The home is not only spacious and beautifully appointed, the location cannot be beat. Steps away from the calm waters surrounding the coral reef. Minutes away from groceries and shops. We enjoyed every single minute of our time here. We will definitely be back! It really was the perfect home for a family vacation.
