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.

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 🙂

Everything we expected and more! The cottage was Like stepping back in time. So many interesting objects to discover. Truely unique! The location was incredible! Quiet and private but just a short drive to everything you need. The beach right out the front door, and the beautiful gardens behind the cottage were spectacular!

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.

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.

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 !!!!
