The listing and the reviews made me want to rent this property and getting here made me wanna buy it. Your steps from the beach, which, although not private, is as close as it gets to it. The bed is super comfy and we slept great every night. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the front yard area and from the couch in the living area. I can go on and on about the amenities and how great this property is, but you won’t understand until you actually stay here. We will definitely be back. Thank you to Joanne for being a fantastic communicator as well. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48b55c42-028d-49ef-bfec-3db3bc47005b-1754950107684.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2cd63315-1944-4f31-b484-078c80608d84-1754950101104.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ec5e3ab5-a38d-4935-b9e2-32d9be14893b-1754950100939.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1568bcd8-80c5-4167-ab8d-82a097f6f563-1754950100145.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica C.

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. ##### J P.

Anini beach is quite literally a stones throw away. Comfortable stay for 2 people and was a perfect home base for us to snorkel across the road (so many sea turtles!) and zip off in our car to explore the rest of the North Shore. We wanted to avoid the touristy resort scene and this far exceeded our expectations for a comfortable and unique stay in one of the most beautiful places in the world. ##### Nadia T.

Feb 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anini Beach Boat House The property was very clean. It is a charming boat house built in the 1920s (I believe) now converted into a 2-person beachside rental. The VRBO listing accurately describes the details The sailing-themed interior is spot-on. We enjoyed the quiet and solitude of staying at the west end of Anini Beach Road and there were just a few other rental home owners and locals who used the beach across from the property (20 feet from front door to the sand). It is a \~20 minute drive to Hanalei for groceries and meals out. The kitchen is stocked to do meals on your own if desired. Mahalo Stephanie. ##### Jonathan J.

Feb 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### David R. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey G. Jul 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Tracey G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor O.

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. ##### Trevor O. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith L.

Peace and quiet at the end of the road on Anini Beach . Would return . ##### Keith L. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chapman c.

For a secluded getaway on the north shore this place is terrific ##### chapman c. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristina B.

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 🙂 ##### Kristina B. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon K. Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Shannon K.
