Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What a wonderful property and rental experience. The house was absolutely amazing and was so inviting, and the management team made everything a breeze from start to finish. The home was immaculately clean, beautiful, and had been set up for us to make us feel so comfortable and welcome (lights on, Hawaiian music playing, ceiling fans on, and A/C set perfectly). The house was stocked and organized and had every ammenity we could ever need or envision. The kitchen was stocked with everything you can imagine, each bedroom had fans, dressers, loads of hangers, etc. There were 2 washers and dryers, ironing boards and irons, cleaning supplies, and more. We were able to park in the garage and had the use of all the essential beach items we could hope for, including towels, chairs, boogie boards, coolers, umbrellas, etc. There were even some kids' beach toys (we didn't need those, but it was great to see they were available for families). I can't say enough great things about this property and all the details both large and small that were in place (like fresh flowers on the dining room table). Our stay and this home were just absolutely incredible. It FAR exceeded our expectations, and the location was near one of the best beaches on Kauai. 10 stars out of 5\.

Perfect spot on the north shore right between Kiluea and Princeville. Short drive to maybe the best kids beach on the island, close to dining and convenience stores etc. Was clean plenty of towels and bedding. Was very private. If you are more into hawaiian life than staying on a resort this place was amazing. They also had anything you'd need to go to the beach. The entire island lost power while we were there and they had pleny of candles and flashlights. Best spot in the house was the entirely covered lanai. We'd love to stay here again. ##### Curtis S.

Feb 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication #### Nice house, with excellent management, OK location Well equipped, very clean, tastefully appointed house with helpful management. "Close" is a relative term. You need to drive to the beach. It is too far to really walk and a steep hilly road on the return. The tropical jungle plants surround the house and direct sun is missing most of the day. We were there in a major storm and cold front. There is no heat source. If it were hot then they have a massive air conditioner. Too bad, that they did not invest in a reversible heat pump to counter the days with 60 degrees inside and your bare feet sticking to the freezing floor. ##### Bill & Meri R.

Reviewer Comments: Our experience at Anini Mauka and with Makana Kauai Properties was wonderful. Everyone was fantastic to work with and most importantly they leave you alone to enjoy your vacation. This property and house is a lot nicer than the pictures might lead you to believe. It is very quiet, very clean and actually has somethings so you do not need to run to the store in the first few hours of your stay. The property is peaceful and the oranges are delicious. This is a great central spot to the north and south. Also it provides you great access to Anini and Kalihiwai beaches. It is wonderful to drive down the road and be at the back of Kalihiwai Bay, where we played with our kids in the river, paddle boarded to the waterfall and surfed all day long. It was magical and we will definitely be back. We have rented a lot of places around the world and we do so a few times a year, and we can happily say that is was a wonderful vacation retreat. The rental company is extremely considerate and nice. Thank you so much! ##### David C. ### 8/10 Good #### Craig V. Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Spacious, quiet island retreat The house is in a nice, quiet location between Princeville and Kilauea, close to Anini Beach. It is pretty well equipped with all the necessary kitchen gear. The place fit our group of six ( 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 small children) perfectly, with 3 bedrooms and a bonus room for the baby to sleep in. Our stay got off to rocky start as we were given the wrong access code to the lockbox. We called the property manager contact number but no one picked up or returned our multiple messages. We spent an anxious hour, with a three-year old and 9-month old, wondering what we were going to do. We finally called the number from which the erroneous text originated and someone was able to call us back with the correct code. While the property is in good condition overall, the appliances are old and in need of replacement. The dishwasher in particular was a problem. It doesn’t clean well and is very inefficient (3-4 hr cycle). We ran a load three times before decided that the “Hi-temp” cycle was the only way to get the soap pod to dissolve. Even that didn’t work every time and it still left a big lump of soap in the dispenser. The only other issue we had was the kitchen faucet handle. It was very loose and at one point fell off. This needs to be fixed!While none of the above problems ruined our trip they certainly detracted from our experience and overall impression of the property. ##### Craig V.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Aside from giving us the wrong property address initially, once we were there, we enjoyed our stay. There were a few minor issues, but everything worked well(especially the AC), and it was clean and spacious. Loved the extra parking spots and the screened in porch to have our morning coffee. Would definately stay here again! ##### Luella S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill R.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay here very much. It's the perfect blend of being close enough to the things we love (Kahiliwai and Anini beaches, Kīlauea and Hanalei) but tucked away from the action so we can relax. Just the right amenities allowed us to be comfortable without being overwhelmed. ##### Jill R. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie G. Jul 30, 2017 #### It was so comfortable - home away from home. The location was fabulous - we can't wait to return. Clean, provided everything you could want for your stay, cozy and the location is great to exploring where you'd like to see. ##### Carrie G.

Nov 4, 2016 #### Beautiful Place We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the warm welcome and departure. Quiet and serenity comfort, yet not far from the beautiful Anina Beach and boutiques a short drive. We would certainly stay here again. ##### Winona S.
