**Please note this Vacation Home is located in the tsunami evacuation zone.
As one of the more spacious properties on Anini Beach, ’Hale La'Au Pohaku' (House of Wood and Rock) and 'Hale Ohana' offer 4,200 square feet of combined indoor floor space, plus 500 square feet of two covered lanais spread out over two homes on a private lot. This estate sits just 225 feet from the ocean with a private path to the beach out the front door.
Main Home:
Step into paradise as the open great room comes with Koa wood floors, doors, and cabinets, as well as a 24-foot-high, custom Hawaiian wood cathedral ceiling, studded with skylights, marble, and granite finishes. Each of the three bedrooms has a therapeutic mattress, high-quality linens, and pillow options. With ceiling fans in every room, you’ll fall asleep to the ocean breeze with ease. Custom lighting throughout the home adds to amazing vacation pictures. The front and rear lanais offer beautiful partial ocean and mountain views, respectively. The landscaping features an abundance of tropical plantings and flowers that attract birds and wildlife.
The large main bedroom suite has a king bed and a marble bathroom with twin vanities and a luxurious shower. Each of the two oversized bedrooms offers direct access to separate lanais through screened doors. Each includes a queen bed and a daybed with an additional twin mattress underneath, and they share a large marble bathroom and shower. The large, fully-equipped kitchen has Koa wood cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counter-tops, and top amenities for intimate meal prepping and cooking. With a six-seat bar and eight-seat dining table, there is ample dining room inside. On the front lanai, you can dine and feel the ocean breeze while viewing the palm trees and ocean waves or enjoy the private lanai in the back.
Guest Home:
Beautiful mountain and rainforest views can be seen as you enjoy this private two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath experience.
The main bedroom is a suite with a full shower, private entrance to the back and front of the house, and its own wet bar. Included in the suite is a separate sitting room with outside access, which holds a TV area and an additional queen sleeper sofa for two. In total, this home has two queen beds and one queen sofabed. The newly appointed kitchen features original Koa wood cabinets, granite counters, and stainless appliances. Dine at the four-seat kitchen bar or use the outside tropical dining area for six and barbecuing.
Whether you're a group of couples, friends, or a larger family group, this estate provides all the amenities necessary after a long day at the beach. When you venture out, feel free to use the home’s coolers, beach towels, beach wagon, or snorkel gear on the calm waters of Anini beach - the only swimmable beach year-round. An outdoor shower, multiple spots to rinse, and free laundry make it easy to stay clean. The home is equipped with parking, bamboo linens, beach towels, a barbecue, games, guidebooks, DVD players and select videos, and cable TVs. Free WiFi allows for AppleTV, Netflix or Hulu downloads for late-night movies.

Great location. Nice house. Well stocked kitchen and beach equipment!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
The location is across the street from the beach. We had 4 families. The only access to the main house is a flight of stairs. It was hot during the day because there is no AC, which is common for Hawaii. If 1 family books both homes then there is room for 3 car easily. We had car drama because the listing only says 2 cars and we had two families. We could have easily fit another car. The accommodations provided privacy for each family and a gathering place. The yard is incredible! We loved this home! There are a TON of camp chairs and paddle board and life jackets left by other guests. I am sure it’s not guaranteed to be there but we did not need to make a Walmart run to get beach supplies. Amazing house!
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
It is a bit challenging to write this review. There are some excellent things, but also a few issues that keep this place from being a five star house.
First, some of the excellent things:
- The house is very close (2 minute walk) to a very nice beach and we love the north shore of Kauai. It is lush and beautiful.
- The kitchen is well stocked, although we found the main frying pan (which is not non-stick) very hard to clean.
- The rooms, including the bedrooms, were large and the furniture / beds were comfortable. The second building with two of the bedrooms was very nice and well equipped.
- There were lots of fans
- There was more equipment for the beach than you could ever ask for. Chairs, coolers, bogey boards, large stand up paddle boards, water shoes, snorkeling gear, lots of towels, ... It was everything we could ask for and more. It was like a candy store for our kids
- The front porch is very nice and you can feel the ocean breezes (note that because of the reef, which results in good snorkeling on Anini beach, causes the waves the break far out from shore. Therefore, you don't "hear" the ocean waves breaking on the shore, even though the ocean is so close to the house
- It was very clean
- the local support people were very responsive, even on a Sunday.
There were a number of things that were less positive:
- None of the screen doors had latches and the front door screen would not even stay closed.
- there were no instructions for the dishwasher (we never got it to work)
- the first impression of the house is poor, the tiles on the back porch are very worn and paint needs touch up on the back stairs and then when we walked into the house it was very hot.
- The refrigerator is very slow producing ice. We ended up buying bags of ice because it didn't produce enough ice for a large group
- Even with lots of fans running, trying to circulate the outside air into the big main room of the house, it was warm during the day (hotter than it was outside). This might not be an issue at other times of the year, but was a issue for us in the middle of the summer when we were there.
- The partial ocean view, is very partial. You get small glimpses through the foliage.
The driveway is quite narrow and a bit of a challenge to back up in because of the lush foliage (particularly in the vans we had rented)
In many ways this is a great house, but as discussed above there are some annoying details that didn't really meet our expectations, particularly given the price point.
One small additional detail that people might find helpful. The beach is much smaller, but does not entirely disappear, at high tide. So playing on the beach is a little more limited at high tide, but we also found that snorkeling was better at high tide (the water was actually a little shallow for snorkeling at low tide)
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
As far as location to the beach, this place is great. The house itself could needs some love. We found dirt under the kitchen cupboard toe kicks that hadnt been cleaned in quite some time. There were a number of things that were actually safety issues; handrail that isnt secure, loose step, outlets missing their covers etc. Furnishings were a bit outdated but we could live with that. All in all just a bit disappointing considering the cost.
