Anini Mauka was the perfect location for our trip to Kauai. The home had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Princeville or Hanalei. Anini Beach is still our favorite and only a 5 minute drive. The home had everything needed for the beach too which is a plus!Thank you for a great stay!

Great floor plan, Beautiful, clean, well appointed house. A relaxing comfortable environment. Lovely landscaping. Screened in lanai we spent a lot of time on. Lots of towels and places to hang them so we didn’t have to wash them after every shower or trip to the beach.Great location near a popular snorkeling beach with a reef to break the waves. Supermarket and gas and sushi about 5 min away. Great Saturday farmers market near by and a health food store.Convenient to most things we did going out for take out or a special dinner and sightseeing and hiking.

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. THANK YOU for such a great stay!!!!

The best house
This property was beautiful, clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for our stay. I was worried that we would have to rent items to take to the beach but the garage had it all! All the greenery around the house adds the best touch to the house. It’s super nice to wake up and see why the island is called the garden island. Would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

Amazing North Shore Location
We loved the house. 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.

Amazing Place
The house was more than accommodating for 7 of us. The kitchen was equipped with EVERYTHING! the living room has a big enough sofa for everyone to sit comfortably, screened patio was an added extra, much needed, due to the mosquitos. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Everything needed for the beach was there. The only issues was the ceiling vent to draw hot air out wasn't working, but fans were provided. Hotter inside than outside some nights.
I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying again

Wonderful home in Kauai
This home is in a quiet neighborhood near Anini beach (3 minutes drive) that makes you feel like a local. Everyone living around you is a local and it's a great base to head to Kilauea, Hanalei, Kapa'a, or anywhere you'd like to go, with so many local and hidden gems worth exploring. The living/dining room is sizable and allowed our whole family to be comfortable. And the host was great communicating with any questions that came up or anything we needed. Overall I was very happy with the stay.

Northern Beach Paradise
We spent over a week at this property and would gladly return. The home is open, clean and simply furnished. It's ideal for families or groups and is well-stocked with games, beach gear and two beautiful porches, one large screened and one open to the morning sun. The linens were excellent and sleeping options good with the master bedroom having the best view and airflow due to many windows. Ceiling fans and standing fans made the other bedrooms very comfortable. Proximity to beaches such as Anini and Kalihiwai were the reason for our stay and are within 10 minutes by car. The street near the home is well-traveled, roosters around 4am are normal and neighbors are close but quiet hours between 9pm and 6am seemed to be universally observed. If you're extra noise sensitive, earplugs for sleeping would be helpful. Overall, this is a perfect location and a very comfortable home. We loved our stay here.
