About this property

Your Storybook Tropical Island Escape at Anini Beach- TVNC 1361

Tucked beneath swaying palms and just steps from the gentle turquoise waters of Anini Beach, this enchanting one-bedroom cottage is pure island charm. With its vintage flair and dreamy, movie-set vibes, it’s the perfect hideaway for romantic retreats, solo escapes, or anyone seeking a little magic by the sea. Wake up to ocean breezes, stroll the quiet shoreline, and fall asleep to the sound of waves—this is Hawai‘i at its most heart-stealing. Anini Beach’s protected waters are great for kayaking, stand up paddling, and snorkeling.

We team up with you to protect this beautiful island:
At the Anini Reef Cottage, sustainability is part of the experience. We are committed to reducing single-use plastics and ask each guest to bring a reusable metal water bottle. These can be packed in a checked bag or carried empty through TSA and filled at the airport. During your stay, you’ll enjoy ultra-pure, filtered tap water. And if you enjoy sparkling water, your in-house water bubbler is available to make fresh sparkling water.
North Shore Adventures Await
While the cottage encourages a slower pace, adventure is never far away. Just a short drive brings you to the best of Kauai’s North Shore, including:
• Hanalei Bay – World-renowned for its crescent beach and charming surf town.
• Kilauea Lighthouse & Wildlife Refuge – A must-visit for bird watchers and scenic vistas.
• Na Pali Coast & Ha‘ena State Park – Hike the iconic Kalalau Trail or explore pristine Ke‘e Beach. (Permits required)
Some of the Cottage’s amenities:
• Complimentary beach wagon for easy transport of gear
• Three beach cruiser bicycles for cruising Anini’s scenic beachside road
Please note: This vacation home is located in a tsunami evacuation zone.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

excellent location and well equipped home

This was our fist visit to Kauai and the location of this house was terrific on private beach with Kilauea and Hanalei nearby. The king bed was comfortable and we appreciated the full size fridge, the ample towels, washer and dryer, beach chairs, umbrella and bogie boards. The kitchen was well stocked and the high quality blender made making pina coladas a delight. Very cute and would highly recommend.

Charming cottage right on a snorkeling-haven beach

Wonderful stay at the charming boat house cottage. 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.

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.

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 !!!!

A Slice of Heaven

It doesn’t get much better than this. We stayed for three nights for our 25th anniversary. 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.

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!
