Romantic 1 Bedroom Home at Anini Beach! - Sleeps 2
Retreat from the cares of the world in this tastefully furnished, one-bedroom, one-bath, oceanfront home.
TVR #5082
Punana Aloha, which means 'Love Nest' in Hawaiian, is a one-bedroom, one-bath hideaway on incomparable Anini Beach. Constructed of natural cedar throughout, this cottage is the perfect choice for a vacation to simply 'get away from it all.' Restricted to a maximum of two guests, the cottage is ideal for honeymoons or anniversaries.
Located on Kauai's verdant North Shore, Anini Beach is a haven for the traveler who wants to experience the unspoiled natural beauty of Hawaii. Protected by a large outer reef, the quiet waters of Anini are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, and sunning.
Follow Anini Road almost to the spot where it dead ends at Anini Stream (the last quarter mile is unpaved and may be a little bumpy) and you will find Punana Aloha on a beautifully landscaped half acre of land fronting the ocean. The ocean view is unobstructed, and your toes will touch the sand of the beach less than 75 yards from the front door.

This home is secluded on the end of a quiet road with the beach in the front yard. The sounds of the surf, the crowing roosters and the household kitty all enhanced the charm of our stay.
Property was truly a gem in paradise. Clean and well maintained we enjoyed spending our 40th anniversary there. Would definitely stay again if we visited Kauai.
From the bed to the recliners, this cottage is one of the most comfortable places we’ve ever stayed. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed, no rice cooker though. Plenty of space and so peaceful. There is a rip tide that you need to be aware of. The beach is beautiful and we really enjoyed snorkeling around the big rocks and fishing. It’s nice that a landline is provided as our cell service wasn’t great. We’d love to come back and stay more than a week. It’s our new favorite place!
If you are looking to relax, enjoy the beach, and get away from it all, this is the place. Great communication with hosts. Everything you need is at the property. Highly recommended!
The property is stunning! Secluded but also good beach access A lot of good information from the host. The only problem we encountered was the non working oven. With everything else so carefully explained, it would have been nice to have a heads up about that. Thanks to Suzi for answering me quickly once I questioned it!
The place was great. Quiet and had everything I needed for some alone time. Just a short walk from the beach. Centrally located for my needs with groceries and restaurants close by. I would easily stay here again.
Great place to stay on the beach. Great snorkeling in the Summer. The wooden interior and Hawaiian decor are very homey and comfortable. We would stay here again and suggest it to anyone who enjoys spending their time on the beach.
Love the property- so private and quiet- with a short walk to a near empty beach!

About the host
Hosted by Bob and Suzi Nakea
Nakea Kauai Vacation rentals offers three properties for rent, a one bedroom ocean bluff condo at Sealodge in Princeville (Kai Nani), a three bedroom beachfront home (Hale Kai) and a one bedroom beachfront cottage (Punana Aloha). The latter two are both located at the secluded end of incredible Anini Beach. All three properties are owned and lovingly cared for by Bob Nakea and his daughter Suzi. Bob and Suzi are native Hawaiians whose family's roots on Kauai go back to the 1800's. No attention to detail on the properties is overlooked, and each home is furnished with the comfort of its guests foremost in mind.
Why they chose this property
In the North Shore's idyllic setting you can: swim, surf; sunbathe, scuba dive or snorkel, wind surf (with rental boards and lessons available at Anini Beach Park), go shore fishing, book a deep water charter; beach comb, go horseback riding at nearby stables, hike the island's awesome trails, enjoy gourmet dining, whale watch, take a Na Pali Coast boat tour or a sunset sailing cruise in Hanalei Bay, book a helicopter tour of fabulous Waimea Canyon, play tennis, enjoy worldclass golfing, drive around the island and take in the sights, or just simply lie back and bask in the simple glory of being in one of earth's most naturally beautiful and peaceful places.
What makes this property unique
Punana Aloha's location almost at the dead end of Anini Road (1/5 mile from where the paved road ends and the sand and gravel road begins), where there is only a single row of homes along the beach, means that our guests enjoy quiet and privacy not found along most of the rest of Anini . The protecting reef (one of the largest in Hawaii) assures that the waves break far out and not on the shore, and the calm shoreline and shallow waters make the area in front of the house ideal for swimming and snorkeling most of the year (except during periods of high winter surf).
