As one of the more spacious homes on Anini Beach, ’Hale La'Au Pohaku' (House of Wood and Rock) offers 2,300 square feet of indoor floor space, plus 500 square feet of two covered lanais. This home sits just 75 steps from the ocean with a private path to the beach right out the front door. The large open great room comes with Koa wood floors, doors, and cabinets, as well as a 24-foot-high, custom Hawaiian wood, cathedral ceiling with skylights, plus marble and granite finishes.

Each bedroom 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 contributes to amazing vacation pictures. The front and rear lanais have beautiful, partial ocean and mountain views while the landscaping features an abundance of tropical plants and flowers that attract birds and wildlife. The large master suite has a king-size bed and a marble bathroom with twin vanities and a luxurious shower. Each of the two over-sized bedrooms has direct access to separate lanais through screened doors. Each includes a queen-size bed and a daybed with an additional twin mattress, 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 watching the palm trees and ocean waves or enjoy a private lanai in the back.

Whether a group of couples, friends or a larger family group, this home provides all the amenities after a long day at the beach or exploring. As you venture out, feel free to use the home’s coolers, beach towels, beach wagon, paddle boards, 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 keep clean. The home is fully-equipped with on-premise parking, bamboo linens, beach towels, barbecue, games, sightseeing and other books, DVD players and select videos, cable TVs and free WiFi allows for AppleTV, Netflix, or Hulu downloads for late night movies.

Wonderful week

Our family spent a lovely week staying at this property. Absolutely loved the super short walk to the beach. Anini beach was great. Shallow and warm, good snorkeling and we watched lots of sea turtles. Home is a dated—fun to daydream and discuss possible updates.

Amazing place for our large family vacation

This place was perfect. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to relax and make meals. We had a party of 7 and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Great outdoor sitting areas and the kids loved the jacuzzi. Just across the street from Anini beach, where even the locals were jealous of the house's proximity! This is "the beach" to go to according to the locals if you have kids, want to snorkel or paddleboard or just relax on the beach. The kids went snorkeling every morning to see sea turtles and fish. Also, very close to Hanalei and Princeville for market and restaurant options. The north part of the island gets you away from the big resorts and "commercial" feel of Hawaii. I will try and book this property again next time we come back.

Family time

The property was beautiful and the beach location perfect for our family get together. We had a great time. The only thing that wasn't as advertised was the hot tub didn’t work. It would have felt good after a day of kayaking and hiking. I would rebook this property again.

Superior location and floor plan

Upon arrival I was disturbed by the grounds being so cluttered. There had been a storm, but it seem to be worse than that. It was cleaned up within two days. We found the bathrooms and the kitchen to be very clean, although the carpeting, the sectional, and the pillows all need a thorough cleaning. We washed pillow covers because they were disgusting.

Absolutely stunning home

Absolutely stunning home! Great location! The check-in process was a little rough from the start. We were not in receipt of the check in instructions on how to actually access the property itself. It took close to an hour going through Vrbo to reach someone to get the instructions sent to us via email. Once we got to the home the home was absolutely stunning. It was late in the evening, but the morning sun rise, highlighted exactly what the property was all about and we could’ve been any happier. Woke up to the ocean and roosters :)

Beautiful Family Vacation!

Location is perfect! We walked across the street to ‘our beach’ and daily location under a huge tree. We watched the sunset each night with a glass of wine and then went back to a very warm house. That was the one drawback. We realize we are in Kauai and AC is not the norm but it was so warm even with fans everywhere- ceiling and floor. You will need and use all the fans. We did have some days where the temperature and trade winds cooled the house. The nights were good for sleeping as it would cool down. The front lanai was our favorite spot to gather after dinner. Beds were very comfortable. Snorkeling equipment and paddle board were great to have! A few small suggestions- only found 2 kitchen towels, need more! My daughter rented a few baby items for our 4 month old grandson which is a great service available if traveling with an infant including a pack and play- THERE WAS ONE IN THE MASTER BEDROOM CLOSET! I even called Vacasa to find out if there were any baby items in the home. Please add to you list of items for this house!! Also there were 3 empty propane tanks for the BBQ so we had to cook chicken inside Friday evening. Called to request tanks and they were delivered on Sunday. Anini Beach is such a beautiful spot! Hope to return!!

Edenesque

This home is spacious, comfortable, well equipped, thoughtfully decorated and incredibly located. So many spaces for lounging - both a front deck and a back one - as well as a large family room with comfy furniture. The beds too were amazing. There was tons of beach equipment provided - everything you could want or need! The home sits directly across the street from one of the beach accesses to Anini - a gem of a beach and an ideal place for snorkeling or playing in the sand with little ones or relaxing. I highly recomment this home and hope to stay there again!

Heavenly Vacation

This was an amazing location for our family. Three children under the age of 7, a teenager, and my wife and I. We thoroughly enjoyed the home and being so close to the water. It was easy to set up a spot on the beach in the morning and go back and forth between house and beach all day. Water was great. Anini is some of the calmest water and most protected beach in Kauai. Great place for paddleboarding, seeing sea turtles, snorkeling, playing with the kids, etc. Highly recommend this home. There is an option to rent the small cottage behind the home. Would recommend that too.

Fantastic location with quirks

Walking across the street to the beach was amazing, especially since the beach is pretty secluded and we always found a shady spot to hang out. The house was beautiful and spacious, just had several quirks. Would have been nice to be told of these ahead of time instead of trial and error. Washer and dryer only worked on certain settings, no cold water at kitchen sink, screen door doesn’t close properly (mosquitoes everywhere) and bathtub jets don’t work. We also had a few other issues that were resolved, but communication was difficult since you have to go through Vacasa and not the local team. Also just a heads up there is limited to no cell phone service depending on your carrier. Wifi worked great though and we really enjoyed all the amenities the house had to offer. Vitamix, rice cooker, SUP and surf board, tons of beach chairs and snorkel gear. We were lucky to have courteous renters in the house directly behind this one so noise was not an issue. For the price, we expected a more flawless experience but that being said, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic location but no dishwasher…

The house has a fantastic location: steps from the beach!! 2 great lanais. Inside, everything you need. It is very Spacious. One problem we encountered was with the dishwasher: first time we use it, the dishes aren’t cleaned. I contact Vacasa team: very professional and I’m told someone will be there the next day and to expect a call or text message. Well nobody came, called or ever texted. So no dishwasher for us for the whole week. Upon leaving, we talked to cleaning crew who told us we would get some kind of refund, but we havent received any news of that. So bottom line, be prepared to be on your own on this one. Once again the place is super well located, is very nice, well appointed but if you have a problem, good luck. Be aware, there is no a/c. It did not really cause a problem, we were there in late October.

A Great Place To Stay and Kick Back

The house is beautiful and really well kept. There's lots of space and they have well appointed amenities. The jacuzzi tub wasn't working when we were there and that would have been a great extra benefit. However, everything else there was terrific.
