Charming Anahola Studio Cabin ~ Short Walk to Beach

What an amazing little cabin! My daughter and I love nature and staying in non-touristy places and this was just the perfect place. Diana the hostess provided beach chairs, an umbrella, a perfect little kitchen, and such a cozy porch. We had breakfast smoothies, juices and açaí bowls down the street each day and went off to explore each day! We explored Waimea Canyon and Salt Pond beach one day and the north coast two other days. Goat yoga is next door so we loved driving by and seeing the goats to / from “home” each day. The outdoor shower was a treat and the roosters helped us get an early start each day! The mosquitos came out at night but as long as we kept the doors closed we were just fine indoors thanks to the screens. I would definitely stay here again when I come back one day to this beautiful island!

This is our second time to Kauai and our second stay at this piece of paradise. If you are wanting to immerse yourself in this beautiful island this is truly the best place to stay! The sounds, animals, the nature, and beauty cannot be beat! Dianna is an amazing host and this place is a true gem. If you get the opportunity to book here don’t pass it up! We hope to stay again when we are back!!

Our stay was outstanding. Location was incredible. Would certainly stay here again when I return to Kauai. The cabin was compact but had everything we needed and more. View was breathtaking.

We loved our stay at Diana’s cabin. It was a great place to retreat to after long days of exploring the island. It is not a resort property which we loved. We got a flavor of how the locals live. We would stay there again if we ever make it back to Kauai. Fantastic scenery!

This is a secret hideaway in a jungle setting but only blocks from the main highway. Being centrally located between South and North coasts it makes for easy travel to either side of the island. Near Kapa'a where shopping is close by is a bonus. Walk to the beach took us about 20 minutes but the beach is not crowded and has picnic tables for just sitting in the shade and enjoying the view. If you are looking for a place that is quiet, secluded and has the true Hawaiian feel this is it. This was our 5th trip to Kauai so we just wanted to sit and enjoy the Aloha spirit of the island. This gave us that peace, we never even turned on the TV just listened to the birds, enjoyed the view of the sleeping giant and even saw a wild pig on several nights cruise through the yard. It was just what we needed to unwind and relax. We ventured out for the farmers markets and music/art fairs which were plentiful and met several very nice locals. While the kitchen is small it is well appointed and we just loved the outdoor shower...made it easy to shower off before entering the home. Our host was available via phone anytime we needed her and this is a true local owned property so it is their homeland and the pride of ownership shows. The land is well kept and she respects your privacy and tries hard not to be seen unless you need her. This was our best visit to Kauai and we will definitely book with Diana again. Mahalo nui loa!

This cottage is in a peaceful, serene location with beautiful viewsnof mountains and lush trees and plants. The space was clean with lovely decorations and evertyhing needed for a stay. Diana was a gracious host and went well beyond to provide information and coordination when my travel timeline changed!

This was true paradise with incredible views. Ive always wanted to stay in Anahola its beautiful and this was the place to experience it. Its like being in the jungle absolutely incredible, the walk was mesmerizing to a beautiful beach. They have all amenities you need for the beach. the birds songs are beautiful the drive from the road to the house is fun. Its was a dream place to stay i cant express enough how people should stay at this dream scape. Loved it. Will always stay here if available.truly a gem

Awesome host, very quiet and secluded property

Host was flexible and responsive. We appreciated the charm of this rustic cabin and that all basic necessities were available, including beach stuff:). Also has the best outdoor shower, truly! You must be ok with nature being a part of your experience; chickens, geckos and mosquitoes. We made friends with them all, except mosquitoes, there was Off! For that

We absolutely loved this cozy cabin in Anahola! The shower is wonderful, the full kitchen is super thoughtfully designed and appointed, and the bedroom and desk were perfect for our working vacation. Thanks to Diana for her hospitality and we are grateful that we could say hello to Waiwai and Coco on our walks to Anahola beach.

Great place!

Kind host, lovely outdoor shower, comfortable stay that was both off the beaten path and really well located to get to all the places we wanted to explore could not have asked for a better place to spend a few days on the island! The palm tree grove, blooming orchids everywhere, and beach within walking distance (20 min) were highlights

All of the above. Loved it!

This cabin is a hidden gem!! I would highly recommend staying here! It will not disappoint.

really cool cabin with a nice layout. Perfect for a couple's getaway. We really loved the private hot outdoor shower, and the kitchen nearby but not right in the bedroom. Location was also great. Easy drive to Kapaa or up north to Hanalei area.

The location was beautifully private. The kitchen had everything I needed and the whole cottage was well stocked for living, and the beach. The bed was comfortable, and the sheets were super soft. This place was ideal for my solo retreat, relaxing and warm. I enjoyed many slow mornings sipping coffee on the porch, and enjoying the sunshine in the afternoon. Driving to anywhere on the island is easy from this location, and beautiful spots are all around. I can't wait to visit again!

This was a peaceful accommodation surrounded by nature on a farm I enjoyed competing with the wild chickens for fallen mangoes and chilling on the front porch the host was also very friendly Excellent

Love our stay! The cabin was just perfect. Diana was so great, prompt to response and giving us clear directions. Iyt was definitely a slice of paradise. I love the beautiful huge yard/garden with clear view to the King Kong mountain, can never get tired of it. Love the sound of birds & chickens . I already miss the mango trees, they are so sweet! I wish I can stay longer, and hope to come back. Thank You Diana for sharing such a lovely place to your guests :)

I absolutely loved my stay! This is the only place I will stay for any future visits! This was the most peaceful and beautiful spot I’ve ever seen and my host was the best and sweetest human! With much love from Texas!!

The cabin was cozy, clean, and welcoming. Bedding was spotless. Beautiful property with great fruit trees. Kind and thoughtful hostess. It got very hot inside during the day, worth mentioning. Also shower water was very cool, so if it had been colder that may have been a little uncomfortable. Great relaxing location! And very private.

What beautiful land! Mahinani's farm was the perfect stay for our first time Kauai. The beauty of Anahola and having Kalalea Mountain at our doorstep left us grounded every morning. Diane set the space up perfectly and made our check-in and check-out process as smooth as possible. My partner and I would wake up with big smiles on our faces with the morning chorus of chickens and roosters. Can't recommend this stay enough

Excellent location & property. Loved our stay.

Awesome place to stay! Nice and quiet right in the middle of nature! Definitely would book again!

we very much enjoyed our stay - it was peaceful and beautiful and warm and welcoming.

Great place to stay. It was close by a lot of our activities we had planned. The close walk to the beach was a bonus to us.

We loved the peacefulness! The coconuts trees swaying, the mango trees, the geckos, outdoor shower and absolutely adorable kitchenette and porch! The porch by far was ourFavorite spot! The chickens were everywhere and we had our own standoff with the resident rooster who thought we lived being serenaded at 2 and 4…we agreed to his song as long as it wasn’t under the bedroom window and he complied!The goats from the neighbors goat yoga greeted us we came and went making us feel special.The art work in the cabin is amazing . The bed and linens were perfect!If you are looking for a true taste of Kauai without the tourist vibe this is your spot! We hated to leave!!!Kassie and Chris WaibelMahalo Diane! Appreciate you and your space!

We stayed for five nights and the accommodations were great. Directions to get there were fabulous with a map! Cabin was great for the 2 of us, plenty of room, bed was comfortable, kitchen had all we needed to cook breakfast everyday. The outdoor shower is a Hawaiian staple and very fun. They also included a washer and laundry line which was great for handling salty swimwear.I will definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay…magical cabin in paradise

Beautiful, cozy, clean, quiet. Exactly what I needed for my stay.

Most tranquil and relaxing stay. The host, Diana was wonderful and had every detail covered. We can't wait to be back.

Yep, there's a reason this little cabin has such good reviews. It's AWESOME! Beautiful property in a convenient location for exploring the island. It had everything we needed, and felt so private and secluded. We loved the outdoor shower. Definitely remember to bring earplugs for the roosters and bug spray for the mosquitos. We enjoyed watching the anoles and geckos. We would 100% stay here again. Thank you so much Diana!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was cozy, comfortable, and clean. The location was peaceful and secluded, but not too far from town. The cottage had everything we needed, and Diana welcomed us upon check-in. We will definitely be back!

This is an amazing and relaxing location to explore all the island has to offer. Within 10-15min drive to restaurants and grocery stores. The unit even comes with a cooler, and beach chairs. Also if you enjoy yoga there is a place next door. Would book again if my travels lead me back to Kauai.

We were looking for a place off the beaten path and this cottage was perfect! Great for catching the sunrise on the east side of the island!

Stayed here while visiting family also on the island. It was perfect for my needs- only really here to sleep and shower. It's too far from amenities and too far from the beach to be a main jumping off point. Road was a little daunting driving rental car though.

It was a nice quiet property!

We had a wonderful stay on the beautiful property! The place was very thoughtfully designed for a studio and had everything we needed. The outdoor shower with orchids was a highlight of each day after coming home! The porch was perfect to sit on and drink our morning coffee and plan our day. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed sleeping with the windows open and the fans blowing, it was very airy and peaceful feeling. The roosters (wild all over the island) are insane and crow throughout the night so if you are a sensitive sleeper I would recommend ear plugs and/or some sort of sleep aid. I am so happy we stayed here and will definitely return when I can! Thank you!!

Weather was bad and the power was off and they were accommodating to make our trip comfortable

We absolutely loved Diana’s place! Quiet & simple. Very beautiful! Host was very pleasant and accommodating during our stay. Very memorable

We absolutely loved our stay, property was private, neat, clean and all we wanted. Diana was so informative, had everything easy to communicate with and so very helpful. I could not say enough about how wonderful this property is!

We enjoyed being at the farm after a week in Poipu. Did need earplugs to sleep as there was a rooster that like to sound off outside the window around 3 AM. You'll want some bug spray as there are mosquitos. They didn't bother me all that much but my wife sufffered a bit. The bed was comfortable and we made breakfast every morning in the kitchen. We also enjoyed the outdoor shower. I would stay again but not sure I could convince my wife.

It was exactly as advertised - quirky, quaint and quiet. We loved the outdoor shower and the bed was comfortable. It was a very central location. We might even miss the roosters.

Us nature folks loved this property -- it was clean, had a lovely outdoor shower, and Diana was great to work with. I would come back in an instant and stay for as long as possible.

My husband and I spent 7 nights at the Anahola Cabin the 3rd week of October. It was SO different from the other 2 places we stayed on this trip. You knew you were in Hawaii, for sure! It was a good location for the outings we did and a nice beach was not far from the cabin. We loved the front porch! Great for morning breakfast, reading, listening to the evening rain and enjoying cocktails. The kitchen set up was great. We really appreciated the beach supplies. No need to set your alarm, the roosters took care of that! The bed was very comfy and the outside shower was awesome! We really enjoyed our stay!

Property was beautiful and just as described. Diana was helpful and friendly and so were her 2 dogs. Her property was nestled away on her farm in among trees and bushes, very private and quite.,except for the roosters, lol. This was our first time to Kauai and we couldn't be happier that we picked her place. The location was perfect for exploring the island. The cabin was clean and just as described. Can't wait to come back and visit again.

Beautiful venue! Only wish we had more time to relax in the cabin rather then driving around.

Such a charming cottage. It was the perfect base to explore the island during the day, come home and take a hot shower OUTSIDE, then relax on the front porch with a good book for the rest of the evening! Diana was a delight and made sure I had everything I needed.

Perfect Hawaiian experience

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. It was in a location that made us feel more like locals than tourists; it is a simple place but nice! If you are looking for a resort type vibe this is not your place, but if you want a quaint little cabin feel that is close to nature (geckos, bugs, and dropping coconuts included), you won’t regret staying here! Diana was a great host and replied to questions quickly. Highly recommended!

This property was amazing, just what we were looking for and more. Awesome sitting porch, outdoor shower, beach gear, and super comfy bed and linens. Owners provide that extra touch that make it so special. Thanks so much for having us Diana!
