NEW 4BR Oceanfront Home with Hot Tub & Theatre

The home was good overall. The location is very convenient for getting around the island, and the hosts were responsive and left some nice goodies for us at check-in. The house itself feels a bit dated and worn, with an unusual layout. The main living space is upstairs, which includes the kitchen, living room, dining area, deck with jacuzzi, and the primary bedroom/bathroom. One challenge is that the only TV and bathroom on this level are located inside the primary bedroom, so access requires going through the bedroom or heading downstairs. The private deck off the primary bedroom wasn’t usable as had no furniture and was dirty. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and utensils. The living room setup was less comfortable; the couch had very thin cushions and sat quite low to the ground, and without a TV in that area, it wasn’t ideal for gathering and relaxing but it did have a very nice view of the ocean.The remaining bedrooms are located downstairs. The sofa beds are in the theater room, which felt a bit cramped, and this room is situated at the back of the house without an ocean view.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautiful. But the dogs next door are horrible. There are at least a dozen dogs next door that bark at all hours of the day or night. And when one goes off then they all would. During our stay the owner got there water bill and had the agent come and investigate the possible leak and shut the water off for a short period of time. A text or notice would have been nice before arrival. At least Myra was able to troubleshoot the master suites bed issue. It seems they have put a king mattress on a queen frame. So if it’s not positioned properly one is rolling out of bed! She was always able to get the hot guy out to clean the hot tub that was not clean upon our arrival. Then the ac went out in one of the downstairs bed rooms. Besides that the house is what the other reviews have stated.

Great location- authentic Hawaiian experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The beach is out the backyard - fabulous. The waves, sand and provided beach gear (umbrella, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, wagon) were great! The view, proximity to the beach and sound of the waves were all perfect. Unfortunately, around 6:00-7:00am the next door neighbor's nine dogs woke up and the howling and barking began. It would quieten down after few minutes, but intermittently happen again throughout the day. That, combined with the roosters (an island staple), which began crowing around 5:00 a.m. meant that no one slept in. And then toward the middle/end of our weeklong stay, we saw a mouse in the laundry room and another in the kitchen. The management company was very prompt in bringing over mousetraps, one of which was successful. Thankfully my husband was there to deal with the dead mouse, so that chore did not fall to me. The master bedroom is open to the living/kitchen area, so unless everyone was asleep or out of the house, there was noise. Also, be aware, there are steps down into the master and then up to the master shower and toilet room. And one last thing - the bedrooms have individual A/C units and can be kept comfortable, however there is no A/C in the kitchen/living room. Early morning cool breeze feels good, but it just gets warmer as the day goes on.

Plenty of room to accommodate our 3 families of 10 people. Kids loved the theater room, beautiful views from the back, plenty of beach accessories, distance to beach is perfect, hot tub is a nice added touch. Location is a nice distance between north and south destinations. We drove to Kapa'a for most of our dinner meals, which is 10 minutes away. We stocked up on breakfast and lunch items at Safeway before coming to house. Things to consider; you are mixed in with the locals so it's not a resort area. Yes, there is a sketchy area of people living outside in their cars, yes the chickens crowing and dogs barking are loud, yes locals drive on the beach. Our only complaint is the house does not have AC in the kitchen and dining area and it's super hot in July. We did request extra box fans and they were delivered to house quickly. They helped to blow around the hot air but it was still much cooler outside on the lanai and in the basement. If you are looking for a local experience away from the hustle and bustle, this is your place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is absolutely beautiful! Private beach, perfect beachfront view and access, well equipped with A/C in master and fans throughout, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, hot tub on patio, beach chairs and boogy boards. The only downfall is the animal noises all day and night that wake you from sleep! (Chickens dogs and cats)

As a licensed property manager, I was shocked by the misrepresented and unsafe conditions of this property. It is located just 50 yards from a homeless encampment and 30 yards from a junkyard — none of which were disclosed. The exterior was overrun with feral cats, and pet dander made its way into the home, severely affecting my 4-year-old who has a documented allergy. We were greeted by a 5-inch cane spider on night one, and there was an active hornets’ nest outside. The home showed clear signs of neglect — it hadn’t been deep cleaned or pest-treated in what appears a long time. The landscaping was overgrown and untended. The listing photos were outdated and did not reflect the property's current condition. Neighboring dogs barked day and night, and vehicles raced up and down the beach, creating a hazard. Most concerning, the home is in Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL), reserved for Native Hawaiians, where infrastructure is limited — something that was not disclosed. We did not feel safe and left early. This listing should not be allowed to remain active without full transparency and remediation.

Our stay here was exactly what we were looking for. With 2 infants under 2 years old, having the beach right there and a hot tub was the perfect set-up. The house was ready for our arrival, clean, and easily accessible. The downstairs rooms really drown out the roosters in the morning and the neighbor's dogs allowing the babies to get a good night sleep. The upper room was a little nosier but with the box fan blowing it really helped with the noise. The roosters start making noise about 5:30AM, but that's just a common thing in Kauai so there were no surprises there. We will defiantly stay here again. We cooked most of our meals at the house only going out for dinner a few times. The host was very helpful setting us up for a Luau and helping us contact a rental company for cribs. Highly recommend this house!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at Anahola Beach House. There was plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and two kids. The movie theater room was a big hit. The beach chairs and towels were nice to take down to the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better location being steps to the beach. Just a short walk down the beach is an inlet to the river and it’s great for the littles to play without the waves. The kitchen was stocked pretty well. We did have to buy a pan since there wasn’t a decent pan to make pancakes. The grill and the hot tub on the patio are great! The neighbor has quite a few dogs which is no fault of the rental house but it does get a bit annoying when they all bark at the same time. The only thing I would change if I could would be a more comfortable sectional sofa upstairs that more people could sit on. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and loved the beautiful ocean view!

Great Location & view. Easy parking for our 3 cars. Plenty of room. Well appointed kitchen. Walk to uncrowded beach, but watch out for locals driving on beach. Comfortable beds. Lots of beach stuff, chairs, umbrellas, toys, towels. Neighbor is friendly, has 5 dogs, mostly quiet, but occasional short barking frenzy.

Our family of 12 was very comfortable here! Loved to location!

We just loved our stay here! Fit all of our needs and it was just beautiful!
