Rental Details
Property Overview
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.

This is the perfect place for a couples getaway!!!
Cottage was outstanding! Great privacy and host communicated exceptionally well!
This location and home were perfect for our honeymoon. Owners were very easy to communicate with, and everything was set up so nicely for our stay. Thank you for the hospitality!
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.
A beautiful location with a rustic and peaceful home base. The steps up into the bathroom and bedroom can be a bit tricky if you’re not paying attention. Great spot for hoeymooners and someone who appreciates peace and tranquility.
This place was a little piece of heaven! Just as described! The perfect place for our little family of three to enjoy vacation time! You won’t get a better location! Steps to the beach with great snorkeling! It’s well equipped! We enjoyed the paddle boards and beach supplies! Can’t wait to return! Host was attentive to our needs! Thank you for sharing this gem with travelers! Best sunsets and best outdoor showers!
Property is well cared for and has lots to offer! Property manager communicates promptly and works to make sure your needs are met, they worked with us so that we could use the beach chairs after our checkout time. Would def go back!!!
A lovely place. Wonderful hosts. Just so beautiful. A short walk to a very swimmable beach. Paradise!!!
A more charming little place may not exist on Earth.
If you want a totally relaxing beach experience then check out the Anini Reef Beach Cottage. It is as advertised, a few short steps from the beach, not a lot of other people around and conveniently close to Princeville and Hanalei.The Anini Reef Beach cottage is perfect for two people; fitting in more might be “tight”. The cottage is decorated in a cozy style with lots of fun “nick nacks” placed in various places (look around to find them!). Keeping the windows open allows for the “white noise” of the ocean; the waves will accompany you as you fall asleep. The kitchen is small but very functional with a coffee maker, convection oven, microwave and toaster. Poke around in the cabinets to find dishes, cleaning supplies, etc. The bathroom is well appointed with a stall shower (great water pressure and temp) and a fan to keep the moisture out of the room.The bedroom is located at the back of the cottage and includes a ceiling fan (with a light) as well as an air conditioner. Just off the bedroom is the laundry room with a state of the art washer and dryer which is great to use for towels and bathing suits.The cottage comes equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. You will need to rent your own snorkel gear. Most importantly, prior to arrival, read all the instructions/information sent by the team at Mana Kauai Island Vacations. We worked with Joanne and she provided outstanding customer service.
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.
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.
My wife and I have come to Kauai every year in different properties ,this boat house is the most beautiful we ever been, the location steps to the water is amazing, Jimmy the manager of as very helpful and friendly ..we are looking for come back n hopefully next year
My wife and I are not resort people. We like a bit more adventure so when we found this cottage, we knew it was perfect. Neat and tidy like a ship’s cabin, it has everything you need and nothing you don’t. It’s away from the hotels and resorts but close enough to pop in and grab a bite or run to the store. Oh, and the beach is 20 steps from the front door. Anini beach isn’t crowded and seems to be where the locals come. The beach is protected and always calm. You can do a little snorkeling here, the reef is shallow, but great place for beginners. We can’t say enough about this magical boathouse other than we will be coming back.
Location was great. Easy drive to towns and restaurants. Peace and quiet at the end of the road on Anini Beach . Would return .
We had a great time. A great spot, great host, and a setting out of movie. For a secluded getaway on the north shore this place is terrific
This rental is amazing! The boathouse is charming and has everything you need and the yard and gardens are beautiful. You are steps away from Anini beach, which in our opinion is the best beach on the island 🙂
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!
We couldn't have loved this property more. It is a perfect little home just steps from the beach. Like most Hawaiian homes, it doesn't have air conditioning, but it has well-screened windows, so we slept with them open at night. It is clean and well-appointed with a comfortable bed. Most importantly, it is on a secluded road well away from most people visiting Anini Beach. Some early mornings and evenings we had the beach to ourselves, but we were always two of maybe 10 or 12 at the most. The home included beach chairs and towels, and Stephanie provided us with some excellent recommendations for hikes and other activities. Internet is spotty in the immediate area, so we were also thankful for the strong wifi. We are already dreaming of how we can get back to this beautiful property as quickly as possible.
