Hale Anu Keanu: Serene Garden Getaway w/ AC & Hot Tub

Such a lovely home! We had a total of 7 adults (ages 18-58) sharing this oasis & it was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet & it is a wonderful location. Walking distance to Queen’s Bath was a huge plus, literally just down the street! We absolutely loved the atmosphere/environment; the gorgeous yard is so lush. Being able to enjoy both the back & front yards with patio/lanai areas for sunrise & mountain views was amazing as well as the hot tub for relaxing after our daily excursions. We were visited by beautiful cardinals as well as the local roosters/chickens that are around the island, ear plugs are good if you are not into the roosters…but we were fine with them. For the inside of the home, the A/C was useful for our time of year, the windows that surround the living area really showed off the beauty of the home as well as the outdoor scenery. For not so hot months, the abundance of windows with screens would be enough to keep the house cool & comfortable. The house was very clean, appliances all in great working order, bathrooms were tidy and stocked well. There are plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, even a couple of surf boards, lots of sand toys & water gear. The proximity is an easy to drive to the nearby attractions like Hanalei Bay, Tunnels Beach (snorkeling was a must @ Tunnels, sea turtles were hanging out with us for a bit and lots of pretty fish). Surfing and boogie boarding at Kealia Beach was epic. We recommend this home & would definitely book again.

This was one of the most beautiful places I've stayed. I loved the house - it was like living in a botanic garden with gorgeous plants all around and windows. Comfortable beds and furniture. Central location to everything. Good management. Absolutely a dream. We loved it. We would go back.

Property was clean, spacious, well stocked. Perfect for our group of 4 adult couples. I must say, though, all the pre-stay emails and requests for information from the property management company was annoying and overreaching. They made it seem like it was something necessary or required to provide flight information, car rental information, insurance information, names, addresses, emails and phone numbers of everyone in our group, etc. Come to find out, it's all unnecessary. Seems like they're fishing for information they can then sell. We pushed back a little and didn't provide it and our stay went fine.

This was a fantastic place to stay and walking distance to Queens Bath. It was also close to all the other beaches as well. We had a fabulous time.

The house was perfect for our family vacation and the host had great communication! 10/10 would recommend

What a wonderful home! A great location- lots of walking trails, paths and exploring! Close to grocery runs! And easy to drive to beaches! Home included lots of beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs!! Gorgeous backyard and patio for early morning coffee w friends! The home was fresh and clean and so much space! We had 2 families stay and it was perfect!

The house and neighborhood were amazing for a family of 8 including 5 year old! Quiet, peaceful, comfortable and not in a neighborhood of tourists. Contact with host for house was easy and responsive. We were able to relax and really felt like we were away from everything you associate with busy everyday life. We walked to Hideaway Beach, amazing for snorkeling but a hike down to beach. We also spent a lot of family time at Hanalei Bay and beaches which were perfect for kids, surfing and spending time on uncrowded beaches. Hanalei is a really cute, small, laid back community which we really enjoyed. So much nicer than the crowded side of the island at Poipu! We have been to Kauai several times and will be back!

Loved this home!! Was sad to leave. Everything was absolutely perfect!!

The property was a great size for 6 adults. We had 2 couples and 2 singles in the group, so everyone had their own room and bath (the 2 singles shared the 3rd full bath). The house was well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill which gave us great flexibility with mealtimes. The hosts provided beach gear (towels, chairs, snorkel equipment, boogie boards), so the group was well prepared for multiple days at North Shore beaches. The hot tub in the back allowed a relaxing end to the day. Cooling options for the house included window AC units or the louvers that allowed the trade winds to ventilate. Princeville is a quiet neighborhood with the typical Kauai Roosters that announce the arrival the morning! This is a great property that is well located to serve as home base for the North Shore attractions. Thank you for the great stay!

We loved the house (Hale Anu Keanu), and the location in Princeville was nice and close to Hanalei Bay where we went every day to surf and relax on the beach. The house is also close to some good hikes and there are a bunch of good restaurants a short drive away. Our family really enjoyed eating outside on the lani and soaking in the hot tub in the back yard. Certainly a place we would love to visit again!
