Beautiful Plumeria Cottage-Anini Beach Plantation Style Home

Beautiful house. Garden was like garden of Eden with oranges, avocados, tangerines. The stream was filled with egrets and bullfrogs. This is the place to unplug and enjoy nature. Anini beach is steps away and calm a peaceful. Most relaxing vacation ever. Host was generous with towels and attentive.

Our family had a great time at Bill and Mary Ellen’s cottage. The cottage is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and a short walk to beautiful Anini Beach. Communication was great, and check in/out was a breeze. Will definitely be staying again.

A perfect place to relax and enjoy island time!

My family had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The location was perfect: a short walk to peaceful Anini Beach which made traveling with a toddler so easy. The den also easily accommodated our crib rental.

Thank you Bill and Ellen!My family had a wonderful weeks stay and cannot think of a better location. Check-in was seamless.The kitchen facilities were fine. We cooked each night. Better lighting, sharp knives and enough gas in the bbq would be ideal - otherwise there is nothing to fault. We hope to return one day.

We had a wonderful stay at Plumeria! Such a great location and Bill and Mary Ellen were excellent hosts. Everything we needed was available and the hosts were quick to respond! Overall excellent experience.

The location is great -- especially with little kids that need a calm beach. Anini Beach is the calmest on the island. Bill and Mary were both very communicative and helpful. We appreciated their generosity and support.

This is the perfect place to unwind and get in touch with what matters.

Loved the house and having the beach right across the street. Everything we needed for our stay at the beach was included and the hosts were very accommodating. We can’t wait to visit again.

For our first visit to Kauai, we couldn't have been happier with our chosen lodgings. Bill and Mary were wonderful hosts. We had a bit of a mix-up about our arrival date, but Bill was so gracious and made it work out just fine. The house is so charming and comfortable, clean and spacious. We loved waking up in the night to sound of pigs passing through the yard and waking in the morning to the sounds of the birds. Anini Beach is an easy walk from the house and the house is close enough to Kilauea and Hanalei, but not too close. Access to the west side of the island was easy when we wanted to go there, accounting for the usual Kapa'a traffic. This is the perfect home away from home for a family, and our college students loved it, and after we sent them home, it was a lovely space for my husband and I to enjoy some downtime together.

We had a great visit at Plumeria cottage. The beach is right across the street with plenty of sea turtles and snorkeling. The house was beautiful with a nice garden space and a screened in dining room that was perfect for eating or playing games. The house had plenty of amenities like spices and oils to cook with, a great grill and plenty of kitchen tools. We have two teens so it was nice they each had their own space as well. There were water toys under the house which was great to be able to take to the beach and not rent chairs, snorkeling gear, etc. The house was clean and well furnished. We are looking forward to returning!

We just finished a two-week stay at this wonderful home. The hosts, Bill and Mary are attentive. The home is well maintained. A very nice detail is the redwood flooring and window louvers. The beach is right across the street a 2-minute walk.There avocado, Mandarin, orange, orange trees, and breadfruit trees in the backyard. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place. This is a real gem

I was mostly raised in Hawaii beginning in the late 1940's. It was truly a paradise that moved at a comfortable pace. By the 1970's tourism was rampant, which changed everything. When I wanted a break I went to Kauai which was still a laid-back place.My return to Kauai this time was a great experience. I was lucky to find the Plumeria plantation house on Anini Beach on the north shore of Kauai.It magically takes you back into a beautiful tropical setting with beautiful gardens.. You can enjoy the gardens all day from the expansive lanai..The souse is spacious, and includes all amenities including two bedrooms, two baths, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of living space.I consider this place I want to return to time after time. You can't go wrong with tiis place. 5 STARS!!!

How we loved this cottage. So many porches! A prettiest beach just steps

Plumeria is a beautiful, comfortable home. It is decorated so nicely and has everything you need for your stay. Plenty of towels, beach towels, linens, kitchen items and charm. The property is lush and tropical. Fruit trees, flowers and very well maintained. The outdoor shower has amazing water pressure. Very short walk to Annini beach. A truly authentic Hawaiian experience. Thank you Mary Ellen and Bill for being the best hosts anyone could ask for.

Lovely Cottage.

This was our 4th stay, and the place is just a magical as it was 4 years ago. The new kitchen is so beautiful and the whole house has been refreshed. The yard is truly amazing. The bird song is so beautiful. We even started naming the roosters. Anini beach is prefect and so close. We will be coming back. Thank you so much. John

We loved this rental! It was a cool place with a screened in porch, outdoor shower, wrap around lanai, great bathroom, and comfy bed. We would definitely stay here again!

Cottage was nice, spacious, with well- stuffed kitchen utensils, mostly as described, in the walking distance from the beach, across the road. But If you are looking for the quiet relaxing vacation, that will not be the case. At 3 AM to 7 AM local chicken rosters scream like crazy!. They roam around, most of them do not even belong to the property. Stray rosters. I wish they were kept somewhere on the farm or eliminated like noisy pests. Neighbor’s dogs were barking on and off all night long, every night. Did I mentioned repair and remodeling going in the adjusted property? And y cannot close the windows, because there is no A/C. That said, the landlord was trying to be as helpful as he could.

Thank you Bill and Mary for letting us stay at your beautiful house! We had a wonderful vacation! Loved being able to walk to Anini beach everyday! We will be back next year!

The description and pictures do not do this place justice. I feel like it is a little hidden gem. It was much more spacious and inviting than expected. I loved the screened in patio for meals, the quiet hammock and chairs on the other side of the wrap around patio for enjoying our morning coffee and reading a book. My teenage son loved the loft bedroom. I was worried he might not like it because of privacy concerns but it was more private than excpeted and he thought it was the cutest thing. Mary Ellen was the most gracious host we have ever had. She checked in with us and provide a few extras to make sure our stay was perfect. She was very responsive to any concerns we had and made sure everything was right. I couldn't have asked for a better host. We did not get the opportunity to use the kayaks this trip due to our short stay but look forward to coming back again. Also, Anini beach really is just a short walk away (closer than we expected) and the snorkeling there is amazing. We wish we had more time to spend exploring the site.

Great stay. Will return

Better than advertised. Pictures don’t do it justice. The house and yard layout was perfect, especially for sitting on the porch with wind and rain we experienced during our trip. We cooked several meals in and had plenty of kitchen supplies.

We met owner Bill when checking in and talked with owner Mary Ellen by phone when we had a question. Both were friendly and helpful. Nice to know they are a mile away. They did not stop over but would have had we needed them. The house is airy and well designed. Loved the openness and wraparound lanai. Peaceful other than the very early frogs and roosters. Well equipped, comfortable beds, lots of beach items, good water pressure, hot showers. Short walk to Anini Beach. Traditional Hawaii home. Surrounded by lush plants and trees. Great visuals out of every window. Lots of fans. Cooled off at night. Looks much better than the VRBO photos. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at plumeria cottage. It was better than the photos. We loved the outdoor shower and beautifully landscaped property. It felt very private. The house was comfortable and well equipped. We loved seeing the ducks, chickens and geckos and hearing the crickets and bullfrogs at night. The kids loved seeing and hearing all the animals. They also enjoyed collecting oranges, which we squeezed to make orange juice. It was very idyllic. Bill was very responsive when we had trouble with the lights at one point. He also was kind enough to transport the kayaks to a very idyllic river near the house. We kayaked up to an amazing waterfall, which was my favorite activity while we were there. The location was perfect, with an easy walk across the street to a perfect swimming beach. We'll be back!

Very good

Lovely place and Anini beach is gorgeous
