Punana Aloha, which means 'Love Nest' in Hawaiian, is a one-bedroom, one-bath hideaway on incomparable Anini Beach. Constructed of natural cedar throughout, this cottage is the perfect choice for a vacation to simply 'get away from it all.' Restricted to a maximum of two guests, the cottage is ideal for honeymoons or anniversaries.
Located on Kauai's verdant North Shore, Anini Beach is a haven for the traveler who wants to experience the unspoiled natural beauty of Hawaii. Protected by a large outer reef, the quiet waters of Anini are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, and sunning.
Follow Anini Road almost to the spot where it dead ends at Anini Stream (the last quarter mile is unpaved and may be a little bumpy) and you will find Punana Aloha on a beautifully landscaped half acre of land fronting the ocean. The ocean view is unobstructed, and your toes will touch the sand of the beach less than 75 yards from the front door.

First off I’d like thank the owner, Suzi. Very responsive and helpful.
PROS: house is secluded and very private. You have the beach directly in front of the house and the house is nestled in the trees. Really beautiful.
CONS: located in a questionable area. Seemed to be a lot of homeless campers camping on Anini Beach and in their cars. Many walk down the dirt road towards the house and are living out of their cars. Not a big deal, we were just surprised to see this. Definitely not just your local surfers.
The house is dated. Needs a new bed frame, new fans (they barely worked), new drapes (they were dirty and moldy). The oven broke our second night. Suzi was great and got there the next day, but we didn’t have an oven for the rest of our stay. We could have pushed for her to get a new one, but we really just wanted some privacy.
House needs more amenities. Kleenex, more towels, blankets, pens. The beach chairs were rusted and old.
The furnishings were a little uncomfortable. Needs a new couch. This house has so much potential but it just wasn’t super cozy for us. As mentioned, the owner is great and the location is okay, but the house was a huge turn off for us.
I would like to mention that Suzi did give us a 10% refund for the oven inconvenience.

Incredible location and facility. Perfect for two. Behind the house is dense jungle. Front yard opens to the ocean maybe 70 yards away. Calm warm ocean. The pictures for the listing don’t do the property justice. It looks good in the pictures but wait till you stand there in person. There is nothing more the property needs. You will enjoy it.

This house at the end of Anini road is very special. If you want a wonderful house for a peaceful vacation this is the one. Being from Louisiana I was a little nervous about no AC in July but it was no problem. The house cools down nicely and no AC was never an issue. Suzi is great and checked in with us a couple times when there was a tropical storm passing, she even went out of her way to go purchase flashlights and drop them off at the house in case the electricity went out.
The house has just about everything you would need, two tommy bahama beach chairs, a small cooler, an assortment of spices in the kitchen, the washer and drier are awesome. So from the house to the view to Anini beach to the hosts everything is perfect! Thanks Bob and Suzi ... we hope to return to Kauai one day and we definitely hope to stay at Punana Aloha again!

We had an amazing stay. Suzi was so responsive and helped us with things to do to make our trip complete. The house was very clean in a great location. Less than a minute you are on a beautiful secluded beach. We would definitely stay here again!

What a great place! At the end of Anini beach road the house is quiet and set back on a hill. Bed is comfortable, kitchen well stocked, nice porch to sit on and great breezes. You can snorkel off the beach right out front. Suzi came by and welcomed us the first day and to answer any questions. We were out and about every day. Stop at Costco or the Safeway in Kaapa to stock up. You'll need to bring or rent snorkel gear, everything else is on hand. The washer dryer were great as this was our second week/island. The last .2 miles of the road as mentioned is quite rough. You can certainly rent a higher ground clearance vehicle but after the first day we got pretty good at picking our way along very slowly with a standard nidsize
Overall what a great spot and we had an awesome trip. We were so lucky to find and book ths place
