Great little house between the jungle and the beach. Couldn't be more perfect.

This house was a perfect place to chill, or spend time on the beach across the road, and a fabulous base of operations for our island adventures! Previous guests have left a lovely assortment of spices and condiments, and we contributed so check the fridge before you buy salad dressing or mayo. The local farmers markets are a great way to stock up on fresh produce. Make sure you snorkel down at the park, there are tons of turtles there!

The place was great. Quiet and had everything I needed for some alone time. Just a short walk from the beach. Centrally located for my needs with groceries and restaurants close by. I would easily stay here again.

We had a great time. We were able to seethe ocean thru the living room window and it was about a 3 minute walk to the beach. Snorkeling in the cove we saw a variety of fish and a sea turtle. Bit of a bumpy unpaved road the last 1/4 mile to the driveway entrance

This location could not be more perfect! Suzi was so helpful and responsive throughout our stay. Although, we didn’t really need to communicate much because everything was so terrific. The islands experienced a pretty big storm that caused power outages, but the house was equipped with flashlights and Suzi checked up on us to make sure we were OK. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. The beach is glorious. This was a perfect couples getaway with very few people, which made it easy to disconnect and fully enjoy our vacation! We will most certainly be staying again!

This house and its location are amazing. It is perfect for a couple’s retreat with everything we needed for a stay in paradise. Communication with the hosts was fast and flawless, and instructions and access were simple. The house comes with towels, beach chairs, beach mats, coolers, and a kitchen with new appliances. We appreciated the hose for rinsing our stuff, too.we could not have had a better spot to call home for 10 days. The house is not fancy - it has an old Hawaii feel - so if you’re looking for a super modern condo experience with AC and a hot tub (did not appeal to us in this climate lol) this might not be the place for you. Also be aware that as of now the last stretch of road before the driveway is extremely rutted - we really put our poor little rental car to the test. If you arrive in the dark or during/after rain, drive REALLY CAREFULLY & SLOWLY - no joke. But we figured it out!We are so grateful for our time in Kauai and that we got to spend it staying in this special place.

I've been coming to Kaua'i for 30 years. I used to hitchhike my way around the sleepy island, and getting down to Wanini was always a challenge but worth the trip... Truly sacred land, and to be staying directly across from where I proposed to my wife last year was particularly serendipitous.
The furnishings and provisions were dated and scant, but the stay was comfortable and whatever it may seem lacking on the inside, the view and location are simply stunning. PLEASE don't come if you don't respect and appreciate the history and culture of this place. It is truly special and deserves REVERENCE.
Maholo nui loa for the stay, and God willing... A hui hou.

If you want a getaway where you can spend all day at the beach right outside and truly feel away from it all, this is your place. Decent snorkeling right out front in protected shallow water (you do have to go out pretty far, but it felt very safe in summer), basic nice accommodations including a nice kitchen and outdoor area, but above all privacy, beauty, and steps from the ocean. We enjoyed the wildlife - lizards, frogs, roosters, crabs, community cats - the beach, the jungle, the trees, the views, and the occasional tropical rain. The only slight note is that there is no AC, but just ceiling fans and some box fans. In late August this meant a few hot, sticky humid nights, but honestly if they put in AC it would probably make this rental out of our price range. The history of this family property is also a huge plus - I feel so good that we found this and we will definitely come here again.

If you are thinking about booking this place, do it. The pictures do not do this amazing property justice. Beach views, best snorkeling, No service. It’s literally heaven on earth! . This will be a repeat property for us! Mahalo!!

Great place to stay on the beach. Great snorkeling in the Summer. The wooden interior and Hawaiian decor are very homey and comfortable. We would stay here again and suggest it to anyone who enjoys spending their time on the beach.
