A true haven for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding, this beautiful, three-bedroom (plus loft) home enjoys an unbeatable location mere steps from Anini Beach and the largest coral reef in the state of Hawaii.
This two-story home sits right on Anini Road with a flat, sandy, dedicated beach access point just across the street. The house's name - Kai Malie, meaning 'calm sea' - perfectly reflects the serene, lagoon-like conditions that Anini Beach is known for among families, swimmers, and snorkelers year-round.
Inside, find a freshly upgraded space that epitomizes the island lifestyle. The main living area sits beneath a vaulted ceiling and is illuminated through a wall of windows overlooking swaying palms and the expansive, wrap-around deck. Prepare your morning Kona coffee in the well-equipped kitchen, use the provided suite of appliances to whip up full-course meals, or step outside to sear some fresh seafood on the gas grill. Sit down together at the dining table for eight or gather outside on the furnished, wrap-around deck with tables and chairs for up to eight as well. The front lanai, which is covered for rainy days, features a partial view of the ocean and a hammock for afternoon naps.
In the afternoons and evenings, retreat upstairs in the loft to choose a book from the shelves, watch TV, or simply survey the tropical landscape extending southward. When it's time to turn in, you'll find the three bedrooms in their own corners of the house, with each featuring a sliding glass door that connects to the deck.

Our family holiday couldn’t have been better. It’s hard to find the right adjectives describing the awesome week we had: sublime, joyous, vivacious and relaxing all at the same time. My grandchildren had a blast running around the veranda, and then playing keep-away and hide-and-seek on the huge lawn. And of course there’s the beach! Just a few hundred yards stroll and you're there. Perfect beach for young ones; shallow and warm. The house and all it had to offer were perfect. We want to go back!

The location of the house is everything that is promised. The house is very close to Anini Beach, which is a wonderful snorkeling beach with lots of turtles. The house has a great lay-out with room for our family of introverts to get some privacy. We really loved everything on the wrap-around deck, especially the hammock! There were a lot of geckos inside and outside, which were wonderful. The property is very large with lots of beautiful vegetation including many coconut and fruit trees.
Now for the not-so-good parts. Through VRBO and its competitors, we've stayed at 30+ locations over the years, and this stay had by far the most issues of any stay. For the first time ever, the price was changed by a large percentage after we had requested booking, before being confirmed. We probably would have chosen a different house if the higher price had been shown when we submitted our request, but by the time we received the revised number the other house was no longer available. When we arrived, we found a leaky sink (not dripping faucet) to the point of losing several gallons of water a day under the sink (which we contacted the hosts who arranged to get it repaired within 2 days); this meant we spent a couple days remembering to turn off the water to the sink or emptying the big bowl we put under it every couple hours. The internet was only marginally usable with DNS problems requiring several reloads during many portions of the day, meaning it was not usable for work beyond email, something that was definitely not made clear in the listing and would have made us reconsider. Although the surfaces and floors were clean, there were spiderwebs in virtually every room. The kitchen was well-appointed but most of the cutting knives were dangerously dull.
Probably the most frustrating portion of the stay was when we lost power and the backup battery in one of the smoke detectors started to get low. It began beeping every couple minutes starting at 11pm. The smoke detector was about 15 ft off the ground with no ladder. Thankfully, the battery eventually died after about 11 hours but we had a very unpleasant night. When we contacted the host, they weren't even aware wired smoke detectors had backup batteries. Fortunately, the on-island contact did come with a ladder and fresh batteries for all of the smoke detectors the next morning.
Overall, given the significant price of the rental, we expected fewer issues. Again, though, you can't beat the location.

Wish we had stayed longer! Perfect location at Anini Beach and super close to all North Shore beaches. The house has a perfect floor plan with bedrooms at each corner and living space in the middle so there’s a bit of privacy for everyone. The full wrap around deck is perfect for coffee or just relaxing. We had two couples, 3 teens, and a ten- yr-old and all loved it. Thank you so much!

This was perfect for our trip! It allowed us all to have our own spaces but still a large communal area. The kids loved the porch and our 2 teens spent most of our down time arguing over the hammock. :) Its only a short walk to the beach and the location really can’t be beat. The only negatives are that the beds are a bit hard and it got warm in the house but we were mentally prepared since no rentals on the northside have AC. We would definitely stay here again!

The perfect home and location for our Kauai getaway.
We enjoyed sunrise on Anini beach (sea turtles swam right up to us).
The location is very convenient, close to Foodland in Princeville and the awesome restaurants and bay in Hanalei.
The house had everything you could need/expect!
Highly Recommend!

In general, we had a very lovely experience. The house is spacious and comfortable - if a little bit worn out. Loved the wrap around porch and easy access to the beach. Swimming in the waters surrounded by the reef is the best - calm, warm, clear water. Couldn't be better. Owners need to remove notes about the availability of bikes and kayak. Bikes rusted out and unusable - kayak not there. Plenty of food staples in kitchen, along with full compliment of dishes and cookware. (Coffee grinder did not work.) Caretaker quick to respond to a couple of issues about screen door and broken wheel on garbage receptacle. In general, a wonderful place to stay and relax.

My family (2 adults, 5yo, 2yo) stayed for a week in mid July and absolutely loved it. I was worried about it getting too hot but with fans on and windows open, it was never too warm. The beach is right across the street (2 min walk) and the reef there keeps the waves calm so it was perfect for the kids to play. Anini beach view is simply amazing. My only minor complaint is that the mattresses were not super comfortable.
