We loved our stay at this beautiful home in Anahola!! It was an older home and not super fancy, but so perfect in every way for our family of 25. My husband and I came with our kids and grandkids, and all had a wonderful time. It was
The place was amazing. There was room for everyone and they had plenty of everything you need in the kitchen. The view of the beach was amazing the beach was fun to boogie board and swim. We would book this place again.
Great House with lots of room to spread out. It was a short stroll to the ocean where we watched the sunrise while having a good morning cup of coffee. The kids enjoyed playing on the beach and running from the surf. As we went on adventures away from the house we learned to get on the road before 10 AM to avoid the traffic.
The home was very spacious and clean. The view from the patio and beach is exactly what I was hoping for. The owners were easy to communicate with and gracious. I would definitely stay at this home again in the future if I returned to Kauai!
The home was huge and super comfortable, it was an older home but well taken care of, we all loved it..Lots of things for the kids to do and the beach was so close! We had a great time and are very grateful for the opportunity to stay there. The owner was great in getting back to me with any questions I had… the only drawback was that the beach was public so at night there would be cars parked there all night sometimes playing loud music
The owners provided exceptionally accurate descriptions of all aspects of the property. The many details, from places to eat to places to go, were great. There were 17 of us staying for 10 days, from 3 to 85 years old. Our 85-year-old handicapped (wheelchair bound) guest had no problems at all. Great place, great owners and a terrific vacation. Highly recommended!
I have stayed in Kauai every five years to celebrate my milestone birthdays, and also to have a family reunion with my five children et al. The island offers many unique things to do and time to just relax and read good books. I rent two vehicles so that everyone can be free to explore.
Joe and Melody have an amazing home that is perfect for large groups. I brought 6 couples, 2 single friends, 4 teenagers, and 2 toddlers. There is plenty of room for everyone. The house is fully stocked with everything you need.
We especially liked the beach that is mostly visited by locals! They were friendly, helpful, and gracious.
I highly recommend this house!
The Beach House was a perfect home for our family of 20. Each couple had their own room and bathrooms which was amazing then there were enough rooms for the family groups of children. Home came with all you need. We loved the fat tire electric bikes! We loved our stay and highly recommend this home. Memories made and hearts full. Thanks Joe and Melody for sharing your home with us.
The Mitchell Family
We were 27 family members, cousins, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters and two sets of grand parents here to celebrate a legacy from our paternal and maternal great grand parents. The house handled us all well. We lacked nothing. The owner was generous in supply of beach and water toys as well. They were very thorough in their suggestions for what would make our stay great. We made many wonderful memories. Mahalo Joe
It had been almost 5 years since we had our 8 children and their families all together. Kauai was the perfect location for this gathering of 20 people ranging from 3 yrs old to early sixties.
Everyone agreed that this house was perfect! From the sleeping arrangements to the backyard access to a perfect beach to the house being clean/comfortable/spacious and stocked with everything we needed from kitchen supplies to beach supplies. It's location is perfect as well being about halfway between Lihue and Princeville.
We loved this home, highly recommend it to others and hope to return some day!!
The Gardners
This beachfront property was everything we had hoped it would be. Plenty of room with all the necessities for our family of 16 to enjoy each others company in the common areas while giving each family their own private sleeping and bathroom space. We fell in love with Anahola beach which is largely used by locals in the area. Cars and locals camping on the beach were seen but didn’t bother us, all were friendly and respectful of others. We enjoyed freshly caught & cooked fish the “Hawaiian” way from one of those families. It was truly a dream vacation for us all in Kauai. Thank you Joe & Melody for sharing your bit of paradise with us.
We enjoyed the spacious home and easy access to the beach. Kauai is a beautiful island and we enjoyed our stay there. The house was the perfect size for our group of 15. The owners were very responsive and provided a lot of information about the house. Unfortunately, 2 of our vehicles' gas tanks were sabotaged and the gas was stolen. This certainly put a damper on our time in paradise. We were told that there is an issue with this in the area by the car rental company.
We were a large group of 19 people ranging in age from 1 to 78. This house is perfect for our needs. 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, tons of seating inside and out. If you wanted a quiet space to read, plenty to choose from. If you wanted space to have a big family dinner, dinning room table was awesome. We were on the beach in the morning to see the sunrise and on the beach at night to look at the stars. Truly an amazing house in a very spiritual area Our only complaint was that we should have booked for a longer time !! Joe and Melody were awesome to work with, Angie the cleaner was delight.
First off, the communication with Joe & Melody were so impeccably timely, understanding and kind. The moment my reservation went through I could go full force in wedding planning mode. I have been writing back and forth with them for 8 months - They were so responsive and helpful in the amount of guests to the public beach access where we also held a decent size bonfire. All our guests raved about how beautiful the house is and all its accommodations - from the bedrooms to kitchen supplies. The views of the sunset and sunrise were magical. Kauai was already my favorite island (coming from Oahu) this stay made it 100x better! Much Mahaloz to our favorite home owners💕 we are so appreciative of the support and allowance given to share in our joyous occasion!
Also, Angie the house keeper was so sweet and helpful, as well.
If you are a large family and need a place to stay I highly recommend this house. We had 17 adults and kids stay here and at no time did we feel cramped. Everyone had their own room and bed, no sleeper sofas needed. The kitchen is also well equipped for large family meals.
The beach is only 50 yds from the house. Perfect for drinking coffee and watching sunrises. There are plenty of beach accessories available for ocean fun. There is a city park only a block away with an excellent playground and a large soccer pitch. This is where we met Pua, one of the local dogs. She is very friendly and will come up to you and lay on her back so you can scratch her belly. Do so.
In my mind, the Anahola area is the perfect area. You are away from the busy touristy areas, but only 20-30 min from the Kapaa and Princeville areas if you are looking for shopping, food or just sightseeing.
Again, I highly recommend this home and would stay here again.
Joe and Melody were fantastic hosts and their house is just stunning. The home is peaceful, spacious, well stocked, centrally located and the perfect place to host an small event. We held an intimate wedding ceremony and reception and it could not have been more perfect. Basically all of our guests (all ages) were able to stay at the home and it had everything we needed. Joe was extremely communicative for over a year while I was planning and needing questions answered about the space. I was even able to coordinate a "site visit" to the home while there was a gap in bookings months prior to our stay. He treated us so well and I couldn't have dreamt up a better place to get married, truly.
The house is VERY well stocked. Previous guests leave leftovers of all kinds which I think is the right way to do a rental! make sure you see what the house has before going on your big grocery run :) Parking is strict but Joey and Melody have done a good job securing a large space for guests to park and also have alternate options that won't disturb the neighbors. There was plenty of space for our wedding vendors to come and go and have priority parking as needed. There are some critters around but thats Hawaii, no one was bothered or harmed by any. Beds are comfy, A/C works great and the seating in the main room makes for the perfect place for your group to gather. Definitely would stay here again and again!
The house was spacious and worked out perfect for our family. the view of the beach was spectacular. We spent many days snorkeling fishing and playing in the surf. Most of the beach goers were local and the beach was not crowded.Joe was attentive and accommodating to our needs.
This was the perfect home for our vacation. The home and grounds were very well cared for. We were close to very family friendly beaches and shopping areas. The host were amazing to work with and quick to respond to any questions. Please experience this wonderful property for yourself.
Had an awesome stay at the Anahola Beach house. We had nine adults and six kids the owner thought of everything in putting together a wonderful beach home for a nice vacation. We loved easy access to the beach tons of beach, toys, beach chairs, etc..
