The best house

This property was beautiful, clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for our stay. I was worried that we would have to rent items to take to the beach but the garage had it all! All the greenery around the house adds the best touch to the house. It’s super nice to wake up and see why the island is called the garden island. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect family home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for our family of four. Conveniently located just a short drive from Anini beach, and just a bit further to great restaurants, the house met our every need. We especially loved the big couch for watching movies together as a family at night. It was peaceful and relaxing and we would definitely stay there again.

Spacious, quiet island retreat

The house is in a nice, quiet location between Princeville and Kilauea, close to Anini Beach. It is pretty well equipped with all the necessary kitchen gear. The place fit our group of six ( 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 small children) perfectly, with 3 bedrooms and a bonus room for the baby to sleep in. Our stay got off to rocky start as we were given the wrong access code to the lockbox. We called the property manager contact number but no one picked up or returned our multiple messages. We spent an anxious hour, with a three-year old and 9-month old, wondering what we were going to do. We finally called the number from which the erroneous text originated and someone was able to call us back with the correct code. While the property is in good condition overall, the appliances are old and in need of replacement. The dishwasher in particular was a problem. It doesn’t clean well and is very inefficient (3-4 hr cycle). We ran a load three times before decided that the “Hi-temp” cycle was the only way to get the soap pod to dissolve. Even that didn’t work every time and it still left a big lump of soap in the dispenser. The only other issue we had was the kitchen faucet handle. It was very loose and at one point fell off. This needs to be fixed!While none of the above problems ruined our trip they certainly detracted from our experience and overall impression of the property.

Nice house, with excellent management, OK location

Well equipped, very clean, tastefully appointed house with helpful management. "Close" is a relative term. You need to drive to the beach. It is too far to really walk and a steep hilly road on the return. The tropical jungle plants surround the house and direct sun is missing most of the day. We were there in a major storm and cold front. There is no heat source. If it were hot then they have a massive air conditioner. Too bad, that they did not invest in a reversible heat pump to counter the days with 60 degrees inside and your bare feet sticking to the freezing floor.

Amazing North Shore Location

We loved the house. Perfect spot on the north shore right between Kiluea and Princeville. Short drive to maybe the best kids beach on the island, close to dining and convenience stores etc. Was clean plenty of towels and bedding. Was very private. If you are more into hawaiian life than staying on a resort this place was amazing. They also had anything you'd need to go to the beach. The entire island lost power while we were there and they had pleny of candles and flashlights. Best spot in the house was the entirely covered lanai. We'd love to stay here again.

Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom which was a plus. Plenty of room to gather. We enjoyed the screened patio each morning to plan our day over a cup of coffee. The beach is within walking distance. The area is lush and tropical. We would rent this location again!

Wonderful Retreat in Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience at Anini Mauka and with Makana Kauai Properties was wonderful. Everyone was fantastic to work with and most importantly they leave you alone to enjoy your vacation. This property and house is a lot nicer than the pictures might lead you to believe. It is very quiet, very clean and actually has somethings so you do not need to run to the store in the first few hours of your stay. The property is peaceful and the oranges are delicious. This is a great central spot to the north and south. Also it provides you great access to Anini and Kalihiwai beaches. It is wonderful to drive down the road and be at the back of Kalihiwai Bay, where we played with our kids in the river, paddle boarded to the waterfall and surfed all day long. It was magical and we will definitely be back. We have rented a lot of places around the world and we do so a few times a year, and we can happily say that is was a wonderful vacation retreat. The rental company is extremely considerate and nice. Thank you so much!

We have a small family of 4 and plus 2 other family members staying, so this worked out perfect if a little privacy was wanted. House was very clean and has everything you might need in the kitchen. The grounds are beautiful and give you the feel of not having near by neighbors. Beaches are just a short drive away, and management is friendly and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo!

Wonderful Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was clean and large. We had plenty of room to stretch out and not be on top of each other (3 couples). It was a pretty home with current decorations and appliances. The kitchen is well stocked and large. We had fun playing with the corn hole game and using the beach chairs and boogie boards in the garage. We used the bbq grill to cookout several times. The house did get hot at times without AC. Also, we had to wear bug spray while outside because we would get bit up quickly. The house was tucked away with foliage all around, so very private. It was close to Annini beach and easy to get to things in the north side of the island, but also not that far from the east and south side. We would definitely rent again if we ever returned.

Amazing Place

The house was more than accommodating for 7 of us. The kitchen was equipped with EVERYTHING! the living room has a big enough sofa for everyone to sit comfortably, screened patio was an added extra, much needed, due to the mosquitos. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Everything needed for the beach was there. The only issues was the ceiling vent to draw hot air out wasn't working, but fans were provided. Hotter inside than outside some nights. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying again

This home was amazing. We traveled with our 3 teen boys and it was perfect, exactly as listed. So spacious and beautiful. The quiet neighborhood was awesome. The citrus in the yard is some of the best and oh so juicy!!! Very well stocked kitchen with just about anything you could need. The supplies for the beach were great. Chairs, umbrellas, cooler, boogie boards, noodles, beach towels…... We absolutely loved this place. Will definitely be back. Kauai is becoming a yearly tradition for our family and this place was the best yet.
