The Anahola Beach Home is like the summer place of your grandparents. A grand old home that as you enter you smile, as you know the relaxing will be easy. A comfortable, rejuvenating, & soul restoring jewel. The Anahola Beach Home resides on Anahola Beach, one of the finest beaches with miles of golden-sand local's beach that on some days you may be the only one on the beach. Steps to the sand, a short stroll north to the Anahola River and a brief walk south to Anahola Beach Park where waters are gentle
Unlike a pristine and crowded Resort, this lovely and welcoming home is for you to make priceless memories with your family and friends

Goethe Callero & Julie Conway. The walls evoke an art gallery

The Dali Lama holds Anahola Beach to be sacred. On his visits to Anahola Beach, we've been told he's stayed in the home. We feel the Anahola Beach home is very special

What our guests say:
"Great place, great owners and a terrific vacation. Highly recommended!"
"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."
""Our stay at the Anahola beach house was outstanding! We LOVED the house as it fit our large family with plenty of beds and room to be together! The beach was a short walk, and we had an amazing time swimming and using the various boogie boards, snorkels, sand toys, etc. that were available. This house will forever be a special place by the ocean for our family. We made so many memories and had a ball! Thank you for sharing this property...! We enjoyed it immensely! Mahalo!"

NOTE::: Anahola is a Hawaiian neighborhood & Anahola Beach is a public beach. That is why we like it. (read our many 5-star reviews as to why our guests like Anahola) Anahola Beach is long and wide. As our second guest wrote "...we were very glad to stay there, felt like we were locals after a few days which we liked and the beach itself can’t be beat, thank you."

All Hawaiian homes have geckos, ants, spiders and roaches. This is tropical Hawaii and we use non toxic and safe pest controls. The Home has some geckos that are almost never seen. They make an odd clicking-kissing sound as they patrol the home for unwanted bugs. Spiders can be in the yard. (not poisonous). Ants might show up when food is left out, and and a roach is usually never encountered. This is Hawaiian life, found in all homes

Family vacation
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

A perfect stay in Anahola!!
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!

Perfect Kauai Family Vacation Home
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

Excellent Beach Rental for Families
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!

A wedding in Anahola
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.

A wonderful home on a beautiful beach
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

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.

Excellent home for large family get together
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.

Plenty of space for the family
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.

Large Group Ocean Front Paradise
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.

AMAZING
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.

House was big. So big it fit 18 of us no problem. Clean house with a great location to the beach. We did have a plumbing problem but was taken care of by owner fairly quick, turns out some plumber broke off a plumbing snake in the pipe and left it. Other than that great property. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the owners, we had a great family reunion.

Surrounded By Beauty
TL/DR: Area more beautiful than the pics can show, house is roomy & comfortable. Host is very responsive. Highly recommend, 5 stars! The 1st thing I saw after walking through the door was the absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean. The pics on the listing don't do it justice. The water was much closer than I expected & so amazingly beautiful. Probably best not to swim in this particulsr area since there are riptides & occasional jellyfish. But you can either walk to an estuary where the river flows into the ocean & the water is calm or you can walk in the opposite direction to another area where the water is also calm. The listing describes the house as big & they aren't lying. The group with me & my husband included my mom, my siblings, their partners & their children. We had no issues finding comfortable rooms for all of us. Since the kids' room was on the opposite wing from the living room, dining room, & kitchen area, we didn't have to worry about our volume level after the kids were in bed. The hosts of the house were very responsive to any questions we had & provided a very detailed informational email about the house & our surrounding area. My family & all had a wonderful & relaxing stay. We'd love to come back again. Highly recommend this property!

Host profile image
Joe & Melody have been married for over 45 years. They have always been a hard working team. Joe was a carpet installer which grew into a flooring store. Joe ran the store, & Melody did the financials. They retired for the 2nd time (first time; they needed to take the business in 2008 to save 20+ jobs.). They managed to save enough for a family home on Kaua'i, but were lucky to find the Anahola Beach House waiting for them. They knew they could not afford it, but offered much lower than asking and it was accepted. They are thrilled to own such an amazing home in a very rare setting.

Why they chose this property

Our guest say it best:
"" I set out to find a place that was on the beach and could accommodate our large family. I found exactly that when I found the Anahola Beach House. Plenty of room for everyone. Private bathrooms in all bedrooms gave everyone their own space while the living/kitchen/ dining area allows everyone a place to be together without any crowding. This was great, I have stayed in a few places that can sleep plenty of people but lack the space for everyone to eat and hang out together and this was just what our family needed on this trip. Great to be right on the beach and avoid loading sand covered kids in and out of vehicles. The kids had a blast catching lizards and opening coconuts in the yard. The house has a beautifully updated clean interior which was beyond expectation. The drive in and neighborhood of the beach area seems mostly local . Laid back cool local feel, not a resort area. Joe was very responsive to any questions or needs we had during our stay. Can't wait to go back. This was a special trip our family will always cherish"" - Mike Date of arrival - December 14, 2022

We recently acquired Pierce Brosnan's personal surfboard to add to many of our artwork from local Hawaiian artists. The walls of the home are covered in art like an art gallery.
