Posted May 25, 2024 on HomeAwaynice home and great walk to beach. House needs maintenance. Most of the time no hot water, dishwasher wouldn't disolve soap, sliding door to beach horrible shape.
Tons of ants cleaned up daily. Cockroaches running across the stove. ebikes not working. Road in terrible shape. Should be better maintained

Excellent Beach Rental for Families
Posted Apr. 30, 2024 on HomeAwayJoe 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
Posted Apr. 30, 2024 on HomeAwayFirst 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.

Hi George & Terry,
Thanks for your thoughts.
We hope your family made memories in our Anahola Beach home. We try to help our guests have great times, like how we allowed your family to stay in the home many hours past 'check out' due to their late flights in the evening.
In our posting we note that the home is older and guests may encounter nature in the home, like all homes in Hawaii have unwanted pests.
And with guests things do get broken, lost, etc, and obtaining help and service on the island is difficult. We try to anticipate issues, like installing 2 new 120 gallon water heaters prior to your visit.
We share our home so others can experience this special place in paradise. Reading our dozen of 5 star reviews, our guests do not encounter the issues you mention. They focus on what a wonderful old home they are staying in and relish the great times shared with family and friends in this spacious and roomy grand old home.
We are sorry that it seems our Beach home was not a good fit for you. Joe & Melody

A wonderful home on a beautiful beach
Posted Mar. 31, 2024 on HomeAwayWe 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

Wonderful home for large families
Posted Mar. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayThe 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.

Thanks Tina,
We appreciate your generous words and that you all had 'memories and hearts full'!! Very special.
. We've been busy 3 or 4 times a year improving adding things like the bikes, surfboards, kayaks, accessible ramps & bathroom.
We find the home is a relaxing & rejuvenating oasis for families and friends to enjoy each other at a very unique place in paradise.
Mahalo,

Excellent home for large family get together
Posted Mar. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayIf 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.

Great place to stay
Posted Feb. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayThe 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!

A refreshing break
Posted Feb. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayI 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.
