Comfortable and well equipped large house was perfect for a family vacation and very convenient to Anini beach. Quiet environment with excellent landscaping, especially enjoyed the screen porch.
Anini Mauka was the perfect location for our trip to Kauai. The home had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. I highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Princeville or Hanalei. Anini Beach is still our favorite and only a 5 minute drive. The home had everything needed for the beach too which is a plus!Thank you for a great stay!
This property was immaculate and had everything we could ask for. It offered excellent spaces for everyone to gather for meals or spread out to relax. This is truly one of the best places to stay in the area.
Great floor plan, Beautiful, clean, well appointed house. A relaxing comfortable environment. Lovely landscaping. Screened in lanai we spent a lot of time on. Lots of towels and places to hang them so we didn’t have to wash them after every shower or trip to the beach.Great location near a popular snorkeling beach with a reef to break the waves. Supermarket and gas and sushi about 5 min away. Great Saturday farmers market near by and a health food store.Convenient to most things we did going out for take out or a special dinner and sightseeing and hiking.
Anini Mauka Kauai is the ideal home for our vacation style. We loved walking to Kalihiwai beach for the day, and enjoyed the well equipped kitchen for self catering our group of adults.
Great location in between Hanalei and Kilauea. Well appointed home that was super comfortable and clean. Really enjoyed the large kitchen and screened in porch. Also very quiet and dark. Would definitely come back.
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 stay for a group of 6 adults. The screened in porch was our favorite place to enjoy our meals. Also loved the close access to Anini and Kalihiwai beach. Will be back !!!
Great location and the house is just as pictured! Very comfortable for the 5 of us. We look forward to coming back!

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.

The home is great. Perfect for us on a week-long relaxation trip. The amenities are thoughtful, and the house is well equipped. The location is great too. I'd love to stay here again and recommend it to anyone!
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.

We stayed here for 9 nights, with our 2 adult daughters and their husbands. 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!
What a wonderful property and rental experience. The house was absolutely amazing and was so inviting, and the management team made everything a breeze from start to finish. The home was immaculately clean, beautiful, and had been set up for us to make us feel so comfortable and welcome (lights on, Hawaiian music playing, ceiling fans on, and A/C set perfectly). The house was stocked and organized and had every ammenity we could ever need or envision. The kitchen was stocked with everything you can imagine, each bedroom had fans, dressers, loads of hangers, etc. There were 2 washers and dryers, ironing boards and irons, cleaning supplies, and more. We were able to park in the garage and had the use of all the essential beach items we could hope for, including towels, chairs, boogie boards, coolers, umbrellas, etc. There were even some kids' beach toys (we didn't need those, but it was great to see they were available for families). I can't say enough great things about this property and all the details both large and small that were in place (like fresh flowers on the dining room table). Our stay and this home were just absolutely incredible. It FAR exceeded our expectations, and the location was near one of the best beaches on Kauai. 10 stars out of 5. THANK YOU for such a great stay!!!!

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.

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!

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.

A fabulously appointed rental with every amenity needed to maximize our relaxation and local experience! Blender and juicer worked excellent for the freshest flavors in our drinks; both lanais gave options to suit our fancy. The comfiest seats, the comfiest beds, plenty of couch space, and spacious rooms meant everyone could fully explore their relaxation. Minutes from the farmers market and a short walk to the beach puts this rental at the epicenter of an authentic Kauai experience.

It was so comfortable - home away from home. The location was fabulous - we can't wait to return.
Clean, provided everything you could want for your stay, cozy and the location is great to exploring where you'd like to see.
