You awaken early too the musical rooster (we named him “Henry”), then drift back too sleep...as the sound of the surf reassures you that your going to experience another day on this beautiful island.

We had a wonderful stay. Lots of space and a nice private location. So great to walk a few feet and be at our own beach with no crowds. The place is easy to find and get into. Having laundry is a bonus.

This house is set in an amazing location with both ocean and garden views. The house was clean and typical of a beach house. Look forward to staying here again

Outstanding as always!!

We've stayed at the Nakea Home about a dozen times over the past 20+ years. That speaks for itself. If you're looking for a 5 star, Ritz Carlton experience this is not for you. If you're looking for hotel services, restaurants downstairs, people from your home town at the adjoining table, you might prefer Poipu Beach on the south shore. However, if you're hoping to escape the crowds, live down a dirt road about 25 yards from the ocean, and have one of the only 20'x20' lanai's (patio's) facing the ocean and just a 30 second walk to the beach right in front, this IS for you. I'm a big guy so my wife and I have asked them put the two twin beds together in the 2nd bedroom and we enjoy one large, roomy and comfortable sleep. Yes, you can Hear the ocean from anywhere in the house. Kitchen is modern and filled with everything you'd need except for the food. You're a 10 minute ride west to Kilauea which provides a "local" residential feel with a new and nice market, cafe, plus the age old Kilauea Bakery. A 10 minute ride going east gets you to Princeville with another supermarket, Lappert's Ice Cream (yes, to die for) some shops and a few restaurants. From there, you're 10 minutes down the hill from Hanalei which is one of the most beautiful beaches/bays on the planet. Lovely to sit on to watch or surf the bay, many shops and restaurants. From Hanalei, you drive west to the "end of the road" at another memorable beach (Ke'e). I'd be cautious about staying during the summer in the loft of the Nakea Home as it does get rather warm. The two downstairs bedrooms are comfortable. We love this house as the photo says it all---ocean just across the street on Anini Beach. By the way, Anini Beach has a fringing reef about 1/3d mile out from the shore so the water is usually very calm for accompanied children and adults. We wake up, make coffee, take a walk down the road or on the beach, ready to start the day. I would rate this property a 10! Total Aloha experience.
