Nakea Cottage

excellent cottage steps from pristine, quiet beach

We loved everything about Nakea Cottage and Anini Beach. The cottage has a good view of the ocean, with a large front porch. We also loved the view from the kitchen and eating bar. The shower was fine, and the bed was comfy. We loved the open-air structure, which allowed us to feel the tropical, damp air. The property management and owner were very helpful when we had a question. We also loved Anini Beach. It is very peaceful and uncrowded, a beautiful place to stroll and dip in the warm water. We also liked the location. It's a short drive to Kilauea, Princeville, and Hanalei Bay. When we get to return to Hawaii, we'll come back here!

a week in the rainforest at the beach

We stayed at Nakea Cottage the first week of June 2023. I enjoyed waking up to see the lush plants alongside and behind the house. There were many birds.. Overall we enjoyed our time there at Anini Beach. The kitchen was clean and very well stocked. The home actually has three bathrooms. It has ceiling fans and standing fans, no ac. The living room fan is ineffective. Make sure to bring and use deet bug repellent. At first I tried using an herbal repellent but it did not keep me from getting bug bites. The last block or so of the road to get there is dirt with ruts. Our rental car had low clearance so it was very difficult to drive over the dirt road. It will be best to rent a suv when you go to Nakea Cottage. It is well equipped for cooking and everything you need for going to the beach is provided. Set back from the road makes it feel very private. The scenery is beautiful so we had a very relaxing week. I do recommend this rental home, just make sure to be prepared.

love our kauai vacation rental

We have stayed in this same home for numerous years, and feel like it is our home away from home. The house is in a great location with direct access to the beach. The home is comfortable and suits us to a T. It could use a good baseboard to baseboard cleaning, but overall it is clean, functional and comfortable. We love sitting on the lanai at night especially having our drinks and dinner!
