We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the warm welcome and departure. Quiet and serenity comfort, yet not far from the beautiful Anina Beach and boutiques a short drive. We would certainly stay here again.

Great home & close to a beautiful beach with no surf that is great for kids!

Great three-bedroom home with two baths. We stayed with our two small kids who loved the beach at Anini, which has no surf and lots of shade on the beach. The house is well stocked and even has some board/card games to play. A wonderful getaway!

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!!!!

This house is gorgeous! It was a great place to stay in a very peaceful neighborhood.

This house sits on a quiet driveway in a very peaceful neighborhood. The house was very spacious and worked out great for two couples to share. Adding a third couple would have been no problem. The house was very clean and stocked with about anything we needed. We highly recommend staying at the Blue Anini Villa!

Great Base for Exploring the North Shore

House is very spacious with a large master with ensuite, open plan kitchen, dining, and living room. Kitchen was large and well stocked with everything you would need to cook. Nice that there were spices and staples leftover from previous guests. It was very clean when we arrived. It was great for our extended family. We enjoyed it so much more than the staying at a resort. The guide provided by Mercy for the island was fabulous. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Perfect landing spot for our island adventures

This place was in the perfect location for us, conveniently located a few steps from Anini Beach where we snorkeled and saw sea turtles (go at low tide!), and just a few short minutes from Hanalei Bay which has the best boogie boarding conditions! We had a total of 6 people in the villa- four adults, and two kids, and were very comfortable. The main living area is much larger than we expected based on the pictures, which was a nice surprise. The manager of the property was very responsive, and all issues were resolved on the same day (the coffee pot broke, and we had a new one by nightfall, etc.). We loved our stay and would definitely come back!

A wonderful stay at Blue Anini VIlla

This is our first experience with renting a home and had I known what a great experience it would be, we would've done it long ago. First off, the property manager & her staff staff were very responsive. We couldn't locate a lid for the rice cooker and they brought a whole new one right away. I even got a call from the owner, when I had some issues figuring out the TV set up (because I'm a tech bozo). The property is great and well equipped with everything we needed for the 2 weeks we were there. It was not quite an easy walk to the nearest beach (Kalihiwai), about a mile and downhill, but my son did it every morning. My only suggestion is to re-wire the fan in the dining area to work without activating the overhead track lights. But I'm speaking as someone who wishes he had a home like this in Kilauea! We would definitely consider returning to Blue Anini Villa on our next trip to Kauai.

Wonderful Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was clean and large. We had plenty of room to stretch out and not be on top of each other (3 couples). It was a pretty home with current decorations and appliances. The kitchen is well stocked and large. We had fun playing with the corn hole game and using the beach chairs and boogie boards in the garage. We used the bbq grill to cookout several times. The house did get hot at times without AC. Also, we had to wear bug spray while outside because we would get bit up quickly. The house was tucked away with foliage all around, so very private. It was close to Annini beach and easy to get to things in the north side of the island, but also not that far from the east and south side. We would definitely rent again if we ever returned.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Aside from giving us the wrong property address initially, once we were there, we enjoyed our stay. There were a few minor issues, but everything worked well(especially the AC), and it was clean and spacious. Loved the extra parking spots and the screened in porch to have our morning coffee. Would definately stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay here very much. It's the perfect blend of being close enough to the things we love (Kahiliwai and Anini beaches, Kīlauea and Hanalei) but tucked away from the action so we can relax. Just the right amenities allowed us to be comfortable without being overwhelmed.

The best house

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.

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.
