The layout of the house allowd privacy and great for the group. very clean and well kept. Road into the house needs serious work. Not easy to find the house which is good and bad. Don't arrive after dark. Great views from the deck.
We were here to celebrate some milestone anniversaries and birthdays with 8 friends and family. This house was a perfect fit and worked great for our group. The house is very well equipped with everything you could think of. It was also very clean and the beds were comfortable. The beach is great for walking or swimming. As several people mentioned there is a small homeless population in the area and several abandoned cars. One day there appeared to be some tension between two homeless men that appeared a little sketchy but we didnât have any issues. There are many locals on the beach and they enjoyed the holiday weekend. A little noise after dark with window rattling music but nothing serious and there were all friendly. We would definitely come back!
We planned the trip to house 10 people and the house was perfect for our party. steps from the beach. Clean and tidy rooms, giving us tg ohana feel for the island.
The house was very comfortable for our ten person extended family. Of all our VRBO vacations, this house was the best stocked with beach equipment, picnic coolers, ice packs, kitchen utensils/cooking gear, and house basics like dishwasher pods, toilet paper, and washing machine soap. Centrally located to both the east shore and north shore attractions. Beach was perfect for boogie boarding. One downside was cars and trucks driving on the beach near the tree.line.
The house is older and wonderfully rustic but well appointed. Very spacious with plenty of room for 10-12 depending if some folks can double up. The large deck with views overlooking the beach and ocean is spectacular. Beach access couldnât be easier too. Finding the driveway can be tricky, look for a a black iron gate at the end of a concrete wall. The driveway is narrow so large vehicles might be a problem but it makes the parking area very private. We had such a wonderful week, will consider this house again in the future.
The location is absolutely perfect. I enjoyed the beautiful sunrise on the back porch every morning. Beach is a few steps away. We were in the water everyday .
We traveled with a 26 student high school choir around Kauai, singing in churches, retirement homes, and community centers. Most of the kids and a few chaperones stayed at Kumu Camp, which is very close proximity to this home. 8 chaperones and 2 students stayed in the house and it was perfect for preparing food for the kids and chaperones at the camp. We were la very short walking distance to them and able to deliver food easily. Check-in was super easy. The house gets warm during mid-day, but the breeze cools it during the evenings and mornings if you keep the fan running. The view of the ocean from the deck is phenomenal! The owners are extremely quick to respond and very easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the great memories!!
Great home in a residential neighborhood. The house itself is outdated but comfortable. My only complaint is the window treatments. They are almost impossible to utilize, the wooden rods are too large for the metal grommets and therefore the curtains do not move along the rod and make it really hard to actually get privacy.
We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was great, and the porch was wonderful to spend time on. The locals we encountered on the beach were friendly and gave us helpful tips about weather conditions. Thanks for letting us stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is wonderful and the home is well stocked. Perfect for large families or multiple families. Listening to the waves in the morning and evening were the best!
We had an amazing stay at this house. The house was right on a great beach, 2nd story view from the deck was incredible, beach supplies were more than we expected as well as the rest of the house was well equipped. The entire family absolutely loved the house and if we return to Kauai with a large group again we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation in Kauai.
This house is a home! It is well stocked in every area for a family of 9. Beautiful views!
Only draw back is it's very close to a local beach access and campground. That made for a lot of vehicles and people.
We had such an amazing time during our stay. The house was stocked with everything you can think of. Our kids loved all the boogie boards and snorkel gear. The morning sunrise was breathtaking from the deck. Location was great for traveling to all different parts of the island. We would definitely come back!
We loved every minute of our week in Kauai and Na Paina was everything we hoped it would be. Glorious ocean and beach right in our back yard, and we savored our time on the beautiful deck too ~ especially watching the sunrise every morning. Such a comfortable home, in a great location for all of our play and adventures. Thank you!
This is a great house for a family gathering or group of friends. It's large and well equipped. The view is spectacular. The beach is lovely with a tidal river that allows for calmer swimming or paddling just up the beach.
The yard is full of exotic birds, and monarch butterflies, and yes the Hawaiian bird-chickens. A note: There are vehicles allowed on the beach. Mostly the local surfers, but they drive carefully, and there are not many. It didn't bother us. The Dockins are great hosts, and were very communicative though our reservation and stay.
The house was perfect for our family. All of the child and baby amenities were very helpful. Plenty of space and having a bedroom for each bathroom was perfect. Beautiful scenery from the deck. There are people who drive on the beach with loud exhaust but they were careful to drive around us and they were quiet once the sun went down. There was a problem with screen doors but Annie was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.
There were 9 of us that stayed at this great place on Anahola Beach from Nov.26 to Dec7. Plenty of room for everyone. Had a few questions before we arrived and Annie and Steve were quick to response and very helpful. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook for all of us. If you are looking for a place on the beach for a group of 10, this is an awesome place with great hosts. Thank you again for opening your place to us, we all had a great vacation there.
Aloha
