To access the beach, you just cross the road and walk down a tree-lined path. You can snorkel here for hours. Fish aren't as plentiful here as other beaches, but there are still plenty of beautiful fish. The management company makes everything straightforward and easy. The house itself could use some updating but it's an incredibly space with 3 bedrooms, each with unique access to a bathroom. We cooked each night: I made tuna with mango/avocado salsa, ramen with pork belly and vegetarian ramen, ono with a lime buerre blanc and toasted coconut (with coconut and lime from trees out back), chicken shwarma (sorry chickens in the yard) and carne asada tacos--most everything I needed to cook was available--even an electric juicer! Each night, we sat on one of the decks for dinner and stayed up late watching the stars or the rain, sometimes both. Again, the house could use new windows and I don't know why rentals have carpet but we took off our shoes as requested and that probably helps keeps the floors clean. I wish there were a few more cleaning supplies for a mid-week clean. I also wish there was just one more roll of papertowels and of toilet paper. The house was comfortable and pleasant but not newly remodeled--which is actually fine since one is outdoors most of the time. I would stay there again.

Awesome location. Nice house. Being elevated the rooster chicken noise was kept at a minimum...which was nice.For the price and quality of the location it was a bit disappointing that the carpet was old and worn, the interior needed painting and the grill was a $150 home depot special. For so little it could have been so much more.

We had three generations of family sharing the house plus one other adult friend for a total of 7 people. The three bedrooms and the fold-out couch provided the beds that we needed. The three bathrooms were really appreciated. The location was fantastic, the house was fantastic. We had a great time!

I had read a review or two saying that Oceanview was difficult to get hold of. This is true if you try to correspond through the VRBO system. However directly to Oceanview Rentals whether by phone or email my experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Jamie and Jessica's customer service skills are beyond the pale both before and during our stay. We arrived at our rental Condo at around 1PM to the mess of a prior sewer back up. It was clear the kitchen would be unusable as the counter top was swollen with water damage. Since we were in Princeville anyway we drove over to there offices and showed Jessica pictures of the damage. We were devastated as with thought this may be a harbinger of what our trip was going to be like. We couldn't have been more wrong. Jessica quickly scanned available rentals and had us upgraded to a beautiful 3 bedroom beach home across from Anini beach. We are seasoned travellers on our first time to Kauai. Not only did we fall in love with the Island, we intend to come back to that house across from that beach. Thankyou Oceanfront Realty and specifically Jessica for turning what could have been a disaster into our most memorable vacation to date!

We all totally enjoyed our stay at Puanani! The house was clean and very comfortable. The roosters and songbirds made the mornings special. The team at Oceanfront Realty International very helpful answering questions, especially when we first booked. I'm sorry to say the VRBO team wasn't as helpful. The location was amazing, across the beach, which was beautiful, the large yard well groomed, the back yard with views of the jungle, flowering & fruit trees and hillside foothills. The totally enjoyed the company of "Grace Hopper" a very mild-mannered disabled chicken.

Puanani was very comfortable and the perfect house layout for our family with 3 bedrooms/bathrooms positioned at opposite corners of the home giving each privacy. The location was ideal with excellent access to Anini Beach right across from the house. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cutlery, pots, pans, etc. with a BBQ on the lanai. May be a hangover from pandemic restrictions but we thought it odd that there are NO STAPLES provided except a little salt and pepper. If you are going to cook you need to buy everything you will need to prepare your meal. They provide a “starter” of one paper towel, two toilet rolls and one small pocket pack of Kleenex per bathroom, two single load packet laundry detergent. But did provide adequate dishwasher soap pods. It felt a little stingy given the price. The interior of the home was comfortable, clean and well cared for but we did have an issue of mold/fungus on both lanais which made them slippery and not pleasant to use. Assumed it’s caused by all the rain but the property manager was very responsive and sent a maintenance person the following day to solve the problem. We were blessed to get perfect weather with the rain during the night and clear sunny days. We began our days with a family walk on the beach at sunrise. We loved our week in Kauai. Thank you.

We enjoyed everything about our stay here. The house is beautifully situated on a large property full of Plumeria and Citrus trees, and in the very front, there is a spectacular huge Monkey Pod tree with flaming red blossoms. The house is right across from the beach access path, only steps away to Anini reef beach and sea turtles. We loved this quiet end of the beach. Our favorite place to be was the large front lanai where we would watch the tropical birds awaken every morning. We ate breakfast here every day and had fun feeding our wild local rooster and hens some bread bits. Our beds were really comfortable with sparkling clean linens, bathrooms clean and full of fresh towels. We also had beach towels, beach chairs, and floaty noodles. We didn't need AC because the house is angled to the trade winds, and all rooms have big screened sliding doors and ceiling fans. The internet is speedy and perfect for anywhere in the house. The backyard is huge, with the jungle behind and spectacular mountains beyond. We enjoyed 9 heavenly days in this tropical paradise, and can't wait to return. Thank you so much for hosting us!

House is as described and in a good location. Internet connection is very poor. Had to reset several times each day and the feed is slow. Not good if you have business to do!

We enjoyed a week here an Anini beach. Right across the street from great Stand Up Paddling. Close to trails to bike ride. House was bigger than we needed. 6 could easily enjoy this place. We liked the lawn for frisbee. Kitchen has what you need. Lanai on both sides is great for morning and evening.

Excellent all around experience. Awesome location across the street from the beach, and the home had everything we could hope for. I only wish we could have stayed longer.
