What our guests say
"Great place, great owners and a terrific vacation. Highly recommended!"
"If you are a large family and need a place to stay I highly recommend this house. We had 17 adults and kids stay here and at no time did we feel cramped."
""Our stay at the Anahola beach house was outstanding! We LOVED the house as it fit our large family with plenty of beds and room to be together! The beach was a short walk, and we had an amazing time swimming and using the various boogie boards, snorkels, sand toys, etc. that were available. This house will forever be a special place by the ocean for our family. We made so many memories and had a ball! Thank you for sharing this property...! We enjoyed it immensely! Mahalo!"

Kauai Getaway

Great House with lots of room to spread out. It was a short stroll to the ocean where we watched the sunrise while having a good morning cup of coffee. The kids enjoyed playing on the beach and running from the surf. As we went on adventures away from the house we learned to get on the road before 10 AM to avoid the traffic.

Family vacation

The home was huge and super comfortable, it was an older home but well taken care of, we all loved it..Lots of things for the kids to do and the beach was so close! We had a great time and are very grateful for the opportunity to stay there. The owner was great in getting back to me with any questions I had… the only drawback was that the beach was public so at night there would be cars parked there all night sometimes playing loud music

There were 17 of us staying for 10 days, from 3 to 85 years old. Our 85-year-old handicapped (wheelchair bound) guest had no problems at all. Great place, great owners and a terrific vacation.

Perfect Kauai Family Vacation Home

It had been almost 5 years since we had our 8 children and their families all together. Kauai was the perfect location for this gathering of 20 people ranging from 3 yrs old to early sixties. Everyone agreed that this house was perfect! From the sleeping arrangements to the backyard access to a perfect beach to the house being clean/comfortable/spacious and stocked with everything we needed from kitchen supplies to beach supplies. It's location is perfect as well being about halfway between Lihue and Princeville. We loved this home, highly recommend it to others and hope to return some day!! The Gardners

Large Group Ocean Front Paradise

This beachfront property was everything we had hoped it would be. Plenty of room with all the necessities for our family of 16 to enjoy each others company in the common areas while giving each family their own private sleeping and bathroom space. We fell in love with Anahola beach which is largely used by locals in the area. Cars and locals camping on the beach were seen but didn’t bother us, all were friendly and respectful of others. We enjoyed freshly caught & cooked fish the “Hawaiian” way from one of those families. It was truly a dream vacation for us all in Kauai. Thank you Joe & Melody for sharing your bit of paradise with us.

Plenty of space for the family

We enjoyed the spacious home and easy access to the beach. Kauai is a beautiful island and we enjoyed our stay there. The house was the perfect size for our group of 15. The owners were very responsive and provided a lot of information about the house. Unfortunately, 2 of our vehicles' gas tanks were sabotaged and the gas was stolen. This certainly put a damper on our time in paradise. We were told that there is an issue with this in the area by the car rental company.

About the host

Hosted by Joe & Melody Callero

Host profile image
Joe & Melody have been married for over 45 years. They have always been a hard working team. Joe was a carpet installer which grew into a flooring store. Joe ran the store, & Melody did the financials. They retired for the 2nd time (first time; they needed to take the business in 2008 to save 20+ jobs.). They managed to save enough for a family home on Kaua'i, but were lucky to find the Anahola Beach House waiting for them. They knew they could not afford it, but offered much lower than asking and it was accepted. They are thrilled to own such an amazing home in a very rare setting.

Why they chose this property

Our guest say it best:
"" I set out to find a place that was on the beach and could accommodate our large family. I found exactly that when I found the Anahola Beach House. Plenty of room for everyone. Private bathrooms in all bedrooms gave everyone their own space while the living/kitchen/ dining area allows everyone a place to be together without any crowding. This was great, I have stayed in a few places that can sleep plenty of people but lack the space for everyone to eat and hang out together and this was just what our family needed on this trip. Great to be right on the beach and avoid loading sand covered kids in and out of vehicles. The kids had a blast catching lizards and opening coconuts in the yard. The house has a beautifully updated clean interior which was beyond expectation. The drive in and neighborhood of the beach area seems mostly local . Laid back cool local feel, not a resort area. Joe was very responsive to any questions or needs we had during our stay. Can't wait to go back. This was a special trip our family will always cherish"" - Mike Date of arrival - December 14, 2022

What makes this property unique

Private setting, large 5,000 sq. ft. single story home (except 5th & 6th bedrooms) , ( 4 bedrooms with private baths. Guests can enjoy their secluded suites and the community room is large to hold 20 guests comfortably. A game room with pool table and a Kid's wing, there's an abundance of space for large groups yet intimate and private. The perfect sanctuary for families, friends, and events such as weddings, anniversaries, artist and creative retreats, and any excuse to have the perfect large gathering in Paradise.
History: We've been told by the neighbors that The Anahola Home was once owned by Thomas Hormel (Spam). He is an artist, patron and gallery owner. Parties were held at the home for celebrities and artists. The script "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was rumored to have been written in the home,
We recently acquired Pierce Brosnan's personal surfboard to add to many of our artwork from local Hawaiian artists. The walls of the home are covered in art like an art gallery.
The Dali Lama holds Anahola Beach as sacred, and has slept in the home on his visits to Anahola Beach.
