Kauai Vacation Rental: Keawaihi at Anini Beach
Look Familiar? This magnificent estate was the home used for the movie “Honeymoon in Vegas”, Beachfront at Anini, the largest continuous coral reef in the Islands, it doesn’t get much better than Keawaihi Hale! Not only are the views and the beach spectacular, there’s some of the best snorkeling on the Island right out your front door. Set on a roomy one acre landscaped with swaying palms, hala, native naupaka, and Tahitian gardenia, this 4,000 square foot, single story home is a subtle mix of Japanese, Hawaiian, and contemporary styles that blend richly with the surroundings.
The living, dining, and master bedroom areas have floor- to- ceiling glass doors that “disappear” into the walls allowing the magnificent ocean view to flow into the interior. The private master suite features Italian marble surrounded with luxurious facilities including a Jacuzzi tub, King size bed, private lanai, sitting area, and spectacular views! The second and third bedrooms in the main house both have en-suite bathrooms, with a King bed in one and twin beds in the other.
For additional guests there’s also a separate studio cottage with a Queen bed, bath, and kitchenette. For those who like to cook the main house has a fully equipped ultra modern kitchen, with European fixtures and granite counter tops. And if you must bring your work with you there’s an office desk with high speed Internet access, a fax machine, and a Meridian two-line phone system with room-to-room intercom and answering machine. The beautiful gardens are tastefully landscaped to ensure your privacy while preserving the ocean views. Stay at Keawaihi Hale and you’ll never want to leave!

I have always wondered where that lovely home was. In the movie it was billed as being on Maui I believe. After all this time I am still suprised about the wonders of Kauai. Shelah’s bolg is a must if you want to keep up to date and find new and interesting places and knowledge about this wonderful jewel of an island.
Aloha Karen,
Thank you for your post! On your next visit to the island I would highly suggest taking a ‘movie tour’ of the island… there have been numerous Hollywood films that have been on location here.. Jurassic Park 1 & 2, Honeymoon in Vegas, South Pacific, King Kong, Indiana Jones, Baywatch and most recently the new Ben Stiller movie ‘Tropic Thunder’, just to name a few.
