The property sits on half an acre on Kauai’s north shore, putting it just steps from beautiful Anini Beach, home to the largest coral reef of all the Hawaiian islands.

So if you like kitesurfing, snorkeling, paddle boarding or surfing then this is the perfect place for you.

Built in 1988, the residence even has a coveted vacation rental license, which allows for nightly rentals.

Designed by architect Norman Lacayo, it features a unique wooden front door, an open layout, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom cabinetry and tropical landscaping.

The living room has wooden floors and beautiful ocean views as it is completely open to the outside.

It’s like living outside with a roof over your head,” said the seller, a female wellness industry executive from the Bay Area who bought the home from Kristin in 2021 for $7 million.

The seller, Aranzazu Casal, the widow of Apple software engineer François Jouaux, revealed that she loved watching the sea turtles swimming along the coast.

The shelter has many amenities that are visible as soon as you enter.

“Upon entering through the antique carved wood front door, steps lead to a spacious living room connected via a dining area to a gourmet kitchen with custom Koa cabinetry, a breakfast bar and stainless steel appliances,” the listing said.

The two downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom, while the upstairs master retreat features a breathtaking oceanfront office with a built-in desk where Hannah wrote many of her popular books.

It also features a dressing area, sunken bath and separate walk-in shower.

‘Elsewhere there is a two-car garage that has been converted into a lounge and recreation area. And outside, the picturesque backyard is home to an outdoor shower, along with a grassy strip of lawn and a path leading straight to the sand,” the listing says.

The home is also not far from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s massive complex, and the multi-story structure features bamboo floors, high ceilings and glass doors.

Kristin, a lawyer turned writer, bought the house with her husband Benjamin in 2003 for $4.4 million. She has written numerous novels, including The Nightingale, The Great Alone, The Four Winds and Firefly Lane.

Firefly Lane even became a two-season Netflix series starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke.

Meanwhile, her book The Nightingale was in pre-production ahead of the pandemic, starring Elle and Dakota Fanning. Many fans hope it will be brought back to life.

“For me, paradise begins on this pink, shell-strewn ribbon of Anini Beach,” Kristin said of her island home when it first hit the market in 2018.

‘From the moment you drive up the crushed coral driveway and park under the giant palms, you feel it: a silence that calms the busiest soul.’

Now Kristin lives in Washington with her husband, Benjamin, and their son.
