  This was our first extended stay away from Minnesota. We rented 4 weeks and this was just what we wanted. We are familiar with the area and knew we wanted to be in an area that was "livable and walkable" and this is it. The apartment is spacious and airy, the beds very comfortable, and hosts Bob and Marianne were wonderful hosts. We felt we made new friends. The nearby beach, a short walk with beach chairs, is lovely and never crowded. We have been to Hawaii 6 times and love Kauai especially this part of it. Many good choices for eating out and grocery stores to stock the complete kitchen.The first 2 weeks were spent showing visitors the island, with a rental car; the last 2 weeks left us carless and we walked or took the bus. The schedule is easy and convenient and we enjoyed talking with other passengers. On many days we rode to several towns and beaches - my favorite is definitely Hanalei - but we always welcomed the time to sit on the lanai at the end of the day. If we get a chance to return to Kauai, we will definitely return to this sweet hale.

  Owner response: Mahalo We enjoyed your stay with us and are looking forward to spending time with you when you return to Kauai. Aloha Bob & Marianne

  We liked : Kapaa is a nice place because it is situated in the middle of all the places you want to visit on Kauai. The Ohia kai is the vastest place we rented so far. It has two comfortable king size beds and a large lanai. Very friendly owner gave us fresh flowers and fruits. We disliked : A bit old ! Rusty appliances. Window drapes give little privacy, Presence of bugs on the floor (but the owner was prompt to react when we talked about it). Sylvie Montreuil and Alain Saucier

  Owner response: - definition of vastest Very great in size, number, amount, or quantity. 2. Very great in area or extent; immense. 3. Very great in degree or intensity. appliances are all less than 5 years old but one block from the beach some do show rust. 2nd level of large house where no one can see in. we are disappointed that the review gave only 3 stars as other reviews are 5 or 4 stars.

  The apartment was lovely - light and airy. We enjoyed the large windows and still had total privacy from the lush foliage surrounding the apartment. We ate most of our meals on the roomy lanai, and used the BBQ, beach mats, beach chairs, and boogie boards that were supplied. The location couldn't be better - a great walking/bicycle path begins a short distance from the apartment and stretches for five miles along the beach, plus easy drive to anywhere on the island. Although only a block from Kapa'a's main street - we couldn't hear traffic from the apartment - it was very peaceful, yet an easy walk to many excellent eateries, and grocery store. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality and location. We will return!

  We were very pleased with the accomodation here. The Hale was very spacious and we made use of the BBQ and grilled up lots of fish and vegetables. The beds and lounge chairs were very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting outside on the lanai. We didn't hear a peep out of the roosters at night time and slept very well with the breeze coming through the windows. The local farmers market at Kaapa were handy as were the Big Save & Safeway supermarkets. The fresh flowers on arrival were much appreciated too!

• My stay at the hale was very delightful! Home town is Castroville, CA where it's foggy.

  The Hale is on the second floor and there are trees all around, so it made us feel like we were in the trees. The breeze would come through and we could here birds chirping. The central location in kapaa is perfect for us...we would get up early and go walk the bike path along the ocean. The restaurants in walking distance were good and not tooo pricy. I recommend the Hale for those who want away from the hotels and a nice home with all the amenities needed for comfort. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year and get the same deal with Bob and Marianne the owners of Ohia Kai!!!

  Ohia Kai IS perfect for the budget family. Our family of four stayed comfortably in the Hale. Admittedly, the TV was too complicated for us (but there's so much else to do on Kauai that we didn't care) and it took a day to figure out the lights, but the living room was just as advertised, bedrooms comfortable, and we really appreciated the full kitchen, beach towels, boogie board and cooler. Bob and Marianne were friendly and easy to contact. The location is a very short walk to the beach or in to town (breakfast at Ono Family Restaurant was delicious), and central to many Kauai destinations. Ohia Kai is more like a friend's house than a boutique hotel, but I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a good value and a casual place to stay.

  The hale was absolutely perfect for all our needs. The location in Kapaa town was fabulous - very good place for a home base while exploring the island. The small town of Kapaa was charming with a nice mix of restaurants and shops of all types. We took Bob's suggestion and walked to the Mexican restaurant, Shaka Tacos and besides enjoying a quick, inexpensive meal, we had entertainment as well. It was just a short drive to grocery stores and loads of other places to eat and shop. The apartment itself was wonderful with 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen with more cabinet space than anyone could ever need, a spacious living and dining room, and a terrific covered front porch that was perfect for relaxing and having coffee in the morning. Of course the infamous Kauai roosters were a shock the first morning when the started screeching at 3:30 AM, but we almost got used to them by the time we had to leave a week later. Bob was terrific with his recommendations and so helpful. He sent someone the next morning when we couldn't figure out how to operate the tv and all the remotes. I would definitely tell people to stay at the hale if they want a very relaxing, homelike atmosphere so that they can feel like locals rather than tourists. I have already told several friends about the place! If I return to Kauai, I would love to stay at Ohi'a Kai Hale again.
