Hale Nalu: Tropical Cottage in Poipu-Walk to Beach
Scenically situated on the Green Belt pedestrian pathway, this enchanting island-style home combines the casually elegant charm of a country-plantation retreat with an ideally convenient location. Not only is it close to everything—an easy stroll to beaches and restaurants, and a short drive to myriad other South Shore attractions—but the bonus perks include guest privileges at Poipu Kai's nearby facilities: resort-caliber swimming pool, hot tub, and tennis courts.
Inside, every hardwood-floored room is light, bright, beautifully furnished, and filled with art, from the inviting living area to the cheerful bedrooms to the impeccably equipped kitchen. There are thoughtfully curated details everywhere: vivid Hawaiian-themed paintings; ceiling fans with leaf-shaped blades; seahorse lamps; shelves adorned with sculptures, seashells, and other decorative objects; and a master bath with a dramatic Mediterranean-style soaking tub, to name a few. The attractive, many-windowed rooms flow into a large, lovely lanai that offers ample seating on lava-gray rattan furniture with indigo upholstery and throw pillows in shades of sea and sky. All in all, it's the perfect setting for casual meals, celebrations, BBQ feasts, or leisurely relaxation.
Just a few yards beyond the main lanai and grassy backyard is Poipu's iconic Green Belt: a pedestrian pathway that leads to idyllic beaches, appealing restaurants, and the Grand Hyatt Resort. (Bonus treat: the route winds through picturesque landscapes, with the glittering ocean never far from sight.) Slightly farther down the road are even more delights—world-class beaches, irresistible restaurants, intriguing shopping centers, exciting recreations—as well as highway access to the rest of the wondrous island of Kaua'i, where thrilling sightseeing and unforgettable adventures beckon in every direction.
TROPICAL AMBIENCE - Striking Hawaiian-themed paintings echo lush landscaping & the nearby sea - Abundant ceiling fans (some w/distinctive leaf-shaped blades) - Lots of sunny windows w/blinds & drapes for privacy + shade - Lanais comfortably furnished with rattan couches, armchairs, ottomans & daybed - Verdant, mature landscaping - Tall, graceful palms & fragrant plumeria trees - Tranquil views of green foliage, rolling lawns & blue, blue skies - Vast, grassy communal area just beyond backyard (great for lawn games)
ULTRA-CONVENIENT LOCATION + BONUS PERKS - Enjoy guest privileges at nearby Poipu Kai’s resort-style swimming pool + hot tub + tennis courts ($10/day to reserve court) - Green Belt walkway meanders through tropical landscapes & sea-view scenery to gorgeous beaches, enticing eateries & the Grand Hyatt Resort - Dozens of easy day-trip diversions, from the sunny seashore to the cool, misty mountains: natural wonders, tasting/sightseeing tours, botanical gardens, hiking, golf, water sports, learning opportunities, cultural festivities, famous movie locations & more - Also nearby: The Shops at Kukui'ula: restaurants, stores, boutiques & special events

Mahalo Alan! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Hale Nalu and appreciated the great location. We’d love to have you back next time you're on island!
House was perfect for our family, and we appreciate that it came stocked with all the necessities (paper towels, laundry detergent, etc). Beaches in walking distance, pool and hot tub a short walk. Being right on the greenbelt was amazing. Highly recommend!

This house is great. The porch in particular is just a fantastic place to have meals or just hang out. Easy walking distance to both Poipu beach and Shipwreck Beach. A really lovely place to stay!

We were blessed to be able to have our family stay in this lovely home. The hone is amazing, the location is perfect, and it has everything you could need. If we go back to Kauai, we will try to stay here again. I couldn't recommend it more. Kudos to the property management company, too. Great service and communication.
Great location. Very close to the beach in both directions.
This home is very nice in a great location. With the Hyatt hotel nearby it gave us many options for dining and shopping. It feels centrally located to a lot of small towns. I will surely try to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is great. The location on the Poipu Kai Greenbelt was a big bonus. Wailani (Sean) was on top of everything. Would stay here again.
Excellent location, super-comfortable lanai, very very nice house. We had a group of 3 couples and found this property to be perfect. Thanks for sharing it!

Such a great location! Close to all the spots we wanted to visit. Kitchen had all the things needed to cook meals at home when we wanted to rest & just relax at home.Our lanai was the best! Nice to each have our own bathroom.Walkway was a wonderful way to get around the neighborhood.Highly recommend Allerton Garden & sunset dinner; helicopter ride; private chef dinner; Poipu beach to see sea turtles; all the farmer’s markets; Shipwreck beach for sunrise. So many things to do! Mahalo for such a beautiful week
Lovely, clean space. Comfortable with an amazing location. We spent every evening (and some mornings) on the beautiful back deck, enjoying the greenway views and frequent strolls down to the beach. Would highly recommend to anyone!

We loved our stay! The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. We had 5 adults and a toddler and had plenty of room. It was our first time staying in this area of Kauai and we loved it. Being able to walk to multiple beaches was fantastic, especially with a toddler! Highly recommend!

Great property and great location right on greenbelt pathway.
Two minor issues: lockbox combo was incorrect, garage is not included although listing says differently. We would all happily stay here again.

Mahalo for your feedback and we are so happy you enjoyed your time at the gorgeous Hale Nalu! We look forward to welcoming you back again very soon.
The property was located to multiple beaches where we would walk or drive to. The house is well furnished and kitchen has what we need to make coffee and breakfast. We enjoyed sitting on the patio furniture outside in the morning. The beds are very comfortable. And we also loved that the house provided beach chairs and umbrella. Great home for our Kauai stay!

Mahalo for choosing Hale Nalu for your family vacation. We are happy to hear it was a great fit. We look forward to hosting you on a future trip to Kauai! - Wailani Kauai
We had a lovely stay in Kauai! The house was exactly as pictured- we loved having dinner every night on the lanai overlooking the greenway and took advantage of the beautiful walking paths to nearby beaches. The house was appointed with everything we needed including beach towels and chairs, laundry and central AC. Easy communication and check in/check out processes made it a perfect escape for our family. We hope to be back soon!

Everything was perfect with this home. Sean was super accommodating too! The cleanliness was the first thing we noticed, then the lanai! We were challenged by one thing… not wanting to leave! If you have a chance to stay here you will love it!

Aloha Joseph, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed this special home! Hale Nalu is perfect for a family trip to Kauai and its prime location is hard to beat. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Mahalo, Wailani Kauai
We couldn’t have been happier with our accommodation! Even better than the photos appear on the listing. Every room was spacious and well appointed. Location was amazing. Community pool access was better than expected as well. Few times that we contacted the the host they were helpful and responsive. Would absolutely recommend. Deserves the 5 star rating.

Aloha Randy, we are glad to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at this beautiful house on our magical island. We hope to welcome you back again for a return visit! Mahalo, Wailani Kauai
The home was spacious and beautiful with a big back patio overlooking the grassy green belt and walking path to a pretty beach. A short drive away is Poipu Beach Park which is great for snorkeling and swimming, and frequent sighting of sea turtles and seals. The house was equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and a cooler which made our beach trips much more convenient. Easy access to restaurants from here as well. Probably the best accommodation we’ve ever had on vacation.
