Week in Paradise

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe our stay and what an amazing property Hale Ani is. We stayed there 22 years ago and it felt like a home coming being back in 2024. The location to the ocean, Brennecke and Poipu beaches can’t be beat. Koloa and Poipu were convenient and fun shopping destinations. The front porch was the launch pad for all of our mornings and evenings where we drank coffee and cocktails and watched whales, dolphins, sea turtles and beautiful sunsets. At the beaches there were more sea turtles, more than 10 monks seals sittings, and of course body surfing and snorkeling. A magical island, location and accommodation. A great value for a family vacation. We will be back.

Perfect spot

Hale Ani was way better than expected. The photos don’t do justice to the setting and views. The “Mai Tai Lanai” was a fabulous place to soak in the spirit of Kauai. Unlike other reviews, we found the home in good order, clean and ready for enjoyment. Sure, there were occasional fisherman parked out front (curiously right below the “no parking” signs), but they were much more of a welcome distraction than a nuisance. As a matter of fact, if you introduce yourselves, you might find that they are lovely, respectful folks and you just might score some fresh catch! Parrish was responsive to our every need. They sent supplies and assistance very, very quickly when requested. As a family it was wonderful staying and doing things together, in a great place.

A great location

We did have a good time at this location. Sitting on the lanai watching the waves beat on the rocks at the beach was very lovely. It was a very close walk to the beach. We were able to see whales jumping from the Lanai. We were there for a very big wind and rain storm. The skylight leaked very badly so that when we got up in the morning we had a huge puddle in the bathroom. We also had a problem with the windows opening. The unit is beautiful but is not as well taken care of as I would have expected for the price. The keys did not work well in the back door that we came in every day from the garage. There were several beach chairs and lots of snorkeling gear and umbrellsa in the garage for use. That was a huge plus.

Aloha Bonnie, Mahalo for your review. We agree, Hale Ani is a great cottage with the perfect location next to Poipu Beach. I do see that the skylight broke during a bad storm and we apologize for any inconvenience. That has since been replaced. We are confused as we searched all our records and during the three conversations we had with you while you were here, you did not mention any issues. I will also note that the garage is separate from the house, so not sure how you could have entered the home from the garage. In any event, we are glad you had a good time and look forward to hosting you again soon.

BEAUTIFUL views - everything else JUST okay

The price you are paying for your stay at this property is 100% for the location and the view. Which, are perfection. Views are stunning, but also expect lots of people to park in front of the home and blast their music while you’re there. It happens nightly. View aside, the rest of the house isn’t anything exceptional. In fact, it was a little disappointing. The cleanliness of the home was our biggest complaint. My nephew is 14 months old and was crawling around on the floor for 10min after arriving and his knees were black. Then, we found a toe nail on the living room rug which clearly was not vacuumed prior to our arrival, and we woke up to a nice sized cockroach in the kitchen our second morning. This was all shocking considering there’s a cleaning fee every guest has to pay. Aside from the cleanliness - the electrical was super wonky. We would shut off the kitchen light, and it would then turn on the spare room’s bedroom light and vice versa (super weird). Some light switches didn’t work at all. The beds are also REALLY uncomfortable and hard. Three days in and everyone was having back pain. Lastly, the whole place needs updates. The furniture is dated, the walls have patchwork done with different colors and then no one bothered to repaint, the washer and dryer are rusty, and don’t work great, TV’s are dated, Neither bathroom have a fan and the years of humidity are causing the ceiling to crack and peel, baseboards to warp, etc. The shower door is constantly falling off the track and hard to open. Like I said the views and location were amazing and any stay in Kauai is worth it, but this house needs some work.

Mahalo for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed the location and view of the home, but we are somewhat surprised to hear about your other concerns and do apologize. Had we known we missed these items, we certainly would have had someone go back to correct our mistakes. Cleanliness is one of our top priorities and we would have happily sent our housekeeping team back to address them. I do see we checked in with you during your stay and there was no mention of any of your concerns. We will get someone in to check the switches as I can see that would be frustrating. We do know the fan/light remotes got switched and they were interfering with each other, but those have been since corrected. In terms of other overall upgrades, the owners are constantly updating and replacing things every year, but we will look at the list to see if we need to reprioritize anything. Next time, please let us know during your stay of any deficiencies so we can better your vacation. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Aloha.

One of the BEST places we have ever stayed in Hawaii. The house is very clean, well maintained, well equipped, 3 bedrooms and 2 bath, a large and modern kitchen with full equipment and a large living room. The property manager, David with THE PARRISH COLLECTION KAUAI, were very responsive and showed up in time to make sure we got the TV working for USA World Cup SoccerGame on July 1st. oh yah and I forgot!!!, FIVE STAR WITH A MILLION DOLLARS VIEW : a large lanai with direct view of the ocean , this is the BEST lanai ever.You are across the street from a beach, around 10 minutes from couple of great shopping centers .very comfortable for a family of 4 or 5.ENJOY

Hale Ani

We absolutely loved staying in this home. I’ve stayed many many VRBO’s. This home is run by a local management company and we were welcomed with excellent communication and them leaving the lights on for us when we arrived after dark. I would stay here again without hesitation. We had everything we needed and loved eating meals or playing games on the front porch watching the waves come and and the sun go down. Mahalo!

What a fantastic property!! Everything you need for your stay. The lanai was the place to hang out. Morning coffee and evening sunsets couldn’t be better. Location was perfect. Beaches, great places to walk, shops, grocery and nice restaurants. Can’t wait to go back.

Dream location

This house was perfect for the vacation our family wanted after a year of shelter-in-place. Accommodations were luxurious, the view from the lanai was spectacular, and the location couldn't be better--so close to beaches. All the amenities were ideal, from the fluffy towels to the beach chairs. The house was a major part of how much we enjoyed our stay in Kauai.

Beautiful, well-appointment home, great location

The house has everything you need for vacation: fully appointed kitchen, lots of towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, body boards, snorkeling gear. No AC, but there are fans throughout the house. The lanai is amazing - true ocean view, and the sunsets are spectacular. Great location - walk to Brenneke's, Poipu Beach Park, or around the point to Sheraton's. Lots of guide books (and reading books) on the shelf. Garage and off street parking. Easy to get the key on our way in from the airport, nice staff at the property management company (they even have an app with helpful info). We would definitely come back.
