Beautiful property with stunning views of the Pacific. Easy access to beaches, shops and we took in the beautiful sunset each evening. Peaceful, quiet and fell asleep to the sound of the waves.

The rental is truly gorgeous. Walkable to the beach and a lovely shopping center / restaurants. We appreciated all of the great gear they had available for beach days with kids. Oceanfront home with a grass yard and hot tub / hammock is just a dream. Sunsets were unreal.

Location and house are excellent. House is well supplied and clean. Pictures are accurate. Garden Island Rentals was easy to reach and responsive Would stay here again. Only complaint is that the towels are cheap and need to be replaced. The quality of the towel is compared to a wore towel you would fine from a courtyard Marriott.

Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Hale Nalu and would rent it again. It was in a perfect location. It was walking distance to a shopping center with restaurants. We even walked to Spouting Horn. As advertised it is virtually steps to Baby Beach. You can watch the people at the beach from the back porch. The table on the deck was perfect for afternoon card games. And the lounge chairs on the deck were great for evening cocktails watching the sunset and the waves rolling in. The house was clean and well maintained. Our only disappointment was the refrigerator. It was not the same one that was in the pictures. It was much smaller and had only 3 small ice trays-not enough to keep up with our evening cocktails. The house is very private. There are neighbors close, but you don't see them.

Wonderful Location!

Terrific location for a relaxing stay away from it all but close enough to shopping and restaurants for a balanced vacation. Wonderful home which is well stocked and maintained right next to the baby beach. Saw some amazing sea turtles and monk seals while there and our family enjoyed the hammock and hot tub frequently after hikes or a long day at the beach. Will definitely be returning in the future! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Incredible Beach House

Beautiful home and great location. Breathtaking sunsets and close to restaurants, shopping and beach access. We saw dolphins and turtles from our porch, and the HOT TUB was the best! It was so fun to sit in after a day of hiking and sightseeing. Hope to stay there again. Garden Island rentals was great to work with. A plus in my book.

Blissful stay!

There were six adults in our group, and we could not have enjoyed the house more. It’s so comfortable and the views are so amazing that we found it hard to want to leave. Whale watching from the deck. Large, well outfitted kitchen and comfortable beds. What more could you want? We loved it and highly recommend it. Garden Island Properties were also great to work with. Very responsive and helpful.

Perfect Poipu Oceanfront Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We returned to Hale Nalu after renting it almost 20 years ago. It proved even better than we remembered. The home was spotless. The views were spectacular. And the sound of the ocean was transformative. Hale Nalu has everything we needed for the perfect, chill Kauai escape. Having plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards was bonus. On our last day, 2 monk seals came onshore at the baby beach right next door! We will return- and this time we won’t wait 20 years!

Would definitely book again

We asked if they could supply a second coffee maker for a couple friends that drink decaf. Granted, they only advertise coffee pot. But when you lag over 11k I would expect that they would be more willing to accommodate a 20 request. Overall, I would book the property again but had a bad taste in my liutb with their unwillingness to accommodate a minor request.

Incredible oceanfront home

Let me start by saying it’s not easy to get to Kauai during covid... the 72hr quarantine bubble in a hotel makes you think twice about going. Airlines canceling your flight 5 days before isn’t helpful. This house made it worth all the hassle. Everything you could want in an oceanfront home. Steps from baby beach which is wonderful for kids. Watching the sun set and the waves crash from the deck & hot tub. House was fully stocked with everything you need. Property manger was very helpful as we had to change dates multiple times due to travel restrictions and flight issues. We will 100% be returning to this house in the future, hopefully without a 72hr quarantine!

Gorgeous views and great location

Perfect stay on Baby Beach. Easy access to the sand and shopping/dining. Home is beautiful. Kitchen could be a little better stocked for such a nice home. The upstairs master does have a steep set of stairs and could be difficult if you had guests with limited mobility. The feral cat that visits is very friendly and we fed her as suggested but she didn’t eat much. Only had one BIG issue - water started running down thru a can light in the kitchen when one of the guests was using the upstairs jacuzzi tub. We called and left voice/text messages and never heard from anyone until the following morning - 12 hours later. The water did eventually stop flowing but if that were my home, I would have been a little more attentive to something so disasterous!

Hale Nalu - Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the house is wonderful with all the features you want in a beachside vacation destination. The views from this property are awesome and the sounds of the surf could not be better. Every night we were treated with wonderful sunsets from the comfortable back lanai and once sunset passed, we enjoyed the relaxing spa before retreating to bed. The house is very tastefully decorated and appointed and you’ll not need much more than your food and drink to enjoy your stay. Rooms are spacious and restful and do not worry about the lack of a/c, as there are plenty of breezes flowing through the home. The neighborhood is very quiet and an extremely short distance to great eating and shopping options.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our fourth time to rent this property for a week. We hope to return again next year. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway for our family of grandparents/parents and two young children. Open the windows, feel the breeze off the water, share a meal on the lanai. We shopped at nearby farmers markets (Saturday at the community college and Wednesday at the nearby shopping center), walked to the nearby restaurants, lolled at the beach with the kids. Very slowed down pace. Kitchen well supplied, lots of room to prepare meals. Yard is perfect for little ones. Steps from the reef-protected bay, which is safe for small children.

Fall in Love with Your Grandkids all over again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spotless, artfully decorated space, but not filled with precious breakables you must stow away from curious hands, with entire walls of south-facing sliding door windows for natural lighting and ocean breezes. 5 minute walk to trendy shopping center with pizza, burgers and upmarket eateries, a pricey but well-supplied organic grocer and fish store, drug store. House on tiny lane with many walkers, so comfortable on foot and quiet feel. 1 minute walk to a reef-enclosed flat water beach for sand castles and kiddie snorkeling. Master bedroom upstairs is dreamy big. Plenty of beach toys, boogie boards. Hot tub on lanai well maintained.

Aloha Gordon, We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Hale Nalu! Can't beat the quiet lane the home is off of and the quick walk to Baby Beach. You are correct about the master bedroom, nice to have it upstairs away from the rest of the house with its own private lanai! We look forward to hosting you again in the future. Mahalo!
