Hale Ohana - Beautiful 'House of the Family' - Poipu Beach - sleeps 6
Hale Ohana, meaning “family home,” is a simple, welcoming island retreat nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood just a short 10-minute walk from the crystal-blue waters and sandy shores of Poʻipū on the sunny south shore of Kauaʻi. Spend your days enjoying the island lifestyle—surfing, snorkeling, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun with your ʻohana.
This is our personal family home, and it is our kuleana (responsibility and privilege) to care for this space and to welcome guests in a way that reflects the true meaning of aloha—kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality. Our hope is to provide an affordable, comfortable place for families to experience the beauty and culture of Kauaʻi. Hale Ohana is not a luxury resort, but a clean, fully furnished home designed for those who value simplicity, connection, and a more authentic island experience.
The home comfortably sleeps 2–6 guests and features a newly remodeled kitchen with a contemporary, open-flow design—creating a warm, inviting space to prepare meals, gather, and share time together. Whether you’re cooking fresh island fish or enjoying takeout after a beach day, we hope this space adds comfort and ease to your stay.
Open the windows and let the gentle tradewinds (makani) flow through the home, bringing in the natural cooling and sounds of the island.
New Feature (Starting May 1st): For added comfort, Hale Ohana now offers full-house air conditioning throughout the home. Alongside the refreshing island breezes, this upgrade gives you the option to cool down and relax after a full day of exploring, adventuring, or enjoying the beauty of Kauaʻi.
Located in a true local neighborhood, Hale Ohana offers an authentic island living experience. You may see free-roaming chickens and encounter the occasional tropical critter—these are a natural part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi and part of the charm of staying in a residential hale rather than a resort.
Step into the backyard and enjoy a bit of island abundance, with avocado, papaya, ʻulu (breadfruit), and mango trees—available to enjoy when in season.
Within just a short 2–5 minute drive, you can experience breathtaking sunsets, seasonal whale sightings, honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), blowholes, and the stunning coastline of Poʻipū.
Hale Ohana is especially welcoming for families, with sand toys, boogie boards, a portable crib, and space to relax and reconnect after a day of adventure.
If you’re looking for a comfortable home base to explore the island—a place to cook, rinse off sandy feet, and gather with your ʻohana—Hale Ohana offers a meaningful and memorable way to experience the magic of Kauaʻi.
Please note: Hale Ohana is located in a Tsunami Zone. An evacuation map is available on the refrigerator and in the Welcome Binder for your reference.

About the host
Hosted by Lynelle and Rita
We purchased this property in 1970 and enjoyed many wonderful years here until 1981, when we relocated to the Bay Area. The home has always held a special place in our hearts, filled with memories of family, island living, and time spent together. Since May 2017, we’ve been grateful to return to the islands, reconnecting with the home and the lifestyle we’ve always cherished.
Why they chose this property
To us, Kauaʻi is the most magical island in all of Hawaii. From the moment we arrived, we felt a sense of calm and aloha that wraps around you like a soft, warm breeze. Every corner invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. With its incredible beaches, waterfalls, and breathtaking sunsets, Kauaʻi feels like a place where time pauses just for us.
We love wandering along the golden sands of Poʻipū Beach or discovering a hidden cove along the dramatic cliffs of the Nā Pali Coast. Hanalei Bay is one of our favorite spots—there’s something magical about the way the mountains rise behind the soft sands, reflecting in the calm water. Every evening, we are drawn to watch the sunset. The sky transforms into a painting of deep pinks, fiery oranges, and soft purples as the sun sinks below the horizon. These moments feel like a gift, and we often pause, take it all in, and feel grateful to be here.
Although we reside on Oʻahu, Kauaʻi has always been our favorite escape—a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories with our family. We’ve loved seeing our grandkids explore, play, and discover the joys of island life—from running along the beach to enjoying tropical fruits in the backyard. These moments remind us why Kauaʻi will always hold a place in our hearts, and we hope this home continues to be a place where laughter, aloha, and family memories are made.
For us, Kauaʻi is the ultimate escape. It’s a place to let go of worries, where simple pleasures—a soft beach, a gentle breeze, a spectacular sunset—become unforgettable memories. Each day feels like a celebration of life here. And every time we leave, we carry a little bit of its magic with us, knowing Kauaʻi will always be a place of peace, joy, and aloha—for our family and for all who are lucky enough to experience it.
