Great place to stay on the “quiet side” of Kaua’i. Beautiful home right across the street from walkable quiet beach with the added plus of a great hot tub. Excellent proximity to Waimea Canyon and Koke’e state park for great hiking. Longer drive to north coast and Lihue/Poipu areas but for us the trade off was well worth it. Would definitely recommend.
Hale Makai was a perfect refuge and a great location for our stay on Kauai. The hot tub was a huge plus post-hike and Liz and Chad were awesome hosts! They provided everything we needed, from fully stocked kitchen to beach accessories.
We had a wonderful time. Home was exactly as pictured. Kitchen well stocked & even had food storage containers & foil which is rare in house rentals. Very comfortable, would rent again!
We absolutely loved our stay! We met Liz and Chad who were both so welcoming and gave us great recommendations of places to eat and things to do on the island. The hot tub was a great way to end our long days. We loved the town and location. We will definitely stay again!
Just as described and as pictured. Super cute, clean and welcoming. We loved having the hot tub to use every evening. Great location for getting to Waimea Canyon. Would definitely recommend this place and we would stay here again!
Everything was wonderful about this home! Location was quiet, impeccably clean, comfy beds, fun hot tub!! What an amazing place to stay to enjoy one of the most beautiful places on earth! Everything was thought of in this cozy home! Thank you for a fantastic stay!
Host was very available and receptive to dealing with a minor problem and checking on us in general. The houseis terrific, a 2BR/2BA spacious and charming cottage with screened porch and hot tub. Very attractive outside plantings and sitting area.
Pictures on the Vrbo app do not do justice to how beautiful this house is! The house was super clean, lots of open space, the kitchen stocked full of utensils for cooking, and the air conditioning worked great. We enjoyed the 2 bedrooms and bathrooms being separated in the house for extra privacy, a small but great feature when you have 2 couples and people waking and sleeping at separate times. Mattress was super comfortable. Showers had plenty of hot water. The lanai was pleasant early in the cooler mornings. We didn't use the hot tub, as we visited Salt Pond Beach most days. All in all, Liz and Chad were great hosts and the experience exceeded our expectations! We would definitely love to stay here again!
We COMPLETELY enjoyed our stay at Hale Makai! The home was very comfortable - just as advertised! It was quiet with lovely decor and a beautiful yard and lanai. The hot tub under the stars and moon was delightful! We had everything we needed and loved coming back to the house after a day of exploring and watching the beautiful sunsets at Kekaha Beach. Even though it is located in the far west, we found it very convenient for all of our adventures. It was easy to get to anywhere from Kekaha. We go to meet one of the hosts, Chad and he gave us a ton of great tips for exploring and food. We highly recommend Hale Makai!
Everything was perfect and the location was away from the resorts and so peaceful. The hosts were kind and welcoming and the property was wonderfully appointed and beautifully kept. Thank you for helping us have the vacation we needed.
Liz & Chad were great with communication and had wonderful recommendations for places to see and places to eat! The property was very clean and very close to the ocean, where we found ourselves every day of our stay! If you’re looking for more authentic Kauai this is the place for you!We look forward to our next trip out!
Loved staying at this place during our time on Kauai! Very clean and comfortable, quiet, and had everything we needed. Great access point to Waimea Canyon and Koke'e Park. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing stay at Hale Makai! It has everything you need, very clean and comfortable. Loved the location, it was perfect for us. We met Liz and she was an amazing host. Mahalo Liz and Chad!
We had a nice stay at Hale Makai. The hosts were very responsive and were happy to help in anyway they could. The area is great, quiet & not a load of tourists (like me).
Liz and Chad were great hosts and the property was as advertised. It is in a great location for lounging and enjoying the quiet side of the island. We would love to visit again!
Loved the stay - great house - super comfortable! Only down side is the distance from everything (grocery stores/reataurants) but it certainly isn’t the owners fault. Very quiet stay!!!
