Hale Lo'i Cottage: Luxury + Convenience in Poipu
This bright, spacious, brand-new 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage has everything you could possibly need for a flawless vacation—and luxurious perks galore, including an outdoor lava-rock shower. Located in a quiet, upscale neighborhood, this charming tropical hideaway is close to some of Kauai’s best beaches, shops, restaurants, and other irresistible attractions. If you just feel like relaxing in your beautiful, hardwood-floored home away from home, there’s high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, an air-conditioned bedroom with comfy king-size bed made up with posh Frette linens, and a full bath, stocked with deluxe Malie Organics sundries (shampoo, conditioner, bath lather, body lotion, and liquid hand soap, all subtly enhanced by Malie’s trademark Koke‘e fragrance).
When you’re ready to venture out, a wonderland of dazzling scenery and entertaining activities awaits. Close to home—within walking distance—you’ll find a picture-perfect sandy beach where you can swim, snorkel, surf, stand up paddle, jog, picnic, read, build sandcastles, or just soak up the restorative rays of the South Shore sun.
A few yards farther down the road is a truly enchanting shopping center: Then Shops at Kukui'ula. Here you can explore enticing restaurants, unique boutiques, beautiful art galleries, and a natural-foods market that features a large selection of delectable takeout fare. This popular hub also features seasonal celebrations and weekly events such as lively “Kanikapila” performances (Hawaiian-music jam sessions) and a colorful Culinary Market where you can stock your fully equipped kitchen with gloriously fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as homemade jams, jellies, and baked goods.
There are many other nearby attractions, too. The spectacular Spouting Horn blowhole is a must-see phenomenon, while the lush, flower-filled National Tropical Botanical Garden offers fascinating guided tours and free hula shows on certain days. It’s an easy walk to a sparkling seaside park, where you can swim, picnic, play lawn games, and catch the stunning sunset every evening. Also close by: several first-class hotels with all the usual public features restaurants that range from casual to elegant; ocean-view bars; state-of-the art spas; and intriguing gift shops.
Once you jump into the car, the menu of appealing excursions will expand so epically that you may wonder how an island the size of Kaua'i can boast such an amazing array of places to go, sights to see, and things to do. With easy access to the highway, Hale Lo'i is ideally located in the center of the island, with Waimea Canyon and expansive, pristine beaches to the west, and majestic Wailua Falls and scenic Hanalei town to the east and north, respectively.
Whether you’ve spent your time lazing at an idyllic white-sand beach, enjoying recreational activities, or being enthralled by the island’s magnificent landscapes, you’ll always come home to the lovely option of a refreshing splash under your own private waterfall: an outdoor shower made from gorgeously rugged lava rocks. Then it’s back to your sunny cottage to relax, revive, and get ready for the next adventure.

The best we have stayed at. Quiet, super clean, multi-million-dollar neighborhood. Less than a mile to the beach, yet no drunken people ruining your vacation. Thanks again!

Mahalo Shawn for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that Hale Loi Cottage was the best place you’ve stayed, that truly means so much to us.
We love that you appreciated the peaceful setting, the cleanliness, and the location. Being tucked into such a beautiful neighborhood while still being just a short walk to the beach really is the best of both worlds.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back to Kauai anytime!
Aloha David, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback and we're so glad you enjoyed this delightful cottage at Hale Lo'i!

We celebrated the 50th anniversary of our first date at the Hale Lo’i Cottage. It was a great location and lodging for a couple for the last week of a month in Hawaii. The cottage is perfect for a couple with ample space, storage and amenities. Great quiet neighborhood location walkable to dining and shopping options. A variety of nice beaches within a few minutes drive among many other area attractions. Wailani Kauai was a very responsive rental agency that was very welcoming and helpful beyond the booking.

Mahalo David! So glad you saved the best for your last week in Hawaii :). We look forward to hosting you again soon! - Wailani Kauai
We had a wonderful week in Poipu and were very pleased with the accommodations. Very quiet location within minutes of great snorkeling and restaurants. We also went up to Waimea Canyon, which was a beautiful drive, and went on the Canyon Trail hike. The hosts also included a binder with very useful information about the island, including recommendations for restaurants, activities, and places to visit. We highly recommend this place!

This is the perfect cottage for two people. It's roomy, comfortable, and in the best location - close to everything! The kitchen allows for cooking, the laundry machines are great for longer stays, the AC was wonderful and the outdoor shower is an added touch. The communication with the management company was easy.

This cottage is immaculate!! We loved our stay here!! Perfect location! We never wanted to leave Kauai!! I could live in this beautiful cottage for the rest of my life! We would come home from sunset on the beach and it happened to be a full moon that week and we would use the outdoor lava rock shower that was lit by the moonlight!!

Thank yo so much for sharing your impressions of this special home. We'd love to welcome you back again soon, and are honored to have been a part of your special trip to our magical island! Mahalo, Wailani Kauai
This is an excellent and very adorable cottage that is represented exactly like the pictures!! For our taste the location on the southern end is the best as there were plenty of places to see, eat and beach, compared to the northern area of the island. As for the cottage, we are heavy use VRBO couple and this, by far was the nicest and most up to date cottage we have ever stayed in. We very much recommend it!

The cottage was perfect for the two of us on our honeymoon! Amenities were great (washer/dryer was extremely useful). Bathroom was also nice—the shower was noteworthy. Everything was well stocked from welcome gifts and wine openers to utensils and coffee. The bed was a little finicky, hut we ended up taking off the foam topper which helped a lot. Prime location too! Poipu and Kōloa are awesome places to be on the island!!!

This property was by far, the best vacation rental we’ve experienced. We trace quite a bit, and are landlords ourselves. This property was well-put together and equipped. I met the owners upon check in accidentally, and they were very nice people. The neighborhood is fabulous and close to many conveniences like shopping or eating out. We will definitely return someday.

This little home away from home was just perfect for the two of us. We were here for a week for our 28th anniversary and it was all that the listing said and more! Our time here was special and we will not forget this place for future bookings. The location was great and the amenities were exactly what we expected, amazing. The bed was comfy and the hosts were welcoming and set the tone of our time here from the time of check in until the morning that we left. It was truly a great stay and we were sad to leave. Mahalo!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon in July. It was PERFECT! The concierge team was so helpful when it came to booking excursions and even an in-home massage!! The location is perfect! The neighborhood is safe, clean and perfect to live short or long term. The home was clean and offered everything we needed for a week stay. We highly recommend using the provided beach chairs, driving 1 min to Poipu beach for the sunset, and watching the sea turtles come right to you!The outdoor shower and comfortable bed are two notable benefits to booking here! We will be back for sure!

Mahalo Michael for your kind words and five star review! We’re thrilled to hear that Hale Lo‘i Cottage was the perfect place for your honeymoon, what an honor to be part of such a special occasion! It’s great to know our concierge team could help make your stay even more memorable with excursions and a relaxing in-home massage. Happy to hear the neighborhood's peaceful charm, proximity to Poipu Beach and watching sunset with the sea turtles made your trip that more special! We’d love to welcome you both back whenever you’re ready for another island getaway! Mahalo and a hui hou, Wailani Kauai
We loved our stay here! The place is clean, comfortable, and overall really nice. The location is excellent — close to beaches, restaurants, shops and in a nice, quiet neighborhood.
I would most definitely stay here again!
My only issue that I’d knock off half a star off for is that it’d get a little warm at night. I woke up hot nearly every morning. A lighter weight blanket and a full length mirror would be nice additions.
