This is a beautiful large house that had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and having laundry was a plus. It is within walking distance to two different beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location. Very close to the beach in both directions.

This home is very nice in a great location. With the Hyatt hotel nearby it gave us many options for dining and shopping. It feels centrally located to a lot of small towns. I will surely try to stay here again.

House was perfect for our family, and we appreciate that it came stocked with all the necessities (paper towels, laundry detergent, etc). Beaches in walking distance, pool and hot tub a short walk. Being right on the greenbelt was amazing. Highly recommend!

Graduation celebration

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: The house was comfortable and very clean. We spent every morning on the lanai having coffee and watching the sunrise to the sounds of birds. The location was perfect and walking to Shipwreck beach was a daily routine. We could not have hoped for a better place to stay for the week. We were very impressed with the graduation gift the staff provided to my son. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing summer vacation!

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 was our 3rd summer in Kauai and our favorite rental. Hale Nalu was prefect and its proximity to the beach was such a bonus. We were able to walk to the hotel for coffee each morning and loved the accessibility to hiking. The house was fully stocked. Our only adjustment was the lack of window coverings on the upper windows making sleeping past sunrise difficult. In the end, not a huge complaint because being up early allowed us to maximize our time in Hawaii!!

Idyllic vacation retreat for the family

Lovely, clean space. Comfortable with an amazing location. We spent every evening (and some mornings) on the beautiful back deck, enjoying the greenway views and frequent strolls down to the beach. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Wonderful house in a great location

We loved our stay! The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. We had 5 adults and a toddler and had plenty of room. It was our first time staying in this area of Kauai and we loved it. Being able to walk to multiple beaches was fantastic, especially with a toddler! Highly recommend!

Great property and great location right on greenbelt pathway. Two minor issues: lockbox combo was incorrect, garage is not included although listing says differently. We would all happily stay here again.

Great house for family of 5

The property was located to multiple beaches where we would walk or drive to. The house is well furnished and kitchen has what we need to make coffee and breakfast. We enjoyed sitting on the patio furniture outside in the morning. The beds are very comfortable. And we also loved that the house provided beach chairs and umbrella. Great home for our Kauai stay!

Everything was perfect with this home. Sean was super accommodating too! The cleanliness was the first thing we noticed, then the lanai! We were challenged by one thing… not wanting to leave! If you have a chance to stay here you will love it!
