Hale Niu ... TVNCU # 1217 ... TAT # TA-076-107-1616-01

Visade priser är för 8 gäster; ytterligare gäster upp till maximalt 10 är $ 200 per person / per vecka och semesterpriser är $ 250 per person / per vecka.

Tropiska vindar, havsutsikt och soliga vita sandstränder gör detta till ett idealiskt semesterhus. Det är möblerat i traditionell östil med ett fullt utrustat kök. På övervåningen är en stor havsutsikt master-svit med Kaliforniens kung, ett angränsande solrum med två enkelsängar och ett däck med 180 graders utsikt mot havet. Nedervåningen finns ytterligare två sovrum med vardera en dubbelsäng och eget badrum. Köket, matsalen och det centrala familjerummet erbjuder gott om plats, solljus och komfort för alla.

Centralt beläget i den pittoreska plantagen staden Kapaa på Kauai östra strand, hittar du en mängd olika aktiviteter. En strand skyddad av ett barriärrev ligger inom gångavstånd. Denna oroliga strand kallas "Baby Beach" av lokalbefolkningen på grund av den mjuka bränningen och säkerheten som mindre barn ger. Andra stränder i Kapaa erbjuder vindsurfing och kitesurfing eller njut av de många surfplatserna på östra stranden av Kauai.

Utforska också Hawaiis fantastiska havsliv genom snorkling och dykning eller njut av fiske. Vandra vandringslederna i Nounou (den sovande jätten), en skogsreserv som belöner din ansträngning med utsikt över hela ön. Paddla en kajak upp Kauais Wailua-flod, en av Hawaiis få flyttbara floder och utforska den berömda Fern Grotto, Secret Falls och kanjonen i Wailua-flodens inre. Golfare uppskattar att vara så nära den högst rankade Wailua Golf Course. På kvällarna kan du promenera till den historiska staden Kapaa och njuta av lokal hawaiisk mat och en mängd fina restauranger.

Njut av enkel tillgång till allt det bästa som Kauai erbjuder. Hale Niu är centralt beläget vid Na Pali-kusten, Princeville och charmiga Hanalei i norr, Poipu Beach i söder och den berömda Waimea Canyon i väster.

Efter en hektisk dag kan du koppla av och koppla av i den privata och fridfulla miljön i Hale Niu. Sitt på den rymliga verandan i denna traditionella Kauai-semesterbostad i Hawaii-stil och titta på kokosnötträd som svänger i en mjuk tropisk bris.

This house was perfect for exploring Kauai. Easy walk to the ocean. Fast drive to either side of the island. Plenty of hikes close by. Bike path is right there for biking, running or strolling. Down town Kapa'a is a close walk. Kitchen was very well stocked. Safeway is a close walk. There was plenty of room for all of use. 4 kids shared the upstairs room and the adults each had a room and bathroom. The ocean breeze keeps the house cool. The only thing I would change is a keyless entry so we wouldn't have had to pick up/drop off keys. But that is a very minor improvement. We had a magical week and I would go back and stay in the same spot over and over. Loved Kauai.

Perfect beach house for family

We spent Thanksgiving at Hale Niu with our children and their spouses. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and could use a few courtesy items like coffee filters, foil or spices. We played croquet on the front yard and did yoga. Danced under the moon and stars. Thanks for sharing this little Kapa’a gem!

Needs Attention, But Still A Piece of Paradise

The property is a decent size, but looks larger in the photos. The kitchen has everything you need to make full meals. The foldout sofa downstairs has a note that due to rust it cannot be used, but there are still three bedrooms and a total of one king, two queens and two twin beds throughout the house. The pillows and mattresses are VERY firm. The shower in the master is smaller than I expected. The carpet needs to be replaced. There was food trash under the bed in the master. The sliding door in the kitchen does not open fully. That said, the place is spacious and beautiful and it is very close to the beach. You can see the ocean behind the house across the street, and right around the corner is the beach. However, the actual beach access point is at least a five minute walk down the street. There is a cement wall and rock barrier that restricts you from walking on the sand for at least a block. You may have to sleep with the windows open if you are used to central air, and you may need to pack ear plugs because Kauai is full of roosters that crow all day and night. The house is for sale, so I understand why not much is being spent on it, though. It's still on paradise and centrally located to a lot that Kauai has to offer. I'd stay there again.

Great location with room to spread out!

Very comfortable house! Has one of the best equipped kitchens we've found in a vacation rental. Our group of 4 (my husband and I + our 2 twenty-something kids) found the location very convenient to explore the island or walk to town along the coast. Fabulous porch and spacious front yard provided lots of room for relaxing.

Best location

Staying at Hale Niu was a great choice for its central location. The 3+ bedroom with 3 baths home was spotless and its size allowed all 5 of us adults to relax and stretch both in and outdoors. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with dishes, pots and pans and dishwasher and the dining area was delightful. The huge lanai with table and reclining lounges was a favorite! We had a small view of the ocean but ocean access right across the street and beautiful sun rises. Even had a washer and dryer which was very helpful! We loved this home!

Great Place for Adult Families

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 really enjoyed this property, not only is Kapa'a a great central location to the island making it easy to go north, south or west but it is small and pleasant. This house is spacious, clean and uncluttered. It may be dated a bit but it is clean and that is what matters. Most places are dated as it is hard and expensive to get materials to the islands. There are a couple of items needing to be fixed, like the sliding door and a couple of windows but these would not keep from renting again. Having 3 bedrooms w/ 3 bathrooms was key to having 6 adults in the house. The house stays very cool with the fans and louvered windows, being close to the shore allows a lot of cool ocean air to flow in. Having parking was a huge plus too. The home is up for sale, if it were to still be a rental we would look to use it again in the future.

Everything was perfect for our 3 generation trip to Kauai!

We can't stop talking about how perfectly the house was laid out for our extended family. The weather was perfect and in January no less. We loved Kapaa and the whole central location. It was just sad when we had to leave. We ate every meal at the house. Costco and Safeway are near and we had fabulous food. The kitchen (galley) is so conventient. We used the grill 3 times. Grilled pineapple is the best! The kids loved all the toys and games from the laundry room. Our trip was a little slice of heaven. Thanks so much.

Perfect for our large family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is in a great central location so one head to Hanalei (north shore) or out west to Waimea Canyon with ease. Close to lots of restaurants, food trucks, beaches and shopping. I loved that there was plenty of parking and no need to worry about finding a spot. Lovely neighborhood and friendly neighbors. The house was fully stocked with plenty kitchen equipment, towels and blankets. BBQ grill was very handy. We stayed with our adult children (& spouses) and having three bathrooms was wonderful. So close to the beach, we got up every morning and walked down to watch the sun rise. The rental company also left us some complimentary tote bags, cooler bags and welcome treats. Overall, we were very pleased and we rent this property again.

I felt the pictures made it look small, but to my surprise it was really big!!! The beds were the worse!!! Spend some money on new mattresses. The neighbors to the back were loud and cursing a lot and my grand babies were with us. Dislike that very much . Also ,didn’t feel comfortable in the area after reading the warning about burglaries in our area.

Needs Some Love

Pros Good location, large outdoor grassy area, well stocked kitchen, quick responses from management Cons Dated property (rust in some areas, stains on floor and carpets), ants on countertops (we kept everything very clean but there were many small ants) and in bathroom, termite droppings near the bathroom by the floorboards, noise from the street/cars at night, noise from construction on house next door (building noise and loud cursing), dead bugs on the bathroom ceiling that had not been cleaned, lots of wear and tear

Good for groups and Centrally Located

We recently stayed with a group of friends and a toddler at Hale Niu for 1 week. The house was a good layout for our group, with the kitchen serving as the gathering point. The house is in okay shape, but you can tell it hasn't been updated in a while and shows signs of the constant sea wind on the outside. The property description should be updated to reflect that there used to be an empty lot across the street, offering direct sea view and access, but now there is a house under construction there, blocking the view. 100ft to the ocean is not really accurate -- it's a 5-10 minute walk down the street to beach access. You can also walk from the house into town along a paved seashore path, which is nice. Kapa'a has some nice restaurants and shops for browsing.

"For some, it may be the trip of a lifetime. For others, it may be a yearly event. This is a splendid place to relax. Our guests are 'energized' when they go home. That's what we mean when we say, 'magical Kauai.' " This genuine business model embodies the Hawaiian word, 'Aloha,' and it has gained much recognition within the industry and business venues, including numerous awards.

Lucy concludes, "I am deeply grateful for our recognition and awards. Yet, it is the phone call, with heartfelt and glowing remarks about a visit to Kauai from a satisfied guest that brings us great joy. Therein lies our greatest achievement."
