Extra spacious living areas offer plenty of room to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Roomy, air conditioned bedroom suites offer the perfect end to a perfect island style day. The chef(s) in your group will greatly appreciate the well equipped kitchen. They may even want to venture out to one of our Farmer’s Markets for some fresh local produce to include in one of their tropical culinary creations. Enjoy the tropical breezes and fragrant scents from the multiple seating and dining areas on the expansive, wrap around lanai that offers panoramic ocean, mountain and coastline views.

Feel like you are on top of the world as this home is located at the highest point in Poipu on the top rim of an extinct crater that overlooks the Poipu Resort area.

Great house for large families

We had a large group at the house and it was perfect for our needs. Plenty of room to mingle or spread out. The kitchen was great and two dishwashers really helped. Lots of great beach gear including towels, umbrellas, boogie board and snorkel gear came in handy. Would definitely recommend this house and hope to come back soon.

A Vacation Home to Remember

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: Our family of 8 stayed at this property to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The one word that comes to mind is "breathtaking"! The views from the lanai (mountains, ocean, birds, etc) were absolutely spectacular. The decor of the home was so tasteful and beautiful, and the layout was perfect for our family. We loved having all of the bedroom on the lower floor, and the massive living/entertainment area upstairs. We used every bit of the home, from the TV area to the dining area, to the hangout space. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out, but also provided perfect spaces to spend quality time together. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked, and more than enough towels and beach gear. The ping pong table was also a bit hit with the grandkids! This property definitely exceeded our expectations - We will definitely revisit during our next visit to Poipu!

Perfect house, perfect view, perfect location!

There were 12 of us staying in this spacious house! Two bedrooms in the carriage house and four bedrooms in the main house. The best part is: every bedroom has its own attached bathroom! The top floor is an open floor plan with huge seating areas and the most beautiful lanai! There’s a nice walking path down to Poipu Beach with turtles, monk seals and the best hot dog stand ever! It’s also really close to a couple beaches that are perfect for babies and toddlers. I had excellent text communication with the property managers, who were always very timely and helpful.

The house is very well outfitted and maintained, and the property management folks checked in with us regularly to make sure we had what we needed. They even texted with a gentle reminder about putting out the trash! Definitely want to stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the most magical time staying at Hale Hapuna! The wrap around lanai balcony is spectacular and the views are insane! It’s the perfect place for a large group and only 5-10 minutes walking to the beach and the Grant Hyatt. The house had everything we could possibly need (snorkel gear, bodyboards, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc). We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

50th Birthday Bash

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: Stay at the house was great. There were a couple minor issues with the kitchen sink and dryer but the management company was awesome trying to fix the issue and it was just a small inconvenience and did not impact our fun time. The home was spotless when we arrived and that is very important to me. One of the best things about the house besides the view from the balcony was the beach chairs and towels provided as we had a big party and there was plenty for everyone and great quality. The kitchen had everything we needed and was fully stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils and good quality. It was my birthday and the day we arrived the rental company left me a beautiful bouquet of island flowers and a birthday card. So sweet! Moving forward I will try to VRBO again from the rental company as they are wonderful to work with.Carolyn from Az

Even better than the photos

This is a beautiful property, with unbelievable views of the water and the lush island from each level. There's ample outdoor deck space and windows and doors to open for a cross-breeze. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well-appointed and having a bathroom for each bedroom is a huge bonus. In the main house they are all ensuite and the Ohana has one in the hallway. In April, those from our group in the Ohana said with windows and fans they slept fine without air conditioning. The main house has a mini-split ac in each bedroom. We found the kitchen well-stocked for cooking meals. The furniture and rugs are a bit worn out and all the wicker makes it hard to get comfortable, but there’s a large dining table for gathering and lots of seating on the wraparound deck. The guest closet in the garage is stocked with toys, chairs, snorkels, bikes, and boogie boards. There are beach towels by the front door and a clothesline for drying. You can walk to Poipu Beach and a shopping center with a Starbucks, restaurants, and surf/gift shops. Big Save grocery store is only about a 5-minute drive away. We parked two minivans and a car in the driveway and could have fit another. Overall the house exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful trip!

Hale Hapuna is Amazing!

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hale Hapuna is absolutely beautiful!Spacious, spotless, and in a fantastic location, this home truly has so much to love. The beds are very comfortable, and the furniture is clean and cozy, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils and gadgets you need to make anything from a quick snack to a full meal.One of the best parts is the location, you can walk to the beach, a surf shop, and couple of eateries (Puka Dog & Brennecke Beach Broiler). It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a morning or evening walk.The only downside is that the upstairs area doesn't have A/C. However, there are plenty of ceiling and floor fans, and you can open the windows to let in the cross breeze. Just note that the sliding windows don’t have screens, so we had a few feathered visitors fly in! Honestly, we didn’t mind, it added to the charm. That said, it would be great if the owner added screens for future guests.Even with that small issue, I would absolutely recommend Hale Hapuna to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay in paradise. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

Great location. House accommodated all of us with room to spread out. Upstairs livingroom and lanai views were incredible. Entertaining our local family was nice in the spaciousness of the upstairs living and dining area. The curtain/shades in main house were mostly not working but we made due. Enjoyed ourselves and will try to rent again!

Overall review

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The lockbox code was not given for the cottage property and took about 2 hours to receive a response back through the emergency contact number.On top of that, the curtains were done in a time manner. HOWEVER, upon inspecting the cottage prior to leaving (I didn’t stay there, I stayed in the main house), I realized the restroom curtains were never properly installed. Instead, it was some cloth that my parents found lying around that they used for a privacy screen. And their room sliding window with the 4 panels.. three 3 window has a long enough curtain but the last one in the left was halfway. Meaning, it was not long enough. According to them, they were tired of waiting for things to be put up property so they didn’t complain about it to me. And therefore was not a great stay for them..

Our family had a wonderful stay at Hale Hapuna. There were 15 of us and there was something for everyone, from the 3 year olds to the 70 year olds. It was a perfect vacation. Everyone enjoyed the walkable beaches, the beautiful views and the spacious living areas. We would definitely do it all over again!

Spacious Home with Beautiful Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We all had a wonderful time on this property! We used the in-law suite for the two couples in our party and had the families with kids in the main house. This allowed the couples more quiet time. The beach was within walking distance and the house was well stocked with beach stuff. We played lots of ping pong and it was nice to have the washer and dryer. The lanai had a lovely breeze with the most beautiful beach and mountain views perfect for chit chat, breakfast, or relaxing. One big negative however is the heat! There is no AC upstairs and two of the room ACs broke down. Maintenance was a bit slow, so minor issues like dead bulbs and clogged kitchen sinks became inconvenient. Also, the property needs deep cleaning - under the mattresses, drawers, etc. Overall, we had an amazing experience.
