We rented this property for 18 nights. My husband and I brought my parents, our son and our daughter and her boyfriend. This property was amazing. It had everything we needed. Its in the perfect location to walk to shipwreck and poipu beaches. The green belt path makes it so nice to jump right on and walk at any time! Was our favorite early morning or late night walks. Laurie and Scott, thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us. We have made memories that will last a lifetime

We’re so glad you had a wonderful vacation. Thank you for your nice review. We hope you’ll return to Mele Hale.
When we arrived at the home, the entire place was sparkling and there was a lovely note greeting us. The home was absolutely perfect. For our family. All of the basic supplies we needed to feel at home and for relaxing on the beach. The hosts were really accommodating and went above and beyond to accommodate our travel schedule. Amenities were close by yet far enough to feel away from any foot traffic. Would highly recommend this home to any travelers to this beautiful part of the island!

Thanks for your nice review! So happy our home provided a great location for your family vacation!
It was an amazing location and very clean. Great communication and fast. Very gracious folks and let us add a day in! Some updates on the furniture like the lamp in the bedroom (which was broken) and some other small issues wear and tear on the house. Would have loved a small supply of kitchen basics like sugar and oil. Ran out of TP. Overall was a lovely stay!
We had a great time. Laurie & Scott were the absolute bestWe have rented many VRBO homes and this was with out a doubt off the charts terrific !!!The both of you made our trip very memorable

Hosts were very helpful and super responsive to my annoying questions. House was as advertised and our family had a great time and would have given 11 out of 10 if that was an option.

Thanks for your kind review! We’re so hlad your family had a great vacation!
We try together as a family every summer on a beach somewhere. Everyone agreed that this was by far the best home ever. Never mind it was in Kauai. Minutes walk from a beautiful beach. Minutes walk to anywhere you’d want to go for food or adult time. Five minute drive to old town. The home itself was child friendly and also very very comfortable. Perfect for gathering as a group. Outside of the gated yard is a wonderful walkway and grassy area to play frisbee or tag or anything else. The kids wanted to do the walkway itself takes you to beach where you can see the turtles come up in the evening or in the morning, my daughter said she saw at least 50. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had ahead of time. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us.
