Great house and host for the family.

Close to the beach, an easy 5-10 min walk. The beaches were amazing. Kids loved playing tennis and pickleball! Some days we wished there was AC but other days the ocean breeze was just right!

Great House, Superb Location

This was an our first time staying on the south side of the island and we couldn’t have picked a better location. The house is walking distance to great beaches and a short drive to the south side’s best restaurants and shopping. The house was missing a few things we needed but the host was very responsive to get the needed items to us asap. We would totally stay here again.

Everything as Advertised

This property was everything we hoped it would be. Lots of room for our adult children. Great rooms for everyone to spread out in. The kitchen was perfect for family meals which saved us several times since restaurants on the island can be hard to find sometimes. A bonus was the beach equipment like the chairs, cooler and umbrellas. We left a few boogie boards for the next guests

Great location!

Great location! Easy walk along landscaped walking paths to beaches, restaurants and shops. We loved the cool breezes when lounging on the top deck. We had a minor issue when the dishwasher stopped working but it was remedied right away. Great response time from the management.

Great Place to Stay, Beautiful and Close to Poipu Beach

We really enjoyed our week at Hale Kai Kea. The house is so beautiful and comfortable. We joined two other couples on our vacation, and each couple enjoyed a separate suite with our own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with cookware and dishes, there are coolers and beach chairs available in the shed in back, and the outdoor grill was great to have as well. We also made good use of the large living room, two outdoor decks and lovely front porch. As for the location, it was within easy walking distance to Poipu Beach, where green turtles and monk seals are common sights, and the swimming and surfing are fantastic. Other nearby attractions include Makuawaki Cave, Secret Beach and the Allerton/McBryde Gardens. Highly recommend!

Great place for our family.

The house worked out very well for us. The bonus room was great for our 4 children; they hung out there mostly (and in the yard) which allowed the adults the run of the living area. We loved the lanai and the secluded patio area. We did have a glitch with the refrigerator but the manager and owner were very quick to respond. In hindsight it may have been that we overloaded it with Costco stuff and it just had a hard time catching up. It was a little further from the house to Poipu Beach than I expected but it was a perfect beach for the younger kids.

We stayed at this property in mid-August, and it was truly perfect for our family of 7 adults. The layout was ideal, with just the right number of beds and bathrooms, and the home was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and charming, and the location was ideal - close to beaches, shopping, and even a little fruit stand up the street, which we visited often. The thoughtful touches made our stay even better: plenty of towels (including beach towels), shampoo/conditioner, soaps, luggage racks, and a wagon full of beach chairs and umbrellas. The only downside - and it was significant in the August heat - was the lack of air conditioning. We knew going in that there wasn't AC, but reviews suggested the ocean breeze and fans provided would be sufficient. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for us. Even with multiple fans running and all windows open, the house stayed uncomfortably hot, making it difficult to sleep. The bamboo curtains blocked much of the airflow, and the back room with the twin beds was particularly stifling. It got so unbearable that my daughters and I stayed in a hotel for a night to get a decent night's sleep. Aside from the heat, the home itself was absolutely lovely and well-suited for families. I would happily stay again in cooler months or if they add AC.

Perfect Family Stay in a Beautiful Location

We had an excellent stay at this property as a family of six adults and two toddlers. The house was absolutely perfect for us—spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. The location was ideal, set in a beautiful and peaceful area. We especially enjoyed the pleasant walk to Poipu Beach, which was a highlight for all of us especially for the little ones. Communication with the host was excellent throughout—clear, prompt, and helpful. We also appreciated that our security deposit was returned promptly after our stay, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.The patio outside was a favorite spot to relax, surrounded by vibrant, blooming flowers that added to the charm and tropical feel of the home. It truly felt like a little slice of paradise, and we’re so grateful for the memories made here. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing and well-appointed getaway!

Perfect home for a family get together

We had a great time in this house for 4 days, enjoying the beauty of the island. A short walk to the beach. Very conveniently located to several restaurants and shopping areas. House is bright and airy, well equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms and clean bathrooms.

Great home in fabulous location. Walking distance to pool, 2 beaches, and Poi Pu point. Home has several comfortable gathering areas and bedroom location makes it seem like everyone has their own suite for our 3 couples. Well stocked with beach gear and kitchen items.

Optimal Poipou Location

Layout of the home worked great for privacy. We are a family of 6 so twin beds with toddler railings were quite uncomfortable for some. Other than that, the house was very comfortable and spacious and we really loved the upstairs deck with relaxing views. The location was top. Central location in the community couldn’t be beat with short pleasant walks to 3 beaches. We had a small issue with appliances and the property management was quick to respond and resolved the issue. We would definitely recommend this property.

Ideal Location

My partner and I travel to Kauai each Christmas with my sister and brother. It can be challenging to find a place to house all of us comfortably. This space really worked out. And, was in perfect location…We walked the trails each morning, easily hit the beach and then the pool…We’d stay again.
