Perfect home base for a large group in Kaua’i

My family absolutely loved staying at Hale Hapuna! It was centrally located, so that we could take a leisurely walk to Poipu Beach. The home was very spacious, and we appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Mostly, though, we loved taking in the view and island breezes from the second floor!

Hale Hapuna

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!

Perfect Location

Came for a wedding and 15 of us stayed here. It was amazing. Everything they said it would be and more. For multiple families, it is perfect because every room has its own bathroom plus a bathroom upstairs for common area. View from the deck is mountains and the ocean. Location to Poipu beach was awesome!

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.

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!

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..

The views from the amazing balcony were one of my favorite things to wake up to every morning! Coffee on the comfy lounge chairs while I watched the sun come up was incredible. Little birds would come and visit while we were outside. The whole place had more than everything we needed and wanted for the beach and fully equipped kitchen! Thank you for hosting our family!

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.

Hale Hapuna Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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 rental home was great. Everyone had room to spread out and relax. Surprised that the plates in the kitchen were not to be used in the microwave.Garden Island Rentals was non responsive to me, Bev Cook, the listed renter. We used my daughter's phone to book the reservation, so she received all the information. Three times I asked for it to be changed, and it never happened. Also asked for additional information about the house, and never received an answer. I was the paying hostess for this accommodation, my credit card was used, but could never get anyone to remove Karen Ray, and change to Bev Cook. Frustrating!It's a good thing a stepladder was available for access to the kitchen cabinets, most of us could not reach the 3rd and 4th shelves. All in all, it was a wonderful home and a restful stay. Would recommend this property to large familys/groups.
