Hale Lo'i Cottage: Luxury + Convenience in Poipu
This bright, spacious, brand-new 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage has everything you could possibly need for a flawless vacation—and luxurious perks galore, including an outdoor lava-rock shower. Located in a quiet, upscale neighborhood, this charming tropical hideaway is close to some of Kauai’s best beaches, shops, restaurants, and other irresistible attractions. If you just feel like relaxing in your beautiful, hardwood-floored home away from home, there’s high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, an air-conditioned bedroom with comfy king-size bed made up with posh Frette linens, and a full bath, stocked with deluxe Malie Organics sundries (shampoo, conditioner, bath lather, body lotion, and liquid hand soap, all subtly enhanced by Malie’s trademark Koke‘e fragrance).
When you’re ready to venture out, a wonderland of dazzling scenery and entertaining activities awaits. Close to home—within walking distance—you’ll find a picture-perfect sandy beach where you can swim, snorkel, surf, stand up paddle, jog, picnic, read, build sandcastles, or just soak up the restorative rays of the South Shore sun.
A few yards farther down the road is a truly enchanting shopping center: Then Shops at Kukui'ula. Here you can explore enticing restaurants, unique boutiques, beautiful art galleries, and a natural-foods market that features a large selection of delectable takeout fare. This popular hub also features seasonal celebrations and weekly events such as lively “Kanikapila” performances (Hawaiian-music jam sessions) and a colorful Culinary Market where you can stock your fully equipped kitchen with gloriously fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as homemade jams, jellies, and baked goods.
There are many other nearby attractions, too. The spectacular Spouting Horn blowhole is a must-see phenomenon, while the lush, flower-filled National Tropical Botanical Garden offers fascinating guided tours and free hula shows on certain days. It’s an easy walk to a sparkling seaside park, where you can swim, picnic, play lawn games, and catch the stunning sunset every evening. Also close by: several first-class hotels with all the usual public features restaurants that range from casual to elegant; ocean-view bars; state-of-the art spas; and intriguing gift shops.
Once you jump into the car, the menu of appealing excursions will expand so epically that you may wonder how an island the size of Kaua'i can boast such an amazing array of places to go, sights to see, and things to do. With easy access to the highway, Hale Lo'i is ideally located in the center of the island, with Waimea Canyon and expansive, pristine beaches to the west, and majestic Wailua Falls and scenic Hanalei town to the east and north, respectively.
Whether you’ve spent your time lazing at an idyllic white-sand beach, enjoying recreational activities, or being enthralled by the island’s magnificent landscapes, you’ll always come home to the lovely option of a refreshing splash under your own private waterfall: an outdoor shower made from gorgeously rugged lava rocks. Then it’s back to your sunny cottage to relax, revive, and get ready for the next adventure.

Beautifully appointed cottage; very comfortable! Easy walk to Baby Beach and close to many yummy restaurants. Shannon from the management team was gracious and helpful when we needed help. Appreciated this special gem of a property. Mahalo!
We celebrated the 50th anniversary of our first date at the Hale Lo’i Cottage. It was a great location and lodging for a couple for the last week of a month in Hawaii. The cottage is perfect for a couple with ample space, storage and amenities. Great quiet neighborhood location walkable to dining and shopping options. A variety of nice beaches within a few minutes drive among many other area attractions. Wailani Kauai was a very responsive rental agency that was very welcoming and helpful beyond the booking.

Amazing, everything was perfect at this stay from start to finish. We will definitely be back to stay here.
This place is a slice of paradise where tranquility meets modern convenience. The place is perfectly nestled, offering easy access to all you could need while providing a secluded retreat for those seeking peaceful relaxation. Enjoy stylish, comfortable furnishings and top-notch appliances, complemented by a well-equipped kitchen that makes breakfasts on island time an absolute delight.
This cottage is immaculate!! We loved our stay here!! Perfect location! We never wanted to leave Kauai!! I could live in this beautiful cottage for the rest of my life! We would come home from sunset on the beach and it happened to be a full moon that week and we would use the outdoor lava rock shower that was lit by the moonlight!!

We have the trip of a lifetime! Our rental was beautiful, and the attention to detail made all the difference!
The cottage was perfect for the two of us on our honeymoon! Amenities were great (washer/dryer was extremely useful). Bathroom was also nice—the shower was noteworthy. Everything was well stocked from welcome gifts and wine openers to utensils and coffee. The bed was a little finicky, hut we ended up taking off the foam topper which helped a lot. Prime location too! Poipu and Kōloa are awesome places to be on the island!!!

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I! It was spotless when we arrived and was in such a great location, close to Poipu and Shipwreck beaches, restaurants, and easy access to Koloa. We loved our stay and highly recommend this cottage!
This little home away from home was just perfect for the two of us. We were here for a week for our 28th anniversary and it was all that the listing said and more! Our time here was special and we will not forget this place for future bookings. The location was great and the amenities were exactly what we expected, amazing. The bed was comfy and the hosts were welcoming and set the tone of our time here from the time of check in until the morning that we left. It was truly a great stay and we were sad to leave. Mahalo!
Everything about this property was perfect for honeymoon lodging: very clean and organized, spacious for a couple, convenient amenities (including full sized bath products for guests to use that smell and feel great!), very cute and quiet neighborhood, comfortable furniture, and very quick responses from the owner. We were always in the loop if something happened on the property (they let us know their AC units were inoperable, so they put portable AC units in the bedroom and living room that worked just as good). When we arrived, we even received some treats as a welcome gift for our honeymoon. Lots of shops, beaches, restaurants, and activities nearby as well. I wouldn’t have stayed anywhere else. We will definitely recommend this spot to anyone staying in the Poipu area, and we will surely be back as well!
A clean and welcoming property that is beautifully appointed with high end finishes and Hawaiian photography. Furniture is very comfortable. Laundry is handy - don’t overpack! Upon arrival we found a lovely note from the property manager, bottle of wine, snacks and ground coffee. Do not leave food out - ants will find it. Management took care of this immediately. Beautiful indoor shower/bath as well as outdoor. Safe and quiet neighborhood with many large estate properties. Walkable neighborhood and excellent location. Absolutely no complaints! It was perfect!
I had the most delightful stay at this one-bedroom cottage! From the moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by the impeccable cleanliness and the welcoming ambiance. The cottage is not only new but also incredibly spacious, providing ample room to relax and unwind.
The attention to detail in the design and furnishings was outstanding. The modern amenities, coupled with the cozy atmosphere, made for a perfect getaway. Whether it was enjoying morning coffee on the charming porch or cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, every moment here was a pleasure.
The bedroom was a haven of comfort, and the bathroom was pristine. I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable and enjoyable stay. The cottage's location was also convenient, allowing for easy access to nearby attractions.
The host's hospitality was exceptional, ensuring that my stay was smooth and memorable. I can't recommend this cottage highly enough. It truly deserves a five-star rating, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
Quiet, safe neighborhood situated near restaurants and shops and short walk to the ocean! We were kindly welcomed with a bottle of wine, cookies and a Bouquet, a very nice touch! Comfortable bed and just the right size gor 2! The garage is definitely a perk, and we had a remote and vode for easy access. They also sipplied a nice size cooler, beach chairs and umbrella! There's a water hose that we used to wash the red dirt off our hiking boots! Nearby is a walking path that guides you through some beautiful scenery next to a golf course. My husband fell in love with the outdoor shower! The only negative was the television reception was often poor, but, management was very responsive and attempted to solve this problem. We, of course, weren't here for tv so definitely didn't ruin our stay! They were very quick to respond to all our requests. Overall an exceptional property and location! We would stay here again!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The cottage was fantastic and exactly what we needed for our honeymoon stay here in Kaua’i. The area is quiet and perfect for a slower pace vacation. We will definitely rebook for our next Kaua’i trips!
The best we have stayed at. Quiet, super clean, multi-million-dollar neighborhood. Less than a mile to the beach, yet no drunken people ruining your vacation. Thanks again!
We had a wonderful week in Poipu and were very pleased with the accommodations. Very quiet location within minutes of great snorkeling and restaurants. We also went up to Waimea Canyon, which was a beautiful drive, and went on the Canyon Trail hike. The hosts also included a binder with very useful information about the island, including recommendations for restaurants, activities, and places to visit. We highly recommend this place!
This is the perfect cottage for two people. It's roomy, comfortable, and in the best location - close to everything! The kitchen allows for cooking, the laundry machines are great for longer stays, the AC was wonderful and the outdoor shower is an added touch. The communication with the management company was easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful, bright, immaculate cottage for two in a central location within walking distance to the best shops and restaurants in Poipu.
Nice neighborhood. Cottage is great with big open kitchen. Couch and bed are comfortable. Spacious and clean. Would rent this cottage again next time we visit Kauai. Hubby wanted to buy this cottage.
