Well built, modern home close to several beaches and great restaurants.
Perfect location, clear view of the beach, short walk. Great lanai, and well equipped, clean, no issues with the stay. Umbrellas, grill, chairs provided. The house was spacious with separate sitting areas upstairs and downstairs. Also appreciated the tankless water heater, since we all wound up taking showers when back from the beach and heading out. Ice machine in fridge, separate wine fridge. Grill new and clean. Highly recommend, and better equipped than most VRBOs.

It was ideal for our stay and the location cannot be beat. Watching the waves and seeing the turtles from the lanai was what my soul needed. Absolutely perfect.
Very clean. Amazing location. The Green Sea Turtles every evening on Poipu Beach were awe-inspiring. Great communication with Garden Island Rentals. Very prompt attention to a few minor issues. Well-equipped house and kitchen (loved the coffee pot and coffee grinder). Beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and boogie boards were a plus.
Amazing location with ocean views from every room (except the bathrooms). The house is beautiful and well appointed. Drinks and dinner on the lanai many evenings, great ocean swimming and boogie boarding just steps away. It doesn’t get much better than this. We will definitely stay in this house again.

Reviewer Comments:
This is our second stay at the Lei Hali'a rental home.We were the second guest to stay here 5 years ago after it was built. We also rented the Leipiha ke Aloha home next door for other members of our family this year. This home has been updated with new furnishings and colors and is incredibly comfortable and beautiful. There is nothing in Kauai that has all the amenities this home has.Poipu is on the sunny side of the island.This home is in front of the best beach on Kauai for body surfing and bogey boarding and daily swims with the sea turtles. Once you load up at Costco by the airport, you can find all your other needs at the close by farmers market, local grocery stores, and restaurants, all within 3-4 miles of this location. Suggestions:Recommend the BBQ be replaced.The fire only covers the back cooking surface.This is the same Weber we used 5 years ago and it is timeor a new one. There is one drawback we noticed this stay.Directly across the street is a family compound of 4 homes.We had 20+ parents and children staying there. Playtime in the afternoon was sometimes noisy,so being outside on the lanai was a hit and miss for quiet time. I am certain this will change once school is back in session.

This home and location is perfect! The hosts are fantastic as well responding quickly and very communicative. Pros:1. This house is huge! There is a lot of space in the house but also has a patio and a yard plus a huge public grassy area for your kids to play or use as a great photo opp.2. Well equipped! Has everything you need. Blenders, cookware, rice cooker, bbq, coffee maker, cooler, beach equipment and boogie boards, and toiletries.3. Location! Maybe 50-75 steps to the sand and maybe another 25 steps to the water! You have brenneckes 50 steps away, Poipu beach maybe 200 steps away from brenneckes. You’ll see sea turtles almost every day! Also ship wreck beach has an easy hike where you have to see the sunrise!Cons (not many but figured I would be thorough):1. Parking - yes, there is a 1 car garage and a carport for 1 car. The driveway and angle to park in these spots is a bit difficult. I rented a crossover SUV and it was fine but I can imagine a full size SUV might be a little harder to park. Not a big deal but worth mentioning.2. Towels - I think this goes for all beach house rentals due to the humidity but recommend to bring your own bath towels or just purchase some if you want fresh smelling and fluffy towels.Overall, great property and would 100% recommend renting for your next vacation!

Reviewer Comments:
This property is very nice and well equipped. The two master set up works great for two couples. The location is perfect and overall we really enjoyed our stay. The only issue we had was noise. Our neighbors partied every night until the wee hours. We understand people are on vacation but excessive noise, music and shouting is taking it too far. I would also suggest that the rental company consider providing a small starter pack for renters. When you arrive late and don’t even have a bottle of water or a couple coffee pods for the morning- it’s not fun. Just a few items until guests can get to a grocery would be great- at least water. Overall, great house in a great location.

Lei Hali'a was a gem! Fabulous location, view, amenities and comfort! Kitchen was very well appointed for 2 senior couples who love to cook. Views from every room. A couple items needed attention while we were there for 3 weeks and Garden Island was all over them. Thanks especially to Chela for taking such good care of us!!

Reviewer Comments:
A group of 9 family members stayed in Poipu for the holidays and this house (home to 4 adults) was our central hub. What a fabulous location, layout, and assistance! The house was immaculate and well suited to our intergenerational family dynamic, and the location next to the beach was so fun and handy. We could have easily had a few kids stay here if needed, but thankfully only had the crew over for dinners on the big lanai. The house was probably the best equipped kitchen of any rental we've ever had in more than 10 years of these types of gatherings, and the management group was on top of everything - from our arrival and questions, so special requests. I would HIGHLY recommend this group and this property to families looking for an amazing Poipu experience.

The location was perfect for us. House was well equipped and nicely furnished - perfect for two couples. Hoping to return in the future.
Very large and comfortable house. AC worked well in the living room and two bedrooms. I wish there was also AC in the upstairs living area. There was a bit of foot traffic in front of the house, but otherwise the location is hard to beat!
Great location. Great service. Hope to stay again.

I almost don’t want to say how good this place is; once the secret is out it will be fully booked YEARS in advance! Perfect in every way: spotless, inviting, close to amazing sights, tennis only $60 a week nearby, location, location, location. BOOK IT NOW
My husband and I stayed here for a week and had more than enough space. The house was immaculate. The layout is fantastic and the views of the beach are stunning. The house is in a great location, steps from the beach and no more than 30 minutes from the airport and all of our daily adventures (zip lining, hiking, and boat tour). Kitchen is well stocked with basic spices and utensils. We also used the grill. We would definitely stay here again! Gorgeous!
