Hale Nalu: Tropical Cottage in Poipu-Walk to Beach
Scenically situated on the Green Belt pedestrian pathway, this enchanting island-style home combines the casually elegant charm of a country-plantation retreat with an ideally convenient location. Not only is it close to everything—an easy stroll to beaches and restaurants, and a short drive to myriad other South Shore attractions—but the bonus perks include guest privileges at Poipu Kai's nearby facilities: resort-caliber swimming pool, hot tub, and tennis courts.
Inside, every hardwood-floored room is light, bright, beautifully furnished, and filled with art, from the inviting living area to the cheerful bedrooms to the impeccably equipped kitchen. There are thoughtfully curated details everywhere: vivid Hawaiian-themed paintings; ceiling fans with leaf-shaped blades; seahorse lamps; shelves adorned with sculptures, seashells, and other decorative objects; and a master bath with a dramatic Mediterranean-style soaking tub, to name a few. The attractive, many-windowed rooms flow into a large, lovely lanai that offers ample seating on lava-gray rattan furniture with indigo upholstery and throw pillows in shades of sea and sky. All in all, it's the perfect setting for casual meals, celebrations, BBQ feasts, or leisurely relaxation.
Just a few yards beyond the main lanai and grassy backyard is Poipu's iconic Green Belt: a pedestrian pathway that leads to idyllic beaches, appealing restaurants, and the Grand Hyatt Resort. (Bonus treat: the route winds through picturesque landscapes, with the glittering ocean never far from sight.) Slightly farther down the road are even more delights—world-class beaches, irresistible restaurants, intriguing shopping centers, exciting recreations—as well as highway access to the rest of the wondrous island of Kaua'i, where thrilling sightseeing and unforgettable adventures beckon in every direction.
TROPICAL AMBIENCE - Striking Hawaiian-themed paintings echo lush landscaping & the nearby sea - Abundant ceiling fans (some w/distinctive leaf-shaped blades) - Lots of sunny windows w/blinds & drapes for privacy + shade - Lanais comfortably furnished with rattan couches, armchairs, ottomans & daybed - Verdant, mature landscaping - Tall, graceful palms & fragrant plumeria trees - Tranquil views of green foliage, rolling lawns & blue, blue skies - Vast, grassy communal area just beyond backyard (great for lawn games)
ULTRA-CONVENIENT LOCATION + BONUS PERKS - Enjoy guest privileges at nearby Poipu Kai’s resort-style swimming pool + hot tub + tennis courts ($10/day to reserve court) - Green Belt walkway meanders through tropical landscapes & sea-view scenery to gorgeous beaches, enticing eateries & the Grand Hyatt Resort - Dozens of easy day-trip diversions, from the sunny seashore to the cool, misty mountains: natural wonders, tasting/sightseeing tours, botanical gardens, hiking, golf, water sports, learning opportunities, cultural festivities, famous movie locations & more - Also nearby: The Shops at Kukui'ula: restaurants, stores, boutiques & special events

Excellent location, super-comfortable lanai, very very nice house. We had a group of 3 couples and found this property to be perfect. Thanks for sharing it!
Such a great location! Close to all the spots we wanted to visit. Kitchen had all the things needed to cook meals at home when we wanted to rest & just relax at home.Our lanai was the best! Nice to each have our own bathroom.Walkway was a wonderful way to get around the neighborhood.Highly recommend Allerton Garden & sunset dinner; helicopter ride; private chef dinner; Poipu beach to see sea turtles; all the farmer’s markets; Shipwreck beach for sunrise. So many things to do! Mahalo for such a beautiful week

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very clean and well stocked home. Close to beaches and restaurants. Thank you!
Great property and great location right on greenbelt pathway.
Two minor issues: lockbox combo was incorrect, garage is not included although listing says differently. We would all happily stay here again.
The property was located to multiple beaches where we would walk or drive to. The house is well furnished and kitchen has what we need to make coffee and breakfast. We enjoyed sitting on the patio furniture outside in the morning. The beds are very comfortable. And we also loved that the house provided beach chairs and umbrella. Great home for our Kauai stay!
We had a lovely stay in Kauai! The house was exactly as pictured- we loved having dinner every night on the lanai overlooking the greenway and took advantage of the beautiful walking paths to nearby beaches. The house was appointed with everything we needed including beach towels and chairs, laundry and central AC. Easy communication and check in/check out processes made it a perfect escape for our family. We hope to be back soon!

We had a great experience at Hale Nalu. The property was exactly as described online. It was clean, big, and well-maintained. Great location. We’d definitely stay again!
We couldn’t have been happier with our accommodation! Even better than the photos appear on the listing. Every room was spacious and well appointed. Location was amazing. Community pool access was better than expected as well. Few times that we contacted the the host they were helpful and responsive. Would absolutely recommend. Deserves the 5 star rating.

We are so glad we picked this home for our vacation. It was so convenient to walk to the 2 nearby beaches via the greenway. The home was immaculate! Nice furnishings and comfortable. We spent a lot of family time on the lanai. I will definitely recommend this location.

We found this house worked really well for three couples. There were three separate bed/bath areas, one with the laundry machines, and comfortable living and cooking areas. the house was easy to access and being on the pathway meant that it was convenient to walk to and from both Shipwreck Beach and Poipu Beach. Easy communication with the management office.

Amazing 3 bedroom home an easy and beautiful walk to either shipwreck or Poipu beach. The home is comfortable and beautiful with all the amenities you need. I loved the extra touches of beach towels, beach chairs and beach umbrellas provided as well as the outdoor shower, washer and dryer and gorgeous lanai. This all made for a perfectly relaxing vacation!

Unfortunately, a member of our party ended up in the hospital. As we figured out last minute logistics to extend our stay, the crew at Wailani Kauai were nothing but kind, professional, and extremely accommodating. All the thanks in the world for helping us through a difficult time in an amazing property.

Beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable house, ideally located in the heart of the Poipu area. The lanai overlooking the greenway is awesome...a perfect place to start and finish every day. The rental went very smoothly and the support/concierge team was very responsive. All the amenities are in good condition. This is a top-notch property. Our group of four loved it.
This is a nice home and well appointed. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to make our meals. The dishwasher needs to be replaced as it doesn't clean the dishes or dry them.The lanai was our favorite part of the home. We ate outside for every meal.The primary bathroom shower needs some work. The body sprayers are agressive, so you need to turn the controls just right to turn them off.The location of the home is perfect. It's close to Koloa and two golf courses. It's walking distance to the Hyatt, beaches, tennis and pickleball, pools and walking/running paths.

From the moment we arrived the home felt warm and welcoming. There was a welcome pack with flowers and a nice bottle of wine. The home was really clean and all bedrooms have their own bathroom. There were five in our group so that was perfect. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and located a short walk to multiple beaches. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a really nice place to stay that is centrally located on the Poipu side of the island.
House was perfect for our family, and we appreciate that it came stocked with all the necessities (paper towels, laundry detergent, etc). Beaches in walking distance, pool and hot tub a short walk. Being right on the greenbelt was amazing. Highly recommend!
This house is great. The porch in particular is just a fantastic place to have meals or just hang out. Easy walking distance to both Poipu beach and Shipwreck Beach. A really lovely place to stay!
Great location. Very close to the beach in both directions.
This home is very nice in a great location. With the Hyatt hotel nearby it gave us many options for dining and shopping. It feels centrally located to a lot of small towns. I will surely try to stay here again.

We were blessed to be able to have our family stay in this lovely home. The hone is amazing, the location is perfect, and it has everything you could need. If we go back to Kauai, we will try to stay here again. I couldn't recommend it more. Kudos to the property management company, too. Great service and communication.
