Description

Hale Ma’ana Hou | Beachfront Home + Pool, A/C & Beach Access

Some homes offer an ocean view. Hale Ma’ana Hou puts you above it where the view becomes the experience.

One of the home's most extraordinary features is its expansive second-story lanai, creating an elevated vantage point that is among the most impressive places in Poipu to watch the Pacific. From this exceptional perch, the coastline unfolds before you, offering an ever-changing panorama of ocean activity, marine life, passing boats, sunsets and the famous surf breaks of Lawai Bay directly in view.

Grab your morning coffee and watch the surfers find the day's waves. Scan the horizon for dolphins, turtles or seasonal whale activity. Spend the afternoon watching the ocean change beneath the Hawaiian sunshine, then settle in as the Pacific horizon comes alive with color at sunset.

Below, a private heated saltwater pool and expansive lawn create another way to enjoy the outdoors. And beyond the pool, steps lead down to a small beach where you may encounter Hawaiian green sea turtles resting along the shoreline and where snorkeling can offer another opportunity to experience the incredible marine life of Kauai.

This is a rare combination: an elevated ocean-view retreat, a private heated pool and direct access to a secluded stretch of coastline—all in sunny Poipu.

Life on the Oceanfront

At Hale Ma’ana Hou, the ocean provides something different every hour of the day.

The second-story lanai is the home's signature gathering place, offering an elevated perspective that puts you in an ideal position for watching the Pacific. From here, Lawai Bay's surf breaks are directly visible, making it a particularly special setting for anyone who enjoys watching surfers, waves and the ever-changing energy of the coastline. But you don't have to stay above the ocean to enjoy it.

Head downstairs to the backyard and you'll find a private heated saltwater pool, surrounded by a spacious lawn and comfortable poolside gathering areas. Enjoy a refreshing swim, relax in the warm water, gather for an afternoon meal or let the kids enjoy their own tropical playground—all while remaining just steps from the Pacific.

Then follow the steps from the pool area toward the small beach beyond the property. Here, the experience becomes even more unique. The beach and surrounding shoreline are a wonderful place to explore, snorkel when conditions permit, and look for Hawaiian green sea turtles that frequently visit the area. Dawn and dusk can be especially magical, when turtles may be seen resting along the rocks and shoreline.

It is the best of both worlds: the elevated perspective of an oceanfront lanai, the freedom of a private heated pool and the adventure of having a small beach just beyond your backyard.

A Home Designed Around the View

Hale Ma’ana Hou's spacious interior is designed to take full advantage of its remarkable coastal setting. The open living areas create a natural connection between the indoors and the expansive ocean views beyond. Large windows invite the Pacific into the home, while the generous layout provides plenty of room for families, groups of friends or executive travelers to relax and gather comfortably. The oversized kitchen is designed for entertaining, with plenty of space to prepare meals while remaining connected to the activity of the home. An elegant dining area provides a beautiful setting for shared meals, while the lower-level family room offers a more casual gathering space complete with a wet bar and easy access to the pool and backyard.

With five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, the home provides generous space for larger groups while still offering areas to retreat and recharge.

For additional comfort, all five bedrooms are air conditioned, and the entire upper level is also air conditioned. After a day enjoying the beach, pool and Hawaiian sunshine, guests can retreat to cool, comfortable spaces throughout the home.

But the real luxury is the way the home keeps bringing you back to the view. Whether you're cooking dinner, relaxing with a book, gathering with family or watching the surf from the second-story lanai, the Pacific remains part of the experience.

Private Pool Meets the Pacific

A private pool is wonderful. A private heated saltwater pool just steps from the ocean is something else entirely.

The pool area provides a peaceful alternative to the beach and an inviting place to spend the afternoon beneath the Hawaiian sunshine. The heated saltwater pool makes it easy to enjoy a swim at virtually any time of day, while the surrounding lawn provides room for children to play, outdoor dining and relaxed gatherings. After swimming, walk a few steps toward the beach to explore the shoreline, look for turtles or snorkel when ocean conditions are favorable. Then return to the privacy of your own pool and settle in for the afternoon.

Oceanfront adventure and private resort-style relaxation come together in one place.

The Poipu Location

Hale Ma’ana Hou is located in Poipu, one of Kauai's most desirable visitor destinations, celebrated for its sunny South Shore weather, beautiful coastline and abundance of outdoor activities. The property offers a particularly special perspective on Lawai Bay, with direct views toward the surf breaks from the elevated second-story lanai. It is an ideal location for those who love watching the ocean, following the surf or simply having a front-row seat to the ever-changing Pacific.

You're also close to Poipu's beaches, restaurants, shopping, golf and popular island attractions. Poipu Beach is nearby and is well known for its beautiful shoreline and frequent wildlife sightings, including Hawaiian green sea turtles. For those who enjoy walking or running, the area also provides convenient access to one of Kauai's popular coastal paths.

You can spend the day exploring the South Shore, return home for an afternoon in your private pool, head down to the beach to watch for turtles, and finish the evening high above the Pacific on your second-story lanai.

A Rare Poipu Experience

Hale Ma’ana Hou is not simply a beachfront vacation home. It is a place where you can watch Lawai Bay's surf breaks from above, swim in your own heated saltwater pool, walk down to a secluded beach, snorkel along the coastline, look for sea turtles at dawn and dusk, and watch the Pacific transform beneath a Kauai sunset.

Few homes combine all of these experiences in one setting and perhaps that is what makes Hale Ma’ana Hou so special. From the elevated lanai to the private pool, from the beach below to the surf breaks beyond, the ocean is not just something you see here.

It is the reason you came.

Our stay at Hale Ma’Ana Hou was more than we could have asked for. The amazing views, the beautiful pool and the spacious house for our family of 10 was more than we could’ve asked for. The Garden Island staff was attentive to our every request and we appreciated how quickly they responded to our questions.

Our multi-state, multi-generational family of 9 couldn't have had a better vacation experience at Hale Ma'ana Hou. From the gorgeous ocean views to the best equipped kitchen ever, to comfortable beds and spacious rooms, to generously supplied beach equipment, and the sweet pool graced by a bottom dwelling tile turtle, we simply had the best time ever. The living spaces were comfortable and made for great gathering time with our grandchildren and their parents for cards, dinner, breakfasts and evening TV watching (Jurassic Park, of course!) Thank you for a wonderful stay. In addition to the many exciting activities and beautiful sites we visited, Hale Ma'ana Hou was our home-away-from-home launchpad that helped to make lifetime memories for us all.

It was an amazing house, so well equipped from the kitchen to the exercise equipment,beach chairs, umbrellas snorkeling and everything in between. We had young grandkids along so the 2 minute walk to baby beach was a nice experience. Plus restaurants, stores, shave ice so close. I have to mention the 8 to 12 turtles resting outside the house nightly as pretty magical.<br/> Plus the management was great very good communication throughout the whole process. <br/>So as you can tell we lived it. Thank you for such a beautiful house and experience.

My wife and I rented this house to celebrate a special occasion with our 2 daughters and their families, the youngest being 9 years old. The house was very spacious and well equipped. The location was amazing, right on the ocean, with a swimming pool, nice yard area and a large lanai. Though the location was excellent, and we loved the property, the home is starting to show it's age and could definitely use some updating. All in all it was a great home for an ocean front Hawaiian vacation.

Best views around. So relaxing to sit on back deck or at breakfast table and watch the sunrise, sunset, surfers in the distance. We had a sea turtle and seal swim up to our property the first night. Parakeets slip in the coconut trees above. Well equipped kitchen was perfect for our family and go cooked several nights. So much equipment available to use in the pool room, snorkel gear, beach, chairs, etc. everything we could want! Thanks for the relaxing week!

Our family (6 adults & 4 kids from 6-15) rented Hale Ma'ana Hou in July 2025. It was a great week! <br/>The house is spacious and well-equipped. There are five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and plenty of room to spread out. The grandkids spent hours in the pool every day. The view is spectacular!<br/>The small beach allowed access to the ocean, where there is a small semi-protected area for swimming and snorkeling. And every evening, two or three sea turtles arrived and spent the night on our beach!<br/>We highly recommend this beautiful house!

We had 7 adults and 2 infants and this place was perfect. Everyone had their own space and bathroom! There was even a pack-n-play and spoon walker available for the babies! The pool was pristine, and the tiny beach hosts sea turtles every night! The location was perfect... a quick walk to baby beach and short drive to shopping and dining. We all agreed this might be our new family reunion location. And the communication with manager was fast!! Highly recommend.

Perfect for our family vacation - ages 2 months to late 60's. We've rented several houses in Poipu area (our favorite go-to) and this was my personal favorite located ON the beach with a pool, walking distance to our favorite shaved ice stand, restaurants, and shopping center. Ocean views and sunsets were beautiful - we would definitely go back.

This house was perfect in every possible way. The home was spacious, clean and well kept inside & out. There was so much to do on the South side of the island, but there were times we just wanted to stay and relax at the home. Sitting on that balcony and watching the water was absolutely hypnotizing. I don't know how to describe the feeling of waking up in the morning, grabbing a coffee and just staring out at the water listening to the waves. It is paradise personified. It was a short walk into the Kuikui'ula Village shops and a cute little market (with unreal Acai Bowls) - a walk we made a few mornings and evenings. This house was everything we dreamed it would be. The staff at Garden Island Rentals was communicative and quick to respond on everything. Thank you all!

We really loved the location. The small, mostly private beach with excellent snorkeling was a highlight our our trip. Watching for sea turtles, listening to the waves and enjoying the balcony didn't get old for any of us. The kids used the pool daily, which was supplied with a huge array of toys and floats. <br/>We also found many shopping and restaurant options within walking distance. Sidewalks are present around the area as well, which isn't something you'll see on many parts of the island. <br/>The house was stocked with plenty of plates and glasses for our party of 9. Having access to the garage was a huge benefit since the drive is quite small. <br/>We really enjoyed our stay. <br/>I would recommend fixing the gait which is supposed to go across the driveway and/or fence/gait the side yard on the right. I wasn't thrilled with leaving all the windows/sliders open on the first floor at night when there wasn't any outer security. It got pretty hot without the windows and sliding doors open at night. <br/>We wouldn't hesitate to stay in this area or in this house if we even come back to Kauai. It's pricey, but so is everything else on the Islands. No one goes to HI to save money, but this home helped us to maximize value by having so many positives.

The location of this property was perfect. We could be in Koloa or Poipu in under ten minutes. Spouting Horn and Allerton Garden are right down the road. We walked to the monthly craft fair held on The Beach House property for local handmade gifts to bring home.<br/>Except for when spearfishermen (a class (?) came five times during our two weeks) were out back, we went right from the gate at the back of the property to swim and snorkel. We brought our own masks and appreciated the three pairs of fins that were provided. We saw honu in the water and one visited the small beach on two different days. It is a rocky beach with a small sand area, but Baby Beach's wide expanse can be accessed by a public walkway between the homes just a few houses up the road.<br/>The mornings were perfect for sitting on the upper deck. Once the hot sun rose, we were glad to have the lower deck and some shade when we returned from afternoon adventures. <br/>We had ample plates, cutlery and bedding and clean bath and beach towels. After a particularly rain day when everyone came back splashed with mud it was wonderful to have the washer and dryer.<br/>Note: the only bathroom on the lower level is next to the king BR, so they have to share with anyone in the twin-bedded room also on that floor.<br/>Our favorite takeout restaurant was Savage Shrimp with ample parking and only 5 minutes away. Bubba's was good too. The best "fancy" restaurants we would recommend are The 1849 Eating House and Japanese Grandma's Cafe. The property manager recommended Aloha Sweet Delights for fresh malasadas and we made that part of two different trips headed west. <br/>Don't miss seeing the NaPali coast with Capt'n Andy! For a relaxing day that gives back, consider taking a dog from the Humane Society on a Field Trip Day. For another day, you're right down the road from Allerton Botanic Garden - just sayin'!

The Hale Ma'ana Hou Home is the best vacation rental we have experienced. Our family of nine ranging in age from 13 to 70 enjoyed a week in paradise. The home was beautiful, well stocked with anything you could possibly want or need, was large enough to give everyone their own space and separation when needed and to top it off we had the best seats for sunsets and turtle visits every evening.

Amazing property, location, and perfect for large groups

I am a repeat visitor to the Hawaiian Islands and have come to learn that the proximity to the beautiful ocean can also cause problems. The salt air wreaks havoc on appliances, and the smaller islands can have supply issues with parts and skilled repair people. Our Rental agency did their best to solve our problems and were generous (a Liliko"i Pie!) in their apology. Yes, I would stay here again.

We loved our beach house! Right on the beach with incredible views. The location was perfect, walkable to the mall and restaurants. The house was clean, well equipped and suites our large family well. It has everything we needed. Garden Island Rentals responded to all questions all along the way. We would definitely rent this house again!

We had a great vacation. The house was better then expected. We snorkeled everyday in the ocean behind the house and went surfing a lot, best part was we didn&#x2019;t have to leave the house to have a good time, everything was close.

My husband and I rented home for our extended family ( two sons , their wives and four young granddaughters ). The rental agency was great, helped with delivery of baby items, and kept us updated on rental information. They were in constant communication.<br/>Home is beautiful, clean and well stocked with towels, kitchen supplies and even laundry soap. Plenty of seating at pool and well stocked with snorkel equipment, beach chairs, floats and sand toys.<br/>The location can&#x2019;t be topped. We were right on the beach, great snorkeling in front of home and we were visited nightly by large sea turtles. The view is unbelievable from both levels.<br/>We walked to nearby shopping center for shopping, bars, restaurants and a farmers market. And of course shave ice.<br/>Grand daughters loved the pool and walking to baby beach a few steps away.<br/>The location can&#x2019;t be topped. Perfect for families!! <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

Hale Ma'ana Hou is amazing! 5 stars.

We had a fantastic stay at Hale Ma&#x2019;ana Hou!!! We absolutely loved it. The beachfront location of this home is amazing! It&#x2019;s literally a matter of steps to basically be on your own private beach and you have your own private pool. We had a couple issues with the washer and the air conditioner upstairs, but Brenda and Chela (from Garden Island Properties) were super responsive and had both fixed and/or replaced during our stay. The home is a bit on the older side so some things may need to be upgraded in the future. For example, some of the windows/hardware will probably need to be replaced as they were challenging to open and close. But overall, the house is really well maintained, has a spacious layout to accommodate large groups and its ocean view and location can&#x2019;t be beat. We had so much fun at this home and would highly recommend staying at Hale Ma&#x2019;ana Hou.<br/>

Met and exceeded all expectations.

This was the best family vacation we hav3 had. We visited with my 3 sons and 2 daughters in law. The house was perfect for us. <br/>It&#x2019;s a terrific designed home for groups who also want to escape occasionally to other areas for privacy.<br/>The management company was first class and very attentive. The house is clean and well maintained.<br/>The home was very well stocked and provided everything we needed for our 10 days there. <br/>The ocean views and nightly sunsets are absolutely stunning. Having a private beach where we could swim and snorkel was a luxury.<br/>Thank you for everything. We are filled with gratitude for such an awesome experience.<br/>( One suggestion I would make, is to switch up 2 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms upstairs shares a Jack and Jill. I would move that King sized bed to the basement bedroom that currently has 2 twins. Of done that way it would provide 4 couples with private bathrooms and a bedroom for children connected to parents etc.:

Hale Ma&#x2019;ana Hou was a fantastic home located on one of the best snorkeling beaches. The pool was clean with an outdoor shower where we rinsed off after being down on the small beach. The kitchen was fully equipped with more china, pots an pans than I have in my home. Lots of snorkeling an boogy boards. I&#x2019;d give this home 5 stars .

The wait was much worth it! This family holiday was supposed to happen back in 2019 but then unfortunately COVID happened. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Our stay here at Hanaa mou....( check spelling) has brought so many lasting memories to our family. <br/>The location was perfect and views were amazing!! The sunsets were absolutely just breathtaking and stunning beyond words. My 7 year old daughter enjoyed seeing the turtles on the beach every night and boogie boarding on baby beach. These will be memories she will have forever and I am beyond grateful for that. LOTS of dolphin and whale sightings right from the balcony.... (except for the times it ended up being snorklers. Hahahahah) However, the 10 foot tiger shark that was feeding in 2 feet of water right in front of the house, was a bit nervy but also quite exciting as you don't see that everyday! <br/><br/>The kitchen was phenomenal for cooking meals. Tons of utensils and kitchen gadgets that made things so much easier. My dad and brother in law much appreciated the brand new high quality bbq and made our fresh steaks and Ahi turn out just perfectly!! <br/><br/>Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to all our friends. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay as a family to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary. <br/><br/> The one and only suggestion to be made is to have better quality soaps in the bathrooms. When staying in such a phenomenal high end home in such a beautiful place, it's nice to feel like you're staying at a 5 star hotel. <br/><br/>We are from Canada and if we could offer a suggestion Rocky Mountain Soap Company has amazing beautiful soaps that are all natural and have made our experience at places memorable. <br/><br/>We can't thank you enough for your generosity in sharing your beautiful home with our family and all 6 of us are so grateful for the memories we have created here!

We brought our kids and grandkids for my 60th birthday and were lucky enough to have stayed in this beautiful home. It was everything and more that we were looking for. The location is amazing for watching the sunset off the patio and overlooking the ocean. The views are breath taking. The pool was wonderful to have for the kids and we spent many hours swimming and having dinners on the patio. The beach below the house was such a special treat and the snorkleling was the best in the area. The house has everything you would need and all the rooms were spacious and accommodated all of us. The staff at Garden Island were so helpful. They were friendly and always available for any questions we had. We have been to Kauai several times and this home is definitely our favorite. Cant wait to go back. Mahalo for the memories we were able to make there.

My family loved this house. The new owners have made updates that are tasteful, comfortable, and fit the setting beautifully. We spent the majority of the week in the pool listening to the ocean crash just feet away. Best of both worlds! The owners had mentioned that the snorkeling right there was some of the best they had experienced in Kauai, and we would agree! I think we saw the whole cast of Finding Nemo. We also enjoyed watching a turtle feeding on the rocks right on the other side of the sea wall. The balcony is a great place to start your day, and possibly an even better better place to end it - the sunsets were gorgeous. The rental agents were also very helpful and responsive throughout the process. In short, we would rent this home again in a heartbeat.

My family and I (9 people) spent a week at Hale Ma&#x2019;ana Hou in April 2022 and this place was wonderful. The location can&#x2019;t be beat. Better snorkeling right off the house than what we had on a tour! House was clean! Parking is limited but we used the garage and with 3 cars there was no problem. It would have been nice to have a kuerig. Also the ice maker is hard pressed to keep up with 9 people, but we bought ice at local stores ~0.5 miles away. Loved the pool! Would definitely recommend this place and would come back here again!! Very convenient to shops and restaurants.

This is a beautiful spacious house at a wonderful location, within walking distance to beaches and shopping center. It was perfect for our family of 7. The furnishings were very nice. There were plenty of beach towels for our use, also boogie boards and some snorkeling equipment were available. It would have been nice to have a beach umbrella also, as most condos that we have stayed in have. The property management was very responsive to our needs. There were a few maintenance issues with the house, however. The ice machine and water dispenser in the fridge only worked intermittently. The windows were not very clean and because they are old many were difficult or impossible to open and close. And upon our arrival we were told that the A/C was not in working order in the upper floor of the house. In spite of these issues I would recommend this rental.

Manager's Response

Access to the little beach in front as well as two easy beaches within walking distance was an added bonus.
