We enjoyed our time here but the property needs some maintenance. Great location with a great view and many turtles each day. The property is not well maintained and it would be pretty easy to make some basic but much needed repairs. Air conditioners in three (3) rooms were broken and replaced with temporary freestanding units. Pool had many broken (missing) waterline tiles, refrigerator/freezer did not work well, lights in two rooms flickered when turned on, several sliding doors were very difficult to open, control knobs on two showers fell off when using, etc.

House has been updated in several areas, however rest of home needs to be completed...bathrooms, kitchen, pool surrounding ledge broken with missing rocks. Responded to our 13 day stay of frustrations and discomfort with a check for 1 night

The home was as beautiful as the pictures showed on Vrbo. The view from the 2nd floor landing was amazing during sunrise and sunset. We were visited by sea turtles almost every evening. The air conditioning was adequate in the bedrooms. The a/c in the upstairs living room could not kep up with August heat and humidity.

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.

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.

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/>

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

We were lucky enough to spend a week in the Hale Ma'ana Hour house. The view is absolutely spectacular, so time spent on the upstairs deck and in the garden downstairs was the best. Access to the little beach in front as well as two easy beaches within walking distance was an added bonus. Some aspects of the house are slightly tired, but we were very pleased with the responses from the rental agency on anything we needed. We would absolutely recommend this property and hopefully we'll be back as well.
