Hale Moana – Your Perfect Beachfront Getaway in Poipu

Welcome to Hale Moana, a stunning beachfront escape that offers an ideal setting for a peaceful and unforgettable Kauai vacation. This home, located just steps from the shore, boasts direct access to Baby Beach and is a dream come true for beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy the calm, sun-kissed waters of the beach, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. Hale Moana is also just a short walk from Whaler's Cove and the popular Beach House Restaurant, offering oceanfront dining and breathtaking sunset views.

A Family Legacy and Historic Charm
Hale Moana shares a family legacy with its sister home, Hale Kai. Both homes are connected via a breezeway, with a privacy wall on the back lanai, allowing you to stay close to family or friends while enjoying your own personal space. The property has been in the Smith-Waterhouse family since 1850, and you can learn more about the family’s missionary-doctor history in the book “100 Years of Healing” by Evelyn Cook.

Step Outside to Paradise
Wake up each morning to the soothing sound of the ocean, with the golden sands of Baby Beach right outside your door. Whether you spend your days relaxing by the water or exploring Poipu, Hale Moana offers the perfect base for your island adventure. With its sunny weather and calm waters, Poipu is the ideal place for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and beachcombing.

This was our third vacation rental on Baby Beach with Garden Island Rentals and like our prior stays, the property and location can&#x2019;t be beat for families with small children. <br/><br/>Have not had issues with customer service before but was disappointed this trip. When we asked the concierge contact if there was extra toilet paper stocked in the house we were told &#x201C;we provide the initial starter amount of toilet paper, any additional needs during the stay are our guest's responsibility.&#x201D; This was surprising given that housekeeping had left a &#x201C;starter amount&#x201D; of less than half of a roll in one of the two bathrooms. An unplanned trip to Longs to purchase toilet paper half way through our stay was not what we had in mind for our relaxing family vacation. Felt pretty cheap given the price of the rental and minimum stay required at booking. Plan accordingly! All things considered a relatively minor inconvenience but we&#x2019;ll look to book with another rental company going forward.

Fantastic visit!

This was our 10th visit to the baby beach houses.....perfectly beautiful vacation spot....all the houses make for a very comfortable stay, so much so that you never want to leave. Beach in your front yard, along with turtles and the view is fantastic. And the sunsets are breathtaking....

Enjoyed our stay at Hale Moana with its excellent views and sounds of the ocean waves. Perfect location with lots of things to see and do, but also very relaxing. Bring a good book to read on the deck.

We loved our time at Hale Moana. This is our 3rd time renting from Garden Island Rentals but the first in this home. We love the location and the home had everything we needed. Sitting on the lanai and looking at the ocean was heavenly. And the 2 turtles that came up on the beach each day were the icing on the cake! We did have some problems with the keypad for entry, perhaps it needs a new battery?

Loved this house. It was such a beautiful house and location. It wasn&#x2019;t a beach that we wanted to stay at with with our older kids. There wasn&#x2019;t any waves. But it was the perfect house/beach with younger kids. Two turtles came on the shore every night. I liked how close it was to all of poipus amenities. All the cooking things you could want. Wish the master had a king bed. The queen felt small and it was kinda hard. But it was fine. Turn on sound machine at night so rosters don&#x2019;t wake you so early <br/><br/>

We had a group of kids and grandchildren staying close by in another rental and used the lawn at Hale Moana as our evening sunset get together and Baby beach for the little ones to swim. Perfect. Very comfortable and well appointed for the grandparents to relax and enjoy the view and escape to paradise.

As in years gone by our stay on Baby Beach & Hale Moana was a slice of Heaven. Perfect weather, warm water, daily turtles on the beach...who could ask for more. Garden Isle was available and accommodating. We have absolutely nothing negative to say about our two week stay...other than the fact we had to leave...making plans to return next year..will probably need to move to the Stone House due to more folks coming with <br/>us.

Our three week stay in Hale Moana was fabulous. We have returned at least a half dozen times in the last decade. It is rare to find such a comfortable house in such a perfect location. Some times friends join us, sometimes family. We like to cook, read, do puzzles and take long walks each morning. Kauai climate, even the occasional showers and winds, is wonderful change from home in cold and snowy North Idaho.

We have returned many times to Hale Moana inviting family or friends to share this cozy, comfortable ocean-front house with us. It works for all kinds - walkers, joggers, surfers, and readers who want to hang out on the deck overlooking Baby Beach and the ocean. The well equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare favorite meals. Already looking forward to returning next year.

Great experience. Helpful rental company, Beach is quiet with great sunset viewing. Home is ready for some updates but was comfortable and met our needs very well. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with sharp knives which is huge for us. Would definitely recommend.

It was a great week of perfect weather, glorious sunsets and a great beach at our footsteps. It was quiet, relaxing and comfortable. Recommend it highly; we&#x2019;ll definitely be back.

Aloha Maureen,

Thank you for choosing us to host you at Hale Moana for your trip to Kauai! Nothing beats walking out of your back door onto the lanai, with the most perfect family beach just steps away! We look forward to hosting your family here again some other time!

We so enjoyed our stay at Hale Moana! The home is beautiful, spacious, and steps from the beach. The kitchen is ample and easy to cook in. We also used the grill which cooked our meat perfectly. We played games almost every night at the dining room table listening to the waves. We also celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and our son&#x2019;s 18th birthday in Kauai. My only complaint would be the screens on most of the windows either don&#x2019;t fit or have holes allowing bugs inside. We made sure to get anything that came in, but it would have been nice to leave the windows/ sliding door open as we sat inside. Thanks for having us and we hope to make it back for our 25th wedding anniversary.&#x2764;&#xFE0F;

Hale Moana was the perfect location for my husband and I to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The view off of the lanai was beautiful, it's where we spent most of our time. The home was clean, the kitchen has all you need to be able to enjoy cooking your meals at home, and the beds are very comfortable. We were sad to leave but know we will be back again!

Have returned to Hale Moana several times for its perfect location and comfortable, homey feel. Great for two couples. Cook in or eat out. Walk to shops or along Lawai road to spouting horn. Enjoy evening sunsets and frequent morning rainbows. The best of Poipu just outside the door.

Quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed the &#x201C;wake up rooster &#x201C; every morning....wonderful way to start your morning. Clean, comfortable and everything you need to cook in the kitchen. Just a few steps, off the porch, to the small beach. Will be back soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hale Moana. The home was very comfortable, and we had wonderful views from the house and deck. The ability to walk steps to baby beach was perfect. When the tide is higher and there are bigger waves, it's great for some easy body boarding as well.

Manager's Response

Aloha Paul & Amanda,

We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Hale Moana! We could not agree more that the home is very comfortable for a group of 4, provides wonderful beach/coastline views and that having Baby Beach just steps away makes it a great vacation destination. We look forward to hosting you again one day. Mahalo!

Amazing location. Baby beach was perfect -- private, shallow enough so we could let the kids swim and snorkel on their own, beautiful sunsets. The house was neat and clean, with lots of fun beach toys and books. Only suggestion is that the place could use some updating in the bathrooms and the kitchen cabinets didn't close.

Very nice location and a nice clean house. A little outdated, but price was really fair. We chose this location due to bringing our toddler granddaughter with us and it was perfect.

We&#x2019;ve returned to Hale Moana 4 consecutive years. It&#x2019;s homey, perfectly tucked away in a neighborhood with privacy overlooking beautiful &#x201C;baby&#x201D; beach, and just a short walk from shopping and resort beaches. We sit on the porch every evening to watch the sunset. An ideal getaway from our cold and snowy home.

Manager's Response

Aloha Mindy,

We are so happy to hear that for the last four years you have enjoyed your stays at Hale Moana! We could not agree more about the location being ideal with its proximity to the beach and short walk to the shops at Kukuiula just up the street. We look forward to your return for many years to come. Mahalo!
